A Really Useful Baby Gift!
So we have recently had a second child (yes another boy), and so many people have given us delightful gifts. I have been shocked at how much the “baby world” has changed since our first was born. When we went back to one of those huge baby stores I hardly recognized anything. There were so many new designs, fads, and ideas, that we felt almost as overwhelmed as we did the first time around. One item that stuck out, and that we were given by several people were Angel Dears, a lovely cuddly friend that our son keeps hugging, loving, and grabbing. We love them so much we are happy we were given two!

“Tasty Baby” for Babes (and Moms) with Taste
Yes, when we had a baby we tried to make our own baby food. But honestly, working full-time and trying to prep all the little containers of food ended up driving me crazy. I know there are tons of moms out there able to juggle more balls than me, but I just could never quite get down the routine of boiling the veggies, pureeing them, and storing them.
So I usually resorted to the good ole’ Gerber for help. But I am happy to pass on that help is now here! In the freezer section of many health food stores has arrived “Tasty Baby” which is organic baby food, already prepped, frozen, and ready to use. Yes, it tastes good too, and saves a few precious minutes that a parent with a newborn needs. So, for us moms that just quite can’t get that food processor going, thank you Tasty Baby for doing it for us!
A Special Set of ABC Blocks
Last month our son’s Godmother was visiting from Australia. She has a one year old and we wanted to send a special toy home for him. After asking his mother what she would want for him, she said “a really good set of alphabet blocks.” Seeing that we are on a budget and trying not to buy too many products made in China, I went on one of my “researching sprees” to look for alphabet blocks made in the USA. I am pleased to say that she took home for her son a set of Uncle Goose ABC Blocks in a Canvas Bag. These blocks are produced in the good old USA out of non-toxic materials and sustainable basswood by Lindewood in Michigan. They are quite reasonable for the quality of item, and they are like a good old-fashioned toy, but they are even better because of the way (and place) they are produced.
