Success after IF

GTKY poll!

I know I promised this would be on Tuesdays, and it will... eventually. My summer schedule is a bit crazy and I know I won't be around much tomorrow so wanted to get this posted early!

Found out that H&M is now available ONLINE. If you haven't checked it out already, their baby clothes are TO DIE FOR and are cheap, cheap, cheap. While we all love Baby Gap, sometimes a $57.00 onesie is a bit impractical (especially if every outfit is covered by a giant burpy bib... *happy spitter problems*). And this brings us to GTKY: Shopaholic Edition!
