I finally made some registries. I just was flabbergasted when people started asking where we were registered. I’m clearly a clod and didn’t know this is how things work. Well, some people aren’t raised by wolves and others find out the hard way or through experience. Just like my wedding taught me invaluable lessons about RSVPs, gifts, etc.
Why are registries difficult to create for me? Well, we aren’t really a “consuming” family but realize we have to get some stuff to take care of this kid. I’m trying to walk the fine line between getting some things that will make our lives easier and not just believing every thing I read/see. I mean the amount of stuff that exists today as a “necessary” item is a bit ridiculous! No offense to others of course, we just try to live fairly simply (other may say cheaply or inconveniently) and have a tiny house so it was difficult at first to choose things. We’ve been Craigslisting a lot of things and are accepting many kind donations from friends…so we have some of the big things covered, which is wonderful. I’ve taken the opportunity in creating our registries to learn about baby stuff, think about the many holes left in our nursery, and have a little fun shopping (hey the stuff can be cute!). Really we just appreciate the love and support that we see from our friends…thank you!
