give away and more ...

We are soaking up Hazel Jane's sweetness. She is a doll and such a sweet blessing and addition to our family!! At home, Hazel is mostly content. Out and about this is not the case. She cries sooo hard while in her carseat! She can't seem to stand that thing! I have grocery shopped with her twice - both times I held her in one arm and tried to push the cart with the other! Oh my. She calms down in my arms, but once back in her carseat she begins to wail.
Today she has been content and when awake, very alert. I love how she studies our faces and gazes into our
eyes!

sound asleep, sweet baby girl

One of my favorite baby gadgets was the fresh food feeder. They weren't out until Becca came along, but she LOVED that thing! I'd love to win your cards, Michelle, but also a question - are you making any Christmas cards to sell? I am interested in about a dozen Christmas cards - can be all the same - for teacher gifts and such. I wasn't sure if you'd be doing that right now with Hazel, but figured it couldn't hurt to ask. :) Thanks!

Your little princess gets sweeter all the time, Michele! Hmm...it's been awhile since I've shopped for a baby, but I'd probably have to say Babies R Us is my favorite place to shop for them. So much to choose from! I'd love to be entered in your giveaway!

Oh Michele - Try putting Hazel in the car seat when you are at home inside. Maybe if she can see you and hear your voice she will get used to it. Just a thought. She is soo very precious. I love the pictures of you holding her. You so are radiant. Been a long time since I have done baby stuff but the one I see that looks so cool is the baby wipes that are kept warm. What a cool idea was that.

Good idea about trying the car seat at home. I loved the mesh little thing that had a handle and you could put food in. Abby ate strawberries, frozen yogurt, etc. at of that all the time. It makes it so they can eat big people food and not choke.
I love to shop at Bumblebees in Lynden. Your boys will love it there too.

Enter me in your give away girl! Oh my, favorite place to shop is Baby Gap or Gymboree, and my favorite baby item would have to be the boppy pillow. I couldn't live with out it! I not only use it for nursing but he also lays on it a lot while I am folding laundry or when we are all sitting on the couch watching TV, he feels part of the group that way ;)

Awww... I can't blame little Hazel for disliking the car seat. They look very uncomfortable! Well, since I don't have children, I am the world's worst at shopping for baby things. I tend to really like the merchandise at Target. It's not so overwhelming like the bigger baby stores and the things are just adorable!

Ed / Julie said...

Hi Michele - yes, if you could e-mail me photos and prices of cards, that'd be awesome! Do you have my e-mail?

Thanks for the fun giveaway! I don't have kids but I do love to shop for my niece and nephew and this past weekend I stocked up on Christmas present for them at Family Dollar. I got some really cute toys and clothes for them and it didn't break the bank!

I've been out of the baby business for a long time. I think there are new and improved products since my baby days. love baby gap tho

Beautiful cards- I'm thinking you are a good time manager with three kiddos and still making cards- good for you!
