Fake Blog Entries: Part One! šŸŒ·

hello! iā€™m actually going to skip two years with miss scout. i think itā€™ll be more fun and interesting for me to write about, so scout will now be three years old and not one!


woah! it has been a while since i last posted here, iā€™ve really missed it!

miss scout over the last two years




and now here we areā€¦iā€™m nineteen (twenty tomorrow), reuben so twenty (twenty one in august) and we have our darling three year old miss scout. though things have changed a little, as within the next few weeks weā€™re adding another member to our family. we know the sex though weā€™re not planning to reveal until birth, any guesses?

thatā€™s all from me! iā€™m looking forward to be back here and iā€™m exited to get to know all of you again.

Not much of a post from me today, still waiting on my first child to-be, which Iā€™m super excited! Iā€™m still enjoying my nurse career though I know maternity leave will be sooner than I know it! :blush: Not too much is going on with the family, weā€™re just chilling out the summer! [name_f]My[/name_f] older sister [name_f]Michele[/name_f] is considering [name_f]Baby[/name_f] #2 though her last pregnancy test was a negative. I sense sheā€™ll have a positive test soon, since sheā€™s really been hoping for at least 2 kiddos! :two_hearts: ā€“ [name_f]Tamara[/name_f]


@melia22 [name_f]Hope[/name_f] you had an amazing 20th birthday [name_f]Emilia[/name_f]! Iā€™m pregnant too, though Iā€™ve chosen not to find out mine yet. Iā€™m terrible with gender guesses, probably a boy? Flipped a coin on that haha. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you still live at your beach apartment? Whatā€™s your place like now? OOC: Is [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] born in [name_m]August[/name_m] or [name_f]September[/name_f]? Your intro post said he had a birthday in [name_f]September[/name_f] unless that was a typo and its retconned to [name_m]August[/name_m]. Either way, happy early birthday [name_m]Reuben[/name_m]!

@machery [name_f]Perdita[/name_f] looks so fab! How does she feel with back to school? Ironically my niece [name_f]Zella[/name_f] feels so much has changed, and she only had kindergarten graduation. We keep telling her moving up isnā€™t that hard at her age but, ya know! I actually have good memories of myself in middle school, but juggling homework was quite the hassle! Also as a fellow single mother (to be, in my case), respect! You deserve all the credit for parenting and I hope to carry that when I raise my child.

@oakbelle Your kiddos seem so cute! I loved Tullyā€™s party, you did a great job making it about her! [name_f]My[/name_f] nieces and nephews were having an enjoyable time! [name_f]Hope[/name_f] [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] had a happy time! Howā€™s [name_f]Romilly[/name_f] doing in school? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you get along well with Lylaā€™s family? Wishing your family well!

@kiomkio [name_f]Happy[/name_f] belated birthday to [name_m]Gus[/name_m]! Aww he seems so nice! [name_f]Love[/name_f] his interests ā€“ does he have a fave planet? Who are his fave [name_m]Toy[/name_m] [name_f]Story[/name_f] and Wall-E characters? [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] sounds sweet too, I love that sheā€™s girly but also really smart, Iā€™ve been that way as a little girl! [name_m]Rufus[/name_m] is such a mischievous cutie, happy belated bday to him as well; just turned two and already fitting that age role quite well ahaha! [name_f]Hope[/name_f] you and [name_m]Will[/name_m] are doing great too!

@whynot [name_m]Welcome[/name_m] [name_f]Lucia[/name_f]! You and [name_f]Maya[/name_f] seem like awesome mothers! [name_f]Aster[/name_f] and [name_f]Nim[/name_f] are such cute names and I adore their middles as well! [name_m]Sweden[/name_m] is so beautiful and fascinating! I love how the kids are raised bilingual and close with a mixed culture, it makes me happy! Nice pictures as well, your kiddos definitely seem smart and adventurous with where life takes them! How is the playgroup? Sounds cute and fun!

Hello, itā€™s been a while since I posted, so I thought I would get back on here. I have been really bored with [name_f]Cami[/name_f] and the new baby so iā€™m starting a new family!


