I jumped on the paranoia bandwagon and decided to eliminate my last name from my blog. Most of the people who read this blog already know my last name, and I figured all the other strangers out there probably don't need to ☻ If you have me on your list with our last name, if you would kindly change it to either "Barbie" or "Our Bit of Earth", I'd appreciate it!
Now onto why I chose this name...
So many of you have clever blog names and I was slightly envious. I couldn't think of anything really. Then I thought of it! I read The Secret Garden with my students every year. It's such a great book about love and growth and discipline. About how even the most unruly people and gardens can blossom and become beautiful with careful pruning and tending. In the book, Mary asks Mr. Craven, "Might I have a bit of earth?". He was confused by the question so she goes on to explain, " To plant seeds in--to make things grow--to see them come alive." So there you have it. This will be "Our Bit of Earth". A place where I'll show you my little seeds growing and coming alive. I'm sure I'll have some growth too.
Deep, I know ♥ Hey, I've read the book about 20 times in the last 7 years, I know it pretty well.

I really like your new name! It's super creative!
I love it!! And I'm not sure when you changed your blog, but it looks awesome- those PICTURES of your new family of 4- soooo sweet. Love the name- fits you for so many reasons, one of them being your own beautiful garden!
What paranoia? Should I be worried about this too?
Cute name and cute new header (I still need you to help me with that someday)! FYI your last name still comes up on my google reader...not sure if this matters to you or not...I'm sure there is some way that you can change it?
Changed it on my sidebar. I am part of the paranoid club for sure. That is why I am private. I might be taking it a bit far, but oh well!
I changed it on my sidebar as soon as you posted about it but forgot to come and comment. Your new look and name is really cute!
