Today’s post was going to be about how happy I was to see this…..
… pictures of some of the projects Frugal Family Fun Blog has helped to inspire from around the world. I was going to write about how much joy it gives me (and Emily) to see children from Turkey, Poland, China, Australia, Hungry, and Italy (to name a few!) all creating wonderful works of art!
But this morning I received a phone call because my father is very, very, very sick. He is currently hospitalized. We will be away from this space for awhile, but please send lots of powerful prayers, good thoughts, and positive energy his way. And thank you for understanding. We hope to be back to our normal happy blogging selves shortly.
