Every time we travel, the kiddos pack their own carry-on luggage. Toys, books, candy, and most importantly their stuffed animals. We have been to Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, and Mexico without EVER losing anything. My children treasure their stuffed animals. They sleep with at least a dozen each night and choosing JUST ONE to take on a vacation is extremely hard to do.

Jay picked "Blue Mousie" as his friend to accompany him to Mexico this January.

We lost "Blue Mousie" in Mexico.

My husband, unbeknownst to me, e-mailed the cheese company BEEMSTER (the manufacturers of cheese, they were promoting their cheeses at swanky Heniens, where we picked up Blue Mousie when Jay was only 2 years old... in the cheese section of a grocery store) and told them of our troubles.  "Our son loves cheese and loves his blue Beemster mouse.  Loves!"

BEEMSTER, responded immediately. There were only FOUR "Blue Mousies" left in the United States of America and they would ship one to Ohio tomorrow.

Today. We got a package.

Thank you BEEMSTER cheese.  You have made one very special cheese lover very happy.

Thank you Beemster, thank you!
