the joys of retail therapy...


Daddy in training :0)
Awww baby doll for our Lil' Cupcake 
(Here's a picture of baby doll)
                                                             
 OK so I have been shopping (a lot!)
On my defense, I am expecting a little girl :0) Who can possibly argue against that? Shopping makes me feel as if something is really happening with our adoption- it makes it fees more real (does that make any sense?) 
I figure retail therapy is less expensive than going to see a therapist to discuss how I am coping with the adoption process :0)

Here’s how I rationalize shopping
Me shopping = splurge
Purchases for baby= necessary :0)

Thanks to my dear husband, one of the things I try to keep in mind when making purchases is quality (of course every item must be cute as well)
My Honey has taught me a lot about the harmful effects caused by chemicals and byproducts used in many products purchased and how they can affect health and wellness so I try to keep that in mind when buying stuff especially for our kiddo.  

I am not a self-proclaimed tree huger or anything like that Just want to make sure am making better choices to keep our family and home healthy.
I purchased several Under the Nile organic pieces of clothing for our baby girl.
(can’t wait to get them)


I am not saying I will be buying all organic either(there are  quite a few baby outfits that the baby needs :o) and they are not organic so I guess we have to make some sacrifices but I will definitely stick with organics when we buy Bedding, Pajamas, Undershirts & socks, Diapers (or undies),Baby toiletries such as shampoo/body wash/lotion etc. Other organics we will focus on besides the food of course will be baby items such as sippy cups, bowls, etc.

Organic can be costly but they are well worth the cost.

We are so glad about our decision to have a shower of Hope instead of a regular baby shower, donations for a good cause makes more sense to us.
By the way, we just noticed that the singer Shakira and her baby's daddy are doing something similar but for UNISEF!
