Angela Ordonez,Retail Manager, Mother of 1
"Well, I must tell you, this book is absolutely amazing!! We were able to purchase a few signed copies and share them with other friends and family members. We had a blast last night looking for the cupcakes, ladybugs, and hearts. Although, the pumpkin patch at Nonesuch Farms was a tricky one :) I myself wear heels everyday to work and some of the funniest pictures I have of my daughter are of her wearing them. This book makes the perfect holiday gift! Great Work!"
