Confession time… I don’t scrapbook. I know it is the worst sin a mother can make except for leaving your kid in the car without climate control. Don’t write about me, Jay. HAHA!
I know that most of my friends either scrapbook or at least get the pictures into photo albums before the kids start school. […]