Hi!! [name_f]My[/name_f] name is [name_m]Charlie[/name_m] and I have and a dog!

[name_f]My[/name_f] oldest is [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] who is 12, [name_f]Clara[/name_f] is the best big sister ever, she is so kind and sweet to all her younger siblings. [name_f]Claire[/name_f] loves to read and cozy up, she is very introverted but once you get to know her she is outgoing-ish.

[name_f]My[/name_f] second is [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] [name_f]Bryn[/name_f] who is 10, Abs is my outgoing girl, [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] loves sports and is the popular girl at her school (according to her friends and siblings).

[name_f]My[/name_f] 3rd kiddo is [name_m]Finley[/name_m] [name_m]Isaac[/name_m], he is 7. [name_m]Finn[/name_m] is super sweet, he loves to skateborad, swim and help out.

[name_f]My[/name_f] second youngest is [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] (Nora), she is 4. [name_f]Nora[/name_f] still so little its hard to tell her personality but she is more on the quiet side until you give her sugar. [name_f]Nora[/name_f] is our silly kid at any time of the day!

Finally we are almost done!
[name_f]My[/name_f] youngest is [name_m]Ivan[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] who is 2, he is VERY sweet and kind, he loves nature already.

Thats all from me today, have a good week!

hey everyone! itā€™s been a while since ive posted with this family! im skipping ahead 2 years so I believe we are due for some new introductions!

my name is Ru, im the author of a [name_m]New[/name_m] [name_m]York[/name_m] Times bestselling fantasy trilogy, an editor at a publishing company in NYC, a mother of 4, and partner to an amazing human being, [name_m]Alex[/name_m]. they have been a stay-at-home parent since we adopted our first children, and have decided to return to work at an absolutely adorable little cafe/bookstore thatā€™s around the corner from our apartment.

together, we have 4 little hell-raisers ā€” I mean, children! our older three are adopted, and our youngest is biologically mine.


our oldest, [name_f]Ripley[/name_f] [name_f]Reign[/name_f], who turned 7 in [name_m]March[/name_m]! she will be going into second grade in the fall, at a Montessori school within walking distance of our apartment in [name_m]New[/name_m] [name_m]York[/name_m]. she loves all things architectureā€”her dream is to build castles in Europe, like the ones we visited in [name_f]Austria[/name_f] and [name_f]Germany[/name_f] this past summer. she is also a budding gymnast and is hoping to be able to compete this year.


next is our sweet, empathetic nature boy, [name_m]Cove[/name_m] [name_m]Kasper[/name_m]. he loves animals, especially turtles and peacocks, and wants to be a vet for exotic animals or a conservationist when he grows up. he turns 6 at the end of [name_f]September[/name_f], and will be in kindergarten this year at the same school as [name_f]Ripley[/name_f]!


Keeper [name_m]Jayce[/name_m] is our fun-loving, adventurous spirit! he has the biggest smile, the most infectious laugh, and an incredible sense of humor. he loves the beach and would spend every moment of his life there, if we would let him. itā€™s been amazing to watch his confidence grow! heā€™ll be 5 in [name_f]November[/name_f], and is going to be in transitional kindergarten this fall.


lastly, our youngest, [name_m]Quest[/name_m] [name_f]Harper[/name_f]. he is the first baby I carried myself, only for him to become a total Opieā€™s boy! he loves snuggles, tickles, and his stuffed rabbit, [name_f]Momo[/name_f]. he has a silly streak and loves to perform for us, especially when my partner is playing their guitar. we plan to get him one of his own for his birthday, which is in [name_f]January[/name_f]. he will be 3, which is wild!

we are hopefully not done yet, though! my partner is unable to get me pregnant so we are about to begin our next ttc journey, and I canā€™t wait for everyone to follow along.

@CherryBomb50 yes we do! we still live in the apartment block, just a new apartment with a third bedroom for baby. hehe iā€™m exited to tell you all, iā€™m super bad at secrets so this has been impressive. at least for me! his birthday is august 31st so i think i put september just for ease of mind!

