My extended family has started getting into the world of blogging! Some have been doing it forever, some are just starting, but no matter how far along they are into it…it’s just a nice way to keep up with their lives. Especially because I live 1500 miles away. In the olden days, I would have been completely cut off from any of their lives, so this is really great for me! I just found out that a couple of my cousins are expecting or have just had babies. My Aunt is opening a small business franchise of my MOST FAVORITE store in the world! How fun it is to be able to catch up on their lives as often as I can. In fact…there is supposed to be a huge cardboard cut out of me at a family swim party going on right now!! You took care of that, right Mel??
