I think at this point (counting by 14 weeks) we are all "officially" in the second trimester :joy! Seems like this might be a good time to get our Spotlight threads scheduled/started, for those who are interested!

Borrowed from the May DDC:
What is a spotlight thread? You'll get a thread for a week that is all about you! Other members in our ddc can ask whatever questions they want and you (the one in the spotlight) answer them Maybe people want to know what brought you to mothering, what jobs you've held, why you like to sew, how many cities you've lived in, if you like cats or dogs better, etc! It's all just to become more familiar with each other.

To participate, please reply to this post expressing your interest and I'll create a schedule with at least one thread per week (depending on how many decide to participate - we may have more than one per week!) If you know you'll be too busy to reply to questions during the week you're scheduled, we can always swap.

Please reply before next Monday (12 Jan) if you'd like a spotlight - I'll post the schedule (and the first thread!) by early next week. (but you can always join later if you'd like!! easy to add more threads )

Looking forward to this!!!!

I would like to sign-up, and I hope everyone else does, too! I always loved being able to ask random questions, (like, what are your top 3 favortie movie lines?) and get to know everyone a little better.

Works great for me! That's the week after I finish up the boys' required yearly school exams. Perfect timing.

Meant to ask this before - would someone be willing to start my thread this week?? Feels a little silly to start a "conversation" with myself (though I've totally been there...)
