MacGyver Baby
My kiddo is about to hit the three month mark and is in desperate need of some visual stimulation crib-side. I thought I was going to make a mobile for him but I found these that are just as good as anything I could do and a great way to support independent artists and moms!
Really people just want to know you care so spending a little extra time as opposed to a little extra money can go a long way.
So you just had a baby and everyone on the west side has given you a present. The last thing you want to be doing is writing thank you cards into carpal tunnel hell or spending a significant amount of money on thank you presents. Most gift givers are understanding of the new mother condition and are satisfied with a generic thank you or nothing at all. Never one to disappoint Ann Landers while simultaneously bowing to the pressure of the few gift givers who do expect (or deserve) something special in return I need to come up with a few choice thank you tokens beyond the birth announcement and thank you cards left over from my wedding.
Sometimes I can be surprisingly cheap. Well when it comes to mattresses I am willing to spend hundreds, but pay $5 for a binky tether which is a glorified piece of ribbon with a clip on it, this will not stand!
