( Allow? Allow God? Who am I to allow God? ) “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” Proverbs 3:5, 6 Sometimes people ask me what scripture we base our family size on. I think they expect me to quote verses like "Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.” - Psalm 127:3-5 Or to quote all the "Be fruitful and multiply" verses.

I've been trying to join momys.com and two times I've tried to register and haven't received any notification. I recognized your name (and HordeMommy) from RGT (I was cloth_doll there - I no longer am there only because I asked to take a break for a little bit (I was on ALL day, almost every day! - I may join back up this winter after our 4th baby is born).
Anyway, any chance you have any information? Thanks for letting me bother you about this on your blog!
Hope all is well :)
And I'll see what I can do. :)
