"Thanks so much for sharing the Moving Activity Journal with us. We think it's awesome. Even after our move, my daughter gets hers out every so often and adds more to it. I thought that was a great testimony to its appeal! It really is a neat thing for kids to have to do while a move is happening. And, I think it will be really cool for them to look back on. It's just a great idea all around!" Joanna V., Mother of 2, Stillwater, Minnesota |
