I'm famous...
About a year ago I responded to a request in the local paper for suggestions to keep kids clutter under control. I sent in some ideas and was contacted by the paper who sent out a reporter to do a story. It turned out the reporter was an old friend of mine from Mesa Community College. We had been on the college newspaper, The Legend, together. I was the copy editor and she was a feature reporter. We had a nice reunion. She lives not 10 minutes from my house. Anyway, the story was featured on the front page of the Arizona Living section of the AZ Republic and had the CUTEST picture of Zach with it. It covered half the page. The cool thing now is I recently "Googled" myself and found that the story has been sold as an AP Wire piece to a ton of other websites for parenting tips and other cities' online newspapers. At last count it was on 7 other websites, beside the one I'm linking for you below. And some of them have different pictures with the article. I wish I could get copies of all the pictures they took that day. Zach was being his cute self....although in hindsight I wish I had dressed him better. Honestly, I thought they'd take a picture of the system we used. I totally forgot all my journalism training of having the human factor in a photo. Oh well, enjoy the article. I'll hopefully be worming my way into another newspaper article soon! ha-ha http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/arizonaliving/articles/0513toys0514.html
