Comments

I live in Redlands - well, Yuciapa now, but I used to live about 3 or 4 blocks from State St - I miss it! Small world!

-going back to lurking now! ;)

Hi! Redlands is such a cute town. There are several things I miss about it (like the citrus smell in the spring and the Redlands Bowl). We do love Idaho now though. Thanks for leaving a comment. It is fun to connect with moms all over and especially those that have a fun random thing in common with me:). I have two good friends living in Yuciapa now! In fact, they are two of the friends I said I email with—Heather and Sarah.
