Hey everyone! Sophistication is getting to be such a big girl and constantly keeps me on my toes. I've been missing from the blogging universe because Hubby has been back in school since September so I've been parenting alone. :-/ This sucks but the rewards at the end will be awesome! I can't wait until he graduates in May! I have other news that I will share next week too! Also my lupus has been out of remission so that's put a crimp on getting things done. I am now taking shots everyday to thin my blood due to my Lupus Anticoagulant being positive. Well off to figure out why the little monster lady is crying now... Take care everyone.</div>

I just wanted to tell you what I'm thankful for today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's a little intro story into what I'm thankful for tonight and it goes like this. Today was errand/cleaning day. After running our errands we came home to take care of our yard furniture. I started taking all of Sophistication's yard toys to the basement for winter storage. When I was finished I started to go upstairs and a giant frog jumped at me! It looked like this: </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok ok ok I KNOW it wasn't really THIS big! BUT it felt like it was!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The frog was probably the size of a small apple but that thing FREAKED me out!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Soooooo What I'm thankful for:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
MY HUSBAND!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yup, he heard me screech and ran downstairs to see what happened and if I was hurt. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He then preceded to chase the frog until he caught it! Even better is he took it way out back by the big creak to let it go. My hubby is AMAZING! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I Love You C </div>

Sophistication turned 22 months old! Where did the time go??? We went to the park on her month day and she LOVES the slides. She has absolutely NO fear of climbing all the way to the top and then sliding down on her own. However, Mommy is terrified of this! Therefore, Papi hung out at the top of the slide and Mommy at the bottom to make sure she made it up and down safely! :-) My baby is getting to be such a big girl already!</div>

This previous week also brought us new kittens that have adopted us. We have a boy and a girl that look almost identical and are super friendly. We himmed and hawed if we were going to give them names or not and Papi said we had to call them SOMETHING. Then he named them Buffy for the little girl and Tuffy for the little boy. I am surprised that they let Sophistication carry them around so much but they seem to love her just as much as she loves them. </div>

I wanted to show off this weeks manicure too. I wore Bondi New York's <a href="http://www.bondinewyork.com/collections/sale/products/brick-road">Brick Road</a> topped by a Wet and Wild orange glitter polish that I have NO idea what it is actually called. One of my co-workers said this was my candy corn manicure and I completely agree. Now I just need to find a pearl white to finish it off for a perfect Halloween mani!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been deciding if I want to blog this at all. I have lived in my home since I was 6 years old and I have never had to deal with this. My house has stood here for 65 years. My grandfather built it! In those 65 years it has NEVER flooded. Well that all changed on August 9th 2013. It was a freak thing. I had received an alert on my phone that there were flash floods in my area but I ignored it because that is down the road, not at my house, never my house. I am far enough up the hill that I normally do not have to deal with those things. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What/How it happened: I live next to a small creak. There had been some pretty crazy storms going through the previous few days that made the stream levels higher than normal but that's not what did it. The rain weakened the side of the embankment right where a large tree grew. Between the weakened embankment, continued rain and weight of the tree the tree fell into the creek. Normally that still wouldn't do anything. On this one day, this one chance tree falling it fell with the top pointed towards the bridge over the stream. The tree was then pushed into the opening of the bridge and all the branches and leaves blocked the flow of water. This made all that water go rushing up and over the bridge and road right into my yard, garage and my basement. My mail carrier witnessed it as it happened right when she was delivering mail. She said the water was half way up her tires of her SUV. That's pretty dang high! Lucky for us she called from her cell phone to have the road crews come unclog the tree ASAP. She told me that by time she did the next part of her route and came back towards my house the water was gone and she could continue down our road approximately 30 minutes later. All this mess in such a short time amazes me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My garage had over a foot of water in it. The basement flooded and I lost a lot of my Christmas items. The force of the water and mud was so much that totes that were full were picked up and flipped into the muck. Other totes had water and mud deposited into them from the top even though they were closed because they are not water proof. The riding lawn mower moved over 100 ft down the driveway. Sophistication's Cozy Coupe went from in front of the garage all the way into the way back yard. We found railroad ties in the middle of our yard as well as a TON of bamboo. I was lucky. Even though I am still cleaning everything the important stuff is still there. My hot water tank still works, the washer, dryer and freezer all work. My furnace is opened all the way to dry it out so my cousin can come check it out (he works for a company and does it professionally so I'm in good hands). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once the house is finished being dried out, cleaned, and organized the yard comes last. I'm pretty sure that the yard will not be done until next year. It is a last priority of mine. Sophistication has somewhere to play out front so the back and side yards can be a mess. It will get done, eventually. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In some ways this has been a blessing. My basement and garage are getting cleaned when I have put if off for years and years and it keeps just collecting junk. Now I will have a nice, clean, organized basement. My garage is the emptiest I've seen it in YEARS and it's nice to think I will be able to pull my car in it this winter. I may have lost stuff. But that is all it is, it is STUFF! It is NOT important in the grand scheme of life. It is all stuff that is replaceable. </span></div>

