what girls do best - shop

hubby has been busy working.  that means more mommy and kaila time!  i keep saying girls rule to k, but she still thinks daddy is a girl.  oh well.  having a girl leads to lots of shopping for the ridiculously cute clothes.  i made a rule to myself to try to buy things only on sale and NEVER go over $30 on an item.  ...then came DVF for Gap.  i had no idea how expensive the collection would be!  i went to a preview sale today (collection debuts 5/15) and the peer pressure got to me.  all these moms grabbing dresses left and right - i felt like i had to keep up!  even though they kept restocking right behind us. haha.

this is kaila's "smile" courtesy of hubby's chandler-esque smiles.

proof i turned into a nightmare mommy shopper.

hmph.  too bad most of the gorgeous dresses i got will have to be returned.  still contemplating what to keep and be guilt free...

hb to my hubby.

today is hubby's birthday.  his BIG gift?  he got a home cooked meal.  the thing is, i think i can count on my fingers the times i have used our kitchen in the last year.  maybe add in a few toes.  i think the moment life got hectic, we trusted our box of take-out menus to serve us dinner most nights.  i felt super rusty and out of place, but attempted to make a simple meal of homemade chili and cornbread.  kaila insisted we bake a chocolate brownie as well.  the moment kaila said "thank you mommy for cooking dinner - so yummy", i said to kitchen, "you are going to get sick of seeing me - pinky promise."
