I'm doing "A Day in the Life" scrapbooks of my 2 year old. I did them when my older daughter was 2 and they were a huge hit. She is 6 now and my grandmother told me she still looks at it at least once a week! My children...

I'm about thirty minutes away from you. I don't know of any other places that pick up so I donate to Big Brothers. I love that they come to my house and they gladly accept all donations - even teddy bears, which I was having trouble...

Check out the Matching Moms website. I made a lot of friends on there. I was 23 when I had my first so I know exactly what you mean about the age difference. Most of my friends are 7 to 10 years older than me but it works.

My daughter goes to a nut-free school. She takes sunflower or soy nut butter instead of peanut butter. Another idea is pasta salad. My daughter loves pasta mixed with veggies and cheese. She doesn't like dressing on it so I leave...

Thanks for sharing - how scary! I'll have to check our Thomas pieces.
