Slings!

As my little one has grown, I have found that different types of slings do the job ... well, differently. Now, I must note that all of the slings I own are hand-me-downs, and I think a few of them are the wrong size- which makes them impossible to use comfortably, but none-the-less, I love a sling. I really can see a use for just about every kind out there... and wouldn't I drool to try them all out!
I did find a site that has a lot of different kinds- and tells you how to choose the best type for your needs! So I thought I would pass it along!

Giving Thanks where it is due

Thanks God, for my family. Thanks God, for my friends. Thanks God, for my health. Thanks God, for my ability to do many things so easily- like walk to my mail box, call my mom on the phone, drive to the grocery store, go for a jog with my child in the stroller, and dog by my side...although that isn't "easy", it is possible, and my body is able, though not always willing...
Thank You God that you provide not only for my needs, but for the small stuff that just makes me smile. I am abundantly cared for, overwhelmingly loved, and amazingly blessed. Though I sometimes have moments where I feel stuck in feelings of inadequacy, left-out of the "cool kids" circle, alone in my feelings of being torn by motherhood and 21st centry womanhood, alone in having no family support nearby... God brings me back, lest I forget to praise Him for all the abundance I have been given.
Thanks God.
