This weekend, Chris was working on his truck and I was left to go to the store with Kaylee alone to scoure the shelves for a birthday present for our niece who was turning two. As I looked at and contemplated between Barbies and dolls I looked down, and behind boxes of Moxie Girlz, I found this gem!
I can not tell you how excited I was over this pillow. I seriously almost died right there in wal-mart. It was then that I realized, I love shopping for Kaylee more than myself anymore. It was the same excitement I feel as I try on a new set of heels or get a new shell for my Miche Bag.
Dont get me wrong... I still have an undying love for the smell of new shoes and the sound you hear as you unwrap the tissue paper inside the box just to see the beautiful new heels stare back at you saying "WEAR ME!" (yes I am also obsessed with shoes but that is a whole other post.)
Now its the excitement of "How cute will this look on her!" or "This would look so good in her room!" or the one I muttered to myself as I put the pillow in our cart "Kaylee needs this!" NEEDS this. Like she will cease to exsist if she doesnt have this adorable pillow with light up cheeks.(mommy wants this is more like it.)
I used to spend my time shopping online for cute shoes, purses, clothes or stuff for the house. Now I spend all my on-line shopping time at Etsy.com (if you have never been on this site, you should go... after you finish reading my blog of course;).) looking at baby clothes, bows for her hair, and toys.
I cant tell you the last time I went shopping for myself. I cant tell you the last time I bought a cute new pair of way to expensive heels. And I wouldn't have it any other way. .
