Hello! I have a silly question. My childhood babysitter just adopted a 2.5 year old girl from India. This woman is amazing and I'm so happy this is finally happening. I looked up her registry online and everything had been bought. She lives in TX so I'll be mailing a gift and would prefer it not be huge in size. What things would you buy for her?

momololo, diapers, wipes, a snack basket/coffee giftcard for her since she will probably be on the run with a 2.5 year old!

So riddle me this:
DH and I are going away for a long weekend. We will be about 3 hours away from our house. His parents are slated to watch the kids. They called last night saying they want to take the kids to DH's hometown for a (last minute) anniversary party. They would be staying at DH's grandmother's house- they have visited a couple of times. DH's hometown is a 3 hour drive from our home but in the opposite direction. This means we would be 6 hours away.
We are conflicted. I'm worried about being 6 hours away and DH is worried about the potential for a car accident.
Would you do it? DH's parents said they are fine with whatever decision we make.

skinandbones, honestly? I probably wouldn't want them going. If I were home and not the already 3 hours away, MAYBE I would consider it, but not being 6 hours away for something that was last minute.

Maybe something not 100% specific to the little girl, like a zoo pass for them, or gift cards to restaurants? At 2.5 the little girl may already be potty trained, so I don't think I'd go that route. Clothing, if you know sizes? |

Storytime with the littles this morning, then midwife check up this afternoon. Baby hasn't been moving nearly as much in the past 36 hours, so I'm hoping to get some solid reassurance that everything is fine in there. I feel like a paranoid first time mom  |

Good luck with your check up mommabakes. I hope it gives you some peace of mind. |

mommabakes I hope story time goes well and your appointment gives you some reassurance. Hopefully the baby starts dancing at story time and you go into your appointment already feeling better

I slept long but not well. My back is still messed up so I'm thinking of getting a brace so that it will force me to squat down to get things rather than bend down. My friend is planning on coming over today with her son who is just a little older than w. Hopefully they have fun because W is being the grumpiest this morning.
We're going to make caterpillars today with egg cartons. Should be fun.

Ugh, I have a meeting with our accountant at work today at 10 and it's probably going to take HOURS. My main concern is when I am going to get to eat all my snacks.

skinandbones the 6 hrs away from me wouldn't bother me. And the grandparents could get in accident driving to the store, unless you mean you don't want them driving them anywhere period. I'd worry more about my kids being bored at an anniversary party.

Clothing, if you know sizes? Yeah I wasn't sure about the potty training thing. I know she's getting bombarded with phone calls and texts since she announced on Facebook so I was trying not to ask for additional details (like sizes, potty training status, etc). Thanks for all the ideas everyone! |

You know what makes me crazy. When people email and text me asking me to give them a call. Dude, you could have saved yourself 5 minutes if you just dialed my number yourself.

I have a coworker who emails me regularly asking, do you want to call so and so or should i? or can you email the below person back and let them know blah blah blah..... ummmm. in the time it took you to type that out, hit send, for it to travel to me, and for me to see it and actually open it - this could have already been handled. it drives me crazy. |

RunsforWineandCarbs, I am glad you are already on it and improving your health. You can do it! momololo, I like the zoo tickets or grocery store gift card ideas. They're small, mailable, and would get used for sure.
