Throwback Thursday…Midnight Puke!

Subj: Puke!
Date: 03/06/2006

Hi Cousin,
Kate was up all night puking. It was awful. She puked about 2 seconds before I left for work, too. Andy stayed home with her. We heard her barf over the monitor at about 11:30 last night, and the poor baby was covered from head to toe with puke. It was terrible. She really enjoyed getting her hair washed in the middle of the night. Ugh.
Well, I love you. I hope you are having a better day than I am!

Works for Me Wednesday: Love, Carter’s

This Works for Me Wednesday has a theme – brand loyalty. One brand that I am extremely loyal to is Carter’s clothes for infants. Once they get past 18 months or so I start broadening my kids’ wardrobe horizons, but before that, chances are if I’m buying it, it’s Carter’s. I love their layette patterns. When Joshua was a baby I was obsessed with the “About a Bear” and “Just Duckie” patterns. With Sophia, it was the Carter’s “Pretty Blue.” When it started to go on clearance I bought up everything I could find in bigger sizes so that she could wear it as long as humanly possible. The clothes are not only adorable, but of a very high quality for the price. In my experience, the onesies are stretchy and durable enough to fit my kids longer than their prescribed size tag says they will (Joshua was on the smaller side, but Sophia is chunkier and this was still true for her.) The one-piece rompers and sunsuits are perfect for summer and the one-piece fleece coveralls are snuggly and warm in the wintertime. Most of my kids’ pajamas are Carter’s also, even Joshua’s now that he is wearing 3T. They just seem to last longer and are oh-so-cute! So, its Carter’s for me…I wish they’d stop coming out with such cute stuff though…this almost makes me want to pop out another baby…almost…
