thatsITmommy friends!
From all the comments, responses and inquiries, Cecy and I quickly learned that our readers spread way past the L.A. border. Some of you are from Ohio, MA, and NY. We decided to find friends who will represent all our glorious states. These friends will help find cool events in their town, review products and share some of their adventures with our readers.