I had to share some adorable pictures that I took the two days that we went. <br />
<br />
Sophistication was technically big enough to ride on the rides this year. However, I did not let her go on any as I was afraid she would try to get out or cry the whole time. She's not even two yet but she seems like she is older until she doesn't! :-)<br />
<br />
She had fun watching all the people, walking around and visiting all the booths and eating some great fair foods. <br />
<br />
In the picture at the top, she is eating fluff and trying to get me to eat it too. I caught the picture just at the right moment that she made a funny face while eating and just HAD to share it. <br />
<br />
In the pictures on the right you'll see where she gets the funny faces from. She's just like her daddy! She also had a great time hanging with Papi so I could eat.<br />
<br />

I'm not going to tell you where I'm at in the video but I am there! They need to save it to a different format or load it to YouTube because there is NO skipping ahead in the movie :( This can be found <a href="http://spencerpicnic.com/Videos/spencer-picnic-1991-movie.html">HERE</a>. <br />
<br />
While we were in the park Sophistication found the joy of slides. I took a short video and some stills because it was just so cute. I love the look of pure joy on her face. When we went back a few days later she remembered where the slides were and wanted to keep going down them and even tried to climb the hill to get to it on her own.<br />
<br />
We made some great memories by taking a few hours to just stop and enjoy our day with each other instead of stressing over all the little things that have happened this summer. <br />
<br />
I hope your enjoying that last few days of summer before the fall hits us. I know we are!<br />

<a href="http://store.barefootbooks.com/bear-on-the-go-first-puzzles.html">Bear on the Go First Puzzle </a>by Barefoot Books: Sophistication already threw these around the room several times. I keep putting them together, she tears them apart, in the box, out of the box, and right back in. She certainly loves them. What I love about them is that they are great beginner puzzles at only 4 pieces each. </div>
<div>

<div>
<a href="http://store.cleanwelltoday.com/hand-sanitizers/hand-sanitizer-wipes-40-ct-canister-pack-orange-vanilla-scent.html">Orange Vanilla sanitizing wipes</a> by Clean Well: These will come in handy in the coming months as the weather continues to cool and the leaves start falling. They also smell interesting!</div>

When the bandages are gone I'm sure she'll love the tin as well. I like that her crayons can fit in it and I can toss them in my purse and not worry about them getting broken.</div>
<div>

<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Creativity-Kids-Fun-Things-Color/dp/B004JIHPVG">Fun Things to Color A to Z</a> from Creativity for Kids: The pages are adorable in this color book. I was worried initially by the markers however they are washable. The size is perfect for Sophistication's hands at the moment too! I had to hide this from Sophistication when it was nap time because she wanted to color and not nap.</div>

Sophistication ate a few then decided mommy needed to eat them instead of her. When I declined after a few she then fed the dogs. My personal taste testing; I thought they were ok, however not the greatest taste to me. I like that they are organic but they have a kind of bland flavor. </div>

I recently participated in a box exchange on a group I belong to on facebook. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/BoxLoveExchange/" style="font-family: inherit;">Box Love B/S/T</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> is a place where people who subscribe to subscription boxes can buy, sell or trade their items with other people who also love sub boxes! Because we all love getting surprise boxes in the mail every month we recently did a box exchange with each other. One of our awesome group members was kind enough to organize everything by getting our information, what we would like in our box and what we wanted to send out. I was paired with another mom, however most others did not have the same person that had them. I had "C" and she has two little boys. I decided to make them a couple hand puppets to include in their trade box from Sophistication as I have seen so many "Monster" theme'd things this summer that are popular for kids recently. These are really simple to make whether you crochet or knit. Take a basic mitten pattern and add extra "thumbs" for the extra arms. Easy peasy :-) Enjoy</span><br />

