And here I thought Strawholder had a profound and inspirational meaning!!!! I always pictured something autumnal ~ some sort of hay bale or something, lol. Or pine straw. Definitely wasn't thinking drinking straws, lol. |

Oh my! Can't believe all the love. <3
So, to clear up the name... Way back when I was pregnant with my firstborn, I was trying to create an account with ivillage, and every single name I tried was taken. I didn't want something with a bunch of numbers at the end. I looked around the room, and saw that can of WD-40, and there was a little place on it labeled "straw holder" and the rest is history. ha! Not very exciting, but it's been me for almost 13 years now.
I registered again in hopes that I would actually come back and participate, and then I promptly forgot about it. I blame it on the baby. (I blame everything on the baby.) I'll try to be better though. Would love to be back in the community!!

How many little ones do you have now? Do they speak some Spanish? Six little ones now (although some of them are not so little anymore!). And they don't speak much Spanish at all. It's one of my biggest regrets from our time here in Spain. |

6?? Wow, that's wonderful! I can't remember for sure, but I think you had 2 boys and 2 girls when you were here last? Stop in when you have time!  |

Sorry, Julie, but family loyalty and the interest of being an awesome aunt requires me to stick by my first assessment. But yours are DEFINITELY the most amazing in the UK. And once Laura and her fam move back to the States, and alas, her children become the SECOND most amazing children in North America, yours will get top pick. |
