THE LLL GRANNY’S LOVE KIT -OK

 Many years ago when I belonged to La Leche League we designed a love kit for members. I recently found it and decided to adapt it to grannies since we  have become GRANNIES. I plan to distribute the love kits to the people who come to my friend’s 70th birthday party on Sunday. If you have any suggestions I would appreciate it. I will put the items in plastic bags – one for each guest.
