    Thank you so much for including me in your favorite blog inspirations! Small world…I live in the Pittsburgh area…North Hills. And more than a few years back I was in the graphic design business.

    You will have to let me know the magazine cover you will be on so I can check it out. Sounds like fun. I am glad to hear there is some benefit to hanging out in the mall play area!

    Have a great day!
