Now that the proverbial holiday dust has settled I am taking stock of the gifts my family received this year; a year we all agreed to spend less, avoid the consumerism monster and give more to charity. It is always difficult for me to not get a gift for someone special though. I love to see their face...

I am sorry to take such a long break from Pure Mothers, but the holidays and my baby cutting 4 molars at once necessitated it.  I will be back soon with more topical posts.  Happy New Year!
