You should start one! 

[Adaline'sMama]

I was thinking of this earlier today? How should it be done? Ive seen them before organized by edd and by the number of kids you have "baking # 2". I guess if you do it the first way, you can do them as they come in. The second way would require reformatting each time someone new joined.

[hildare]

ok... i want to do one and i did suggest it.  the only reason i didn't actually start it is that i have such a history of m/c and i didn't want to be responsible for updating if i ended up going out of the ddc...

BUT i will focus on the positive and if i do end up out of the ddc, then somebody can just copy/paste the info into a new thread and take over.  so i will close my eyes and jump:

on the other boards, the person who started it transfers info into the original 1st post.  (i think)

i'll update and post when i get the info into the first spot and i'll pm the mod to see if we can sticky it...

_________________________________________________________________
