‘you know I’m bound … I’m bound to thank you for it’

July 15th, 2011

For all of the emails, facebook messages, texts and in-person mentions, thank you. So many of you have stopped by the Co-Op to see the display – family, friends, clients, colleagues – all of you. And I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you. It means a ton to me that I [...]

 

For all of the emails, facebook messages, texts and in-person mentions, thank you. So many of you have stopped by the Co-Op to see the display – family, friends, clients, colleagues – all of you. And I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you. It means a ton to me that I saw so many of you at the First Friday Reception and knowing that a bunch more have taken time out of their day to stop by & see the display in person over at the Co-Op these past few weeks. It will be up for about two more weeks, so feel free to stop by if you haven’t already.

We also got yet another meal dropped off with us last week, which was a huge blessing in disguise (thank you, Katy).

We are truly so very blessed.

I want to thank you
For so many gifts
You gave with love and tenderness
I want to thank you

I want to thank you
For your generosity
The love and the honesty
That you gave me

I want to thank you
Show my gratitude
My love and my respect for you
I want to thank you

Kung Fu Panda in Overdrive, Perhaps

In true sneak-attack fashion, he lurks, he waits … until just the right moment when the camera comes out … 3 votes aaaah yes, I have many frames that look much like that these days. It must be a boy thing.

The best of the best. Baby gear in 2011.

I think anytime you have more than one kiddo, especially if there is any spacing what-so-ever, you become more & more amazed with how quickly gadgets change, things improve & you think, ‘how did I live without this before now?!’ So why not a quick little post on some new favorites? Without a doubt we [...]

 

I think anytime you have more than one kiddo, especially if there is any spacing what-so-ever, you become more & more amazed with how quickly gadgets change, things improve & you think, ‘how did I live without this before now?!’ So why not a quick little post on some new favorites? :)

Without a doubt we love the SwaddleMe wraps. With.Out.A.Doubt. Three+ years ago, those did not exist. We were still living in the dark ages of swaddling … on. our. own. gulp. ;) These literally take out the guesswork. (Although in the hospital we still had the regular blankets & daddy was Swaddle King.)

Twins = a boppy for each. Just a given. You don’t need two of everything – but this is a must.

MealBaby. A gift from my friend. Such a wonderful way to have meals set up for you, without you having to manage anything. (They just need to add ‘delivery times’ to the calendar.) Such a cool concept.

Snap n’ Go Stroller. The life of the party! I’m telling ya, those of us who haven’t had kids in a few years drooooool over this one. It’s SO EASY. And so convenient! You can’t beat those qualities in a stroller! And yes, they have them for twins. (& triplets too, confirmed by the lady at the counter who has 3 triples of her own.)

We also happen to really love our Moby Wraps. We got ours locally through Blueberry Baby. When I was there they had quite a few colors to choose from & the employee that was working that day also has twins, which made it even more fun to chat about the pluses of wraps, slings & carriers with multiples.

Of course the BEST thing about  baby gear in 2011 … is having a big kid 5yo helper ;) I’d highly recommend one of those too.
