Pregnancy and Newborn Magazine: The Sequel!

I opened my mailbox to find another Pregnancy and Newborn magazine yesterday. And for a second, I thought someone was trying to tell me something.

Canada, Oh Canada

He doesn't even seem to mind that I've fallen totally in love with Edward Cullen from the Twilight series that I read and finished over a four day span in Ohio. (No...

I'll be back next week with more wood working craziness but this week it's all about Bob Evans, Friendly's ice cream, and everything else I love from my childhood in Defiance, Ohio. Off to eat more beef sticks and real midwestern cheese...
