I have been unsure where to begin for the last hour, so I am just going to dive in with what is on my mind right now…I am so thrilled to have gotten so much positive feedback about our albums this year. I am humbled by such generous compliments from customers who are describing the albums using words such as ‘intuitive’, ‘fun’ and ‘beautiful’.

I have been asked many times if I will be creating albums with specific topics for adoptive parents, single parents and same sex parents. After reviewing some existing albums I realize that there really is a need.

Mass media continues to target hands-on heterosexual dads. CBS News calls them "hip". Advertising Age says they're "modern".

They want to sell handbags to dads. I'll buy. Actually, I already have.
