Busy Bee.........


Have to say today (Sunday) was a productive day. I did something that I know we woman hate to do, well at least I do. I cleaned out my closet. I also finally admitted to myself, that all my thin clothes were never going to fit again and I should get rid of them. That in itself is an accomplishment, if you ask me.

It was actually an eye opener as well, as I have hung onto some of these clothes for the past 20 + years. I will have to say there are a couple of "what was I thinking items" in my closet. Including a dropped waisted corduroy Laura Ashley dress with a big bow, circa Princess of Wales period. Along with numerous items with the lovely shoulder pads in there. Which I am guessing are all out of style now?

So now I have four big garbage bags full of clothes to send to charity and another garbage bag to throw out. Plus I have a ton more room in my closet and drawers.

I then tidied up the cold cellar, which is one of those places that always gets missed. Plus I got a ton of laundry done. So all in all a productive day, wouldn't you say?

I'm a bit confused???

Let me first say, my "baby" will be 23 years of age in November. So I am not overly familiar with baby clothes, etc. Anyhow an email pen pal is expecting a boy in a couple of weeks times. So I went to the store to pick up a couple of things. She is having a boy and as they live in Australia, I figured I would get something for when he is around 6 months old, and by that time it will be the height of summer over there. You see I thought this through.

Anyhow here is what I got, pretty cute eh? They are all for ages 6 to 9 months old.



I then saw this little outfit and thought this was also cute. However, it says its for an 18 month old? It looked a little small to me.



So when I got it home I compared it to the other ones and honestly there is hardly any difference between the sizes.



They are all made by the same company, so what's up? I guess you really can't go with the sizes they say, can you?

Taking a break.......

 back in a while.  Nothing wrong...........