@CharlotteLovesVolley welcome! nora is only a little older then my girl scout, if youā€™d be free for play dates weā€™d be happy!

@SparkleNinja18 welcome back ru! all your kiddos are sweet as always, good luck ttc sending baby dust your way :face_holding_back_tears::yellow_heart:


i had an awesome twentieth birthday! itā€™s strange not being a teen mum anymore, as for the last three years thatā€™s all iā€™ve been. but we didnā€™t do anything big for my birthday, my friend recently had her birthday party and we used her balloons which they offered us. then i just spent the day by the beach with my little family. just the usual day, which is pretty darn special.


we also went on a little walk which i loved! scout was a bit wet from the sea but she still had a great time in the woods playing, and telling us this is were the fairies live. we donā€™t take her all the time but everytime we do she has a very good time!

i guess thatā€™s all! iā€™m hoping that my next post could possibly be baby being here since iā€™m 38+3 weeks. scout was born at 39+1 so iā€™m hoping heā€™s here within the next week. all my fingers are crossed that their here soon!

sorry for the double post, but we have a very exiting announcement. our baby has been born! weā€™re all very exited that theyā€™re finally here, and scout is already so happy about her baby sibling.

baby was born on august 2nd, at 39+2. they weighed 8lbs 2oz and 21 inches long. i was in labour for seven hours, with an hour of pushing before he was born. though originally i thought i wanted to try as minimal education as possible, though i ended up getting an epidural which i was grateful for later on!

we had decided not to share the gender, though reuben and i knew. a lot of reubenā€™s family thought we were having a girl, i was carrying high as you would a girl as well as was extremely nauseous throughout the entire pregnancy. my family thought we were having a little boy, i was raised by my mother and she had three daughters and a son. she thought since she had so many girls, iā€™d probably have a boy. she was right! because we welcomed our little boy three days ago!

iā€™d be delighted for you all to meetā€¦ozzy malachi jack :ocean::shell: :coral:

we chose his name, seeing as iā€™ve always love the name ozzy. we tried to find a longer name which we enjoyed as much as just ozzy. we love the chilled out, happy feeling it gives us. is also massively makes us think of the beach, which we do live right by. i also love the way ozzy and scout or scout and ozzy sound together!

for middle names weā€™ve always preferred more classic middle names i case our children decide to go by them when theyā€™re older. scoutā€™s middle names are josephine claire, and we wanted something similar. my brothers name is malachi, and iā€™ve always loved it and been jealous. two years ago when my niece was born, they gave her ā€˜emiliaā€™ as her middle name so it felt like a return of the favour. we chose jack as itā€™s reubenā€™s middle name and he wanted to carry it on!

@melia22 omg congratulations! ozzy has such a handsome name!

hi everyone, it has been a while! there hasnā€™t been much going on here so i hope everyone is well!

our girl romy turned seven on the third! i canā€™t believe how quickly these last seven years have gone. romilly is the sweetest, bubbliest most confident girl i know and she is so loved by everyone around her. she is the best big sister to bambi and tallulah who absolutely adore her. i honestly canā€™t imagine life without our gorgeous girl. happy birthday romilly violet!


romy bear :teddy_bear:

we got her a new surfboard for her birthday and even though it is freezing in the water at the moment, she has been out on it every single day. the local older kids that she sees when she is out surfing with her dad all call her ā€˜romy grommieā€™ which is too cute! she absolutely loves it.


we have been trying to grow more produce on our farm recently to use in our cooking! the girls have been loving helping me cook everything and they have all (bambs especially) been eating so much better!


lula with some of the bread we made last week

yesterday i took the little ones down to the beach at sunset as they had both been begging me to go all day. bambi is sometimes an absolute pain to say the least, but these little moments just make everything worth it! she absolutely loves being a big sister and tallulah absolutely adores her :love_letter:

anyway, that is all for now! i hope everyone has had a lovely weekend and has an even better week :love_letter: :rainbow: :lemon:

Hello all you lovely people!

Iā€™ve been reading these blogs for a while, and now that weā€™ve moved to town, I felt this would be a great time to start my own!


