Yard Sale Finds

I have a blog that I follow and she always posts the yard sale deals that she finds, and I really love reading those posts from her, so I thought it would be fun to do my own!




At one yard sale I found the cutest little raincoat for $1 for Bailey. I don't usually buy her ANY clothes, because we have so many from Zoe, but we don't have a raincoat, so I had to have it. :)


Also, at the same yard sale, I got her 4 Sandra Boynton books (50 cents a piece), which we love!











We happened across one yard sale that was mostly random junk (as my husband would say, "Here, YOU throw this away!", I'm sure you know the kind I'm talking about) but I found a jewel amongst the junk.


I found a Tupperware Serving Center Set, which retails for $40 (I got it for $2)! I have always wanted one of these, but just was never willing to cough up the money for it. My mom always served condiments for tacos in hers, good memory!













And my steal of the day would be 3 nursing bras that I got for $1, total! I think one, maybe two of them will work for me. I knew they might not fit when I bought them, but I figured for $1, I couldn't pass them up.

Loving yard sale season! What good finds have you come across?

33 Weeks

I have been really slacking on the blog, including the pregnancy updates, but I'm trying to get back on board again, so here is my 33 week update...


How Far Along: 33 Weeks

Size of baby: the size of a pineapple (a little over 4 pounds) and over 17 inches

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I think I am at about 13 pounds gained now

Maternity Clothes: I am liking being pregnant during the summertime since I can just wear stretchy shorts and big t-shirts!

Gender: Boy, we have a definite first name, but no middle name yet. We are keeping the name a secret till he is born. :)

Movement: Most days he is moving a lot. Definitely starting to run out of room cause sometimes it's painful!

Sleep: Still sleeping pretty well most nights, though I'm always up at least once a night for a visit to the bathroom.

What I miss: Nothing.

Cravings: Nothing really.

Symptoms: Have started noticing some heartburn a couple of times. I also got some heartburn towards the end of the pregnancy with Bailey, so I was expecting it.

Best Moment this week: It's not pregnancy related, but Anthony, Bailey, and I went to Chili's and for ice cream on Friday to celebrate our 5 year anniversary, and we had the best time. I love spending time doing fun things with the 3 of us, and I'm trying to enjoy this time as much as possible before baby comes!

Well, this picture is 4 weeks late, but better late than never, right?? :)

Meal Plan Monday

Oh my, I've been the biggest blog slacker lately. Last week I was working part-time most all week so that's my excuse for that, but no excuse other than that. I'm glad I don't always work, cause I just couldn't handle it! Last week, I didn't even make a meal plan and we ate out TOO much! I'm still working this week, but trying to get back on the meal planning, even though it's harder when I'm gone much of the day.

Monday
Hot Dogs
Chips

Tuesday
Fish Tacos
Spanish Rice

Wednesday
Dinner at Mom's-- I have some pancakes in the freezer there

Thursday
Girls Night Out @ Shenandoah Pizza, Split Banana, and Coffee on the Corner!

Friday
Will be at Mom's preparing for the yardsale Saturday morning

Saturday
Candace's wedding!


Okay, so now that I look at it, this is a super easy week for me. Hooray!

Monday
Eggs & Sausage

Tuesday
Fish Tacos

Wednesday
Honey-Soy Braised Pork Shoulder (except I'm using pork stew meat, ended up not having this last week)

Thursday
Smoked Sausage, Potatoes, Peppers, & Onions

Friday/Saturday
Bailey is staying w/ Ganny Friday night since Anthony & I are doing SAT's on Saturday (which means an EARLY morning), so one of these days will probably fast food for dinner and one will be easy spaghetti, depending on when Bailey goes to Ganny's and when we get done w/ SAT's
