I Want One! (totally squealed in a mature voice... not the one I keep telling my children we don't use!)

My friend Rachel wrote a post about Amber Teething Necklaces on her blog over at Euphoria Maternity. I've never heard of them before, but the idea sounds really neat. I'm writing this in order to enter a contest to win one, and also to ask if you've ever heard of such a thing.

I like the idea of healing and soothing properties. It's fascinating to me that for thousands of years people have had alternative ways of dealing with many of the same issues and discomforts we have now. I wonder if they sleep trained their kids, 'cause I could sure use some advice there!

I wonder how my boy's daddy will feel about him wearing a necklace if we win? And also, will he drool more or less? 'Cause we have a perpetual puddle around here!

So, have you ever heard of/seen a teething necklace?

You Have Got to Read This!

So I follow a blog called BooMama, and this week she posted about holy letter closings. If my kids were not sleeping in the bed next to me, I would have been giggling hysterically. If you write letters, you have got to read this!

Needing Some Closure

Happy Birthday, Brenna Mae!
