Hushamok


THE HUSHAMOK

Well after an entire day of Lilly not sleeping more than 20 minutes at a time, I think maybe she is finally asleep and I can sit and write about our cool new find...
That was last night, obviously I got interrupted by my favorite little girl and by the time she finally went to sleep I did the same. So we are trying again...

There is this really cool baby boutique here in Vegas called Olive and Bean (you can find them online at oliveandbean.com) Mike and I went to shortly after Lilly was born. Prices are a little high but they have really cute stuff. The coolest thing they had was a baby hammock, for the stand and the hammock it was about 600$. (www.hushamok.com) We put that on the permanent waiting list.
I got a post from my "mom's website" about needing some extra help at the kids expo (another post for another day) this would include some heavy lifting and packing etc...20$ an hour. I signed Mike up. I went to pick up his pass and it happened to be at this store, with the really cool hammock. So I was looking around at all the really cute stuff and was talking to the owner and mentioned that my husband really really wanted a hammock. She then proceeded to tell me that she had one in the back that was "damaged" that we could have. I was shocked. I tried to offer her money but she said she wouldn't take it, that she couldn't sell it anyways, so I took it. There was a slight problem with the base, which Mike fixed in about 30 seconds with a screwdriver and a small tear in the fabric that I am not worried about.
I had to buy something after Alina gave me the hammock so I bought an outfit for Lilly and called Mike and told him that I had an impulse buy at the store. He asked if it was the hammock, I told him no, just an outfit. Needles to say he was pretty shocked when he got home and the hammock was sitting in it's box and was even more shocked when he found out I got it for FREE!


I love how she looks to be holding her blanket
