    thats a really good site Becky...just a bit pricey for me unfortunately. Would it be mean to get a board game or something like that for them to share?

    Sounds like a good idea - they'll get loads anyway....most of which will probably end up being given to someone else next birthday. :D

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
