Mamagrayhound Mugswap 2016

It's that time again!

Time for my annual Mugswap!

I love doing these swaps, especially right before fall! It's always nice to have a new mug to drink coffee, tea, or hot cocoa in!

If you have a Facebook, please pm me on facebook and let me know you'd like to be added to the event!

It will provide you with all you need to know about the swap, the link to join, and I've asked for you to create a wish list there!

If you DON'T have Facebook, or have no idea what a Mugswap is, here's some info for you!

Please use this link to signup for the swap via Elfster!

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A FACEBOOK AND CAN NOT JOIN THE EVENT PAGE ON FACEBOOK, PLEASE BE SURE TO CREATE A WISH LIST ON ELFSTER OF THINGS YOU LIKE. THIS WILL PROVODE THE PERSON WHO HAS YOUR BAME TO LEARN MORE ABOUT YOU AND ENSURE YOU GET A MUG YOU LIKE.

Things to remember:

1. You will not be paired with the person you are given. Elfster draws names at random.

2. You may choose if you would like to remain secret, or let your person know you have them.

3. Sign ups close Saturday, August 27. I will draw names same day, by 11pm EST. Once names have been drawn, Elfster will notify you via email who your name drawn is.

4. Mugs will need to be sent out NO LATER than September 30.

5. PLEASE ONLY SIGN UP IF YOU INTEND TO SEND A MUG!!!!!

6. You may send more than a mug if you'd like, that is up to you. All that is required for the swap is a mug ☺️

7. I would love to see your mugs when you receive them! Post them here in the group, and/or use the hashtag #mamagraysmugswap2016 on social media!

8. This swap is currently only US only. Sorry internationals!

9. I’m hosting this swap as a fun way for people to connect and have fun swapping a mug. However, I can’t be held responsible for others actions. I like to believe everyone will be fair and only sign up if they intend to swap a mug, but there is always an off chance that someone is dishonest

9. If you have any questions, feel free to DM me!

Happy shopping, and I hope you guys have fun!

Plans may Fail, but God doesn't

I have decided to not go in to much depth about the passing of Sadler, but I do want to write about it. Writing is very healing for me. The following blog speaks of infant death, please only read at your discretion. Sadler's tiny body reacted negatively to the surfactant that was administered to him to help with the maturity of his lungs. His vitals were stable, until he was given the first dose of those steroids. The first call to come down to the NICU was terrifying. What's even more terrifying is walking in to the nursing staff and the neonatologist reviving your child. Chest compressions and intubation. Stats dropping to a low, low. Loud noises from machines going off. Sitting there, unable to do anything as your child lays there helpless and lifeless. The hospital chaplain approaches and asks if we would like to pray, and of course being a family of faith we do. We cry, and we pray. We pray, and we cry. I text my best friend, Shannon, and asked that she...

UnSubscribe

It’s been almost 5 months. Yet I still haven’t been able to fully unsubscribe from all the junk emails from all the hideous baby crap. There is SO MUCH. “Buy one get one, one daily only @ Motherhood!” “25% off at Buy BUY baby” “8 weeks postpartum Lindsay” Mama Natural “Today’s the day! It’s Your due date” — enter in the name of of of the one million baby related websites there are these days. Every time, EVERY SINGLE TIME, I go to check my emails, another one squeezes it’s way in. And when that happens, another very-detailed, very sad memory of a moment has an open window. Letters in the mail. Social security cards. Insurance information. Accidental bills mailed to your address showing every procedure and every dime, and every detail of your dead sons expenses. Will it ever stop? Is there a button for “un-subscribe” for all these constant reminders that your baby is dead. Will my phone EVER forget to auto-correct the words Infant loss, N...
