  1. Thank you for your comments on the blog. I am so sorry for the loss of your little girl Maya. We will check out your blogs and we would be happy to add them to the links here. If there is ever a post you would like to post here also, please let us know.

    I would also recommend checking out the Dear Finley blog and joining their blog hop - this is another great way of sharing blogs. You can find them here: http://dear-finley.blogspot.co.uk/
