I have got stacks and stacks of photos that one of these days I will put together into a scrapbook (or 10) for each of my kids. Hopefully this will occur sometime before their 18th birthday!
As it stands right now, my son’s “First 5 Years” book is full - dutifully filled out and complete with […]
In an effort to show that it is in touch with the social networking that today’s tweens and teens are using, Girl Scouts of America has set up a MySpace page for it’s ever popular cookie. Yep, the cookie has its own MySpace page - complete with a blog, a poll of your favorite cookies, […]
