Gratuitous Product Placement

Joy's name seems to be everywhere these days. I see this as a good thing. I find it comforting, not depressing. It could be that I see and hear her name more than normal or it's just that I'm more attuned to it and notice it. Just the other day I got an email from Pottery Barn Kids, as I do quite often since my Mom likes to order stuff for the kids from there, titled "Filled with Joy." I was flipping through the channels Wed. night and ended up watching a show I never watch, "House," because the title was "Joy." Joy was the name of the baby that was born on the episode. No disrespect to those of you who watch that show, but that guy, House, is really irritating. Perhaps that is part of the draw?

I know that Joy is not really a common name for babies these days, but the word joy seems to be used quite often. I must hear it several times a day. I never noticed this before Joy. Even some products I buy and had in the house have her name on them. I think I will make sure I am loyal to these brands from now on. ;) I know...I'm a dork!

Anybody know of any other products?

I had written this post a couple days ago and thought it was kinda silly and wasn't sure if I was gonna share it and then read Rachel's (my new friend) post on her blog today , Home on the Range. She said "but for those of us grieving, seeing the name of our child anywhere means SO MUCH." You are so right, Rachel!
