I Splurged...

...on baby fashion. This morning I ordered my diaper bag from Nordies!! I am sooooo excited about it! Every year for my birthday I get a gift card to Nordies from a good friend and for a while, I had no idea what to do with it. I don't usually shop at Nordies much but as the years passed I have now come to really embrace the Nordies gift card now that I have discovered their shoe and purse departments! I now have a tradition each birthday to look for a new purse or pair of shoes that I normally wouldn't buy. In my current state, I am not up to wearing high heels nor do I really need a new purse so my attention turned to another department, the baby department. And that is when I discovered the diaper bags.

The moms on my forum were talking about "the best" diaper bags and two names unfamiliar to me popped up. According to these ladies, a gal just needs to get a Petunia Pickle Bottom or JuJu Be diaper bag. I googled the names to see what all the fuss was about and it looked like some high falutin' bag to me. But then, I noticed they could be bought at Nordies (and I just so happened to have a fresh gift card ready to be run through the credit machine) so I took another peak at these fancy bags and after looking at all the varies shapes, sizes and features, I just fell in love with this diaper bag!!!

Called the Petunia Pickle Bottom Cake - Hampton Holdall Diaper Bag...



The name alone, "Cake" reminded me of a tea party (the ones I used to have with my grandma) and all the tea parties I am gonna have with "my daughter." (I can't help but love saying the word "daughter." I think I have told everyone this week about "my daughter.") Not to mention, the bag will forever remind me of all the great pieces of red velvet cake I have eaten lately (thank you, Sprinkles, Larchmont Bungalow and hubby's sushi red velvet cake).

Anyhow, it's such a splurge, but I think us girls need to treat ourselves every once in a while. I am not going to be buying any high falutting shoes or purses for a while so why not splurge for a diaper bag which I will be using for 3 years!! Anyhow, I can't wait to get it!!!

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

What is Twilight?

I have loved movies and worked in movies and I consider myself knowledgable about movies but I have no idea what this whole Twilight craze is all about. Do you? I know it's something to do about vampires and that it's the new Harry Potter but what the heck is it? All of the sudden everywhere I go I hear about Twilight. They are interviewing talent on the radio and I have no idea who these stars are. It's like Hollywood grew a new list of talent over night and didn't tell me. Anyhoo, that movie opened last night to gang buster numbers but yet, I have no idea. I have no idea about the Jonas Brothers either. Am I getting old? I guess so.