For starters, my name is [name_f]Cat[/name_f], and my husband [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] and I have four lovely kiddos! [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] is a real estate agent, and I am a flute teacher, with a studio in our home.

Our oldest is our daughter [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]. She is 15 years old, and the best big sister ever. She has the biggest and most beautiful heart, and is such a wonderful person. She inherited the flute playing genes from me, and also loves drawing and dance.

[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]


Our second is our son [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_m]Michael[/name_m]. He is 13 years old and our familyā€™s resident genius. He is very thoughtful, can devour books in minutes and, knows every random fact off the top of his head. Besides reading, he enjoys singing and biking.

[name_m]Thomas[/name_m]


stuff4

Our third is our daughter [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]. She just turned 12 years old but already has the attitude of a teenager! Sheā€™s sassy, silly, spunky, and everything in between. In addition to soccer, her biggest love, she also loves horseback riding and dance.

[name_f]Anna[/name_f]



her refusing to smile for a picture lol

Finally, our baby (not really) is our son [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] [name_m]James[/name_m]. He is 10 years old and is the most playful kid youā€™ll ever meet. He loves being with people, and was literally friends with his entire school last year! He adores having playdates, swimming, and running around outside!

[name_m]Benji[/name_m]



[name_m]Benji[/name_m] with big brother [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] on a hiking trip last year!

Weā€™re really looking to get to know people in our new home, so if anyone wants to stop by, feel free! We have our own pool, so weā€™d be more than happy to host a pool party!

~ [name_m]Daniel[/name_m], [name_f]Cat[/name_f], [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], [name_f]Anna[/name_f], & [name_m]Benji[/name_m]

indieā€™s second birthday is coming up soon, and sheā€™s really grown up in the last year. sheā€™s become a very empathetic little girl always showing all the love to her teddy bears, oh yeah and sometimes me! indieā€™s favourite colour is lilac and her favourite animals are dolphins!

the last (almost) two years of indie!






iā€™d also like to invite you all to indieā€™s second birthday!

@CattheBat13579 i donā€™t know if your kids are too old but weā€™d love to come around! if your children would be interested in babysitting that would be lovely?

@oakbelle they are completely adorable! happy late birthday to romy!

@CattheBat13579 & @melia22 welcome! both of your families sound absolutely gorgeous! just a quick introduction from me; my name is claudia and my husband jack and i met eleven years ago when we were sixteen! we live in the country by the beach and have three gorgeous girls. romilly violet is my eldest, she has just turned seven! bambi dorothea is my four year old firecracker and tallulah valerie is my recently three year old! canā€™t wait to get to know both of you better!


i hope everyone is having a lovely week!

we took a trip over the weekend to my sisterā€™s house which is about four hours away. we were only planning on staying three nights, but we are still here after five and leaving in the morning! roms has missed a bit of school, but nothing too bad and bambi and lula have only missed two days of kindy, which they are both loving!

my sister ally and her husband max have three little ones too! her eldest is eight and is called nora lily. nora and romy get along amazingly and she is the best big cousin! jack nicholas is their five year old, who is like bambi in a boy, except maybe slightly more controlled! their youngest is elsie june who is eighteen months old the sweetest little bub!

nora, jack + elsie!

the kids all get along so well which is so sweet to see. the girls were all pretty good on the drive up here too! they are used to them though as we are about three hours from all of their grandparents and a lot of family and then my sister, like i said, is four hours away and my brother-in-law is eight hours from ours! romy read so many books in the car which is just amazing! we have a little bookworm on our hands! for the last half and hour she wanted to watch a show so i let her watch something on my phone!

romy bug šŸŒˆ


i also have some very exciting news! i was going to wait to post this separately but i canā€™t wait any longer!!

i'm pregnant!

we have known for a bit, but told my sister on this trip (we told our families when we stopped by their areaā€™s on the way up here!) so the next natural step was to tell you guys! (and our friends of course!) we are beyond excited to add another little baby to our clan!

i hope everyone has a great rest of the week! :rainbow: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: :lemon:

Oh my goodness, I have to introduce my family!

