As a child, I was a very picky eater (I have to say, I still am). When I wouldn’t eat dinner, my mom used to say, “I hope you have a daughter that is just as bad as you.” Well, what goes around comes around. My daughter Pudding Pop is an extremely picky eater (or [...]
Breaking her off the Binky
When you don’t have children, it’s easy to be a “drive-by parent”. My husband & I have 12 amazing nieces and nephews and it was fun to sit back and say; “we will never_____” – you can fill in the blank. We said it all. This parenting thing is going to be so EASY! Well [...]
Wondrous Wednesday #8
“I wonder… what babies dream about? Fun stroller rides, pulling the cat’s tail, strained peas?” This is a picture of Tamar Gerstein’s (Product Manager-Activity Centers) daughter “Boo” letting mom enjoy a little downtime. Every Wednesday we’ll be sharing a photo showing off a little bit of wonder in the lives of our extended Graco family [...]
Say no to organic-even if just for one night.
So much of what we write about and share with each other are the organic, wondrous moments (good and not-so-good) that naturally unfold in front of our eyes. Those always seem to be the most beautiful because they are rarely expected. Well last week, on Jagger’s 3rd birthday, I ordered up some artificial, oohey-goohey, sticky-sweet [...]
Not MY Child!
I got the dreaded call from daycare the other day. No- not the “your child has a fever so pick him up now and don’t come back tomorrow either” call. But the “your child bit someone” call. Yikes! I’ve been on the other end many times, but I always thought the biter obviously wasn’t well [...]
Small Wonders of the World
“There are no seven wonders of the world in the eyes of a child. There are seven million.” ~Walt Streightiff We have all been sweet, simple, innocent, and curious children ourselves at one point. We’ve all found a four-leaf clover in a sea of green…we have all seen a sunflower turn toward the sun…we have [...]
Wondrous Wednesday #7
I wonder… if Frosty’s in here somewhere… Proud Aunt, Gretchen Gourley (Stroller Product Team), submitted this picture of her nephew “Zip” enjoying his first snowfall. Every Wednesday we’ll be sharing a photo showing off a little bit of wonder in the lives of our extended Graco family of customers, employees and friends.
The End of an Era
According to my son, I can no longer handle the truth – or at least I’m not going to be getting it from him anymore! I am sad to say that I believe tonight was the end of an era- the era where my son told the truth- even when it was ugly. Me: “Did [...]
Dear Punxsutawney Phil…
… I would like to make a plea. Santa brought me the coolest playhouse ever and mom says it’s too cold to go outside and play with it. All day I stare out the window dreaming of the meals I could be serving up in my little house, of all the times I could be [...]
We’re Not in Kansas Anymore
Graco management thinks a little fresh (cold!) air helps kick-start new thinking… and it does! Thinking like, “what did I get myself into?!” We wanted to share some pictures of a recent Graco business meeting where some adventurous staffers decided to check dog-sledding off their list of things they have always wanted to do in life. They came [...]
