Never be without a spare baby blanket!
Kathy, our wonderful customer liaison, shared this story with me based on a call she took recently. We always joke that you can never have too many Mini Cuddle baby blankets on hand and this story proves that point!
“A woman called last week, rather frantic with a crying baby in the back ground, asking if she could place an order over the phone. When I said yes and asked if there was a reason why she didn’t want to order from the website she replied, “I’m in the car and wanted to make sure you had these in stock as I need one asap!” Apparently her child had just lost his Mini Cuddle in the grocery store parking lot and was beside himself without it! She was preparing herself for a long night ahead as her son didn’t like to be without his blankie. Never wanting to be in that position again she was placing an order for the replacement baby blanket along with a “back up!”
Fun Valentine’s Day Fact #1: Wearing Your Heart on Your Sleeve
In the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who would be their Valentine. They would wear this name pinned onto their sleeves for one week for everyone to see. This was the origin of the expression “to wear your heart on your sleeve.”
Can you imagine doing that now?!! What is the most unique way in which you’ve asked someone to be your Valentine?
Thanks to SheKows for this fun factoid!

Thoughts on Christmas Eve
I just returned from Christmas Eve service at a beautiful mountain chapel here in Colorado. For whatever reason Christmas Eve brings out a lot of emotion for me, and this year was made even more poignant by a special guest at the service. Two years ago the pastor introduced us to a local Marine just back from a tour in Iraq. This year, the Marine was welcomed back under very different circumstances. In the course of a deployment to Afghanistan he suffered grievous injuries from an IED and lost both his legs. During a very difficult recovery this past year he made a commitment to walk into the chapel this Christmas Eve…and he did…to a standing ovation from all of us there. What a demonstration of the spirit of the season and a heartfelt expression of the triumph of the human spirit over adversity. This Christmas Eve I give thanks for all the gifts and joys of my life, and I also give thanks for the service of this young man and the lessons we can learn from his perseverance and heart.
