Ask And You Shall Receive

Out of all of the cribs in America, the one I am after has been discontinued! Before Rhylan was born, I purchased a beautiful cherry wood, camel-back crib with the matching dresser. It was pretty pricey, but very high quality. After all, kids tend to have nicer furniture than the parents, right? 

I went back to Babies R Us recently to buy another one, because I want my babies to have matching beds and of course, it has been discontinued. I realize it's been 3 years, but several of the same cribs were still there! 

I got online and spent HOURS trying to locate this crib! I went through every site on every page of Google only to find that it was a lost cause! I'm sure some people probably wouldn't make a big deal out of their kids' furniture matching, but anyone who knows me knows that I can be a little bit of a perfectionist when it comes to decor, so I was determined!

I decided to just throw in the towel and come to terms with the fact that I was not going to be able to find this crib. Then out of nowhere, one turned up! A lady in Wentzville has THREE of this crib, because she has a set of twins followed by an infant! She is selling hers to me for half of what I paid for mine and it's immaculate. Her baby has barely slept in it and she has been wanting to change her nursery to white furniture. I definitely feel like it's meant to be! Ask and you shall receive, right?

So this weekend, I will be heading that way to bring it home! Nursery furniture? CHECK! 
Now it's on to stocking the nursery with baby essentials!

What I Learned from Frugal January

While I don't believe in new year resolutions, I do believe in goals, aspirations and dreams. As a society, we're made to feel that with each new year, we must make resolutions, which more often than not, fade by March or set us up for failure. The feeling of failure is never good for the spirit, so a couple of years ago, I decided to stop giving in to that societal pressure. I have found that self-reflection is an excellent place to begin a new year and set realistic goals. This year, I started by challenging myself to what I named Frugal January. It's exactly what it sounds like. I challenged myself to only spend on necessities. I gave up runs to the coffee shop and trips to TJ Maxx. I gave up frivolous, careless and impulse-based spending, no matter how big or small it was. I asked myself one question with every single purchase decision, "do I really need this?" If I could live without it, I declined it. Did this cause me physical pain at times? Yes! There were...

2023 Taking Care of Me

For me, 2023 has been a year of conquering fears and making lifestyle changes. As parents, how often do we place ourselves on the back burner? It's so common and I am 100% guilty of it. This year, something inside of me clicked. Maybe it's the whole "wisdom with age" thing. Maybe it's finally getting the courage to go to therapy. Perhaps, it's a little bit of both. For me, it happened with a 3-step plan. It's a plan that terrified me, but I held myself accountable and put the plan into action.  Step 1: Medical Health January 2023, the 4th to be exact, started with a wellness visit to my primary care doctor. Was I even allowed to refer to her as that when I hadn't paid her a visit since 2018? Yes. 2018. Of course, we had the whole pandemic thing in the mix, but we can only use that excuse for so long. I hadn't had a women's well check since 2018. I was having all kinds of strange symptoms, that I told myself was just the downward spiral to 40 (n...
