So, my mother-in-law (MIL) is the Queen of garage sale-ing. (at least in my opinion) She is actually out sale-ing it up right now. :) She always seems to find the best stuff too. I, on the other hand, have never had much luck at all, and to be honest, have not had all that much interest in trying harder. Until now... Now I have a reason to shop. :) I normally have a hard time shopping anywhere that there is not the utmost organization. Places like TJ Max, etc have never been places that I enjoy going, although I know that you can really get some of the best deals there. I think it's partially an OCD thing, maybe a little bit of ADD - I'm not sure. I just can't ever seem to focus. I have had the same problem with garage sales...the lack of focus. But, I am working on it.
The Rec Center across from my office has what they call a "baby boutique." People rent space and they fill two gyms with garage sale type stuff. It's big and crazy and they even have a shuttle that drives people to the parking lot across the street. There was one in June that I missed. But, luckily, they had another one, so I decided to brave the sales today. I am glad that I did.
I didn't get any big stuff, but I did find lots of very fun outfits. (24 to be exact - for less than 20 dollars) Some of them were only 50 cents!! My personal favorite is one Sleep Bag...Christmas style...brand new, tags still on for 50 cents!! I can hardly wait to put it on our little cupcake.
I was also so lucky this weekend to have mom and my sister come to hang with me for the day. We did some very serious maternity shopping, as I was definitely needing some clothes. And, I have to say, thanks to some pushing from my mom to try on certain items, I now have myself quite a wardrobe to get me through the next three months. (And hopefully some of the next couple of pregnancies as well.) :) I was having a bit of a hard time finding maternity stuff, as it seemed like most of it is all online now and I need to try stuff on! JCPenney's was the answer to this dilemna and surprisingly an amazing success with everything more than 50% off! Woo-hoo! Thank you Mom & Melissa for a great day!

Hey DIL...Way to go Garage Sale PRINCESS says "the Queen"...your comment was pretty funny to me. You got 24 outfits ???...YIKES, I hope between us we didn't buy all the same sizes. I've only been able to "shop" three times since we've known it was a girl and one of those days all I saw was little boys stuff........but, there's always next summer. Wahooo !!!
Can't wait to see you this weekend. I couldn't have picked a more perfect wife for my son or mother for our grandbaby. God sure knows what He's doing.
