Hack Me
I’m not a mobile person. (That sounds funny. I’m quite mobile actually. I even run on a regular basis. I’m just not a mobile person. They always seem so noisy - and maybe a little tacky.)
A few weeks ago, though, I found a solution. I ordered this mobile as recommended by the ever-awesome Cool Mom Picks. I didn’t order any cards (I was hoping to win them from CMP, but didn’t) because I plan to use my own flash cards. Being a grade one teacher, I have an unending supply - alphabet, animals, sign language… I’m totally excited to get it hung, but I’m not looking forward to putting a hook in the ceiling for it. Does anyone know of a hack to hang it from the side of the crib like a ‘real’ mobile?

Remember craft day with my baby group? I forgot to show you the results! (You’re probably not surprised…)

Remind me if I forget to tell you why I had a mini-heart attack on Saturday night, courtesy of my brother. Otherwise known as ‘he who needs a kick in the ass.’

Hey - you should really go check out my friend Laverne and her best friend Shirley who are new to the blogging world. Funny stuff!

Is this Pink for October a little more tolerable with the orange? I tried to change the orange, but only the sidebar changed and it was even more hideous, so this is the best I can do in a pinch. My challenge for you? Every time you come here, tell one more person to do a breast self exam! Have you done yours yet this month?
Happy Sunday!

Cool mobile! Maybe hit a second hand store and get one for cheap? For the attachment?
Cool craft day result! Very Rylan!

The pink looks good on you! I’m off to tell someone to do a breast exam (and while I’m at it, I’ll tell myself too!)

mobile/mobile don’t you love the problems that arise through oddities in language? You had me chuckling.

Candid Housewife - Thanks! I just ordered the mobile part and am clipping my own cards to it. Easy! But you know how I love to give tips, so anything you need - just ask!
Michelle - I’m working on a post now…
MotR - Good for you!
Michelle - I had myself chuckling too. It doesn’t take much.

I love the flash card mobile! And you could even put photos on it.

I have a similar thingy hanging in my living room, only it’s got tons of pictures of Finn clinging to the clips! I love it! They sell the mobile’s in many shapes and sizes in the funky shops around here. You could do tons of things with them really… my brain is spinning!
