Shopping

I'm not crazy really. I can't stand the malls after thanksgiving and I don't like being broke for the holidays, so I start my Christmas shopping in July. It starts with a list (yes I do check it twice) and from there I research what I plan to buy to get the best price. By August I'm already crossing items off of that list so by the end of Novemer I only have to buy stocking stuffers. :) Sounds good right? :)

While I was out shopping/ researching I saw this at Burlington Coat Factory. I was pricing their baby stuff since I have two new baby cousins. Many of you don't know this, but when I was little I loved teddy bear ballerinas and my mom even threw me a teddy bear ballerina birthday party. I was given a stuffed animal that looks like one of the bears in this blanket and my mom made a cake to look like a teddy bear ballerina. I even had a piggy bank of a teddy bear ballerina dancing. If I ever have kids and end up with a girl she'll probably have teddy bear ballerinas too. :)


Now this was something I couldn't pass up and couldn't wait till christmas. I got mom this Tinkerbell lunch box as a going back school present. She was all smiles!
