"I recently won the gift certificate to Snap n Snip Photo session. It was great timing because my little boy needed a haircut so he and I took pictures and plan on giving them to my husband for Valentine’s Day – we dressed in red, white and black and I have to say, they turned out pretty cute!

"I wanted to compliment you on what a great start you are off to.  When my children were a few years younger, and I stayed at home with them, I started and had a similar site called Memphis Mothers Network, and remember what hard work it was to keep the site current and looking good.  I am no longer at home, and no longer in Memphis, so the site is now gone, but while I was able to maintain it, it had a lot of traffic, and was very rewarding.  Keep up the great work.  Your site will really be an asset to the community. - Kristen Kohli"
