I guess it is time to blog again. So I have been a bit preoccupied by other things lately. A few weeks ago I was picked to host a House Party. For those unaware, house parties are where companies basically send you a ton of free stuff and ask you to throw a party using it. I attended a Fisher Price one a bit ago and there were all the new toys for the kids to play with and we even got to take a toy home. It was great cause there is no pressure to buy anything. No sales pitch, no catalogues. Just free stuff. So when I saw there was going to be a Gerber party I signed up. About a week ago I was sent two HUGE packages full of free food and goodies. Friday morning I invited some friends with small children, babies, and those going to have more babies. (yeah, I didn't invite everyone. How could I? Do you know how many women in those categories I could have invited? The fire Marshall would have had to stop by. If you didn't get an invite, I am sorry. I just kinda picked randomly.)
The kiddos seemed to have have fun playing with all Max's toys. The ladies seemed to have a good time eating and chatting. My friend Tia, who is pregnant with her first, came and I hope we regaled her with good stories and info. Others have been sharing their scary stories with her.
After last week I think the best part of the party was that I did not stress about it. I decided that it was really no big deal and I didn't really need Jeff to texture and paint the dining room for one party. As funny as it sounds working hard not to stress actually made it more enjoyable.
So hooray for free stuff!
This picture was not actually mine, I was too lazy, (or not stressing,) to take a photo. But it does show a lot of the stuff we got.

I never would have tried that non-refridgerated baby yogurt stuff. Corbin totally loves it. Who knew? Yay for gerber. Thanks for hosting a fun playgroup. We had a good time, and I'm pretty sure I got my carbo load in with all the croissants I pounded.
and I totally get the pick and choose thing. It's impossible to have everyone over. I think there are enough people in our ward that everyone understands that. Imagine if Quincy invited all the sunbeams to her birthday party? Are you kidding me? There's like a zillion of them, it would be insane.
Ya for stress free party! It's the only fun sort. And I'm glad the fire marshal didn't have to come over and intervene. =)
Wow...that's crazy. I have never heard of Gerber party before. Good idea!
