Hey! My Fitbit broke for good so I ordered the Alta HR and got it in the mail today. So much fun getting new things. Today had been pretty low key. DH and H went for a run in the jogging stroller while S and I hung out at home this morning. Then lunch and naps. Not sure what the rest of the day will bring. lfig and klong11 I hope your girls are feeling better soon. |

Any of you girls have some great ideas for car toys? Both for dd (14mo) and ds. I'm trying to make a bag of small gifts to entertain them during our ride. It's 8 hours, then a 14 hour overnight ferry and then 4 more hours. So far I have a magazine, a stuffed toy, toy phone, binoculars, small pool ball, aqua magic. We'll of course have books and an iPad/DVD.

nam2013 I give Cadence a notebook with various stickers and crayons. It entertains her for quite some time. Character stickers are best. Melissa & Doug also makes those reusable sticker pads that are fun, too.

nam2013 snacks!! So many snacks. MagnaDoodle, books, any sort of no-mess coloring book. Another tip I've seen recommended by my fellow Navy wives is masking/painters tape. Haven't done it myself but makes sense to me--B in particular loves tape. (Also, I bet your DS will love his binoculars--b got some for Christmas and has actually had them on most of this week, ha).

We go to the one in Connecticut. I think the only other one around here is Poughkeepsie. I bet there's one by you, snoop. Everything is out that way. We have a Lowe's like 10 min away. Home Depot is closer, only like 6 min. We are going to walk to Home Goods so I can look for some baskets to organize part of my closet. It's only a half mile down the road so no biggie. A TJ Max is opening in the same strip mall soon. There goes all my monies! You really have everything! |

Nam, some things we have loved are snacks, a kilidoscope, books that make sounds, toy phones, a magnadoodle, light spinners (do you know what I mean? I can link if needed), binoculars. Also, random but the dr kit entertained my kids for a long time on a road trip which I was surprised about.

@xolastunicorn, what color scheme are you thinking for the nursery!? Since we're not finding out I'm going to paint it a light, soft grey for now. If it's a girl I'll probably add pops of lavender and violet, and if it's a boy, pops of powder blue. Love! We didn't find out and have a grey nursery with one stripe wall in grey, soft yellow and soft turquoise. Now that it's L's room we have subtle pops of magenta and pinks. |

My dad texted to let me know my grandma is not doing well and will probably not make it through the weekend. She has congestive heart failure. I'm not close with her and I'm trying to decide if I will make the drive to see her this evening.

xolastunicornxo watch the light grey. I was going for light grey with a soft yellow stripe. The grey we picked ended up reading as light purple, which ended up being fine, but you might not like it.

I'm sorry trtlcrzy. Not sure if you were looking for advice, but I think you need to do what's best for you. I understand where previous posters are coming from, but it's ok not to go too. There is no wrong. |

Yeah greys can be tricky. The main color we went with in the house ended up having a light blue tone in the light as opposed to pure grey, which was fine because we ended up liking it. You really have to find a "pure" grey without purple or blue tones. I think I found one that will work! Thank you! |

I'm feeling about better wedding. I had a fever last night but Advil brought it down. Now I just have this awesome cough. klong11 oh no. Poor C tgrimes those look amazing. I love new appliances. Sorry to hear about your grandma trtlcrzy. Hugs to you. We started major purging. Made our first of many goodwill drop offs. Once I sorted through my closet I realized I have no clothes. I was able to score free boxes from various people in the neighborhood. That's gonna save us a ton of money. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I can't wait to purge. I stored my dining table in case I didn't find one right away so now that I replaced it, I'm itching to get it out of there.
