  Ode To Diapers.com
  reviews, shopping, modern motherhood (4)

  Well, not really an "ode" per se, but I just had to take a moment or two to sing the praises of Diapers.com!  Mamas everywhere, listen up! If you are not using this service, you totally should be. I just discovered them back in May, and I am in love. Any mama with babies in diapers, on formula, or requiring any of the essential infant/toddler/preschooler paraphernalia - green or not -must sign up...NOW! I've only used them twice, but even once was enough to impress me. Those of you who know me, know that I am not easily impressed. Both times I've ordered, ...

  Flaunt It Friday: Bargains Galore
  Flaunt It Fridays, shopping (7)

  This week's Flaunt It Friday idea comes to us from Candi over at All Day Night.  She has been meaning to blog about some of her bestest thrift store finds and thought that you all might have some too. So this week we are gathering to post about our latest bargain, sale or thrift store steals. Don't forget to link up, involve a few of your bloggy friends and take some photos, girls. Now you tell me, who doesn't love a bargain?!  Shopping is a favorite pastime of my own, so bargain hunting has most certainly been one of the longest standing ...

  Since when does Christmas start in October?
  What the Hell?, shopping, rants, speaking my mind (4)

  Leave it up to the strategic marketers! A little bit of rain hits, the leaves start to brown and fall, our bodies begin to shift into "eat all you can and pack on the fat-here comes winter mode" and THIS is what they come up with!?  What the hell is wrong with people? Since when does Christmas start in October?!     There I was, minding my own shopping business,  grabbing a much needed early evening break at our local mall. No Hubby, no babies to hinder my frivolous spree.  I was out to reward myself  for making it through such a difficult day ...

  Adventures in Shopping: Hold on to Your Seats!
  shopping, modern motherhood (0)

  Hold on to your SEATS!  Literally!  I'm going to be getting truly superficial in this post. I found a site today that will make your "trying on a half dozen pair of jeans with several children whining underfoot in the dressing room only to walk out of the store empty-handed and truly angry with your mommy bod" days a thing of the past! Yes, apparently there is an easier and highly scientific way, mama! It may have been around forever, for all I know, but it's new to me and, in my humble opinion, it's helpful. So that makes it blogworthy and ...

  Princess Point of View II: The Dealership
  princess point of view, shopping, the kids, the mouth of babes (2)

  Princess:  “Mama, where are we going?” themommykelly:  “We are going to the car DEALERSHIP to buy a new car.” Princess: “I want my new car to be hot pink.” themommykelly: (trying to avoid a meltdown) “I don’t think that they make hot pink cars, Princess.” Princess: “Then I want a green car.” themommykelly: (to herself) “How many years to driving age??? 1, 2, 3…” themommykelly: (to Princess)  “We’ll just see what they have, Baby, then we’ll decide.” An hour later… after Princess and Drama Queen have done a thorough job of terrorizing the entire showroom and sending the car salesmen running for their lives (an unplanned strategy)… Princess: ...
