At first being a mother was a very time-consuming full-time job... But now that we have settled into a little routine, it is quite relaxing. I like to change things up a bit each day to avoid going crazy - today I treated myself to a little tea party for one whilst my little girl napped.
My recent
purchases: 3 Country Road knits for $19.95 each; Django and Juliette tan
leather boots on sale for $95; bloomers and tunic dress for my baby

One danger about having this time to myself is the temptation of online shopping. An email in my inbox a few days ago announced that the Country Road online outlet were having a further 50% off knits. Now with an upcoming trip to Japan looming and my winter wardrobe looking very sad due to me being heavily pregnant the whole season, $20 knits were too good to pass up. Of course, I couldn't place the order without throwing a couple of cute baby things into my cart. I had also been on the look out for new tan boots after wearing my old ones to death. I found these on sale at Zomp whilst on our fun family outing over the weekend, and the last pair were my size - perfect.
But don't think my days are all lonely tea parties and credit card work outs. Oh no, the best part is the baby smiles and cuddles, play time, singing and nonsense conversations. Before long, we may even be having tea parties for two. Yes, I love being a mum!
How sweet that you find ways to have atime out. Oh man. Had to ignore that e ail from CR, going to be exercising real restraint from now on to get my CC down to zero. Looks like you got some great bargains though, and love the boots! x

Naww thats lovely - looks like a gorgeous little tea party x
ReplyDeleteI need to add that the Country Road outlet online customer service is TERRIBLE! All 3 knits were cancelled. No consultation or option to go ahead with the rest of the order, to be honest I wouldn't have bothered getting the other things if I knew, especially when you are paying for postage. I emailed to complain, but no reply. Very disappointing.
