We would go to London, York, other towns in England; then take the train to Scotland (Edinburgh is my fav city); then fly to Dublin & tour Ireland.
here's hoping - Lesley"

Lesley P commented on Erica Diamond's blog post Casey Anthony: Not Guilty"I agree with completely with Baby Blogger.
I do think Casey's parents know the truth - and to live with their daughter & her actions, & without their granddaughter , will be a living hell.
So sad - and what a waste of tax dollars on all…"
Mama Alvina replied to Lesley P's discussion Back to School supplies - what do you do?"We homeschool but we do buy supplies during the summer before fall. I try to catch the back to school sales at Walmart, Staples, etc. I also enroll my children in the local library's summer reading program, they usually win a goodie…"
Keri Houchin replied to Lesley P's discussion Back to School supplies - what do you do?"For supplies I do what Mary T said above - stock up slowly with sales. Last year I spent about $10 on supplies for two elementary kids! Mine are pretty destructive with backpacks so we have to get new ones each year. I buy really cheap ones now but…"
Candy Tai replied to Lesley P's discussion Back to School supplies - what do you do?"I totally ALWAYS buy my school supplies during back to school season.

Whispering Peace replied to Lesley P's discussion Back to School supplies - what do you do?"Oops...hit send before I finished....

Whispering Peace replied to Lesley P's discussion Back to School supplies - what do you do?"Honestly, I would love the $40 option.

Also, it would…"

Lesley P's discussion was featuredBack to School supplies - what do you do?
I know, they are just out of school.. but I gotta ask..My DD11 finishes school next Thurs (late I know) & yesterday she came home with the school supply list for September (she'll start Grade 6 - public school).At our school, we are given an option to pay $40 & the school will get the supplies & bring to the kids on the 1st day back. Benefit is convenience for parents; bulk buy for school; & some school fundraising $ (but not sure how much). OR - they give us a list,…See More
