A place to sit. and ship. and sip. Sip and Ship.

I think that I need to devote a little time to those places where you can go and just have a coffee while the kiddos play. I know that I have mentioned a couple of these places in the past, but I dont want to forget about this place in Ballard and in Green wood. Sip and Ship. This place was perfect for today. I have been meaning to ship some holiday gifts to friends and a few holiday cards too. yes, holiday, as in Christmas. you heard me correctly. I am that overdue. Having a newborn is a good excuse right? And, so what better place than this to knock off an errand, have a treat and a latte AND visit with a dear friend while our kiddos play? I dont come here often, but I am always really impressed with the service when I do. They were extremely accomodating to me as I tried to mail my things, order a coffee, and chase my toddler around. I never used to be one to accept help, but these days its hard to juggle it all. I find that anything even as small as the barista bringing me my latte while I settled in with my stroller and its faulty front wheel, my behemoth diaper bag and my squirrelly toddler is worthy of a little praise. Did I mention that they have a little kids area? not big, but its separate, and it has a few toys. good enough for me! And, the coffee is good. and, come to think of it, so was that big fat scone.
