Q: How is this blog like Johnny Depp?

A: Johnny Depp and this blog share a birthday.

Blog This Mom! is four today. Mr. Depp is forty-seven, but found time away from his private Caribbean island to come by to celebrate.

(The Captain Jack photo was plundered from Google Images and mercilessly ravaged to suit the self-serving purposes of Blog This Mom!)
