My LaughterThoughts...: I've got a monkey on my back

Sometimes we get so caught up in the big things of life that we forget to take notice of the little ones. It's often these that make life beautiful, and these small details are the tidbits in my day that bring me joy and make me laugh. It is for that reason that I'm sharing with you my LaughterThoughts. I hope these little reflections of my life bring you much joy and laughter, too.

: Name: LaughterThoughts; Location: Zoo, United States

I'm a mom to seven blessings- 5 girls and 2 boys! Welcome to my zoo- my little monkeys keep me entertained with all they do and all they say. I have a non-stop long-term and often very tiring job taking care of my seven zoo babies- There is an incredible responsibility being Monkey Moma... it may not always be an easy job, but it's definitely a very rewarding one! I give much credit to my loving, supportive, and hard-working husband. I could not do the things I do without him. My husband and my kids are gifts from God, and for them I am truly grateful! "My beloved is radiant and ruddy, outstanding among ten thousand" -Song of Solomon 5:10; "Behold, children are a gift of the LORD. The fruit of the womb is a reward." -Psalm 127:3

I've got a monkey on my back

Well, five kids later... and, even then, not until Blessing #5 is nearly 16-months old...

I have my very own mei tai.

I've never been able to bring myself to spend the money (plus s&h!) on one... So, last night I made one! After some internet research, a quick trip to Joann fabrics, $10.48 in material purchase (hooray for 40%-off sales!), and several hours of measuring, cutting, pinning, and sewing, I can now wear my little monkey on my back!

Castle Diaries said...: Beautiful job!! Don't you just love that style of carrier-I know that #3 still loves hers! I gave making one quite a few thoughts even downloaded a free pattern, but then found a SAHM mom on eBay who made one for me! :); 5/16/2007 4:45 PM
Lesley said...: That is simply gorg! I used a sling for both my babies and a baby trend backpack, I think the mei tai is probaby a lot easier on your body than the baby trend was. I'm so impressed!; 5/17/2007 1:13 PM

Looks like he likes it too. :); 5/19/2007 2:14 PM
