Well, Garden Variety Family was today's Typepad featured blog. So cool! I had no idea. They contacted me to let me know I had been selected way back in early April, but they never gave me a date. I tried to find out to no avail. Then Typepad changed its homepage so I thought that maybe they were changing how they did things and I was going to miss out. Late this evening I found out I was featured when a friend sent me a congratulations. I was floored.
On top of that my blog hit 10,000 views today.
June 11 will be an anniversary to remember. Thank you TypePad and welcome to all you readers who are new to the Garden. Look around, enjoy, contribute.
Thank you, Karin

Hi Karin,
More congratulations!
We're on the road and missed it yesterday, but both Alexis' comment and the TypePad folks got it right in describing your blogging as "from the heart" ... "personal, reflective, and thought-provoking" ... "interesting and beautifully written" ...
You're contributing something wonderful to a subject that needs it.
And someday a little girl will get to read the evidence of the hope, commitment, and love that brought her to you and Steve.
Happy to count you as a friend,
Tom
