Productivity is Awesome

This was brand new with tags!

Yes, I said it. Productivity IS awesome, especially when starts in the morning and ends in the early afternoon. Will actually discovered a multi-family garage sale that was happening in our neighborhood that was selling baby clothes and maternity wear. We got there at 8:15 and there were already a ton of people there! Now, I have to give the people having the garage sale props because usually when people in Texas say they have having a huge garage sale, I'm incredibly disappointed when I walk up and learn that they are selling like 5 items. This garage sale was actually big! We ended up getting a few maternity clothes and a bunch of baby clothes. After I brought the maternity clothes home to try them on I was slightly disappointed because they didn't really meet my standards in terms of fit. However, the baby clothes are awesome. I took pictures of my three favorite outfits. I will admit, shopping for gender neutral clothing isn't as fun as I imagine shopping for gender specific clothing is BUT, we were able to find some really cute clothes non-the-less.

and Jack and it was only $1!

After we got back from our one garage sale, we actually skyped for the first time ever with my parents. It was fun to be able to actually show them some of the things that we have bought so far. My mom insisted on seeing my baby belly so that was probably nice for her...uncomfortable for me. Right after we hung up with my parents we discovered the front door was open and two of our dogs had escaped at some point. Now, this was fairly anti-productive but after searching the neighborhood for about 10 minutes we returned home to find the dogs speeding around the backyard like maniacs.

Following our foray into panic moments of yelling our dogs name throughout the neighborhood, I decided to attack a project that I have been wanting to do for a while. Let me first say that I love Pinterest! There are so many organizational and crafty ideas that I desperately want to try. One of those is a window cover for our back door. The only homeowner generously left the plastic stained glass cover that they used. I appreciate their thoughtfulness but it was incredibly ugly. I wish I would have taken a before and after picture but I wanted to get rid of the previous cover so bad I ripped it off before I even thought about taking a picture. I did, of course take some after pictures. I'm not creative enough to make my own designs so I stole the designs from the person who had the original idea on Pinterest. I'm pretty excited about it and I think it came out well. All for under $10!
