Almost new kids consigment sale review

So...I went to the sale around 9am the as they grow sale already had a line at that time a month before so I decided to go early. To my surprise no one was in the parking lot or in line. When I looked through the window there was about 15 percent of merchandise compared to the AWTG sale. A worker came up to the window and asked if I wanted to shop? I of course said yes yes lol. The selection was very minimal. I did find what I was looking for though. A graco front facing carseat for only $20. Amazing price....I also found 2 padded bathing suits for 4 each. One for now one for next yr. So, the sale was a success for me. I also got an extra brand new boppy for 10. I got everything I wanted, but for a new mommy it didn't have much to choose from. Not many shoes either. Ill be awaiting the fall sales...hopefully they will be worth the wait.

Suggested cooking reading....

This is my favorite cooking magazine. It always has recipes you actually can make. If you want to impress your dinner guests try a meal from everyday with racheal Ray. There are apps, dinner and dessert all affordable and delicious. If I don't like something she cooks with I improvise with something my family will eat. Yummiest.......

Favorite pesto sauce....

I love love this pesto sauce add it to anything to get extra garlic yummy flavor....just one spoon full make a big flavor difference.....

The body...completely different after having a baby...

Now don't get me wrong I love being a mommy. But the mommy body..well not so much! Not only do I feel like a failure for not losing the 15 pounds of baby weight I'm still dragging around. But I have lost over half of my hairs thickness, and stretch marks...I'm like a California freeway! Ugh.....it's going to take time to get used to the new you my doctor says. This is your body now embrase your new metabolism. Yeah fricken right! New mommies out there, I feel you...it's hard accepting that our bodies were made to create life. And in that process some parts never bounce back, but you are beautiful. You are amazing and we all need to realize how amazing our bodies are. Capable of creating and birthing life....woman power lol

Becoming a better Filipino mommy too....

I am currently trying to be a better Filipino lol. Or should i say Filipina? Shane loves pan cit and this was my second attempt at making it. And let me tell you way better then the first time. It was actually edible. I'm going to attempt to make it again next week for my work potluck. I'll have to see if it passes the test by my professional Filipino coworkers...wish me luck...oh, and Chloe loved it...num num num she said. Nice to know it passed the Irish, Filipino, Puerto Rican toddler test....

Chloe

Having my beautiful baby girl Chloe has been an amazing adventure. She is becoming such a unique person and its amazing to watch her learn and grow.
