I’m a Momma first, and a Customer later
This morning, I was feeling a little cooped up. It was rainy and dark, and my baby girl slept in until almost 11. I decided that this was as good a day as any to go shopping. My husband needed more work clothes and I needed to figure something out for dinner. I’m a cheapskate, and always start at bargain places first, if possible. We had a quick breakfast and then discussed the rules: There would be a prize, IF the kids were SUPER well behaved in the store. We started the day at Marshalls. It took about a minute to go through the Men’s section and determine that they had nothing…

The Hand-me-WAY-down Dress

Wall Stickers – Thank you, Dollar Tree!!
I am not a fan of bare walls. In fact, I’m a mural fan, myself. My husband? All about resale – i.e. neutral. Hmmm… One day I will get some color on the walls.

I learned a lesson about re-usable plastic stickers and simple WALL stickers. Stickers, that don’t say re-usable, shouldn’t be put on to bathtubs!!! After a lot of Goo-b-Gone, they were removed. I should have explained that I didn’t change theme, the kids…