Firstly, my oldest, my son [name_m]Kieran[/name_m] [name_m]Shawn[/name_m], who has just turned 12 yesterday! He recently started 6th grade! He takes after me, heā€™s very quiet and enjoys reading about everything history.

Secondly, my daughter [name_f]Lena[/name_f] [name_f]Lilibet[/name_f], whoā€™s 9 and extremely bubbly. Sheā€™s in the 3rd grade. She loves everything pink and everything spooky. She can be a handful with her messy art, but itā€™s all in good fun.

Third, my daughter [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f], or [name_f]Allie[/name_f], whoā€™s 6 and just started first grade. Sheā€™s wise beyond her years and loves making new friends. Sheā€™s always so concerned with making sure everyone is happy. She loves rainbows and bugs, especially moths.

Fourth, Allieā€™s twin sister, [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Siobhan[/name_f], or [name_f]Elsie[/name_f]. [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] is quite a bit more spunky than her twin sister! However, they share a love for bugs. [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] loves to try to scare her older sister [name_f]Lena[/name_f] with spiders, but it never phases her.

Lastly, my youngest daughter, [name_f]Judy[/name_f] [name_f]Madelyn[/name_f], whoā€™s 3 and extremely vocal. She already loves trying to sing along with every song in the car. Sheā€™s such a bundle of joy!

Oh, and I couldnā€™t forget that Iā€™m expecting another daughter next month. Poor [name_m]Kieran[/name_m], stuck as the only son! And our pets! We have two cats, [name_m]Rocco[/name_m] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]. And, since yesterday was Kieranā€™s birthday, and heā€™s been begging for a dogā€¦

[name_m]Kieran[/name_m] got a puppy yesterday! He didnā€™t want a huge party, so he had his cousin [name_f]Mysti[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f] over and the two had a blast with the puppy. Heā€™s decided to name it [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] after the dog in his favorite show, Heartstopper. DH [name_m]Seamus[/name_m] and I love seeing him so happy!

@oakbelle hello! itā€™s lovely to meet you, would you like to come over to our place? maybe then we could get to know you guys better? indie has been obsessed with ā€˜big girlsā€™ recently! congrats on your pregnancy!

@Julie_NameNerd welcome! congrats! iā€™d love to get to know you better if your girls would like to come over for a play?

@larryisalittledog any updates on baby three?


hello lovely humans!

iā€™m currently soaking up the last days with indie before she turns two! where did all the time go? indieā€™s dad has her every other weekend, so heā€™s going to her today. though weā€™ve had such a lovely week!

we went clothes shopping for her yesterday, theo (her dad) also tagged along and we had a lot of fun. she loves trying on clothes and generally had an amazing time! she was more upset that we couldnā€™t get every single thing she tried on, but she loved this yellow dress so we definitely bought that!

we also went to play by the lake! though sheā€™s not quite old enough to go swimming in there, she had a great time and loved messing and playing around. iā€™m honestly surprised she stayed neat for so long, as the little tornado usually gets dirty within about thirty seconds of leaving the house!

we also had indieā€™s birthday lunch with theoā€™s family. theo invited me along and we all had a great time! she was so sweet and loving the entire time and i could not help it, but the sandles! indieā€™s grandma got them for her as an early birthday present and i could not help but put them in them. they are just so cute!

thatā€™s all from us! hope everyoneā€™s been having a good week!

itā€™s so exciting to see some new faces here! especially the new baby faces!


although the weather here wants us to think that summer is here to stay, weā€™ve been spending this week getting ready for the upcoming school year. I canā€™t believe that Iā€™ll have 4 kids in school this year :pleading_face: where did the time go?

