Friends and family, I have created this blog as a place to post stuff that happens in everyday life. Such items may include reviews of places I take my family like movies and restaurants. And even other events that happen in the Collins family's lives. I will only send posts to this blog to my closest friends and family. And like my other blogs, if you'd rather not receive updates, please let me know!
