Me: “Maddy, did you write your list to Santa yet?” (Yes, she still believes in Santa and we’ve worked very hard to keep this going but that’s for a different post!) Maddy: “Yup, I want an iPad and if he doesn’t bring me that then I want an iPod Touch.” Me: “I think you… [Read More]
App Review: Brush of Truth