<br />
One of my summer projects was building toy storage for Sophistication. I am still amazed at how great it turned out! The final project measures 14"H x 22"D x 48"L. We decided to do a larger compartment in the middle to hold larger items like Sophistication bowling set, guitar and other toys. I also thought that this would be good for when she gets older and can be utilized as shoe storage. Boots and sneakers in the middle, heals and flip flops on the sides, was my thinking. I cheated by buying pre-sanded wood at Lowe's to save on time and sacrificed money. The total length was determined by me not wanting to have to cut the wood length by 6 inches to match the book shelf that I wanted to sit on top of the toy storage, also laziness.<br />

One <a href="http://www.hayneedle.com/product/2binstackablestorageunit.cfm?source=pla&tid=LFY003&adtype=pla&kw=&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=LFY003&gclid=CP3EwPuRw7gCFUKe4AodZgMAiA">here</a> is smaller in length and would not work for what I wanted it to do. Same with this<a href="http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/bulk-bins/?pkey=bstorage-wall-systems&"> one</a>. Even though I paid a similar cost to hand build our storage, it's something that Sophistcation will be able to know as she grows that mommy and daddy made it for her. Another reason I love our design!<br />

I have had this book shelf since I was a child. One other thing we have "planned" is to make a flip top lid for the storage using another piece of 4 ft x 20 inch wood (un-purchased thus far) and piano hinges. I will also need to purchase more polyurethane as we used the ENTIRE quart! Now your wondering where the second 20 inch width panel went that I already purchased. Well I had Lowe's cut it into 12 inch sections for the side walls. My cousin cut the angles on the now 12 inch x 20 inch sections for me as I do not own the tools (also remember above... I'm lazy!) At this point my husband decided he was going to "put" it together himself so it would be "Our" project and not "My" project. He pre-drilled all the screw holes and did the "sinks" for the top of the screws. I MADE him gorilla glue between the panels so no dust and dirt and toy junk would get in between the sections and to make for easier cleaning in the future. Then one coat of stain, 5 coats of poly then voila! it's done! I hope you enjoy my little project. :-)<br />

There's a new Subscription Box on the block and I happened to receive my second box this week. <a href="http://www.munchit.com/">Munchit</a> is a box of snacks that are delivered to your door once a week for only $3.58! This includes shipping!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
Included in your box is an all natural food snack mix of your choice. You can pick one or more varieties so you can be surprised on which one you get. There are currently <a href="http://www.munchit.com/Food-Mixes_ep_41.html">10 flavor combinations</a> with what looks like more to come. Your snack mix comes in a two portion container. I received Banana Split and it is a concoction of Banana coins, butter toffee almonds and honey roasted peanuts. I normally do not enjoy almonds but I LOVED these! <br />
<br />
My only complaint is that the mix you receive is supposed to be a two serving size. I would personally prefer the portion to be a one serving size at a specific calorie count instead of different calories depending on the mix. After thinking about it for some time this week, I think somewhere between 200 to 250 calories would be a good portion. This is considering the fact that there is NO way I could only eat half of what arrives as it's just THAT YUMMY!<br />
<br />

Next, make your choices for hot and iced teas. There are ten hot tea flavors and five iced tea flavors to choose from. Your box will contain one of either hot or cold. I received Twinings Green Tea with Mint Iced Tea and was able to make a few cups of tea out if it as I don't like mine brewed very long.<br />
<br />
Choose your all natural treat next! There are several different hard candies as well as a couple chocolates. I received the Organic Cherry Hard Candy. It was quite yummy! This one is not listed on the website however I clicked surprise me! :-) Now if I only had 2 or 3 in the box to have on another day.<br />
Lastly you get all natural gum. The gum is Xylitol based. There are four little squares of gum in the box which I used two at a time last week but haven't used them this week as I'm on vacation.<br />

All in all I really did love everything in this box. I wish I could get the snack mix in bulk! Or even order multiples of just the snack mix to toss into my husbands and my lunches.</div>

<span style="text-align: right;"> I received this box for free as there was a computer glitch with "Fred" the <a href="http://www.munchit.com/">Munchit</a> billing computer. There was a cute little note included in my box that you can see in the First Look photo explaining what happened. However, I loved it. I can not say if Sophistication loved it as it arrived during her nap time and mommy didn't share! All opinions are my own and even though I did receive this box free from </span><a href="http://www.munchit.com/" style="text-align: right;">Munchit</a><span style="text-align: right;">, I was not influenced by the free product and I would never recommend anything to anyone that I would not, myself, use or that I felt was not worth spending money on. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: right;">I've suspended my subscription for a few weeks while I'm on vacation to preserve freshness but I will start up again mid-August so be on the lookout for more reviews!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.munchit.com/">Munchit</a> only delivers to some states at this time. They can be found <a href="http://www.munchit.com/Help-FAQs_ep_40.html">here</a>.<br /><br />P.S. I added up the shipping on the box and it's $2.41! Wow! That's crazy when they charge nothing for shipping!</span></div>

