Kindness & Baby Gear

"These items were packed with love"...the note enclosed in a package of baby goodies and Girl Scout cookies from my mother.
As of late we have collected a lot of baby gear from friends and family. We received a big package of love and baby items from the U.S. that my mother sent our way, including girl scout cookies. Nothing spells L-O-V-E like girl scout cookies from the U.S. (we are savoring every bite and no worries the thin mints are in the freezer waiting for our next bite!) We also received a bunch of baby gear (clothes, bottles, high chair, baby chair, breast pump, etc.) from some of our friends here in Jyväskylä who recently had babies. There is something incredible about the mama community where not only wisdom and advice is shared, but also baby clothes and other necessities. Thank you all, for your kindness.

It is understood that sharing MUST take place. Baby items overflowing in your home is nothing compared to the lack of sleep and JOY you have coming your way. Enjoy and relish.
