Thursdays With Mommy-A Shopping Trip

I am doing a little back blogging today because this day occured during our AT&T troubles but it was too fun to not document so here it is one week later :).

If you've followed my blog for a while, you know that I am off work on Thursdays and live for my day at home with my baby. Most Thursdays are low key and we just play around the house but last week we went on a mini shopping spree for fall clothes and birthday party essentials!

Our first stop was to our favorite little consignment boutique BHBB. I found a few pieces for my fall wardrobe while Georgia Grace entertained herself in the full length mirror. She also entertained the employees by playing peek-a-boo under the fitting room door. And then she decided to crawl out to them! Thank goodness I was finished trying on and fully clothed to go retrieve my runaway child. They were so sweet to her and offered to watch her while I finished up. She stole their hearts that's for sure.

We stopped for lunch at CFA. I love CFA for their food and company values, and I especially love the accessibility. There are always plenty of highchairs and changing stations in the bathroom. When I am by myself I definitely consider those things when choosing a place to eat. She had a big time watching the older kids and eating like a big girl. 

A future Fashionista! TJ Maxx is one of my favorite stores. I think it may be Georgia's too!

And what's a shopping trip without a stop at Target? This was my view for most of the time we were in the store. I had her buckled in but she wiggled out of it and worked herself into a backwards standing position. I got a couple of strange looks from others but she was happy so standing in the cart is what she did! I'm having a really hard time with this "No" thing if you can't tell... :)

We ended the day with a trip to the grocery. Thursday afternoons about 1pm is apparently the best time to grocery shop. We pretty much had the place to ourselves! I enjoyed not feeling like I was on a conveyor belt and could just "shop" for a while instead of grabbing an item and moving on. Not to mention I had the cutest grocery girl to help me!

I had a really great time going out for the day with my girl. She's old enough now that it is not near as much of a hassle. Every time I take her out places I realize how quickly she is transforming from a baby to a little girl. She is growing up right before our eyes! I'm trying not to be sad but expect a lot of it this month as the countdown to the big birthday begins. Someone hold me ;(.

When we got home we were both exhausted. She slept 12 hours this night! We literally shopped until we dropped. :)
