Okay, they’re actually two weeks old now, but this is the first chance I’ve had to write on the blog about them. A few weeks ago, I asked my facebook page readers if they were interested in a message board for the TFB community, and many said yes. So I asked my handy dandy web ninja StarryMom to hook us...
