Hi ladies,
Just thought I would start a "To Do" list of things that are a good idea to sort out before the birth, or before we get too big to do. Thought our powers combined could jog a few memories and avoid a few"OMG, I forgot to....." moments. Copy and add to list to make it easier to follow: Vaccinate the pets Rego and Warrant on car ------------- http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wyI1oWn/">
