Busy Bags are my new favorite!

I'm really bad at this. Keeping up with writing on here. I thought to myself, "Haley sleeps for at least an hour each day...I can get something written in that time period, right?" 
While that is true, there really are not enough hours in the day to do what needs to be done. Let alone to do what I'd like to do! Some me time, right?

Well tonight I had a little "me" time. I had the pleasure of getting together with some awesome ladies; some I knew and some I got to meet. We did a busy bag exchange. If you aren't familiar with busy bags, let me enlighten you. Because seriously, you NEED to be enlightened on this subject. Busy bags are, well, bags filled with fun, quiet activities for kids to do. Emphasis on quiet. The idea is that they have something to do without disturbing others around them (church, Dr.'s office, car rides). My friend Lori arranged it. We each focused on one theme(motor skills, matching, numbers, colors, letters) and provided a busy bag for each lady in attendance. So by making 11 of the same busy bag, then trading, we each made it home with 11 different bags of fun for our littles! Haley is a little small for some of them, but she'll grow into them. And now I have something for my older nephews and some other friends to do while they are here. My house will no longer be boring for kids older than 1! So thank you ladies, for all your sacrifice and time. Thank you Lori, for arranging this and hosting! I don't have any picture yet of these amazing bags, but I'll be sure to get some of Haley using them.
