Great for looking for boogets in the dark, but I'm going yo pick up a set of the others because I didn't think about it blinding everyone when I do my nightly head count.
Oh and they are up in front of store with the christmas gift sets.
I would be lost without my head lamps. Best investment ever.

Headlamps - what a great idea! We actually have a bunch of these. We use them when we go camping to find the bathrooms in the wee hours without waking up all our neighbors with the flood light.

Headlamps rock! I started using one while camping too, don't camp anymore but use one almost everyday.

You have a great bunch of stuff gathered there. Probably more than you'll need but much better to be prepared & have it on hand just in case.

Babette is huge already, not sure how she's going to hang on until Jan. 11th!

I just realized that we already have most of this. We had our daughter at home and the mid wife had us get a bunch of stuff. Woohoo. I'm putting my wife on this list. Kidding time is fast approaching.
