Blessing Boutique

Twelve weeks ago, our little daughter arrived to join the family. Oh we love her so! I am so often in awe of how she got here, and how her body grows and her self develops. It's totally amazing and I have very little power over the process. I watch in wonder. 

Yes, I tend and care for her and feed her and play with her and teach her, but so many people have cooked for me, supplying what I need to feed little m.b. ....and her mind and heart and body respond to the love we (and others!) pour in. How does that work??!

One of the ways we've been loved and supported in this has been through materials needed for a baby.

In a summer when I had no time to shop for anything, we were lent/given/gifted with almost EVERYTHING we needed...including clothes for a constantly changing Mama and baby! 

The idea for this post comes partially from my Dad, whose other name for Goodwill was "My Favorite Boutique".
