Shopping Partner

My shopping partner and I had hit HomeGoods, Bed, Bath, and Beyond, and two Targets- all before lunch. We were a busy duo looking for decorating odds and ends for her bedroom and my new office.

We didn't have any luck during our morning shopping blitz, although I was sorely tempted to get the pink and green throw pillows at HomeGoods when Grace hugged them and said, "Mama, I LOVE it!"

As soon as Grace got up from her nap, we hit our third Target for the day. This is where we finally hit the jackpot. I found the perfect window valance for my office nook and living room and they were on clearance for five dollars. Five dollars! I thought I also found the perfect area rug to cozy up my office space, but it didn't quite fit right, so the search continues for that.

I did find the most darling bedding set for Grace's big girl bed. I'm holding off on them until they go on sale, but I'm just glad I finally found something. Now I have to keep a close eye on them and wait until I can get them for a better deal. And seeing as how I go to Target about ten times a week, there's no way I'll miss them when they do go on sale.

A productive shopping day for me and my shopping partner. Tomorrow, we're hitting up Pottery Barn and Ballard Designs!

It's a rare day that goes by when there isn't some sort of scene of destruction caused by Grace. I was in the bathroom for thirty seconds, tops, and this is what I walked out to. She knows ripping up books is a bigger offense than pulling out wipes so she immediately ran up to me asking for hugs, hoping to prevent any outbursts/disciplinary action from me. And sucker that I am, it worked.
