Once again my children amazed me as they behaved very well for their respective abilities on the long drive home! We so enjoyed our time away and returned with mixed hearts. We were all very excited to see Scott again and he us.

On the way home we stopped for some "rowdy" time in some green space. The children ran around and burned off some steam.

So many things were accomplished by our getaway...

We were able to spend uninterrupted time together...the children and I.

I was able to get in some much needed physical activity while my mom and sister helped with the children.

We were able to wind down from our ever revolving door at our home.

I was able to turn off my phone and concentrate on my children and my God.

I was able to do some much needed soul searching and have some long awaited conversations with my God.

But....we are glad to be back!~

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!
