Musings about Monday

You can get nursing supplies, laundry detergent and even cribs.  Whatever you need they've got it and generally much cheaper than other places, even the online outlets.  I  generally do a decent amount of online shopping because you can't beat the convenience. However, last night I made it out to a real store!

We also made it to Five Below where I was able to score some Easter supplies. I found cute cards and some favors that I tend to distribute at the National Aviary Breakfast with the Easter Bunny event this Saturday.  Since I'll be around so many moms, I might as well promote the blog, don't you think?!
