Baby Gifts: Gotobaby.com
I have a friend who is going to be moving his business… get this… from New York to Washington D.C. back up to Connecticut. Don’t ask, I can’t explain. Anyways, the guy has had his store Gotobaby.com on the web for a while now. In the time I have worked with him he has for the most part maintained awesome 1st page rankings on the major search engines for all kinds of cool baby terms.
What I am getting at is that many, many people have taken notice in the quality of products, amount of service and the overall experience of dealing with the people of Go to Baby. They do their best to offer the most unique baby gifts, toys, accessories and more so that the customer will learn that finding the perfect baby gift online for a baby or new mom goes through Gotobaby.com. With multiple warehouse locations shipping is smooth like butter allowing for shorter processing times.
With all of the products provided such as baby gift baskets, diaper bags and personalized baby gifts their inventory is constantly changing so make sure to check them out when the times are tough looking for a reliable online baby gift source to shop from. The website is easily navigable, attractive with bright colors and smooth layout allowing for a pleasant experience when browsing. I give my “OK” to Gotobaby.com, their website and what they have to offer visitors who are looking for their products online.
Ballroom Gowns
With all the hype surrounding the ever-popular show Dancing with the Stars, ballroom dancing as well as tango and latin dancing such as salsa, merengue, bachata and others have come back to be popular as ever with all age groups. With the different types of dance there are specific types of wardrobes provided and traditionally necessary to participate formally and professionally.

Connecticut Sled Hockey: Connecticut Wolfpack
I have had the awesome opportunity to witness a sport I definitely would have never heard of if it wasn’t for an unfortunate motorcycle accident that caused my fiance’s parents to be amputees. Her father Marty Kenniston plays sled hockey. (check out http://www.ctsledhockey.org/)
“Sled hockey is an exciting alternative sport that uses the rules of hockey. However, instead of skating, the players sit on a specially designed sled and use two short ice picks to propel themselves across the ice. Standard hockey rules apply. Legal body contact and raised puck shooting are as much a part of sled hockey as they are in traditional hockey.” courtesy of Ctsledhockey.org
To watch men and women; disabled and healthy attempt to maneuver themselves up and down a full ice hockey rink for 3 periods is wild in itself. But to think that some of these individuals are playing in some cases without both legs, paralyzed in different parts of the body, with 1 arm. The cheering and recognition from fans and friends alike gives off feelings that would otherwise seem distant and rare unfortunately in what they consider the real world. (away from those they can relate to)
Though some may still look at them differently due to a handicap or something considered visually different, watching them playing Their game, kids and adults alike can get something positive out of the experience as well as a new understanding and hopeful appreciation of what ALL people have to offer no matter their personal difficulties or physical oddities compared to what is supposed to be “normal”.
Today I was at the International Skate Center in Simsbury, CT. Today was their celebrity game. There was a “Survivor” finalist, High School girls sports coach, NBC personalities and a few others. The Wolfpack won of course and afterward they allowed some to try out the sleds while others hoped their number was called in the raffle that was being held.
Overall it was an awesome experience. My fiance’s 8 and 10 year old kids loved every minute of the event. I do suggest watching a sled hockey game with the whole family one day. Remember that we are ALL different; physically, mentally, emotionally, sexually and just about every other facet of a person’s life and personality. Give all a chance.
