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 loosing anything. My children treasure their stuffed animals. They sleep with 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 last January.
We lost "Blue Mousie" in Mexico. I lost him.
Knowing very well that my overly sensitive first born child would cry and try to return to Mexico for "Blue Mousie." I told him that he died. "He is in heaven swimming in pools of swiss cheese." I lied to my son.
Jay was happy knowing that "Blue Mousie" was in heaven. He was comforted with the idea of his mouse in peaceful heaven. Except for, he kept thinking about him. He kept wondering about him. He was really sad that "Blue Mousie" wasn't able to accompany him to "Pajama Day" at his pre-K during "P" week. "I wish that Blue Mousie was just alive to come with me, Mama."
My husband, unbeknownst to me, e-mailed the cheese company BEEMSTER (the manufacturers of blue mousie and cheese) and told them of our troubles.
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. One day before pajama day at pre-k.

FIRST!!!!!!
Okay, now that I've actually read the post after my spastic FIRST!...
I must say, SCORE! Wow, you guys have horse shoes up your bums! How nice of Beemster.
How incredibly sweet! That was a nice thing for the cheese company to do for you!
I love it....reincarnation! Have fun with that!
That is so awesome! I am so glad Jay has his mousie again! What a very nice thing for that company to do, and an even nicer thing for your husband to contact them and even ask about it :)
Wow, that's pretty impressive. Looks like I'm going to have to go and buy some cheese!!
That's awesome for a company to do that for you. Good luck with the reincarnation thing.
Those Beemsters just got a whole lotta good advertising! How's their cheese?
I take it original Mousie wasn't in as good of shape as this one?
That is awesome.....
What a wonderful thing for that company to do! I've never heard of that brand, but if I ever see it I'll surely buy it. I'm so glad he got his Blue Mousie back, and good luck explaining reincarnation to the kiddos!
Cool! Glad the company came through for you.
That is absolutely hysterical!!
Damn. That was nice of them!!
WOW!!!! That's fantastic! And congratulations on the URL.
OMG! I am completely cracking up here. Where can I guy Beemster Cheese? I am willing to be very loyal to a company like that!
Jen
That is so cool! What a very cool company!
How totally awesome of them! They should be thrilled to have great customers like ya'll.
That is wonderful. We also had to accept that JoJo the monkey went back to the Jungles of SOuth AMerica to live out his life with his Mojo and cousin Coco...
Jay's smile is one of true joy! What a great company to have done that. When I go to the grocery store today I'll have to check out the Beemster Cheese!
And good luck with the reincarnation talk....
how nice of that company! Isn't it great when you're reminded that there are actually nice people in the world!
That was so cool! Nice to hear about such a positive experience! I'm glad your son got his mouse back.
I'm still explaining heaven, can't imagine reincarnation!
You could always say he faked his own death because he owed some money to some cats and had to hide out in Mexico.
How great of them! I'm glad they were able to make Jay happy.
Do you know if there is something funky with your new RSS feed? Every time I try to subscribe is just says "Classy Chaos Has Moved" has no items. I use Google Reader and don't want to miss any posts. I know I won't remember to click over to the actual blog all that often.
what great customer service...any company that puts that smile on jay's face is tops to me!!! i am committed to eating beemster cheese for breakfast, lunch and dinner for the next year!!
and another gold star for Mr. OhMommy for his valiant efforts. yet again, he is superhusband.
That was really nice! Blue mice...who'd have thunk it?
Very impressed with Beemster!
Hilarious! Look at him with all the swag.
How sweet!!! And as others have said good luck on the reincarnation thing..
What a lovely company. Now I want to buy cheese from them too!
You are kidding!!! That is the best company ever! Wow! And just in time for school. Yeah!!!
that was awesome of that company!! they made a little guy, very happy and...also showed what a good company they are!!
good luck explaining reincarnation. that should go over very well!
xoxo
Glad to see the dark cloud looming over the OHMommy house is gone. No more vomit and poop...on to Beemster cheese!
