Thanks classifieds.

That's about 125 pieces including onsies, hats, socks, blankets, pants, sleepers, snow suits, a diaper genie, and more. The sizes ranged from 0-24 months.

We got all of this for $150 thanks to our local classifieds. The diaper genie alone is $40 at Walmart.
The majority of this stuff is brand new or had only been worn a couple of times. All in all, I think we did pretty good. Just over $1 per item.

 
Some of my favorite pieces!
The Mickey Mouse one I HAD to have since my brother works for Disney.



Little Vans!


And of course the cats had to mark their territory and have fun.
Yes, we washed all of these right after this picture was taken.
It filled two laundry baskets by the way.

Today's post is brought to you by the letter "F"

First "F" word: FRIDAY!!! Happy pregnant woman dance!

Second "F" word: Frog.

You see, the smallest things in life make me happy. Really happy.
So needless to say, when I got to work and saw a tree frog hopping across the showroom floor, I got a bit excited.
Ok.. maybe I screamed a little and ran to examine/rescue the poor thing.
I was armed with a cup in one hand and kleenex in the other.



I have to admit something..
I really wanted to keep it. I know.. I know.. Not a good idea.
Plus.. I don't know anything about frogs.
So I took a few pictures, admired how cute it was, and let it go outside in the trees.

Bye little frog.
Thanks for making my Friday morning a little more exciting.

THAT Just Happened

 Sneezing and Pregnancy


You see.. there's a lot to learn when you're pregnant.
There are some major changes happening. *shocker*
Luckily, the only symptoms I've had so far are bigger boobs (woohoo) and heartburn...
Which to be honest is a hell of a lot better than morning sickness..
Anyways, one thing I've recently discovered is the proper way to sneeze.
And there IS a proper way to sneeze just so you know.
You see, a couple of weeks ago I sneezed out of the blue... and totally peed myself a bit.
How was I supposed to know your bladder does wonky things while pregnant??
So whenever I sneeze and burst out laughing, my husband asks "You just peed yourself, didn't you?"
Which makes me laugh even harder and run faster to the bathroom.
 
THAT totally happened. Last night.

Woke up this morning... happy.

It's beginning to look a lot like winter!


For a day anyways.
I woke up this morning, looked outside, and to my surprise... it actually snowed.
Completely. Happy. Here.
I love snow.
Can you tell?

Friday News!!!!!!!!!
There are a couple of things today.

1. It's the LONG WEEKEND!
I love long weekends.
I love long weekends that have snow even more.
The best part of this weekend? I don't have any plans.
Ahhh, relaxation.

2. Comment settings
I've changed the comment settings so it should be easier to leave them now.
So.. leave them.
They make me happy.

3. Exciting news!
Some exciting news on my part.. See this perdy lady?


She's the mama bear.
Can you tell? People say we look alike.
On to the good news! Last night I finally found her a place to live.. so she's MOVING HERE by the end of the month!

Now.. I'll be perfectly honest since I'm an open book.
Last year at this time, we weren't even on speaking terms.
Maybe one day I'll elaborate on that but not right now.
What I do know is this...I'm very proud of her and hope she continues along the same path.
We both have a lot of work to do in order to fix our mother/daughter relationship.

I'm excited to have her around for her birthday, Christmas, and when the baby comes.

4. Tuesday, November 13th!
You HAVE to come back on November 13th.
No ifs, ands, or buts.
There's a treat for you if you do.

5. Advertising

Falling behind

I am falling behind when it comes to writing on here. Things have been so busy lately!

Couple of new things...

1. I'm getting a new blog design courtesy of <span> tag designs. It was an offer I couldn't refuse! I have to say... I'm super excited about it! It makes me look forward to blogging even more.

2. I met a new blogger friend Libby. You can find her at In Every Little Moment. She is super sweet and we seem to have a few things in common. You should check her out... I mean, her blog.

3. Today is the first day I will complain about being pregnant. The heartburn is brutal and I didn't sleep at all last night because my belly was way too sore. Hopefully I feel better soon. Other than that, I think our munchkin is having a growth spurt because I've been feeling the stretching...

4. CARA BOX PARTERS. I am SOOO excited to be a part of Cara Box this month! There were 3 Canadian ladies who signed up so I'm happy there's actually an exchange going on. Cara Box is a box of gifts you send to a partner (picked for you). There's a limit of $15 per box, around 5 gifts, and the usually a theme. This month's theme is Childhood. The idea is to send your partner gifts that reminds them of their childhood.. so you have to be super creative! Love it! Excited to see how this goes! The best part.. you don't need a blog to sign up and you get to meet 2 new people!

 
5. I currently have ads on Girl on a Missin to Lose the Cushion and Tales From A Far so I thought I would give them a shout out!
 
Alright, relax time.
Night peeps
There may be grammar problems here.. I blame it on the laptop since I need to reformat it.
It keeps skipping letters.
