Our SECOND Fabulous Friday Freebie is a
$20 Gift Certificate OR Two Swaddling Wraps of Choice
from BabyBonkin.

This precious baby boutique was one of the first that I contacted about participating in our promotion. I have lots of new mommies of wee babies who read and I hoped they would love BabyBonkin as much as I do.
After nine months curled up in the warmth of mommy’s tummy, newborns thrive best wrapped and snuggled next to mommy’s heart. Designed and perfected by a grandmother at the request of her own daugher’s as new mothers, BabyBonkin has earned the reputation as the producer of one of the best Swaddling Wraps to comfort, soothe and settle your little bundle of joy! The soft cotton jersey knit wrap allows you to snugly swaddle baby in a light weight breathable material replicating the warmth and comfort of being in utero.
There is nothing in the world sweeter than a freshly bathed, baby in pajamas, swaddled and sleeping in your arms. BabyBonkin offers snugly baby wear of cotton and minky fabrics for your best bet at getting baby dearest to sleep through the night. Seriously, don’t you wish they came in YOUR size? Scrumptious!
(Me? Baby Fever? You think?)
Christening gowns, hats and dresses can also be purchased through their beautiful boutique. Taking advantage of the 10% off that BabyBonkin is offering this week only, you really should pamper your new baby…or new niece…or new grandson to a classic Swaddling Wrap. And treat the new mommy to a contented baby….the gift that keeps on giving!

Soccer Mom

Thursday, October 15, 2009
I love being a soccer mom
…and all that implies!
Driving a huge suburban
Toting water bottle, chairs, blankets, sweatshirts and snacks out to the park two nights a week
Watching outraged dads yell at the ref for a bad call
Finding myself ready to pummel the kid who kicked the ball at my sons face
Laughing at the calamity of 10 seven-year-olds clamoring for the ball

But mostly, I just love watching this boy.
I love seeing confidence gained by a pat on the back from his coach.
I love his adorable embarassed grin when the crowd cheers his name.
I love watching him watch a game he loves!
With Izzy, his biggest cheerleader by his side!
