Hi,
I'll admit I'm a little behind with filling in my sons baby book as he is now 13 months. I have gone on-line and looked all over trying ti find relevant info.
I am trying to fill in the page that tells about world topics and events of his birth month/year Sept 2005.
I still need:
1. Current Hit songs
2. Current Hit movies
3. Current Hit TV shows
4. Books on the Best Seller List
5. Fashion Trends (kinda tough since pretty much anything goes these days lol)
6. Big items in the news (already have the hurricane)
And also for the period from 9/2005-9/2006 Biggest world events of the year.
I soooo appriciate any help or directions to a website that may have all this info in on one site.
Thanks :)
