Love Letters to your Baby

I LOVE my Book Club. We have quite an eclectic group of gals with significantly different views on just about everything. One of the things I love most about my Book Club (other than getting a night out of the house) is the fact that I end up reading books I'd normally never pick up. The Book Club also encourages me to read, period.

After one novel we read, I felt inspired to begin my own musings. I didn't feel like I had much to write about at the time, so, I began a "Dear Diary" but directed the content to, and about, my little guy. I envisioned presenting him with a little album of these Love Letters on a particularly special day - like his wedding, or the birth of his own child.

I thought this idea was completely original....until I stumbled across an author who wrote a book about it.

I haven't read this book, but didn't want to take any credit for my original idea (even though it was original to me!).

Finding time to write isn't always easy, but taking a moment to be grateful is.

Did you know....?

Being a kid in the '70s, we watched a LOT of really strange TV shows on Saturday mornings. Weird and wacky stuff such as H.R. PufnStuf, Wonderbug (a dune buggy that captured crooks like the K.I.T.T. car in Knight Rider) and the Hilarious House of Frightenstein.

Did you know that the 'Hilarious House of Frightenstein' - with the Count, the Wolfman, Harvey Wallbanger and Vincent Price - was actually filmed in Hamilton ON?

Another little tidbit of Canadiana - 'You Can't Do That on Television' was filmed in Ottawa and Alanis Morrisette was a cast member for 5 episodes? In 1981, Nickelodeon began airing 'You Can't Do That on Television' and obtained very high ratings.

Not specifically related to Canada, but a new terms has emerged as the "new" name for Gift Bags....SWAG.

Did you know that SWAG is the acronym for Stuff We All Get?!

The first 100 families who buy Diaper Disco tickets, will receive a fabulous SWAG BAG including a copy of Canadian Family and a deeelish soap from Suzanne Graham for You (plus LOTS more!).

Who thought Gift Bags were only for kids?
