Celebration Glasses
I’ve taken to walking around thrift stores lately. Ok, ok, those of you who are my regular readers (my sisters and mom) know this is nothing new but now it’s really a necessity. Seriously.
As with most babies (I think?), Jackson does so much better when we spend a couple hours out and about. Has to be the extra stimulation, poops him out quite nicely. So, on days when I’m not at The Baby Cafe or meeting my Mom for lunch, I like to do something, anything, around town. Some days we visit the Museum of Art downtown, other days we walk to the Desert Botanical Gardens which are practically across the street.
Most of the time we end up walking around a store (Target, Marshall’s, ToysRUs), eying things we really don’t need and all too often, walking out with said unnecessary purchases. Consumerism at it’s best worst. Buying things you don’t really need nor do you have a place to put them is just silly.
So, lately we’ve enjoyed walking around thrift stores. I’m much less likely to purchase random things (unless I absolutely must have it, like the vintage “Celebration Glasses” above!) and even if I do, most purchases are only a couple bucks. Thereby, allowing me to save money for the really important things in life…like shoes. And I think that’s definitely something worth celebrating!
