You ask, "What's a Srumplet?"
It's a baby of course!
Bloggers are uniting to celebrate the soon-to-be arrival of
Alison's son, Scrumplet.
You ask, "Why?"
You've heard of baby showers, right? Well, Alison, at Mama Wants This, is a fabulous blogger with
thoughtful blogging friends-- Stasha, Ado, and Erica. Where else would bloggers have a baby shower but
in a blogging link-up?
In lieu of real-life gifts, Stasha has requested we
"pin something down" on Pinterest; Ado has asked for a favorite baby
photo and quote about motherhood; and Erica is providing us with that good ol'
baby shower game of guessing Scrumplet's due date, birth weight, and length.

I don't know how I could have taken care of a new born and toddler without my BabyBjorn! I had Antonia in that thing all the time. Not just when going out, but also when doing things around the house like laundry, dishes, playing with her toddler-big-sister, and walking on the treadmill (I think that is viewed as unsafe, but I'm no expert).

“Sometimes when you pick up your child you can feel the map of your own bones beneath your hands, or smell the scent of your skin in the nape of his neck. This is the most extraordinary thing about motherhood - finding a piece of yourself separate and apart that all the same you could not live without.”
― Jodi Picoult, Perfect Match
