I’m always on the lookout for different baby gifts because I always seem to know someone who is having a baby. Clothes can be adorable, but the kids grow out of them so quickly. Swings, strollers, and car seats are great gifts for those who can afford to give them. Unfortunately, they’re a little too pricey for the average person to give (and besides, I already spent all my money on the ones I had to buy for my kids).
For those of you who might be looking for unique baby gifts, Oneida has something different you might want to consider giving. Their baby flatware sets are among the cutest I’ve ever seen. I especially liked the Cubby Bear and Brahams sets. The customer reviews are very favorable and Oneida has a 100% satisfaction guarantee on its products. They’ve got a sale going on now until President’s Day, but if you miss it, don’t worry, because after the sale is over, you can still get 15% off when you use the coupon code BABY.

On Thursday, I got some really good news at work. I got a promotion! I was promoted to the supervisor of my department. Lots more work, but also better pay. It was totally unexpected, but such a welcome surprise. But I’m busier than I’ve ever been! Before the promotion, I could have conversations with my fellow workers, and eat a snack or two plus lunch. Now I’ve been so busy I barely make it to the lunch room. Forget a snack or a casual conversation. I’ve got people coming up to me all the time with questions, needing me to sign off on things, and make decisions. I remember when I first started, the person who occupied this position seemed to have all the answers to everything. Now, it’s like, I’m supposed to be the one with the answers. I hope I’ve got the right ones.
All I can say is that it’s been both rewarding and challenging at the same time. Lots to learn, lots to prioritize. Sort of like motherhood!
January 30th, 2010 If you read my last post about fighting my traffic ticket, you’ll be glad to know it’s official — I won! Ticket is dismissed, and my money is being sent back to me. Best of all, no traffic school and no points on my DMV record. I’m glad it’s over. How coincidental is it that [...]
January 21st, 2010 I haven’t been able to keep up with all the recalls lately, but I did hear of 2 recent ones today. One is for Graco Strollers, and the other is for Caramia cribs. For more information, visit my other blog www.childrensproductrecalls.com.
January 21st, 2010 Okay, it’s not official yet, but it looks like I’m going to get my traffic ticket dismissed. Ever since I sent in my Trial By Written Declaration form, I’ve been visiting the court’s web site daily to check the docket for any updates. I’ve even gone so far as to keep track of the progress [...]
January 11th, 2010 Going back to work full-time has required a bit of adjustment on all our parts. Whereas I used rush Felicity out the door each morning to get her to school on time, I find I am the one who is rushing out the door before she even leaves. Del has been getting the boys up early so they [...]
December 30th, 2009 Today is the second to the last day of 2009. A new year begins the day after tomorrow. Each year, I wonder how that year will differ from the last. Other than the kids being a year older and me being a year younger. This time around, I’m starting the year with a change. Last week I [...]
December 24th, 2009 To anyone who may be reading this, I wish you a truly wonderful holiday and a very Merry Christmas (and to some of you, Happy Hannukah)! As you can see, we took the kids to see Santa yesterday, and it appears, so did half of the other people in the country. We were in line for [...]
December 20th, 2009 I’m so close to taking a break I can almost feel it. I had completed all my work projects and was all set to enjoy the holidays, when — you guessed it — I got called for another project. I could hear Al Pacino’s voice in the back of my mind channeling my inner Michael [...]
December 10th, 2009 Today I became an aunt again. My brother, Ken, and his lovely wife, Kristy, are the proud parents of a brand new baby girl, Anna Charlotte. If only I wasn’t across the continent, so I could see her in person — although Ken’s done a good job getting lots of pictures of her. It’s Ken’s [...]
