A Little Bright Spot At Work
Most of you know, I am a partner in our family owned NAPA Store.
What you don’t know, is, selling auto parts is only one of many things we do.
One of our employees had a baby. Actually, his wife had the baby, but you get my drift.
Anyway, recently, the new mommy was under the weather. She happens to be VERY young, and her immediate family lives several hours away.
So….we gladly stepped in! And continue to do so, whenever we are needed.
He is so precious, I can’t stand it!
Here is my mom, filing daily invoices, AND hogging the baby.
Both the mommy and the daddy are so appreciative when we help them, but, we LOVE doing it! Might seem a little crazy to let an employee bring a new baby to work once in awile, but that’s the way we roll here.
p.s. Don’t look at the train wreck on top of the gazillion filing cabinets we have. Now that I said that, of course you are looking. Once I saw this picture, I was so mortified, I cleaned them off completely. Really.

Aw! How sweet! This reminds me of the time I watched a baby and her two toddler siblings while their daddy did some farm work for us long ago. He didn't bring any diapers and I remember wrapping dish towels around the baby's bottom!

I Iove that your employee is able to bring her baby to work – and I just be you & your Mom are perfect baby sitters. Your Mom's a multi-tasker. And don't worry, my file cabinets look the very same!

we have a contractor doing work over here and we love him and his family. His young daughter, early 20 ish, has a baby and not great daycare … so we take her to help out every now and again … and love it.
So cute, no sleepless nights 😉

My oldest granddaughter tends to hog babies, too. I guess there's one in every family! I didn't realize your business is a NAPA store! Hubby and I worked in auto parts for several years early on. He's still in parts, but not our own business any more. We had a baby around some when our niece worked for us, one of the benefits of having your own business. 🙂

How lovely and generous of you to be able to help out like that. And he is a very precious and beautiful baby boy.

As it should be and that is the cutest filing supervisor I've ever seen!

That baby is adorable!!! and I was so busy looking at the baby I didn't even notice the messy cabinets. So, don't clean them…just keep bringing the baby in there to deflect attention. 🙂
