What is the best thing that's happened to you today?
For me, it was the fun I had with my youngest - when we both loved the
same material (and got for a great price at Home Fabrics) to recover our dining chairs.
I enjoy her so much!
It gets stranger! A different friend took me to a For Your Pleasure party, last night. The consultant (?) lives a few miles from my house. What an interesting business you have!

Hi! I'm on the Moms in the Arts group, too. I am a dancer, but I've also been very involved in theatre (non-professional) my whole life. Just thought I'd welcome you to twittermoms!
