Amazing Finds....

For those of you who don't know me all that well... I am a super, duper tight wad. Wadded up so tight that purchasing things out of our "monthly budget envelopes" happens rarely... and quite frankly puts a lot of stress on me because I am also a super, duper indecisive weanie. haha, can't believe I just wrote that :) So indecisive, in fact, that my sisters make fun of me because when I DO break down and get something decorative and cute for the house, it stays stashed away in a closet for weeks (or often times months) because I can't decide the perfect place to put it. A BabyGAP giftcard for Sienna's birthday sat in my purse for a whole 6 months because I just could NOT decide the perfect outfit. After several trips to BabyGAP and surfing on the net, I had Justin come along and he quickly spent the gift card on an outfit for our girly. I'm THAT bad.

Anyways- Sienna and I were out this week to get the good ole' oil changed. We waited patiently (as patiently as a 16 month old can wait) fed her mounds of cheerios, a carton of yogurt, and what seemed like an entire sleeve of crackers. When the car was done, Sienna and her full tummy were still in good spirits so we headed to this itty bitty store, called Tuesday Mornings, that was in the same parking lot. I ventured in there seeing a sign that read, "50% OFF ALL CLEARANCE ITEMS" That always makes my heart happy :)

I walk into pure chaos and began venturing down the isles. Can I just boast real quickly about a few amazing finds?!?! Pretty please?

This is by far more than what Sienna got on Christmas Day or her birthday!!! (Are we absolutely horrible, we didn't buy her anything?!? I know, hold your gasps. She didn't know the difference so we figured we would take advantage of her naivety ... we will just call these a few belated presents).

This beauty made me smile :) I've been looking for a little wooden kitchen for quite some time, but the prices were just too high. I like to stick to neutral, but this was to precious to pass up!!

So, long story short, a quick trip out (that wasn't going to include ANY shopping...) included some big time purchases for our big-eyed cutie petutie. Justin was please with the deals and some fun, new summer toys for Sienna. Needless to say, she loved it. She will walk in and see her new toys after her nap and gasp like it's the first time she has seen them :) Ahhh the little things :)

Anyway- thanks for listening to me boast. I had to share my excitement!!
