The Tinks Are 1!
Today, my lovies have their first birthday. Who’d have thunk that a year could go so fast? And that it could feel as if they’re brand new and have always been here at the same time? Remember the start of the Tink Freaks club? Now those little beauties are healthy, happy and highly mobile. Happy…
