I got Gabe's baltic amber necklace in the mail today! I'm very excited :) The color isn't as extreme as I thought it would be, and the beads are smaller than I thought they would be, but I'm still very pleased with it and hoping it helps with Gabe's teething when his next teeth come in.
I also got my soap nuts sample, and the nuts smell weird to me, but I'm excited to try them and order more if I like them :)
I also got my Seven Sling. I am not as pleased with this. The last one I ordered was a size 4 and barely fit around my shoulder and under my boobs by itself. But the idiot that I am forgot to exchange it within the right timeframe, so I couldn't get a bigger size. I decided to try again, and went up 3 sizes (to a 7) and now it's a little too big. It works, and I'm not sure if I'm going to get a smaller size because with my luck that will be too small. So I'm hoping when Gabe gets bigger, it will work a little better. And hopefully in the meantime I can find a ring sling at a thrift store. I really want a ring sling.
Now, my next package is 11 alvababy diapers and a wetbag. Hopefully that will be here soon, because I'm looking forward to that the most!
Yay for amber necklaces! And fluff mail is the best. Post pics when you get the fluff! :)

What are soap nuts?
Sounds awesome. I'll check it out!

They're a dried fruit that release soapin, which is a natural cleaning agent. It's a natural laundry detergent. If you go to the Hazelaid website it has a really good description/explanation (:

What are soap nuts?
If you haven't found a ring sling yet, they are SUPER EASY to make if you have access to a sewing machine. Go online to "Maya Wrap" and they have the plans right there on their website. I found the correct size ring (nice and heavy-duty) at Lowe's.

seven slings SUCK, non adjustable slings generally suck IMHO
YAY for cloth diapers and teething necklace
