My Grandma Hollingsworth has helped us out tremendelously as we prepare for the baby. First things first,"she said "You need a dishwasher." So for Christmas, she bought Jason and I a dishwasher which will come in handy with all the baby bottles and accessories that will need sanitized.
We hate doing dishes!
Then, she decided she would buy him the crib and mattress. I got a great steal at Target on a crib that had been returned (yes it is safe and all the parts are there).
If any of you know my grandma, what does she say to do with any leftover money rather than return it to her? She says "get whatever else you need". Well, I used the term need a little loosely but...
who does not need a jacket with a cape?
baskets for the bottom of the closet to accumulate junk;)
of course a book on how to become a beloved owl!
I think it all turned out quite cute.
I cannot thank my Grandma enough. She is a strong woman. I talk about her constantly at therapy because I swear she would run any of those 20 year olds under the table. She is a little stubborn ( I get mine from her and my mom) but she would do anything for me or her family. I pray that whenever I am 80+ years old that I have 1/2 the life, spunk, generosity, and health that she does. Love you Grandma!
