With Special Thanks to…
If you’ve been following our blogs for any length of time, chances are you’ve already got the idea that we MommyWizards have been through our share of adventures. And now here we are at the winter holiday season, and ready to celebrate our usual Happy-Holi-Hanu-Kwanzaa-Mas time. Since we’re in a part of the world where sending or receiving physical presents is a logistical nightmare, this year I’m sending out mostly good wishes, and a heartfelt endorsement of the people and businesses who made our adventures possible. Please pass along the good cheer by giving these fine folks your custom–or at least paying them a visit–should you have an opportunity.
And ya know, over the past couple of years, we’ve surfed a lot of couches, cried on a lot of shoulders, and shared many laughs over cups of coffee. If you are someone who blessed us with your help and aren’t listed here, consider yourself well hugged by the three of us anyway.