I have waited to do the review to give myself some time to try the products. First off I was surprised on how much was included in the box. <br />
<br />
First off is the Luster Now! Instant Whitening Toothpaste. I loved how quickly this got my teeth white, however I did not like the taste. After the first use I actually re-brushed my teeth with my regular tooth paste to get the taste out of my mouth. But it is amazing how quickly it does get your teeth white!<br />

I had NEVER used fake eye lashes before! I was quite surprised that I got two boxes and a coupon! My 18 year old cousin already stole the second box and the coupon! Needless to say I was horrible at attempting to put them on, and they just felt funny to me. Although my trip to the store a local lady noticed how full and long my lashes were so that was a bonus! If I ever had to use fake lashes for something again (i.e. photos) I would definitely use this product!<br />

For some reason I can't find the photo even though I know I took one! There were also two travel size boxes included. I love these for cleaning things! I used them to clean my keyboard on both my desk top and my laptop! <br />
<br />
The Urgent Rx Fast Powder for headache relief to-go is amazing! The only disappointment is the closest place that sells it to where I live is an hour and a half away from me! I NEED to get some of these to toss in my purse for when I'm on the go!<br />
<br />
Dr.Scholl's For Her Ball of Foot cushions were also included. I don't wear heals very often but these would be a god send when I do. However, I do use Dr.Scholl's cushions in my shoes on a daily basis as I'm a server and extra support is a MUST!<br />
<br />
Lastly was a discount to <a href="http://www.mytriorings.com/">MyTrio Rings</a>. I had never heard of this company before and the jewelry looks sublime. I'm already married but I did pass this information onto my cousins who were getting married and looking for rings. Hopefully my husband remembers this site when he's looking for a Christmas present for me this year ;-)<br />
<br />
Below is the information card included in the box. I love when companies include values on items when they send you things to try like this because you can really think about if you would buy the items in the future or if they are a miss for you. <br />

This is the first thing I have EVER had the pleasure to review complimentary! Yay! However, <span style="text-align: right;">I was not influenced by the free product and I would never recommend anything to anyone that I would not, myself, use or that I felt was not worth spending money on.</span><span style="text-align: right;"> I hope you enjoyed my input and thoughts on these products and that they help you make your own informed decisions on whether to purchase them or not. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, when your phone backs up those pictures there is a NEW surprise in store for you. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://support.google.com/plus/answer/3113884?p=photos_auto_awesome&hl=en&authuser=0&rd=1">Auto Awesome</a> is a new tool used to create fun extra photos for you. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Auto Awesome, automatically makes Mix Photo's like seen on the left. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It also makes Motion photos out of 5 or more photos taken in succession. I love this new motion animation of Sophistication! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There are also a few other options but I have not taken any pictures that prompt these Auto Awesome options. These include HDR (High Dynamic Range), Smile (merging photos of groups with the best smile) and Pano ( a series of photos with overlapping landscape views into one panoramic image.) <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love these new animations and mix photos. I wonder when I'll actually be able to use the other options though ;-) </div>

Included in your box is an all natural food snack mix of your choice. You can pick one or more varieties so you can be surprised on which one you get. There are currently <a href="http://www.munchit.com/Food-Mixes_ep_41.html">10 flavor combinations</a> with what looks like more to come. Your snack mix comes in a two portion container. I received the Red Eye and it was amazing!<br />
<br />
Next, make your choices for hot and iced teas. There are ten hot tea flavors and five iced tea flavors to choose from. Your box will contain one of either hot or cold. I received Twinings Peach Iced Tea and was able to make a few cups of tea out if it as I don't like mine brewed very long. <br />
<br />
Choose your all natural treat next! There are several different hard candies as well as a couple chocolates. I received the Organic Mini Dark Chocolate. What the website doesn't tell you is that this is Swiss Chocolate and it is by far the BEST dark chocolate I have ever had! :-) <br />
<br />
Lastly you get all natural gum. The gum is Xylitol based. There are four little squares of gum in the box which I used two at a time. <br />
<br />
All in all I really did love everything in this box. I wish I could get the snack mix in bulk so I would have it all week long as both Sophistication and I loved it. It was actually a war on who got to eat it. <br />

