50% Off at Carters.com

Yesterday, I was so shocked to hear that Carters.com was having a 50% off everything sale. I knew I had to take advantage of it! I'm so obsessed with buying clothes for the girls, and now Jaci Claire as well. They had more cute stuff than i've seen in any of the stores lately. It was hard to narrow down my choices, but I finally did. I got 13 things for $89 w/ the half off plus I had a promo code to take an additional 20% off. I added up the original prices and I would've spent about $235 on the same 13 items. Oh my, how I love bargains!!

Mommy Went Shopping!

{Absolutely love this shirt! Hope it fits well!!}

All of my pregnancies have been different. Very different. When I was pregnant with Cami, it was the same time of year now. Her birthday is May 8th and this one is due May 27th. However, i was only 19 and wanted to "hide" my pregnancy with clothes. {ha! There was no hiding that big 'ol bump!} So I never bought Maternity Clothes. I just wore Yoga, Fleece, and Sweat Pants all the time with big T Shirts. Yuck! I wish someone would have told me how pitiful I looked. Ha!

With CRC, it was the opposite time of year. I was pregnant through the summer. I did buy Maternity clothes when preg with her. Lots of shorts, casual Knit Tops, and Tank Tops. I did, though, give them all away after I had her. I vowed to never be pregnant again and purged all of my Maternity and baby items. Eeek!

This time, i'm smaller everywhere except my belly! It is almost 2x the size it was before, but thankfully my booty and arms have been spared {up until now anyway} So I had to start buying Maternity shirts pretty quickly this time around. I've been wearing my regular jeans though. But the past week or so, they've gotten tight!! I'm so sad.. I wanted to wear them for as long as possible, just to say I did, but it's time to put them away. Wah! I wore Maternity Jeans yesterday and it was like floating on a cloud! {lol!} Soo comfy!

Anyway, I went to Old Navy online and saw they were having a 70% off sale on Maternity clothes! Woo Hoo!! I got 5 shirts and a Cardigan Wrap for $50! Also, they have an option for FREE shipping with a $50 order, so you can bet I did that. I can wait a few more days for my clothes for cheaper shipping.
Below are a few of the things I got.

This was only $7.97!!

As was this..$7.97

{Chris said he wouldn't have picked it for me, but oh well.. Your style has to change a bit for the belly}

This one was a whopping $4.97

{I didn't love it by itself, but I figured it'd be cute under a Wrap or Sweater}

This was $14.97

{Love these! I had two pre pregnancy and wore them with everything! I got the one in Grey though}

The other shirt I bought is now sold out. It fits during pregnancy up until around 6 months, then you can use it post pregnancy as a nursing top. Cool! I feel like I got some good deals. Now, i'm going to keep my eye out for sales on Motherhood Maternity Jeans. They're the only ones I like.

5 Days 'Til Christmas

Weeeeeee!!!! I'm SO excited!! Seriously, I think I am still partly that 5 year old giddy little girl that can't sleep the night before Christmas. That was totally me and i'm still the same way! I LOVE Christmas! I use my kids as excuses to get so excited and go all out decorating and buying gifts, but really, i'd be doing the same thing even if I didn't have kiddos. However, they do make it tons more fun! I love seeing the excitement on their faces. CDC has asked me every single day since we bought the Christmas tree if "Christmas here yet?"

I do already have all of their gifts purchased and wrapped and snugly under the tree, waiting to be torn open. But I do not have my other family members gifts wrapped. I also do not have all of the ingredients for the food i'm going to try and make for Christmas day. That's on the agenda for today...thru Thursday. {wink}

Guess I better get a move on.. after I finish my Creme Brulee Latte, of course. 

Creme Brulee Latte aka My Best Friend!

I will be the first to admit, I am a coffee adict. Normally, I make my own coffee.I'm not high maintenance, you know. {wink} No sugar, no cream, just black, rich coffee. I like that strong taste of the coffee bean. I dont want to fluff it with sweets or dairy. No, not me.

Until, this week. My boss bought us all gift cards to Starbucks. At first, I thought.. "Ok, i'll use it for my regular, black coffee" But when I pulled up I noticed the Creme Brulee Latte. Just the name caught my eye. I decided to venture out and ask about it. The lady at the window told me "It's one of our Holiday specials. A rich, buttery flavor, whipped cream, with caramel candy on top. Hmm... maybe I could try that. {I guess I had a bit of a sweet tooth that day.} I did, though, tell her to please make mine Decaf with Soy and skip the whip. She told me "not a problem" I paid and headed out to try my new treat.

That first sip was glorious! I thought "How could I possibly have gone this long and never tasted this wonderfulness?" I've been every morning since then. And I will continue to go.....until my giftcard runs out because yes, I am that cheap. They are proud of their coffee!! But I will indulge and enjoy until the goodness runs out.
