A Few Things...

I think are just great.

I guess one thing I was not prepared for when I became a mom is how much new information I would seek. I find myself so interested in reading and finding and researching and becoming aware of different methods of feeding and parenting and taking care of Master Alexander. SO I thought I would share a few items that have really made my everyday life just great.

My dear friend Allie sent me this nursing cover. It is the best. I have used it everywhere from my car, to the airport, to my own living room. It is pretty and it is has the widest amount of fabric of all the ones I have ever seen. I even used it as a blanket on the airplane after I was finally able to get Alexander settled after three grueling hours of cluster feeding.

Another dear friend, Sejal, gave us this little toy. It is visually stimulating and is made of maple and non-toxic, water based paint. I never thought I would care what things went into my baby's mouth until I had a baby. I like knowing that this is safe and non-China.

Another venture I never thought I would try is making my own baby food. I had never even thought about making my child's food before and then one day I was reading my friend's blog and all the sudden it has become my new thing that I must do when Alexander is ready. SO I am signed up for a class in July on baby food preparation and I will continue to scour the internet for tips and such. SO in the meantime, I found these that will help me freeze the yummy goodness I create!
