No need to qualify your marketing perspective as being “the daughter of a marketing expert”… with a Drake degree and several years in the field, you are a marketing expert in your own right. 🙂 And, regarding the passed fad of Sudoku (which I never got), the girls and I recommend KenKen, which is much easier to understand and can be challenging for any level. There you go… now you’re right on the forefront of the next trend. Or, at least the next trend for elementary school students in Des Moines, Iowa. 🙂
I definitely want to learn these new fads! Cannot wait to see you soon — the girls are looking adorable on the NYC trip!
