Jessie, awww the outfits you have picked out are adorable. So I gather you're due soon?? That's really exciting! I remember the thrill as I got closer to my due date. I remember the pains (heeh, the heartburn, the back pain, everything), but the thrill. I'm very glad for you!
It's exciting.
Gonnabe165, girl you ARE gonna be 165, look at your avatar! I'm impressed! Awesome job. Looking at your avatar motivates me.
Yeah consignment shops rock. I like to go to those and look around for really good deals. Another little secret is, I go to the salvation army and since babies grow out of clothes so quickly, you can ALWAYS find clothes that look BRAND new for really cheap. There are some hideous stained clothes which I naturally bypass, but there are always stuff that looks brand new.
At Walmart, they've got summer clothes on sale. I got an outfit for DS 2 weeks ago for only $2. It was dark green khaki shorts with a bright green white-flowered hawaian button up shirt... too precious. I'm not a fan of Hawaian shirts but on babies, it's absolutely adorable. My mom said he looks like a miniature version of my Grandpa who favors such shirts. Baby Liam looks like a little grownup.
Just a tip, check out your local Walmart, they may have the same deals. I love when walmart has sales, their stuff is always CRAZY cheap.
To elaborate on some of the stuff I find that looks brand new, I've found brands such as Ralph Lauren (seriously!), osh kosh, gymboree, carters, and pretty much any line you can think of. I found a little yellow button up Phat Farm shirt... that's my bf's type of thing... Phat Farm... so we got it and Liam looks adorable in it, a little baby with some uh, hiphop flavor.. aww.
Ruthxx, please tell us your doggy is okay. I read about that the other day. I think we all probably understand what it's like to have an ailing pet. Pets are like our children! We love them like our own family, 'cause they
are family! Sending out good wishes to you and the pup.
Lady Nessa, EXCELLENT!!
Okay this post is turning out to be really long but since we're talking cinnamon coffee, I thought I'd share some of my coffee blends I make.
I like to make my coffee and add a bit of hershey's cocoa to the liquid when it's done being microwaved and has been milked (I'm currently using instant, good god, it has really went up in price, one jar was like $10). It makes it really rich and the chocolately flavor is sinful.
Cinnamon coffee? Yum, done that. I would add like a teaspoon of vanilla flavoring and a pinch of nutmeg, too, after it's been milked, for a delicious autumny treat.
Around christmas time, they sell all of these minty creamers which are obviously not legal, but you could find a sugar free bag of peppermints and just drop it in and let it melt. Yum!
Jessie, LC & Autumn you chicks have a great day!
