Jumpin-Beans

Are you like me and starting your Christmas shopping now, or are you waiting a bit before jumping in? I like to start early so that I can be finished early... One, so that I can enjoy it... But two, it makes it easier being finished before the boys get here! Growing up, I can remember my mom (and grandmother at times) giving me a Christmas Ornament as one of my gifts... I loved it then, but I appreciate it so much more now... You might wonder WHY give a child an ornament...  Let me tell you MY standpoint on it... For starters, it filled our tree up with memories through the years as to why that particular ornament was given... But more than that... When I moved out on my own, it was a way for my mom to pass my childhood on to me.  You see, she gave me the ornaments for me to put on MY first tree.   I am now trying to do that for the boys...  That way, whenever they have their own first tree, be it when they move out or get married or whatever ...

I tried to breastfeed... It did not work for us. I would nurse and nurse and nurse... and Broxton would still be starving. When I pumped, it was a guess as to how much would be there... Sometimes I could only get 2 ounces... Others it was 8 or 10. After a few months I had to give it up... BUT For those of you who do breastfeed, or plan to breastfeed, or need a great gift... Uddercovers is having a GREAT DEAL right now! It is breastfeeding week, so for right now, you can get one of their uddercovers for FREE! All you pay is shipping and handling... That is a $32 value! OR You can get their gift set for only $5. Just enter the code: Breastfeeding Head on over to check it out. It is totally legit, I actually ordered one the last time they ran this deal... You know, for WHENEVER we have another baby! :) (NO mom, you can relax - not pregnant!)
