This has nothing to do with the post, but I have a quick question. Were you at JoAnn's in Holland today? I have never met you, but follow your blog and I swear I saw you there today.
I sound like a total stalker (I swear I'm not). If it was you, you held the door open for me and my son who was in a stoller on your way out and we were headed in.
If it happened to be you, that is so ironic that I recognize you from the picture. If not, there was someone there who looked identical to you :)
Shoot me an email and let me know :)
