My interview at Connecting Moms today
I have an in-depth interview about my personal and writing background up at Connecting Moms today. If you don't already know more than you want to about Barbara Curtis :) you can read it here.
If you're visiting from Connecting Moms and have a little extra time, grab a cup of coffee and explore a little. MommyLife began January 15, 2005 and currently receives between 3500-4000 visits per day. More than my personal blog, the 2000+ entries here are loaded with encouragement and information for parents of all ages - much of it contributed by my readers in their thoughtful and generous comments (8694 to date).
Click on the Categories tab above to see the kinds of things we're talking about - or use my personal Google in the right sidebar to look for any topic you are interested in - from potty training and cutting children's hair to rising above your limitations to find more joy in your everyday life as a mom.
Thank you, Sandy for the invitation to be interviewed, your thoughtful questions, and for your patience waiting for me to find the time during a busy summer!

I recently found your blog and must say I am very impressed. I find you to be very insightful, full of useful information, fun and VERY REAL.
I relate on a couple of levels, as I have a 21 year old mentally handicapped son who still lives at home. I also adopted 2 small children whom I home school and have sets of challenges of their own due to abuse and neglect. In reading about your experience with the public schools and your "neighbors" (I hesitate to use that word as is holds a meaning of a positive connection) I am reminded of why I opted to home school my son and the when we moved to an area where there was a school housing only MH kids, we fought to get our son in there instead of in the main stream high school where the school district wanted him. I understand inclusion, however, my son is extremely sweet and understands rejection and harsh words. His spirit would have been broken. Instead he was a high functioning MH kid who thrived in an environment where he was encouraged to learn and be a helper and he was loved by, not just staff, but the students as well. He is now waiting for his funding to come through so he can work at "The Center of Hope". I pray your public school will see the error of their ways and put their prejudices where they belong. If not then I pray for strength for you as it would then appear that new people need to fill these positions, not just the guidance counselor!
