Check it out!  I  made the Boston Globe  today.

And the front page of our local paper, the Wellesley Townsman.

Lots of pictures. The photographer loved the Cube Zoo fish. He was this gruff guy and he just couldn’t get enough of them.  It was so sweet.

What a totally fun experience. 

We packed everything up and put all the toys in the car last night.  I felt like I was packing for college, sending my little guys off into the world on their own.

    Excellent! It must give you such a buzz to be ‘famous’ and in the paper, and a mother and a woman… You should be proud of yourself & I can only say again, “Well Done!”
