The article is mostly about Dr. D’s life – it doesn’t have the hints. Sorry if I misled. You’ll have to check the books out for the info.

I was introduced to Dr. Denmark by my friend Jorja. When I found out I was pregnant with Little I, of course, wanted to read everything I could to prepare and Jorja had actually taken her daughter to see Dr. Denmark! So, I got the book and read it and thought it was alot of common sense that’s not so common anymore! I gave the book to my friend Erika and I think she thought Dr. D was a freak. (It became a little joke between us.)

Turns out Dr. D went to Georgia Southern, honey’s alma mater. When she attended it was called the First District A&M School and she graduated in 1918 but her picture and an article about her life appeared in the Alma Mater magazine this past year and I ripped out the page immediately. I was astounded to find she is still alive and kicking. I misplaced the article and just found it so I wanted to share her with you. I can email you the whole article if you want.

Dr. Denmark was the first woman to attend Medical College of Georgia and always practiced in an office adjacent to her home. She helped develop the vaccination for whooping cough. She says kids shouldn’t drink milk after 6 months and has alot of other thoughts on nutrition and health that some would find shocking – even though they are amazingly accurate – is that the word. I have both her books: Dr. Denmark Said It! and Every Child Deserves a Chance. Want some controversy and a few helpful hints? Give the books a read!

My friend Liz was born on Feb. 29 – a leap year baby. So, this year is actually the fourth time she gets to celebrate on her actual birthday. I was so excited that I remembered. I bought her a real gift and have been walking by it reminding myself that I need to wrap it up and get it into the mail with enough time to spare.

A friend from my church called and offered to come over tomorrow for two hours so I can run errands with no kids! Isn’t that the dearest! So, I sat down last night and made a list of the places I need to go and what I need to do to be ready to get it all done. So, returns to Target – all bagged and by the door. Clothes to sell at consignment – all bagged and by the door. Ah – I can go to the post office child free and mail Liz’s package.

So, I just wrapped it in a brown bag and addressed it all up. Then I realized – – No card. No note saying it is from me. No wrapping paper on the actual box. I am a loser!

Sorry, Liz. It’s from me. Hope you like it.
Happy Birthday! You and Little turn four two days apart 🙂
