Kids Using Cameras

Michelle, disposables are great too. I'm glad your daughter had fun with the camera.

And Jeff, it is a nice reminder of that different POV. That's so cute that your daughter tells her animals to say cheese!

Libraries are great! At our libraries twice a year sale, you can fill an entire paper grocery sacks full of books for $5 a sack.

And we always have 40 or so books/movies/computer software checked out. I hate to think what that would cost otherwise!

Hi Valorie, I'd be glad to share some ideas. Thanks for the blog idea! I'll drop you a message when I post it.

You caught me - it's actually a CD. Although, my indie music friends assure me that vinyl is making a comeback.
