A great Target find...

Every January Target puts a lot of their baby stuff on clearance to make room for the new designs. It starts out slow, but if you (and everyone else) are patient enough you can find lots of great stuff for 75% off. These happen to be some of my great finds.

Right now, being 36 1/2 weeks pregnant, my very favorite find is my Boppy Total Support Body pillow for $12.48 (that's 75% off the $49.99 price). Knowing how wonderful it is now, I might just pay the $50 for one, but much happier that I got it for under $13.

My friend Melissa, has a giveaway on her bargain blog every month. Again, she is giving a Target Gift Card- but these happen to be my favorite. They are much harder to come across than CVS, Rite Aid or Walgreens, and can be used on much much more in Target. Let's hope I win this month.

If you are new to bargain shopping she does a great job breaking down the deals for beginners! So check out her blog!

Happy Birthday Fun!

A little late, but better than never...

Happy Birthday Abby!

I can't believe it's been SIX years since Abby was born, seems like just yesterday. We have a great weekend where I'm sure Abby did/got everything she wanted to, because it was her birthday. We went out Friday night for some yummy pizza and her free ice cream from Cold Stone- and she got to pick the movie rental.

Saturday was the big day. We only seemed to get pictures of her party. We had her party at Build a Bear and was able to invite 6 friends- that was a tough tough choice for this very friendly girl.

Here are some pictures from the party!

Sadly, the best group picture there is!

Abby and Nataya- these girls are so silly together!


Abby and Peter- this kid is her 'boyfriend'.
He's such a cutie and so nice, and I really like his parents, but my little girl was holding hands with him- and they write each other love notes. I forsee a troubled future.

Getting so close...

Let's see- I'm almost 36 weeks- WOW! Things are slowly coming together. And I mean slowly. I really want to work in the baby's room, get her crib set up, make curtains, put her clothes away- all that fun stuff- and I can't! Will it still be as fun after the baby is born?

Today I made some headbands to go with all my little clippies I have. Since I don't have a baby to test them on Abby's doll will have to do, although I'm sure the baby's head will be bigger.






And my cute swing we just put together. I told Ernie that this must mean we really are getting a baby. He just rubbed my tummy and said "yes, we are."

Abby is also starting to get really excited. I think it is because everything is BABY around here. And she can really see my belly. She has been so sweet, she'll come up and give the baby hugs and kisses, and talk to her. I still think she'll be in total shock when the baby arrives, heck everyone will. I do hope she handles it good!

And I don't think I posted here yet... But I'm pretty sure (99%) that we have settled on a name- EVA GRACE but we can't decide if we want to call her Grace (our #1 name) or Eva, after Ernie's Grandma Stevens. Ahh, decisions!

We went to the cool cemetery on Friday- Ern took lots of pics- I'll have to post some and tell you GHOST stories too!