<span style="text-align: right;"> I received this box for free as I was one of the first 300 to sign up for a box when it launched last week. However, I loved it and so did Sophistication. I am eagerly awaiting next weeks box to see what I get new to try. All opinions are my own and even though I did receive this box free from </span><a href="http://www.munchit.com/" style="text-align: right;">Munchit</a><span style="text-align: right;">, I was not influenced by the free product and I would never recommend anything to anyone that I would not, myself, use or that I felt was not worth spending money on. <br /><br />Munchit only delivers to some states at this time. They can be found <a href="http://www.munchit.com/Help-FAQs_ep_40.html">here</a>.<br /><br /> P.S. I just added up the shipping on the box and it's $2.41! Wow! That's crazy when they charge nothing for shipping!</span><br />

Why Sure!There's a lovely group of bloggers out there currently writing "Crappy Mom" blogs. I saw them and thought I'd join in. Thank you Jen @ <a href="http://www.lifewithlevi.com/2012/09/im-a-crappy-mom/">Life with Levi</a> for all your thoughts and blogs. I am proud to say that I am a Crappy Mom too! Here are some reasons why I'm a Crappy Mom! :-)<br />

<div>
I breastfeed Sophistication</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I use disposable diapers</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I hug her several times a day</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I give her kisses all the time and will until the day I die, even when she pushes me away</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I plan on homeschooling her</div>
<div>

<div>
I use organic products when I can afford them but don't loose sleep if I don't</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I let her eat off the floor ~ A little dirt never hurt</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I will let her play outside</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

<br />
I co-sleep<br />
<br />
I walk out of the room to go potty and come back in the room and shes has puffies everywhere... I let her eat them anyways...<br />
<br />
I use words like tinkle and potty in adult conversations<br />
<br />
She is rear-facing in her car seat and I will continue to do so for as long as possible<br />
<br />
When I come home from work I run to go get her instead of going potty, even though I've usually had to go for over an hour... ( and yes even when I point it out to myself I still use the word potty)<br />

<br />
I let her stay up until 2 if she wants so she will sleep until 10<br />
<br />
I teach her about God, however I also teach her about other versions of God<br />
<br />
She will be brought up Christian, however have a healthy dose of Jewish and a little Buddhist thrown in too to teach her tolerance<br />
<br />
She gets Hanuka and Christmas ~ Thanks Grandma Sue!<br />

Her favorite Aunt is a lesbian and I couldn't be more proud of her!</div>

<br />
My husband and I live in two different states and visit each other when we can afford too otherwise we Skype<br />
<br />
My husband returned to University to finish his degree for our daughter so he misses stuff so I get to take lots and lots and lots of pictures and video :-)<br />
<br />
Sophistication has over 10 gigs of pictures and video taken of her already and shes not even 1! This will be interesting when she's an adult<br />
<br />
I put my blog on hold because she comes first in everything<br />
<br />
I have lots of blog ideas but no time to accomplish them being a single mom of an almost toddler that does not have a regular sleep schedule<br />
<br />
This blog took me 5 days to type up with several interruptions including an 8 hour ER stay for me and I don't care<br />
<br />
And last but not least I enjoy when my husband tosses her in the air even though I'm terrified that he'll miss her because it brings them both such great JOY</div>

Help me pick Sophistication's Skip Hop set!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In a couple days Sophistication will be 10 months old. This made me realize that I need to start shopping for her first birthday. We all want to make our babies first birthdays memorable. I keep looking at blogs, lists and advice on what to get her for her birthday. She does not need clothing, toys or books. The reason she doesn't need books is I already owned too many to count from my childhood and she belongs to a book club already. I found <a href="http://www.skiphop.com/">Skip Hop</a> through <a href="http://www.citruslane.com/">Citrus Lane</a>. I love their luggage, backpacks and lunch-bags. The only problem is I can NOT decide which ones to get. Therefore I am taking advice from others. I picked out sets that I like and just can not decide which one to get. Group A is the Bee/Ladybug/Frog combination. Group B is the Dog/Cat/Mouse. and Group C is a mix of 5 and I can only choose three so there is even more flexibility there. The Monkey is a must for Group C, as it is the only one offered in the luggage but I still need to narrow down two out of the Zebra/Elephant/Giraffe/Hippo choices. Let me know what you think and after Sophistication's 1st Birthday you'll find out which set was chosen. :-) Thanks for the help and input. < 3 </div>

Sophistication stole mommy's corn on the cob.

