Several weeks ago I recieved an email regarding a grant that was available to apply for.. Specifically ONLY for the purchase of cribs and mattresses..
I did my online shopping... found the crib I wanted..metal .. portable crib.... applied for the grant ..
I was awarded 70% of what I applied for..
I went ahead and bought all 3 cribs that I had requested.. and paid the extra $100 out of my own pocket...

YAY!!!!!!!

This is the crib I purchased...

I don't disagree on that...
they kind of do..
But I just really didn't want the wooden style..
I wanted something that was going to be durable...and last for years...
No offense taken though..
Hey... isn't daycare LIKE PRISON? ... lol.. just kidding...sometimes when those precious angels don't want to nap.. I'm sure that's what their tiny minds are thinking...

lol...too funny..

I will say that they look really safe and could even contain the best escape artist.

I wish I could qualify for a grant...I apply all the time, never get them....

I don't actually find these grants.. the info is sent to me from Workforce Texoma.. which is the childcare assistance program for my area...
They send me a notification..with the rules and guidelines to apply..
Then I do it..
But..
I will say...I went through a program with them a few years ago to become a TEXAS RISING STAR provider...and the fact that I am that gives me first consideration when I do apply for the grants..
