Favorite items patchwork quilt
Does anyone know of a place that can make a nice blanket/quilt out of existing clothing. The idea is to be able to use pieces of various of your child's favorite outfits to patch together a blanket and then have his/her name and b-day stitched in the center of the blanket. Anyone that has leads/contacts, please contact Nicole Nahmias at nnahmias at hotmail.com. I know I have seen this before, but do not have any leads. Thanks!

SOMEBODY'S ALWAYS HUNGRY
A collection of motherhood essays detailing one mom's life from the children's birth to age five years old. Not the orderly, glossy parenting magazine style of parenting, but what it really feels like. How life slams from sixty m.p.h. to zero in those five to six pushes during labor, and for the next five years (and counting) raising your babies. You are going to watch as two tiny people slowly dismantle one mom's old life (and accomplishments) with tiny imperceptible fingers, building her an entirely new life she didn't know she needed, made often out of Cool Whip. But it's okay. Because her heart also goes from one-person-sized to big enough to save a nation. http://www.somebodysalwayshungry.com/
