I’m writing about hospitality for a post up tomorrow and remembering when my friend Kerri wrote “Welcome” with her finger in the dust on her entryway table before having all the church ladies over for a book club meeting.

There are lots of things I’ll miss when I’m no longer parenting toddlers. That thing where they pretend to be boneless when you’re setting them down because they don’t want to be put down? I won’t miss that.
