Nursery Decor

Star Lights from Target, $15

Paper lantern, $10.95 on Amazon

What was I just saying about how I should NOT buy nursery stuff because it takes up too much room? Wellll... I just bought two boxes of these star lights from Target for $15 each... At least I'm not buying a crib mattress or anything...

I'm also allll about this paper lantern from Amazon. It kinda sucks it costs that much and then doesn't come with the wiring?? So it ends up being around $20. And it's just paper. I mean, I'll probably buy it or put it on our wishlist buttt I'm not gonna be happy about it!

The main thing that I'm resisting buying for the nursery is ART! There is so much awesome space-themed kid art that I want to buy it all! NAO!!! I think I've posted them before, but the Earth Science prints from here are AMAZING. They also have star charts that blow my mind. Here's a picture for you lazy butts.

But when I'm incredibly broke and also have no idea where I'll be living when I have a nursery... It's silly to be buying a ton of stuff.

Blllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhh

Goodwill? More like Greatwill!

The red dog one says 'woof woof' The monster one says 'hug me!'

Look at that elephant one though!

Okay so no one really cares about the size/brand, right? I got a bunch more cute shit from goodwill! Since the nursery theme is gonna be space, the green space onesie and the robot PJs are kinda perrrrfectt. Look at that lil elephant one. THE ARM IS THE TRUNK. How cute is that?!

What I really SHOULD do, is start looking for nursery stuff to buy! But I guess that gets to be a lot bigger. The clothes I can just throw in a bag (...or three...) but when you start getting into more than that, it can get bulky and we have no space for that!

Bugs, Lizards, and Baby Things

 So, I generally hate bugs. And I'm not a huge lizard fan. But for some reason, I am allll about having a kid who LOVES bugs and lizards. I want them (especially if they're a girl) to loves science and is really passionate about it. Or at least I want to encourage that, though not force it. So when I was at Carter's, I got this sweet lizard shirt! It was $5 and is for a 9 month old. Right along that same vein, I want my daughter (though son too) to know she's smart and what she says matters! I got the Girl Genius onesie for $5 too! And since our nursery theme is space, I of course had to get those astronaut PJs for $8, size 6 months. The warm looking monster hat was $3! I won't use it for a while, it's for a one or two year old but it was so cheap and cute andddd has little mittens too!

Since we're SUPER broke all the time, I though it'd be smart to stop buying new clothes and start buying second hand! All of the next few pictures are from Goodwill and All cost under $5! Some of them are even Carter's brand! SO from top to bottom and left to right! Crab onesie: Carter's, 6months. Overalls: OshKosh, 6months, Alligator onesie: Carter's, 12months.

Moose 2 piece set: Carter's, 6-9months, Yeti shirt: Jumping Beans, 12months. Owl onesie: The Children's Place, 3-6months.













Train vest: The Children's Place, 2years. Dino PJs: The Children's Place, 6-9 months

While I couldn't find things I was in LOVE with at Goodwill, like I do at Carter's, not everything my child is going to wear is something I'm going to love. And as they get older, that'll be more and more true. Soon they'll be wearing shirts that say "Cuntzilla" or "Jailbait" or shirts that depict Jesus having sex with a pornstar who is giving a blowjob to the pope. Or at least that's what I wore when I got older and I'm SURE my parents didn't love THAT.

Goodwill is a good choice, and I definitely can't afford to be too picky! I'll try and go there more often when I've got that hankering for some new baby clothes.

Still Going Strong

Carters, $10 clearance, 6 month (2 onsies and pants) 

Hey friends,

Carters, $8, 9 months

Carters, part of the $10 clearance set

I'm still here! Still buying baby clothes... With no baby to put in them! Part of me says "Just go for it! Have a lil bebe! You'll make it work!" And another (smarter) part of me says "You need a car. And a house. And you have no money. Chill." SIGH. So I've been (semi) content to just buy baby clothes and make all my characters in Dungeons and Dragons be pregnant. So here are the clothes I got today at Carter's! I resisted SO HARD buying all the incredibly adorable dresses and things. NEUTRAL. Trying to stop NEUTRAL clothing. (And yes you can def argue that dresses are inherently neutral and it is only society that genders them and that's totally true.) I love love love this lil bug shirt! It glows in the dark, too. It was really hard to stick to the cheaper stuff, too. I passed up TWO different PJ sets. One of them just had dogs in clothes (SO CUTE) and the OTHER ONE HAD DOGS SKATEBOARDING ON IT UGH I CAN'T BELIEVE I DIDN'T BUY THAT ONE.. Anyway. I have nothing else to contribute. Oh! Except! Here is my super awesome baby wish list! All the things I'm gonna put on an eventual registry are on there. Pretty sweet stuff. Gotta fill them days somehow!
<3333
Till next time!
