Karen’s Opinion

Mommy and Daughter Purses

If you are looking for a unique and well thought out gift, consider a mother daughter combination of bags. I made these bags from quilt quality fabric. They each have many pockets, sturdy handles and a button enclosure. The large bag is 14 inches wide and 8 inches tall and sells for $20. The small bag is 10 inches wide and 8 inches tall and is priced at $15.00. Shipping is additional at $3.00 for both bags. Let me know if you wish to purchase one or both and I will get them sent out right away.

Celebrating Babies

Oh my. I am sitting here in tears from watching Jon and Kate Plus 8. Tonight’s show was finally the one where they renewed their wedding vows. After nine years and eight kids later, Jon & Kate Gosselin renewed their wedding vows in a romantic, chaotic ceremony. The kids were so cute and Hawaii is simply beautiful. Some of their relatives had never met them before and were just getting to know their children. It was an awesome show.

Speaking of wonderful experiences, several of my kid’s friends are starting families. It is so sweet to see them with their new babies as they settle in to lives that include children. It is awesome when we can acknowledge their excitement and joy with a gift. I can still remember when our children were born and know how new parents gifts are always appreciated!

Due Maternity makes it easy to give quality, Made in the USA gifts to all those new parents. I can remember all those endless diapers and sleepless nights. Giving a gift brings a ray of sunshine into a trying and joyful time. What would be a more appropriate gift than a cd filled with dreamland music by Pink Floyd?! This will be a first Christmas for many new parents and Due Maternity is helping all the grandparents save money by using the free shipping code, “BLOG1″, when they check out. Grandparents have been known to go a little crazy at Due Maternity!
