Let’s Talk Shopping!
Pic of the Day ~ Becca and Daddy ~Most days I am pretty home sick, yet somehow I just know that I am going to miss shopping here. Canada has stores, we do! However, not like Southern California! Combine that with some improve your mental health on Black Friday, healing shopping and well this good old Canadian girl was in heaven!
Target was amazing even in the afternoon! There were deals left, right, CENTRE … oh gosh it was frightful. It is so hard to have any element of control when you see deals like those! We did get some Christmas presents, oh and OMG! We purchased TWO seasons of the Simpsons for $6 a piece?!?!? The cashier made an error we think, but we are chalking it up to good old fashion karma!
We were on a mission though. Remember earlier
this week I feared Becca was getting ill. UGH! I was right. Normally I take great satisfaction being right. This time not so much. Anyway…we had to get a new humidifier. Ours not being the kid friendly kind and also not pumping out the steamy goodness like it should. So we purchased this cute Penguin! Sadly upon returning home the sucker was broken (don’t you hate it when stores place BROKEN merchandise back on the shelves, nasty I say!) however I went out in the evening and exchanged it at another Target! hehe! Isn’t the Penguin cute!??!
Thanks so much for all your kind comments. It was just a terrible place to be at that moment and my blog is my cheap therapy. Terrible but not terrible. I know that my heart will never forget, so it is nice to honour the one we lost even if it hurts to do so.
Check out the new digs?!?! Ehhhh! I worked on this theme for a while. Drawing snow digitally … it’s hard to do. However, with a little determination I finally worked it all out. Can you tell at all I miss Canada?!?! hehe!
I worked my butt off this morning so that J could take all the Christmas packages to the mail! w00t all presents are on their way to Canada!
shopping during the christmas is soo fun! if it’s snowing it will be more nicer
Great job on the theme!! We also hit Target on Black Friday but can you believe that i didn’t buy even ONE thing?? The Beetle did score a video game as a gift from my parents tho… heh.
Very nice job on the theme! You’re amazing ~ more every day!
Glad you got some deals - I wish I could get that penguin here for Rylan!
Hey - just so you know, you still have bakerblog in your sidebar…
And, we LOVE LOVE LOVE the towel you guys got for Rylan. It’s so nice and big, and I like the shape better than the triangular ones. So, thanks!!
I LOVE the new theme!! Makes me feel all Christmassy!! The humidifier is really cute as well! Shopping sounds wonderful! I am very jealous as everything is so expensive here!
I love love love your new look! It is amazing. I can see why it took you so long to perfect it.
Love the new Christmas theme - you did a great job!!
the penguin humidifier is cute - need to look for one for Kayla’s room instead of the big old one that is in there now!
Oh I meant to comment about yesterday’s picture - something doesn’t seem right with Becca wearing a summer dress and putting ornaments on the tree!
our humidifier is the same all except for the awesome penguin shape… awesome. But hope there aren’t too many times you need to use it this winter.
Great new digs…I love the holiday theme….
You know, I saw that humidifier in target yesterday and wanted it for SF’s room…now, I’ll HAVE TO buy it.
Beautiful new website! I’m always amazed at how terrific American shopping is! There are good and bad things to anywhere you could live - any chance of you being able to move back to Canada someday?
I love, love, LOVE your new template. Did I say how much I love it?
Love the new theme!! And the penguin. Sorry Becca is feeling ill.
great catching up with waht you’ve been up too-fantastic Christmas graphics…you are so gifted!
I love that picture of Becca and her daddy!
Thank you for saying Target and not Wal.Mart! A lot of people I know went to Wal.Mart and I just can’t stand that place. Deal or no deals, they could be giving away a 42 inch plasma screen tv and I wouldn’t step foot in that place… But I love Target!
Love what you have done with the place. I am so jealous that you are ahead of the game with all your Christmas shopping. I still have to day, wrap and send things halfway across the world!
…let the decking of the halls beginneth!(I have not yet begunneth).

I hope you have a safe and joyous pregnancy. Blessings to you Sue
I LOVE the new look! It’s like a brand new party dress - sooooo pretty!
Did you know that Target has a Hello Kitty humidifier now? I ALMOST bought one for Sophia, even though she doesn’t need it. But she will at some point, right?
Right?
I read your previous post, and I’m so glad everything is okay. :). $6 for Simpsons? That is a great deal!
Love the change; you’re so creative!
Wow, I’m jelous. I’ve never been shopping on Black Friday. You think that would have been something I’ve done, living so close to the border. One of these years I will have to go, lol.
The design is awesome!!!
What you don’t miss Canadian Tire and Shopper’s Drug Mart? hee hee. The penguin humidifier is so cute!
I love, love, love the Holiday design! You are very talented.
