Changing table…?

I really want a changing table in my son’s nursery and my mom and fiance keep saying it’s a waste of money but I think it would be helpful plus a nice addition to his room. Where can I get a changing table for a good price? Do you think this is a waste of money too? Thanks everyone =]

Just starting to think about what we will need to buy for our newborn (our first) in the new year. There are so many items out there that we could get and we don’t want to overbuy for the sake of it! Is there anything that you bought that you didn’t end up using, didn’t work, was a waste of money etc?

How many cloth diapers should I order?




Having another baby in February and I don’t know how many cloth diapers I should order. I have five right now and have to wash them every day (I have a 15 month old). Do you think a total of 20 diapers is a good number or should I get more?
I don’t like disposables, I used them with my first child and they’re a waste of money. Cloth are not inconvenient at all.

My daughter recieved this awesome toy for her birthday and she loved it. She picked up how to play with it right away. In all the reviews I read online about it.. it said it was a waste of money because baby never got intrested. So i decided to rate the toy since there was nothing positive about it on there. I think i’m going to do it with most of her toys. Haha.

Anyway, Have you or do you rate and review your babys toys and such?

Can I get your opinion?




My mother in law and i had a little argument over this issue this weekend… i was wondering if you all agree with her…because everyone i ask seems to!

So here’s the issue: I had the family over this sunday and my four year old daughter Mariella wanted to show off her back to school clothes for her grandparents, aunts, uncles etc. So Mia is parading around in a few of her new outfits and everyone told her how pretty and grown up she looked…Later after she had gone off to play with the other kids. My mother in law started into me about what a waste of money it is to buy all these new clothes for the girls all the time ( i also have three year old twins). And yes, i do buy them a lot. They have way more clothing than they need, and i do stock up fully for each one of them at every season, but so what? If we can afford it, what is the problem? she says it will spoil them but they don’t care about the clothes. Mia loves her new clothes because i told her how pretty she looks. she likes the attention, you know? but if i hadn’t bought her anything she wouldnt have cared either. And the little girls REALLY don’t care about it. I just like to buy lots of cute clothing for my girls, it’s for me more than it is for them. So i don’t see a problem.

Also, my mother in law and one of my sister in laws began about how since the girls can all fit into the same size (Mariella was a preemie so she’s small and wears the same size as her Lyle and Alanna) I should just buy one of things and let them share. I think that’s completely ridiculous. Why should my girls to have to share their clothes when they don;t need to? That would be silly. There is nothing wrong with sharing, and i do intermix their closets from time to time, but why shouldnt they have their onw things.

I know that this isn’t really a big deal, but it just bothered me because i felt l ike I was being attacked for spoiling and overindulging my children and I just don’t see it that way. My mother in law feels very strongly that I spoil my kids. Whenever they act up she likes to point out that if I indulged them less they’d behave. but they’re good little kids! I don’t give them just anything they want. but the clothes are just my thing. My closet is enormous and overstuffed, why shouldn’t my daughters’ be?
My mother in law is very good to her grandkids and she does buy them lots of things, and get pretty extravagent(she rented a pony for my girls second birthday!) She just thinks expensive clothes are a waste for little kids. which i understand but i don’t see why she makes it such an issue…
and yes we have a college fund for each kid and retirement…

at what age did your baby outgrow SIZE 4 shoes?




size 4 shoes are on clearance but i’m not sure how many to buy. if he won’t outgrow them for a year i’ll stock up but i’m worried that if i buy the 4-5 pairs i’m thinking of he’ll outgrow them in a few months and it’ll be a waste of money
sorry i forgot to mention he is 7 months old right now. he is tall and skinny also
i ordered 4 pairs for thanks everybody. the website is http://www.darlingshoes.com/ and use coupon CITY85 for a 85% off coupon
