I guess that's not always true, but for the most part the below shown items fit the bill! All things below were Free and have given us much joy thus far! Take a look!

A Box...wet (from the rain) and dirty, but obviously occupied the children!

FREE!

No she doesn't live in there...although you might think so by how she looks here!
An old Power Wheels JEEP. We were bestowed this great gift when Lilly was a small babe. The batteries we replaced do not hold a charge, so the kids have only played in it while moving a handful of times. But I have many photos to prove the joy they have had in this thing...and many neighbors, friends and so on as well.

FREE!

Well they aren't always having a joyful time I guess!

And the Piez de resistance......A new grill! My husband was able to chose a substantial gift from his company for being on Salary for 10 years now. He chose the beautiful piece below to replace our grill (that we were gifted as a wedding present from some great friends) that had seen it's better and more safe days!

FREE! FREE! FREE!

Written by Alicia Overby - Founder & President of Baby Elephant Ears

Alicia is wife, mother, and creator of Baby Elephant Ears. Baby Elephant Ears was created out of parental concern, not financial desire. In 2005, when their second child was an infant, he cried all the time and just couldn't seem to get comfortable.

After seeking advice and suggestion from the medical community and alternative medicine, they eventually ended up in the chiropractors office where their baby was successfully treated for a subluxation, discomfort most likely the result of the strain during labor, which was now being exacerbated by the normal lack of infant neck strength. Only proper neck, head, and back alignment would offer him relief. When they couldn't find a product to give their baby the necessary support, Alicia took matters into her own hands and crafted her own infant support pillow. The first Baby Elephant Ears was born!
