The Yellow List, Episode One
This week’s List post is the YELLOW list, a collection of facts about one of my childhood. This week’s theme, however, was harder to come up with. Favorite childhood books? Movies? Music? Games? Those will, at some point, probably make an appearance. But today’s theme is: Best Birthday Parties!…