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am unsure how this happened and all of the posts I thought I had posted either disappeared into the ether or are saved as drafts. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The only reason I can think that this has happened is that I just received a new mobile and still had the old one activated for blogger as I sometimes use it on WiFi around the house. The camera on my old phone is decent and I use it near water so if it gets ruined I don't care as it is not my "good" aka new phone. So here's to hoping I get everything fixed in the next day or soo as I've messed up many many things... :0/</div>

<div class="mobile-photo">
The other day my mother informed me that I have two cousins expecting babies, one a girl and the other a boy! We live on a tight budget and I always like to try to give awesome presents to new babies in the family. I do this by buying on clearance and having a "baby bin" in the back of my closet. I wanted to share with everyone on how I put together my presents by using sales and my daughters favorite toys. The presents pictured below are priced approximately at $30 and $40 for the last picture. The value of these are worth $50 or more at full price clothing. </div>

1: Babies always get tons of clothing at baby showers so I try to give larger sizes in layer-able outfits. I also buy towards the end of season on clearance when I can. Below are pictured the girls and boys presents that I put together. The boys outfits cost me under $10.00 for both. I found the Mommy's Heart Breaker outfit for 85% off! and the blue outfit for 75% off. The girls outfits were 75% and 90% off! I also spent under $10 on both girls outfits. :-) By utilizing the sales at the end of the seasons I keep around 6 outfits for each gender, as well as a couple gender neutral's in my bin in the off chance of multiple births or a baby boom. This recently happened last year with 7 of my friends preggers at once! This way I can keep around $50 invested in clothing and have much more variety. </div>

2: I give the Infantino Light and Sound ball as it is a great toy to grow with your child. The ball lights up and plays music when you shake it. I used this from birth for Sophistication to help her enjoy tummy time more. I would lay her on her belly and shake the ball next to her. Now that she is crawling around and picking up toys on her own she loves to shake it and roll it around on the floor.</div>

3: I utilize dollar stores/kmart/walmart/amazon sales as much as possible to get the best prices on clothing and toys, but even full price toys can be reasonably priced. Dollar stores are great to find teethers and bath books. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4: I make my own toys by utilizing multi-packs and breaking them down. </div>
<br />
<ul><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVTou4x6UglDxvyFFVV_b0WSLzPty7hvX_SKs63yeed8g8eyNcXMzM-Z79ru2tmewuvhdYo9Wf4bT-cIPnxVr8LbFd1eyfot1tANMKSfb13Uh7qepomFr1amkleKqc5G6QS3gnluLw37o/s1600/photo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVTou4x6UglDxvyFFVV_b0WSLzPty7hvX_SKs63yeed8g8eyNcXMzM-Z79ru2tmewuvhdYo9Wf4bT-cIPnxVr8LbFd1eyfot1tANMKSfb13Uh7qepomFr1amkleKqc5G6QS3gnluLw37o/s200/photo.jpg" width="165" /></a>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;">Baby Links typically come in a 24 piece package for $5. I then combine this with a teething ring to make my own teething ring/link combo. I use 8 links and the teether that I typically get at the dollar store for a total of $2.66 for total cost. This is similar to </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Sassy-Ring-Links-Rattle-Developmental/dp/B002L3T9YM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1342159253&sr=8-1&keywords=sassy+link" style="background-color: white;">Sassy Ring O'Links Rattle</a><span style="background-color: white;">. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;">Splitting up </span><a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/100-Balls-in-a-Mesh-Net-Bag/11084125" style="background-color: white;">PVC Ball Bag's</a><span style="background-color: white;"> is great too. I bought a bag of 100 at my local Walmart for $10.50 however online they are priced $15. If you give one of each color you can spread this cost over 10 people easily bringing the price of 10 balls down to $1-$1.5! Part of why I split up the bag is as a parent I find that 100 balls are a lot to keep in check unless you have a ball pit. The PVC balls are a perfect size for little ones to practice gripping and throwing to mommy and daddy! </span>
In the pictures below I gave larger bouncy balls with numbers on them that I found at my local Dollar store. </li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4. All of the toys I give are kid tested by my daughter as some of her absolute favorites. </div>
