Please Tell Me...

Please tell me you guys have done this before because I just can't be the only one.
This has happened twice to me now and I just feel ridiculous about it.

I am shopping and Brooklyn is in her carseat sleeping and the diaper bag is in the main part of the cart. I am getting my groceries and just start putting stuff in around the carseat and diaper bag. I check out, get my bags, and head out to the car. I load the groceries in the car and then take Brooklyn out to put her in the car and I find stuff I haven't paid for. It slid underneath her carseat or the diaper bag and there it is. First time, it was pie crust and the second time it was shampoo. I try to check everywhere but something always seems to slip underneath the carseat and in my hurry I just miss it. I feel so dumb but at this point Brooklyn is buckled in and I am in a hurry to get her home. For those of you with small children you know how difficult it is to repack it all and get back in there when they could wake up at any moment and start to cry. Now of course I don't want to steal from these stores so my next visit goes a little like this:

Me: So I need you to ring this pie crust up but leave it here. I just want to pay for it.
Cashier: Ok...whatever you want I guess.
Me: Well last time I was here it didn't get rung up correctly so I want to pay for it but not take it.
Cashier: Ok... (awkward stares and silence after this.)

hahaha I felt so uncomfortable and they thought I was crazy. What is a girl to do?

At least this little girl loves me, right?

    Girl, this has happened to me a few times. Most of the time, Mason has thrown something in my diaper bag and I don't notice it. I asked once at the store what I should do, and they said not to worry about it. The important thing is that you try not to do it! Honest mistake!!

    This has been done by me too...but worse for me is caleb is cranky in he store so I give him something to shake or play with in the cart. I check out, and go to the car, and when I get home I realize the thing I had given caleb he threw on the ground in the store without my knowing!! So I never really have everything I need....I try to give him things I won't need next time. lol!

    Totally happened to me at Target a couple weeks ago. Rex's hair gel found its way under Alice's car seat. So, I left the hair gel the car and and when I went back to Target I just put it in my cart and proceeded shopping. :-) I'm glad you posted about this. All the comments are like a support group!

    P.S. CUTE picture of you and Brooklyn!

    Yep YESTERDAY hahaha Luckily James was with me so I ran in and paid for the ethernet cable we meant to buy! But once I forgot something inside the house right after lugging Thomas and the massive car seat out. I was tempted to run in and leave Thomas but alas my common sense kicked in but my muscles were angry. Moms....

    I haven't done it.... YET! But my best friend does it all the time. She has 3 kids so there's no way she would go back in the store to pay for it. She said she just leaves it in the cart. But I think you have the best idea to just pay for it next time you go!

Wise Men Still Seek Him Free Printable

By
UPDATE:  Hello Everyone! I have noticed that this post has been receiving a lot of traffic via pinterest and The Dating Divas Website. I wanted to welcome you all. I still do free printables for different seasons and holidays but no longer post them on my personal blog. We'd love it if you'd follow along on our design journey. You can find us on Facebook !

Big News!

By
So this is big news for the Power family. I know many of you know a million other people who are currently pregnant but before you roll your eyes and skip over this post completely (ha), read on and hear a little bit about our story. I am currently 20 weeks pregnant. We just found out yesterday that we are expecting a baby girl. She is due to enter this world on January 3, 2012. So far she is healthy and growing strong. She is growing about a week ahead of schedule. Maybe she'll come early...like before the end of the year. Derek and I will celebrate our 3rd anniversary on the 16th of January...so not too long after our sweet girl is born. A little about us: Derek: One of the things I love most about Derek is how patiently he accepts trials in his life. He always has such a good atitude about what life has handed him. When he was 11 or 12 he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Then at age 19 he was diagnosed with Lymphoma Cancer.  He has now been in remission for 5 ...

32 Weeks

By
32 weeks, 2 days here How Far Along: 32 weeks, 4 days Size of the Baby:  Almost 4 pounds and about 17 inches long Weight gain/loss: 3.6 pounds in the last month bringing me to 12.6 pounds total Sleep:  It's gotten worse. Oh well. At least the trains are the least of my worries now. Any sleep advice for the 3rd trimester? I'll take any I can get. I wake up with the worst back and abdomen pain and I have to rotate multiple times throughout the night since my hips, legs, arms, and hands all start going numb. ha I am ready to buy a recliner and sleep sitting up. It might work out better. Best Moment of the Week: My birthday and my baby shower. (More to come on these later) How could you not have an awesome week with those two things in the mix? Movement: Lots of rolling and jabbing. I feel like the past couple days she has been moving more constantly. I am loving it. Only two other people have felt her move besides her parents - Samantha and Jami...
