Road Trip!

Last week, we took an impromptu drive up to Canada to see the Niagara Falls with the babies. It was our first "day-cation" with the babies, and I must say went quite smoothly!

Chris looks thrilled....

Mommy happy to be getting out of the house on a random Thursday! Braeden kicking daddy in the crotch....

We later switched over to the double stroller for fears of future fertility problems!

Checking out the Falls!

The ladies!

Me and my girl

Beautiful!

Whoops....left zoom on!

We left without buying anything! Yay, willpower!

Crossing the border where we witnessed racial profiling at its finest....

Braeden passed out before we got back to the States!

One random story from our trip.....While Braeden was running around the park, Ashlyn got hungry so I started breastfeeding her right in broad daylight. Now, I normally do not breastfeed in public, and when I do I use a nursing cover. However, I didn't have a cover with me, and I felt liberated being in a different country so I went for it. I was not flashing my boobs around...I was being discreet about it. As Ashlyn is eating, three Muslim men walk into the park to do their afternoon prayers. I felt so awkward and worried I was offending them! Luckily, they didn't seem to care or notice. But I have learned a valuable lesson, I am modest and am not the type that is carefree enough to just whip my boob out without warning! Timed perfectly, the very next day, the babysteal of the day was a hooter hider for 50% off....I snagged on without thinking twice!

Baby Straight Jackets

Have I mentioned how much I love swaddle blankets? They are a lifesaver....Ashlyn sleeps best when she is all cuddled up in her Halo swaddle blanket. She is a bit of a wiggle worm and manages to get her arms out of other brands...but the Halo ones are like baby straight jackets! So I give Halo my stamp of approval.....plus, they are doing great work spreading the news about Back to Sleep (from what I understand the creator lost a child to SIDS).

Today, http://www.babysteals.com/ had Halo swaddle blankets up for sale for 50% off! Of course, I snatched one up! I don't think they are sold out either if anyone is in need of a baby straight jacket/most wonderful baby product ever!

My little Houdini isn't getting out of this contraption!

What a Steal!

Yet another great find at babysteals today! I scored 6 pairs of babylegs ...three pretty pink pairs and three patriotic pairs. And they will be here just in time for July 4th!!

Baby Steals

I have been meaning to post a blog entry about a site that I love.....



Every day starting at 9am MST, a new deal is offered. Usually a baby item is priced 50-80% off and up for grabs. Today the deal is 81% (!) off a crib set. It is cute, but I don't need it. For $44 I was tempted though!

Lately some of the good deals I have seen include very cute diaper bags, wraps, swaddling blankets, and much much more. The baby goods are of high quality....many you find at those very chic baby boutiques. So this is a great way to get nice baby stuff without shelling out too much money.

Just one piece of advice....make sure to check the site early in the day because by afternoon many of the offers are sold out. Happy shopping everyone!
