Welcome to Shoppe Talk!

Let me intoduce myself, my name is Casey, and I am coming to you direct from cyberspace. Actually, I’m really just sitting in my living room in Paris, France. I am  from the great state of Indiana. But have lived all over the planet! Having settled here in France to raise my son & my daughter.  I had to, because their father is French (lol). 

 I’ve come to realize that no matter where on the globe you are located…. all parents have the same thing that unites them…………….wanting to do what is best for their offspring .

So, let’s talk shoppe! Do you have any questions? This is intended to be a two way conversation. And, I’m looking forward to hearing from you. Want to share your photos of your baby with stories, hopes, fears and share any useful mommy/baby information.  Okay… let’s get this rolling with this thought………………………………………………….

Where do babies come from? Remember that question? Who hasn’t heard it?!!!!

Are Babies simply an extension of our own selfish longing to be eternal?

Are Babies a declaration of Love for another human being?

Are Babies innocent pawns in the biological clock plot that exists in all of us?

Are Babies gifts from above?

Everyone must decide for themselves. What I have learned is that Babies arrive, expected or not,

homegrown or special delivery, early or almost too late, they come anyway! When they do, they are accompanied by tons of chaos, sometimes with special needs, sometimes without, and lots of fun!

Maybe we should all recognize them for what they are, precious little gifts from the sky.

The French have a saying ” Every newborn comes into this world with a loaf of bread under their arm.”

What it really means, is that with every new baby comes hope and opportunity. It doesn’t matter if you are rich or poor, embrace it, and see it as another chance of getting it right!