I have never heard of Beemster and would love to support a company like that! Where can I purchase some?
I think I will write Beemster and tell them about this post. Maybe you will receive free cheese for a year!!!
That company rocks. So glad that blue mousie has returned.
Did you know that I triple heart cheese? No? Well, now ya do. I know you can die happy having that priceless bit of info.
Good luck with the reincarnation talk. I'm sure there is another blog post in that.
Now you have to explain BREEDING to your preschoolers.
Aren't awesome companies awesome? I'm so glad they did the right thing.
OMG. That is awesome. First - it is hard when they are attached to an item. My son loves his pillow, but it is not a regular pillow and I have never seen another like it. My biggiest fear is that it goes the route of your blue mousie and we can't replace it.
I am so impressed with that company. I will def. be checking them out and will look for them next time I'm at Whole Foods! I love that they helped your son.
That is such a cute story! My Little Belly loves her stuffed animals too! I just posted a pic of her with her favorite one on my blog today!
awwwww that was the coolest thing - ever!
that rocks!
and what an adorable pre - k-er you have there!
i love stuff like this....yummy warmy cozy feelings!
;-)
hope the fam is feeling MUCH better after the tummy stuff!!
a-licious xooxoxox
in da hizzzzzouse!
How wonderful!
That's awesome!! Glad to see some people still care about customer service.
What a super cool thing for them to do! As long as we are doing re-incarnation you touch on karma too. Clearly blue mousie was a bad mousie or else he would have come back as something better! ;)
No emotional scaring there! Nope! :)
Wow that was really nice of them!
Maybe its just me, but your feed isnt working for the new site. :-(
Oh my goodness!!! That's great!!
I would just say that Blue Mousie made a new "baby blue mousie". Oh wait, then you'd have to explain reproduction...instead of reincarnation...LOL
I find that totally amazing. Four in the US?! And you scored one! Way to go, Daddy!
Good luck with the reincarnation talk.
What a cool thing for BEEMSTER to do! That is real customer service. NIce!
That was awesome of OHMommy Hubby to even think of that. :-)
Good luck with the reincarnation. Maybe it could be a brother to Blue Mousie.
Hope we never loose one thing in this house. Good Lord!
That is too funny~ I can't believe you were the lucky recipients to one of the last 4 in the US!! too cool. Good luck with your reincarnation lessons~ let me know how that goes so I can take notes!
oh i am so doing this, the first time we lose a lovey of some sort. I guess that'll happen immediately after Isobel becomes attached to something.
Think you'll ever try another cheese again?
Oh, I love a story with a happy ending! Just look at his little face, he looks so thrilled! Glad you were able to undo the early demise of blue mouse! What a nice company, too.
Lizzy
I don't even know what Beemster is, but I'm a huge fan now! That's amazing.
that's fantastic. i've never heard of beemster. you are great advertisement for them!
I love your blog and have subscribed:). I am also gonna link to it from the "Places I Hop To" section of my site.
The Blue Mousie post is so precious! Your husband is a keeper:).
That is AWESOME!! I just love hearing stories like this!
Kathryn is so attached to her bear that unbeknowst to her we have a "SpareBear" which has saved my butt on numerous occassions.
Ahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!
How wonderful of that company!
Now.. why did you move?
I've been contemplating a move too... but am not sure what I'm going to MOVE to...
:-) Beth
P.S. What side of Ohio are you in? I'm on the EAST side of the Ohio line!
Beemster Cheese is a great company. I wish they sold it in the Pacific Northwest, I would totally support them.
Have fun with the reincarnation talk.
Awww.
And love the new digs!!!!
Magic in that postal consignment!!
Just keep that mouse away from the fat cats!
That is so awesome! I'm a fan now too. :)
I love hearing about companies that have hearts and not just bottom lines. But I hate cheese, so they won't get any business from me!
Too cute! That was awesome that the Beemster mouse could return... Isn't reincarnation going to be fun to explain???
Awesome! Writing letters rule~
oh my gosh=====wow that is soooo cool! i am so glad for him!
