A lot of them love family blogs because it keeps them up to date on those who they don't talk to everyday! And many times, if you say something that they really like, they will pass it on to their extended family & friends! It's a chain reaction!!!Berleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08545397768189922845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732255176396931795.post-9280658554374041602007-10-18T00:37:00.000-04:002007-10-18T00:37:00.000-04:00Another blogger mommy to SIX kids here!
