Registry! It’s a lot of effort to go back and buy everything I want on the registry with the gift card

If you are buying online you have to enter a card in anyway…🥴

Gift card because there are 100 things you don’t know you need until after baby is born. And when it’s 4am and you’re buying 3 different swaddle in desperate hopes for baby to sleep, a gift card is great. Or when you find out baby hates the bottles you bought, gift card saves the day.

If they have a registry it’s for a reason! Use it or cash.

I called my mom “mama” growing up. Some kids called their mom “ma” or “mommy.” lol

Registry, I have found gift cards so hard to use online

Some online baby registries have the option to give gift cards too. You might not have to choose between the two options, LOL.

Hi all, if you’re a mid or senior copywriter in LA looking to join an advertising/entertainment/tech startup on the ground floor, give a shout. You’ll be writing everything from ads featuring celebrities to blog posts, videos, ads for our platform, and probably a few hundred other things. You’ll also work with our parent company, a premier Hollywood production/management company. The role is partially remote (come for key meetings and brainstorms but work remote other days). HMU for more info!

Just wanted to share this with people who would understand. Had 4 IEP meetings last week.

I told her not to worry, in our program I will have him for 2 more years. Boy that made me feel good.
