I got lots of interesting entries for my Closet Stories post last Saturday, but the one that captured my heart the most was this one from Raising Mustard Seeds. Here’s a bit of it:
…There were many nights where I was at my wits end because the baby just wouldn’t stop crying. We finally figured out the only way to get her to sleep in the crib was to wrap my mum’s blue cardigan around her, so that she would think she was still being held by my mum. It worked like a charm.
Congrats! You are my VIP winner. And thanks to everyone who shared the contents of their closets with us!

Awww, sweet story. Congrats, Raising Mustard Seeds!
Thanks for the honour Owlhaven. I’ll admit that it was strangely therapeutic typing it out while crying. 🙂
