Adventures in Baby

This past weekend, Liv and I had a fun time dedicated to nothing but Baby (ies). We first hit up the Moms of Multiples sale. I joined this group a few months ago ($25 annual membership fee) and have already gotten some good advice and deals. We were one of the first in line because im having multiples and I am pregnant during the sale. First, my mom and I were only allowed in, and then my sister (liv) came in right after us. We made a bee-line straight for the larger and typically more expensive items. They didnt have the baby jogger stroller I have my eyes on, but I did snag two travel pack-n-plays for $25 each, two crib mattresses ($25 each). Mom got a Contour double stroller, an exersaucer, two bumbo's with trays, two Alabama onesies, and a play mat. All of our finds were less than $350. Pretty nice score!

Then we came home and looked over the future nursery. Here are the before shots.

The glider will go in this corner

We will be painting and decorating in the next few weeks, but i'll keep ya updated on progress. Saturday morning we headed over to one of my favorite places, The Bama Antique & Flea Mall in Leeds. It's a warehouse full of some junk and some treasures. You really never know what you are going to find, but you have to go knowing what you are looking for, or else you get caught up in the clutter. I know I wanted to find some more vintage toys, letters for my alphabet wall, and anything else that was just very cool. Here's what we found!


We couldnt help ourselves here. This was a surprise find that for $20 was a must have for the nursery.

 Vintage toys! I have a small obsession with these. This trip we found the one of the left ($3) and I found the one on the right during my last trip ($2)

 These are actually Avon men's aftershave bottles (that the seller claimed were from the 70's) They are fairly heavy, and the car even has some liquid left inside. Originally they were $16 each, but we got the lady up front to call the seller and I got both for $20. Not bad!

 Here are my letters so far for my alphabet wall. This trip we found the N and the X. I got the U in Rhode Island, and mom found the J, O and V at michaels. It's actually been fun tracking down these letters.

What a great weekend, and I cant wait to get more done in the nursery. Cribs are coming soon! Thanks liv for your creative genius!
