Four Fast Fun Things: News You Can Use Edition

1. If you've been following one of our favourite Sweetmamas, Tanis AKA Redneck Mommy, we have some great news! She has finally been granted adoption rights and recently brought home a new son. We congratulate the Redneck family on their new addition and wish them all the best. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.

2. With Wiarton Willy basically reminding Canadians that winter does indeed last until April, you may want to invest in some MimiTENS. They have launched an e-store since we first reviewed them, as well as a new design, "You Are My Sunshine" with proceeds going to charity.

3. In case you missed it, Canada's Top Baby Names of 2008 were released by our friends at BabyCenter.ca.
Girls:
1. Emma
2. Mikayla
3. Sarah

Boys:
1. Ethan
2. Aidan
3. Lucas

Nathaniel ranked #54 and Lucy #42 on the top 100, which I think is a good place to be. Not too many, but not so unique it makes you weird. But then again, I'm biased.

4. Don't get the whole Twitter thing yet? Check out this awesome video that explains it in plain English. (Erm, we're on Twitter BTW -- check us out!)
