I guess another "must" is to go to Once Upon A Child. Cousin Lori has already been informed that we are going here and she is game!! I have never heard of this store until Connie was talking about it on her blog. I decided to check out and see if we had one in Canada and sure enough there is one in Edmonton.
Here is what Connie had to say about this store: "This place is like mama-crack! It is upscale eBay without the shipping. Yeah, there's some so-so stuff but there is a lot of fabu stuff if you look through. Toys, gear and the clothes! Gymboree, Baby Lulu, Carter's, Children's Place, Hilfiger, Janie & Jack - you name it. It's like all the cool kid stores in one place and at amazing prices. This is better than any outlet gig I have had to be sure. Yep, I did some shoppy and got a whole bag of goodies for what I have paid for one outfit in the past.".....I love the way Connie describes things. I cannot wait until one day I can shop with her!! I can just imagine what is in Jadyn's closet so far!!! Connie when do we get to see a picture??
Other stores I want to make it too is Ikea, Kids Furniture Gallery and of course eat at the Olive Garden...mmm!! If any of you have any "tips" on where to shop for baby cribs and fun stuff let me know....I'm making a list!!
So tonight I will be busy washing clothes, cleaning house and packing my suitcase. I also have to get Saige packed up as she is heading to the lake for the weekend to stay with Dave, Diane & Kadi!!! I hope you all have a super weekend and I'll catch up with you when I get back on Sunday.

MaJOB DESCRIPTION:Long term, team players needed, for challenging permanent work in an, often chaotic environment. Candidates must possess excellent communication and organizational skills and be willing to work variable hours, which will include evenings and weekends and frequent 24 hour shifts on call. Some overnight travel required, including trips to primitive camping sites on rainy weekends and endless sports tournaments in far away cities. Travel expenses not reimbursed. Extensive courier duties also required.RESPONSIBILITIES:The rest of your life. Must be willing to be hated, at least temporarily, until someone needs a couple of bucks . Must be willing to bite tongue repeatedly. Also, must possess the physical stamina of a pack mule and be able to go from zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat in case, this time, the screams from the backyard are not someone just crying wolf. Must be willing to face stimulating technical challenges, such as small gadget repair, mysteriously sluggish toilets and stuck zippers. Must screen phone calls, maintain calendars and coordinate production of multiple homework projects. Must have ability to plan and organize social gatherings for clients of all ages and mental outlooks. Must be willing to be indispensable one minute, an embarrassment the next. Must handle assembly and product safety testing of a half million cheap, plastic toys, and battery operated devices. Must always hope for the best but be prepared for the worst. Must assume final, complete accountability! y for the quality of the end product. Responsibilities also include floor maintenance and janitorial work throughout the facility.POSSIBILITY FOR ADVANCEMENT &PROMOTION:Virtually none. Your job is to remain in the same position for years, without complaining, constantly retraining and updating your skills, so that those in your charge can ultimately surpass youPREVIOUS EXPERIENCE:None required unfortunately. On-the-job training offered on a continually exhausting basis.WAGES AND COMPENSATION:Get this! You pay them! Offering frequent raises and bonuses. A balloon payment is due when they turn 18 because of the assumption that college will help them become financially independent. When you die, you give them whatever is left. The oddest thing about this reverse-salary scheme is that you actually enjoy it and wish you could only do more.BENEFITS:While no health or dental insurance, no pension, no tuition reimbursement, no paid holidays and no stock options are offered; this job supplies limitless opportunities for personal growth and free hugs for life if you play your cards right.
Sooooo.......Forward this on to all the Moms and soon-to-be Moms you know, in appreciation for everything they do on a daily basis, and let them know they are appreciated.
