In Friday's mail, I was shocked to see a very special package for me from my friend Valerie: Baby Brother's first gift, warm little slippers to keep his toes cozy--a perfect gift for our first winter baby! The slippers say, "Thank heaven for little boys." :)Valerie is such a special person. The daughter of my well-loved kindergarten teacher, she is a homeschooling mom who was highly influential in our decision to homeschool Josiah. She is the kindest of mentors and, if she was a boy, should be named Barnabas because of how encouraging she is!
Thank you, Valerie! I treasure this gift--and even more, I treasure your friendship. I hope to be like you when I grow up! :)

AWww!!! Sweet! I didn't know that you still kept in touch with Valerie (as in last name starts with B, right?)
May the blessings keep pouring forth!
Yes, Valerie B. is the one! :)
We had not really been in touch for years, but after we moved back here and were considering educational options for Josiah, she sent me a very long, very helpful email...and we just picked up from there. This isn't the first time I've gotten an unexpected blessing from her in the mail; she's just that type of person! Wonderful! :)
