Yesterday was all about bargains and I can't believe that I didn't brag about them. So, on this gloomy, rainy day (which I love!) I'll take a few minutes to tell you all about my wonderful finds.
First of all, Brookie needed some new summer clothes (Capri's and shorts) because 95%of the stuff that I bought for her is 3 times too big. She's just a little peanut, after all! She can wear ALL of her clothes from last year (which are mostly 3-6 months and 6-9 months). The majority of last year's clothes are Carter's (my favorite!), which always runs big on Brooke anyways. However, I just wanted her to have some new clothes to throw into the mix. I went to Macy's to look at the sales racks because they've had this Greendog stuff that I've had my eye on. I always, always wait for a sale before I purchase anything, even if that means going back every couple of days to check the sales. As soon as I walked to the children's section I saw a glorious sign... "75% off!" I quickly ran over and discovered that ALL of my precious Greendog collection was what they were clearing out! So, I got Brooke 6 pairs of Capri's (each for $2.99!), 3 shirts, a hooded sweatshirt, and a little dress with leggings for.... $34!!!!!!!!!!!! If I had bought everything at original price I would have spent $179! You just can't beat that! The stuff is absolutely adorable and I love Greendog. The make wicked nice stuff. I'm going to go back and get a few more things that I had talked myself out of getting. I got Brooke 12 month clothes and they're still very big (I have to roll them at the waist) so I'm pretty sure she'll even be able to wear them next year.
Our other big bargain of the day was furniture!! Remember the big, empty room in my house that I posted pictures of the other day? Well we had had it with it. It was such an awful waste of space! John and I were going to go buy some new furniture for it and be done with it. However, in the newspaper I saw that someone was selling their sofa, love seat, and coffee table for $400, which is total steal (our last sofa set was $1,600). I'm not usually one for used stuff because I'm kind of a fanatic about having things really clean but we decided to take a look at it anyways. As it turns out, the guy bought the set (which is really nice!) 4 months ago and then his company decided to transfer him out of the country so he has to sell everything. We took it, no questions asked! John's dad is picking it up for us tonight and I'll have pictures soon!
Have I mentioned that I LOVE a bargain???? Lol!
I'm off to church...

Geez, all these bargains you get are pretty amazing! I hope that when I start getting kids I'll be able to spot 'em! That story about Brooke was priceless! Keep them coming!
Hey thanks for the comment! See, he said that he'd be happy if we just happened to get pregnant, but wouldn't be ready or comfortable to actually start "trying". So if we just happened to get pregnant, it wouldn't be a big deal to him, but he doesn't want to have the intent to get pregnant. Which I can understand. And honestly, we've had the past three years together by ourselves, so we don't need more time to be just the two of us. I can see where he's coming from, and I'm not going to pressure him or anything but I just wish he would see my point of view. So we'll see what happens. Maybe I'll get pregnant in July because he just can't resist me!
