Braden: The First Year

By LotusCarroll on | From abradenaday.blogspot.com

This is a photostream which represents important moments in Braden's first year that I was lucky enough to capture. (To see just a Month by Month Photostream, visit Braden: The First Year, by Month , at Sarcastic Mom .) There were, of course, many achievements for Braden that are not represented here, because they took me by surprise, as they should. There are quite a few pictures here... and I was being choosy! This by NO means represents all the cute and wonderful pictures we got of him...Read Full Story

Daddy vs. Mommy sales effect

By colleen on | From kidsworldwatch.blogspot.com

At the 2007 Youth Marketing Mega Event, two intriguing pieces of information made me crinkle my brow: 1.

The effect was to raise sales 300%--much higher than the 75% garnered by the teen message...Read Full Story

He was under...Read Full Story

His Birth Story

It is posted on my Myspace blog , but I thought it would be nice to move it here, as I think about the impending day. This post is incredibly long , as blogs go. If you're committed to reading it, you might want to get some popcorn. But please read it and prove to me that you really do love me. Braden's Birth Story It was nearing the middle of October...Read Full Story
