    I will probably be bumping most of the day. My husband decide to invite his siste over and they want the whole shebang. So I promptly bought a Jennie-O turkey breast that cooks in it's own bag in the slow cooker and decided he can deal with all of the sides. Though, let's be fair--my MIL makes everything from frozen/box mixes, so he won't exactly be slaving.

    I plan on wearing sweatpants and fuzzy slippers all day while watching "Planes Trains and Automobiles" and "It's A Wonderful Life". And demanding snacks and refills of water from my husband. I figure it is only fair since every other Thanksgiving I end up in the kitchen with the women responsible for keeping the men in snacks and drinks while we spend the entire day cooking dinner. ;)

    @katieharpiceland I tried replying to your pomegranate seed post earlier but lost Internet connection right as I hit "post". Anyhow I have bought pomegranate seeds from trader joes and drizzled melted chocolate over them and froze them. Extra delicious!

    Went to the outlet mall with DH tonight to shop for ourselves. Spent $70 on DS instead. Welcome to your futures ladies. ;)

    But for real. I got a $70 heavy winter coat for DS next winter for $15 at Osh Kosh. Win!

    Score!

    I've cooked all day, and then at 5:15 realized that I still had to make dinner. Whoops!! Skillet lasagna it is.. Whew.

    Pomegranates creep me out... I can't figure them out. I'm okay adding the POM juice to smoothies, but... Little bursty seeds. Ick. Also? Cherry tomatoes? Can't even eat. The explode in my mouth! OMG, I'm making myself sick... Eeeehh..

    I've had to stop inhaling my meals in 5 minutes because it's giving me crazy indigestion and heartburn. But I'm doing good today! My food is actually getting cold because I'm eating so slowly... Good and bad!

    Were waiting for DH to get home so we can drive for 2 hours to his dads house. He STILL isn't home from work which closed at 10. Come the f on!

    Oh and DD (3yo) is still awake and didn't take a nap today so she will sleep the whole way over. Thank god she is being good. And now he is feeding me popcorn. Best daughter ever award goes to Lia!

    So I was completely unimpressed with Buy Buy Baby. DH and I went and started a registry there today and I just find them terribly overpriced and we really found nothing that we loved enough to put on the registry. We did find some really cute clothes there at a good deal that we scanned anyway. So I figure we will not add that registry to our shower invites and just go by what we need with the discounts afterwards. Just didn't see the appeal of that store...I guess we are just a little too thrifty (ie broke) for BBB

    So happy! I solved my biggest nursery décor stress (cue #firstworldproblems) by chance today, and it set off a decorating frenzy in me! I've been pinning up a storm, and have the whole nursery planned out now! Now I'm sitting here going, "Come onnnnnn black Friday sale! Baby needs a good deal on a crib!" I'm totally channeling David Bromstad and looking for design inspiration in unlikely places.

    SO EXCITED!

    What did you solve?! I have a ton of ideas but I can't seem to pick just one direction.

    @biggerinreallife that's awesome! Meanwhile I spent the day reading reviews and searching for the perfect upright carpet shampooer so I can clean my carpets. I'm so excited to have clean stain free carpet!

    DH found a mickey mouse travel system at walmart...I love it but I'm also torn because I can't even tell what brand it is, and I lean towards the identifiable ones like Graco or Chicco where I can get safety ratings and buy additional bases....So torn because the Mickey system is cheaper as well....


    versus


    Also, the Graco pattern also has the pack n play and high chair and swing I want...there's nothing else in the same pattern as the mickey except a basic high chair....
    The walmart one is made by Cosco Juvenile, good car seats for the price. The safest car seat is the one that fits baby and your car and is used properly 100% of the time.
