It's Hot....and smokey!

All's well on the baby front today. But thanks to the Northern California fires we are catching a lot of smoke here in the valley. I just hope they get them under control soon! But there's like 1000 fires burning throughout the state so this might be the norm for a bit!

On to a happier topic, baby shopping! Nothing cheers me up more these days than that! As I've mentioned previously, I still had gift cards to burn and a list of things to buy. So back to Wal*Mart! This time I chose to cruise the website because the items left on my list were sold exclusively online. Oh sure, they say "available in most stores", but according to the store locator the items were not sold anywhere within a 100 mile radius! Thankfully they offer free shipping to the store so I don't have to shell out the extra funds to UPS.

My first agenda was to locate a new infant car seat. The one we were planning on using, come to find out, was set to expire soon. As unthrilling as that was, it was a good thing we found that out before we used it. So I chose the new Graco Snugride in Betsey. It's a cute pattern with pinks and solid chocolate browns and perfect for a little princess! Then on to storage solutions. I found these really cute collapsible storage cubes in pink and lavender. Which is great, since that's the nursery colors! Since I pretty much filled the rest of the list on my last trip I splurged the remaining balance on a new toddler bed set for my 2 year old. He has a major thing for Thomas the train, and Wal*Mart had a great deal on a set for him. All in all, it was a great shopping 'trip' to the website!

My next adventure? Finding the perfect outfit for her to come home in. Sounds easy right? Not so much! Since she's my first girl and my first summer baby I'm totally unsure about what to buy her! Once I figure it out I'll be sure to update!
