The very wonderful blogger…miss Sunshine Scribe (go check her out please…you won’t be sorry…I’ll wait) has a regular Friday theme called Flashback Fridays.

Hi Gorgeouses! I've had the longest day evah! The monkey has a little cough, so I decided to keep her at home all day -- which means I had to entertain her all the live-long day....

But it's my birthing day (thanks, Amber, for the apt description!), and I'm seizing the opportunity - … [Read more...]
