Christmas in New York!! & more shopping!

Oh what a wonderful time we had!!! Tallulah did great on the trip up there and we had tons of fun!! No big snow but it was still beautiful. I love all my in laws :)



This is the first week of me staying home and so far I am LOVING it!! I am loving the fact that Lula and I get to play together, that I have time to cook and clean and even nap.

Today I went shopping for the first time since we got home and I even added Rite-Aid to the list of stores because of an awesome deal I found online. So here it goes.....

First stop was Rite-Aid where I feel like 1 (out of 3) transactions didn't come out right. Boo. But it was still a good trip....just could have been better.
