Lost Target Earrings

I'm trying to boycott Target. It's my favorite store and it's only been a week. Most of the stuff i get on Amazon Prime

anyway. 

Ask me how disappointed I was today when I asked Jane where I got these earrings and she said Target. Darn it. How long can I last avoiding Target?

 

Day After Christmas Hallmark Shopping

We got just about everything but couldn't find the Nightmare Before Christmas ornament for Kim Evans :(

Oh Dear, Shopping Again

Warning! Beware the Bird Cages At The Westfield Mall

I plopped down in one of these last week and about broke my tail bone. After mocking them the last couple of times I was at the mall I decided they must be super comfortable or nobody would have bought them. I was so wrong-the most uncomfortable chair ever. This is what they get for a 20 million dollar mall upgrade?? This person should be fired.

New Pancake Mix at Target

Black Friday At Costco

I went there at 7:30 PM on Black Friday to pick up a few things for our party today. 

Black Friday (Grey Thursday???)

We ran into Andrew at Grace at the Target in Azusa. It was Grace's first Black Friday adventure and it couldn't have been better! As much as I was completely against the stores opening early it was actually great for us. We usually have Thanksgiving dinner in the afternoon so heading to Target afterwards was much more convienient than midnight or 5AM. Crowds were bad and we took the Target #Salefie in an attempt to win 10K. After Target we hit the mall briefly and then we were home by 10:00. 

PS. For those that think we are crazy for participating in Black Friday this is a long tradition for us and it is fun! I totally enjoy this night out shopping with Becca, Mom and James (and now, Andrew and Grace) Thanks for Kim Evans for encouraging the online shopping-we did this too!

Overnight Trip to Sacramento

Since my ankle injury shoes have truly been a problem. I have never been a shoe collector but since the injury I have had to invest in some flats. I recently took an overnight trip to Sacramento and during which I went shopping and bought two pairs of new flats and one pair of heels. This wouldn't be so remarkable but I already had 6 other pairs with me. (Yes, this was an overnight trip). So I had two pairs of heels that I was trying to wear (and couldn't) but I had two pairs of flats with me as backup-which I wore. I wore my Birkenstocks through the airport and I brought my tennis shoes in case I wanted to take an evening walk. When it was all said and done I had nine pairs of shoes to bring home with me. What a joke! It did make for some great pictures though.

Mother's Day Milestone

Last year on Mother's Day I introduced the kids to Wonder Woman and that turned out to be their favorite show. (I'm still happy about that). This year I introduced them to their own Birkenstocks......they are turning into their mother ;)

I Am So Ahead Of The Fashion Trends

Thanks Diane for sharing Birkenstocks on the runway at Nordstrom. (PS I bought my first 3 pairs there)

I Got Up At 4:00am To Buy Plants

Otherwise entitled, I love my mother. #somethingisaidiwouldneverdo #shessohappywiththeseplants #starbuckstime #homedepot #lotsofpeople

Thanksgiving Shopping

Yup we did it again at the Disney Store. And yes I may have shopped on Thanksgiving (and had a great time) but I won't call it Brown Thursday or Grey Thursday. May be the dumbest thing ever.....the media can't even make up their mind, I suggest they call it Thanksgiving. PS I'm not complaining at all about going to bed at 11:15 instead of 3am.

Before and After

I did a lot of shopping on my last trip. Unfortunately I brought my small suitcase. Much consolidation was needed.

Shopping Is Miserable

If you don't believe me just ask the mannequins at the Macy's in Roseville. They all look miserable, who decided on these mannequins anyway? Why would this make me want to shop there? If you can even please the mannequins now that is a problem.

Sky Mall Product Of The Day 11/6

As the holidays approach and we are all looking for that special gift I have decided to feature Sky Mall products once a week. This product, The Magic Wand Remote Control allows you to change the channel and volume of your tv with a simple flick of the wrist rather than having to press down on the up or down on your traditional remote. A great product for a wanna be magician or someone who is just sick and tired of pressing the volume down button.

We Are Happy To Return That Item Except...

What I Didn't Buy

The Titanic Ironing Board?

Fall Already? Summer First!

"Mom My Tummy Hurts!"

A few seconds later, vomit. All over Brooke, all over the car seat. Fortunately, I had decided to pull off I-10 at literally the last off ramp on the outskirts of Phoenix. I pulled into a parking lot and if you know me at all there would be no way I would attempt to clean this disaster. After looking at Brooke (who is crying) I decide the car seat must come out of the car. I remove Brooke, take off her clothes and she is now naked in the parking lot (still crying). I look around and pray that a Walmart (which is the only possible store that would carry a car seat in this town) is in the next parking lot. I hand Brooke (now wearing a diaper) to mom and just saw "Hold Her", I drive to the next parking lot and wouldn't you know it, we see a Walmart. :)

For at least 15 minutes I try to get the car seat out of the car. There is something about the car seat clips that make it virtually impossible for me to get it out. This is always a problem but when vomit is involved it is probably much less likely that I am going to be successful. I decide that when I purchase the new car seat I will also purchase some industrial strength scissors. So I proceed to purchase the following: Car Seat, paper towels, Antibacterial Clorox wipes, Baby wipes, a Sierra Mist, a razor blade thingy (just in case) and a pack of industrial scissors. I felt like MacGyver cutting the car seat out, a good cleaning, no vomit smell and an hour and a half later we were on our way. Longest trip home from Phoenix in quite awhile.
