I celebrate Hallmark holidays.

Well, not all of them…I only celebrate the ones my husband remembers.

In order for me to get a decent number (let’s say five) of gifts per year, I need to have about 20 or so available Hallmark holidays so he can forget a large chunk of them and I still end up with my five-ish gifts throughout the year.

So when I heard about push presents (the gift you get for shooting a baby out of your cha-cha) I was all, “I’m in!!”

Most women get jewelry, and I think that’s great for them. I have two preschoolers – when am I going to put on a swanky dress and go to the symphony downtown? Not for a while, my friend. That’s why I have chosen for my push present….a chair!

Because this chair (the only chairs we have in the living room right now are inherited wingback chairs that aren’t all that comfy) will allow me to feed the baby and relax with the baby and basically live in the friggin’ chair.

I’ve learned now that I’m on number three, that the most important thing in the universe for the mother of a new baby (this mother, anyway) is someplace to hang out with said baby when it needs to be cuddled, changed, or fed. Changed will be taken care of with the swanky matching ottoman.

Now…here’s hoping he doesn’t forget to buy the chair. Sigh.
