THE QUESTION.
........................................................................... 
electrical storms are going to wipe out the internet (perhaps forever). you have one day left to write about your passions: what do you want to say to the blogosphere in 300 words or less?

MY ANSWER.
........................................................................... 
i know for the babes is probably the last blog yer reading right now.  good thing, because i can tell you where to get all the great stuff for you and any kid you know before it all ends. its good that im here, because these items are things that you wouldn't know about if it wasn't for the internet!  too bad these electrical storms are taking that away from us!   aggghhh... i better write quick!


1. make sure you have tons of paper, because without the internet, email, and the web, you will be wanting to share all your experiences on paper.


i found this cute stationery from MABELS LABELS that will be perfect for your tot to write the aunts, uncles, grandparents, bff's! 

2. ok. now you want to make sure you label everything before the lights go out!  these handy labels will make it easier to find what you are looking for!





3.  ok, for real.  this storm is getting out of control.  not only the lights are out, but the wind is picking up big time. i thought that maybe you could get these adorable lables also by MABELS LABELS to sew in yer tots clothes, in case their jacket or shirt, or whatever gets blown away! 

 

Im running out of time...my pictures aren't coming through anymore...all I am getting is white noooooise. im signing off now...see you in the future!

if you don't know about this company, you should. its a company started up by some local guys in Atlanta that can save you a lot of money.

the story goes ... "back in the day (not too many days ago), people knew us as SKYBLOX. created to connect local atlanta businesses to their  customers, SKYBLOX became pretty tapped into the local scene. and SCOUTMOB evolved from there. SKYBLOX is still your source for local WI-FI, but now we hope to give atlanta even more reasons to get out there and enjoy connecting to our fair city."

 

you can also get an IPHONE APP so you can get your deals fast. right now these guys are only in atlanta, but contact them if you are not in atlanta and let them know where you would like to see SCOUTMOB.  don't miss out on the deals!  they are awesome and you might even find out about a place you didn't know about!
