domestic reflections: Gifts For the Babes.

Gifts For the Babes.

December 1, 2009

Hi there, remember me? I've been a bit delinquent with blog posting of late. I'm busy, yes, but truth be told I haven't had much non-baby stuff to share and my dear hubby pointed out I need to do something besides post pictures of the kids. He's got a point. :)

So, in an effort to Step Away From the Baby Photos, I will share a link to cousin Casey's awesome gift guide she's putting together all this week. I may have even shared some of my ideas for great baby gifts. (OK, I see this post is still baby-related. I'm trying. Really.)

I second what Katie said. Just post whatever pops in your head, it is all good stuff as far as I am concerned.
Cheers

I need a guide of more things to buy for baby like I need... well you know, a hole in le head.

But it's an excellent list. Is it wrong to buy things for baby before baby is born?

Re: the wreath. This might warrant a trip up to Solana Beach! Or just call Solo and have them mail it down the freeway. I can send you a full picture if you want to see what it looks like. But it's was only like $30 so not much risk involved.

I couldn't find it online anywhere, but it's by Roost. Maybe you will have better luck.

Who doesn't love a good baby picture? Write what you know, and if it's all baby, bring it. It's fun to talk about our offspring.

I love:
Rainy days, moody music, warm drinks, picking fruit from a tree, turquoise water, baking, sharing meals with friends, most everything “old world,” simple, rustic, smart, funny, really hot baths, feeling connected, being pregnant, finding the perfect gift, smelling the tops of my kids’ heads, cacti + succulents, citrus, California light, guest houses, stinky cheeses, everything my grandmother baked, hearing my kids laugh, small world connections, smiles between strangers, snuggling, reading cookbooks, modern, Mediterranean, walks in the forest, being near the ocean, everything about the desert, gold, jeans, Lillet Blanc, natural childbirth, the beginning of a new season, snail mail, hearing someone’s story, people who reveal themselves…

"your children are not your children,
they are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself.
they come through you but are not from you,
and though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
you may give them your love but not your thoughts,
for they have their own thoughts.
you may house their bodies but not their souls,
for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
you may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
for life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday."

-james michener
