So, I’m pretty sure none of us like to pay full price for anything.
I mean really? Why do that when you can save a boatload using coupons,
match ups, and sales?
I shop on Sundays. If I’m lucky, Saturdays…
and when pigs fly, on Fridays.
That just how it is for our family.
I try to get my mom to shop with me as often as possible
when she is home from offshore.
So we can cut shopping time in half by working as a team.
{Now, if we could just stay off the “clearance” aisle.}
On the 13th of this month I made my weekly pilgrimage to
Wal-Mart.
Now that they have their new
and I wanted to try my hand at a second trip.

The apron is simply adorable, the cupcake on the front of it is a little pocket and Little Girl loved to stick her “recipes” into it while “cooking. I chose a bigger size so she may grow into it and enjoy for a longer amount of time. The fabric I chose is soft and I have even washed it once when Little Boy smeared banana on it. I just used a gentle cycle and let it hang-dry. Overall I love the Itty Bitty Bakers line and would recommend it to mothers who want their children to have quality play-things. She offers an assortment of items to fit many budgets, whether you are looking for an addition to your child’s make-believe collection or need a gift for an upcoming celebration. Wendy is super easy to communicate with and ships the items in a timely manner. Since the items are already packaged beautifully, there really is no need to “wrap” them if giving as a gift, in my opinion.
It looks pitiful.
