This past week was a happy mail week for me: I got two packages in the mail. One was quite small: a Sansa Clip mp3 player. I've never had a mp3 player before (or a walkman or any other portable music device) so this is quite fun for me. I chose this one because it was tiny, inexpensive ($35 with free shipping), and had a view screen to select songs. I bought it primarily to listen to my
Hypnobabies scripts, but it also picks up FM radio. I love listening to NPR when I go on walks now.
The other package was large and soft: a wine red
Mamaponcho. I received some unexpected (but very much appreciated) graduation money from my parents and grandparents, just enough to buy a Mamaponcho, which I have wanted for years and years. It's made of pure wool and can be worn with the baby on the front or back. I am soooo excited to use it!

Please take photos of you and Zari and #2 in the poncho. It is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm jealous of the poncho! I've been wanting one of those too...maybe next winter for me?
ReplyDeleteI love my sansa clip--I listen to books while doing chores.
ReplyDeleteI love my MP3 player, both for Hypnobabies and for other things. Books on tapes, talks, etc.
ReplyDeleteThe poncho is beautiful!
I do love the poncho. Now I want one. :-) Its the first I've heard of it.
ReplyDeleteThat poncho is gorgeous! I totally want one (not gonna happen...)
ReplyDeleteoooo that's beautiful. that would have been great to have instead of hugging a blanket to baby and worrying his feet and legs were getting cold.
ReplyDeleteThose are so cool, Rixa!
ReplyDeleteI want a mammaponcho too! I've never heard of them before. It's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteoooh, I had my eye on that poncho for years! But alas... I will just admire you in yours! :)
ReplyDeleteI love that poncho! But, yikes! I couldn't believe the cost when I did the conversion to US dollars. Makes me wish I knew how to knit.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's really pricey, which is why I have admired it for years and never bought one. I actually found the best price via a Canadian store; with the current exchange rate it turned out to be less than any of the U.S. sellers that carry the Mamaponcho.
ReplyDeleteThat poncho is so cool! I didn't even know they existed. I would have loved one with my last baby.
ReplyDeleteOK, I looooooooooooove that poncho!! I have to put that on my wishlist for the next baby.
