Yesterday The Next Family<\/a> put up a guest post I wrote in response to this prompt: It would be great to have you write your story —\u00a0being a cancer survivor and a mom (an adoptive mom), how it was for you, where you are now, how it’s changed for you…<\/em><\/p>\n It\u2019s funny how framing a situation differently, asking a slightly different question, can elicit a totally new and different response. You can read the post here<\/a>.<\/p>\n And check out The Next Family while you\u2019re there \u2013 they\u2019ve got interesting content from ur<\/em>b<\/em>anite families<\/em>, adoptive families<\/em>, in vitro parents<\/em>, interracial families<\/em>, same sex parents<\/em>, and single parents.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n Also, I\u2019d like to take this opportunity to do a little more shameless promotion. Hysterical Mommy Network has been nominated for the Parenting Blog section of the Best of Western Washington contest. I’m just so tickled about the whole thing. It makes me giggle. If you\u2019d be so kind… If you haven\u2019t already\u2026 Would you vote here<\/a>, please? That color you\u2019re wearing looks so nice on you. It matches your eyes and, my goodness, those lashes\u2026 You look particularly lovely today.<\/p>\n Love you all!
