This is an article from the her*meneutics blog on Christianity Today's website that I could have written myself: Gosnell and My Heart for Tiny Babies.

March For Babies

Tomorrow my mom and dad and I are taking Ben and marching for babies with the March of Dimes!  I am so thankful for all the work March of Dimes has done.  I know their research is one thing that enabled Ben to do as well as he did.  To learn more, go  here.

School of Cloth Twitter Party -- TONIGHT!

You probably haven't noticed, but I am now on Twitter.  I wouldn't call myself a Tweeter, but I tweet occasionally at Twitter parties.  Basically, I joined Twitter so I could win things.  I've participated in 4 or 5 Twitter parties, and won a prize twice, so I feel like it has been worth it.

There's a great Twitter party tonight, hosted by the Cloth Diaper Geek. Go here to learn all about it!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

If Goodreads allowed half stars, I would give this a 3.5.  Maggie comes from a family of spies, and at sixteen she is on her first solo assignment -- to befriend a boy at a posh Manhattan high school and make sure his father doesn't blow their cover. There's more relationship drama than actually spying, but it's a fun, light read fans of the Gallagher Girls.
