Sometimes that may be a blessing in disguise. 🙂
I’d choose you!!! 🙂
That is such a great way to handle things though … good, good advice!
CC! Thanks so much for re-posting the link on my blog. My son LOVED it!!!!! I think we may be investing in that DVD for Christmas! 🙂
So simple and so true.
This is great – helpful in its simplicity. Thanks 🙂
