Window Shopping: Mom's Wish List

Nick is on vacation with my mom and Eddie is playing in a golf tournament today and a volleyball tounament tomorrow. I, on the other hand, am deep in the throes of potty training a certain little diva and dealing with a baby who has a hairy conniption if I am out of her sight for more than two nanoseconds or if she isn't being held by me and only me. Ah, the separation anxiety phase.

So, basically I'm confined to my house and need to come to terms with the fact that the next few days are going to be spent balancing a baby on my hip while I wipe warm urine off my dining room chairs.

Needless to say, my mind is elsewhere.

Let's go shopping, shall we? (But not in real life, k? Because I'm a little broke right now.) 

Besides, Momma has a birthday coming up and I can dream. Maybe my husband will take a not-so-subtle hint and get me that loaf pan?


A Kindle Fire:


My awesome husband bought me a regular Kindle for Christmas and I love it, but that was before we decided to cyber school & I think having the Fire would be a great resource for accessing our online school from anywhere, as well as a bunch of free books and educational games. Plus, it's way cheaper than an IPad.  


Temp-tations loaf pan

You know you're getting old when you start fantasizing about a loaf pan. But seriously, I've never had a loaf pan and that's just dumb because I cook and bake a lot. (I usually use two miniature ones that came as part of another set.) I collect Tempt-tations dishes and this one is under $20 and it comes with a pretty cool drip pan insert.

I also think this set is awesome (and it swivels) but I'm not sure where I would store it.

Tastefully Simple Rhubarb Strawberry Fruit Spread 

This sounds stupid, but I went to a Tastefully Simple party last week at my friend's house and, even though I bought a bunch of other stuff, I didn't shell out for this fruit spread. We tried it and it was really good, but $8 just seemed like too much for what is essentially a jar of jelly. I've been regretting that decision ever since. I'm having my own party next month, so hopefully I can earn a  free one for myself. :)


Fitzwell Boots


Even in high school, when I was a size 2, my calves were always too big for tall boots. I've heard very good things about these boots from other ladies who are similarly well-endowed in the lower leg area. I would love to have a pair for fall, but I'm not comfortable forking over that much cash for shoes I can't even try on in person.


A Silhouette Cameo 



 It's a digital craft cutter that you can hook up to your computer. It will cut vinyl, paper, or even fabric into any shape or font that you could possibly imagine. It's also super expensive. (But no matter what, don't pay full price because there are ALWAYS discount codes on popular blogs that take off a pretty significant chunk of change.) My plan is to continue entering every giveaway in blogland until I finally win and get my hands on one. So far...no dice.


What's on your wish list these days?