[name_m]Quest[/name_m] and Keeper will be doing a half-day Montessori preschool, then spend the afternoon with my partner, who is going back to work part-time. [name_f]Ripley[/name_f] and [name_m]Cove[/name_m] will be at the same school but will be there all day.

everyone got to pick out their backpacks this week. Ripleyā€™s is London-themed, with Big [name_m]Ben[/name_m] and union jacks and [name_m]Buckingham[/name_m] palace guards. weā€™ve actually not been to [name_m]London[/name_m] but she liked the design more than the [name_m]Paris[/name_m] one we found, so I guess weā€™ll have to plan a trip to [name_m]London[/name_m] soon lol. Coveā€™s has sea creatures all over itā€”fitting, I know. his first ever backpack was shaped like a turtle and we picked it out because of his name, and itā€™s just become tradition that every new backpack follow the theme. Keeper chose a bag with stars and planets all over it because thatā€™s his new obsession, and he will talk the ear off of anyone who will listen about all the planets in the solar system. finally, [name_m]Quest[/name_m] picked out a bluey backpack, which was a surprise to no one as itā€™s his absolute favorite show (okay, itā€™s one of mine, too)

[name_f]Ripley[/name_f] has made a new friend within our apartment complex, a little girl named [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] who just moved in. [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] will be going to a different school in the fall but [name_f]Ripley[/name_f] has already planned when they can meet (around Ripleyā€™s gymnastics schedule, ofc) and sheā€™s trying to convince my partner and I to let the two of them have a sleepover.

lastly, an update to the ttc journey: we just completed our first round of clomid! well, I mean me because, as ive explained to my partner, im the one doing all the heavy lifting lol. my partner canā€™t get me pregnant so weā€™re using a sperm donor, and weā€™ve decided to use the same one that we used when I became pregnant with [name_m]Quest[/name_m]. so thereā€™s a good chance weā€™ll add another blondie to our bunch!

(I really am amazed at how much [name_m]Quest[/name_m] looks like his siblings, despite not being genetically related to themā€¦ people are always surprised when I tell them that the older three are adopted)

I feel pretty miserable but that could be due to all of the extra hormones in me right now. but fingers crossed that itā€™s because of a baby!

@em73 [name_f]Welcome[/name_f]! [name_f]Lena[/name_f] is pretty close in age to [name_f]Abigail[/name_f], if you are up for a playdate, let me know!
@CattheBat13579 Yes, [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] would love to meet [name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_m]Benji[/name_m]! What day and time works for you?
@oakbelle Congrats on the pregnancy!!!


[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! Wow, this week went by fast!
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] turned 13! She didnā€™t want a party, just a get togther with her bestie, [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f].


This is [name_f]Clara[/name_f] and [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] during their late night run to the mall


Of course I had to do a 13th birthday photo shoot!


[name_f]Clara[/name_f] and [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] have had this inside joke about sprinkle cakes, and they laugh every time they see one. So, naturally, [name_f]Clara[/name_f] had to have a sprinkle cake for her birthday!


The day after Claraā€™s birthday, we went on a boat trip with grandma and gramps. This pic is [name_f]Clara[/name_f] holding [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] up :laughing:


This is [name_f]Nora[/name_f] and [name_m]Finn[/name_m] looking out during the golden hours of the day.


[name_m]Dominic[/name_m] (yes I am changing his name) wasnā€™t much of a sailor!


Then, the morning after the boat trip, [name_f]Nora[/name_f] and [name_m]Finn[/name_m] decided to make up breakfast!

Thats all from us! ~ [name_m]Charlie[/name_m], [name_m]Matteo[/name_m], [name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Abigail[/name_f], [name_m]Finn[/name_m], [name_f]Nora[/name_f], [name_m]Dom[/name_m]

@CattheBat13579 That would be amazing! He has such a hard time making new friends sometimes. Heā€™s always been a bit of an outcast among the kids in his grade, so weā€™re hoping things end up better at this school.
@CharlotteLovesVolley lovely!! [name_f]Lena[/name_f] has been having a hard time with the move, Iā€™m sure sheā€™d love to meet someone here.

Of course! What date works for you guys?

[name_m]Thomas[/name_m] also has trouble making friends sometimes, heā€™s just so quiet and sensitive.

@CharlotteLovesVolley - What dates work for you? Iā€™d love to coordinate because [name_f]Lena[/name_f] sounds just like a younger version of [name_f]Anna[/name_f], and [name_f]Anna[/name_f] loves kids, so theyā€™d get on great!
