i know, i've been a bad forum mother for the past six-ish months, but isn't eight years old the age at which your kid can be left home alone without the neighbors calling you a bad parent?
(now that we live in the bay area, cupcakes are out and pear frangipane tarts are in.)
at any rate, even though the forum has steadily slowed down over the past few years, i think it's pretty impressive that it's still as active as it is, after eight years! thanks to all that have helped to keep the forum active (and civil), and a super special thanks this year to the mods/admins who've been picking up my slack since august!
