We both looked forward to it all day long, I love how I can feel pressure to make it fun and make a really cool memory with her (or any of them on these dates), but then when we get out on our own, it&#8217;s all <a href="http://www.blessmybirth.com/2011/10/26/yesterday/"> read more <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a>]]></description>

Us moms organize some type of craft or activity to do while we&#8217;re together and this last week we decided to make a strand of Tibetan prayer flags in prayer for the people suffering in Japan.
