MISSION: {New} Mother’s Day

With Mother’s Day being yesterday, Affiliated Agent B {and her accomplice, Affiliated Agent A} thought this weekend a perfect time to celebrate new moms. I couldn’t agree more.

DATE:
Thursday, 5 May 2011

OPERATIVES:
Affiliated Agent B
Affiliated Agent A

LOCATION:
local maternity ward
Shoreline/Edmonds, WA

TIME:
approximately 8 p.m.

This mission just happened to fall into place. I had actually made these 3 gifts a little while back and just had not “placed” them yet — and so…..

The first one is a little photobook, journal and pencil all wrapped with a ribbon which could be for anyone – male, female, young, old….. — I went to the local nursery any placed it in a box of dahlia tubers for some gardener to find and take home…

The other two were gifts of body lotion and bubble bath — in little clear bags with the notes and SAL cards attached.

I hadn’t really any idea what to do with them until my friend (Affiliated Agent Amy) suggested that in honor of Mother’s Day, how about the local maternity ward??? Great idea Amy! With a little doctoring of the outside and attaching stickers that said “Happy Mother’s Day” we set out for the local hospital.

When we reached the birthing center we offered up what our intentions were and the charge nurse was more than helpful — she took us to the one vacant birthing room and let us “prop” them for pictures (we had one on the bed and one in the isolette). Obviously we couldn’t leave them in that actual room, but once we explained the entire SAL project, she assured us she would place them for a couple new moms this weekend —

Happy Mom’s Day to all you mothers out there (and all those who fill in as moms!!)!

Affiliated Agents B and A, THANK YOU! I’m sure your acts of kindness will really touch the new moms who received them. Thank you for thinking outside the box! {And a BIG thank you to the nurse in charge who offered to act as an accomplice! YAY!}
