Personalized Baby Gifts for Christmas

There are only 38 shopping days remaining until Christmas.  Have you bought the new baby in the family his or her first doll or stuffed bear for their first Christmas? These are great keepsakes sold by Baby Stuff Gifts for only $15. They both measure 10" high, are machine washable (great for getting that spit-up off!) and baby safe. 

I also like the diaper covers.  They come personalized, of course, and have many designs to choose from - heart, cherry, daisy, ladybug, bunny, butterfly, baby carriage, pink bow, and even a patriotic design for baby's bottom. 

Then there are personalized wall tiles for the nursery walls and plates (dishwasher and food safe) for when they start solids.  Personally, I think the plates are so cute, I would display them! 

To make shopping for personalized baby gifts even better, Baby Stuff Gifts will give you a 10% off coupon code on your entire order if you "like" their Facebook page.  I am all about a great deal being a coupon fiend myself.  So, go check out their Facebook page and "like" it and then head over to the Baby Stuff Gifts online store and shop all these sweet, personalized gifts that make you (ok, make me) all soft and mushy feeling over babies.

I just love babies.  Love them.  I'm still waiting for that urge to go away to stop wanting to have more of them.  My husband bought me a puppy thinking that would take care of the urge - silly boy.  I am going to go shop at Baby Stuff Gifts for the new babies in the family and think about sweet little baby hands, soft skin and the good baby smells.

24 Days Until Halloween

Halloween is this month!  Yippee!  From here until January, I just LOVE the holidays, however, I could do without the cold, snow and ice that comes along with them!

My kids have planned their costumes already (they've made lists).  My teenager has already made plans with the new boyfriend to walk around with him on Halloween and I usually dress up as well.  I get handed candy too because the adults think it's great that mom joins in.  Hey, I'll do anything for chocolate! 

The babies dressed up are especially fun to see.  They're so cute!  Makes me want to have another baby!  Not really.  I'm just writing that because I know it'll freak my sister out.

However, buying baby gifts is fun for me and I can do that for family and friends who have little ones, hold their babies, and then give them back when they cry.  I especially like personalized baby gifts!  Generic gifts - nah!  Personalized gifts - well of course!  If I buy now at Baby Stuff Gifts, I can get 10% off my order with code "October2011" during checkout!  Yippee!  You can too through October 9th - ends Sunday at Midnight!

Now to figure out what mom is going to dress up in for Halloween...time to go Internet window shopping!

Bickering Girls!!

It's been one of those frustrating afternoons with the kids.  The trip to the pediatrician for my daughter's sprained ankle resulted in a referral for physical therapy.  Not a huge surprise and that wasn't the problem.

The problem came when I took four kids into Wal-Mart with me.  My three girls bickered, bickered, bickered.  No bickering from my son (of course).  Not what I wanted to deal with when my allergies have been bad since I woke up (Claritin isn't working).  Why can't females get together without bickering? 

The highlight of my afternoon:  My 11-year-old son wanted to spend some of his birthday money while my teenage daughter needed a bra so he walked through the lingerie aisles with us with his eyes covered.  His five-year-old sister steered him through aisles every color and size bra until we were done.  He gets that embarrassed.

I ended up so frustrated with my girls that I didn't finish shopping.  I wanted to look around at baby gifts but decided to come home and look at personalized baby gifts online instead for a better selection of gift ideas without bickering kids.  The kids are all outside playing and I get some peace and quiet to finish shopping for baby stuff.  Between the bickering and my allergies, I could not get out of that store fast enough.  It will be a long time before I shop with all the girls at the same time again.
