Parker's Little Birthday and such

My baby turned one on February 4th! I started crying about it the week before and kept crying on and off until the day of. We had a small party at the train park in Scottsdale and the whole time little Parker had a distant and confused look on his face (see pictures) I think it was because he has never been outside for that long before (he's a very sheltered child, my bad). My family came down from NM and all Mikes family was there, it was great feeling all the love from both sides. My dad's birthday was on the 7th so we made it a combined celebration, it was a wonderful day!

My great family along with my cute Grandma and my cousin Will!


The weekends have kinda become a joke for the Weed family, When it's Friday night and Mike and I are feeling lame about staying in we pack little Parker up in the stroller and walk to the grocery store? We can't justify spending money anywhere else and we both really like food so we just spend our weekends eating and watching Netflix. Pretty lame.

Our ghetto ally. I think Parker was pissed about having to go out with the Rents to the grocery store on a Friday night.
He had been jammin out to Rebecca Black's song Friday all day...

mikes attempt at putting Parker on his shoulders


Ha!

Saving the best for last. Thank goodness for cameras!

but he really needs them...

More than anything I love finding fun things for Little Parker, Of course all the things I like have to be crazy expensive or really hard to find.

Probably my most favorite toy as a child, a little Disney Train set that goes past rides and makes them move. I wish I hadn't gotten rid of it!

I found this great little Melissa & Doug house for a steal on Zulilly and I had to make it mine, The doorbells really work!

Look at his little face, I think he deserves all these special things!

He owns me...

Paying hommage to Goodwill.

I never did post about Thanksgiving, I never posted about Christmas, and I have yet to post about Parker's 1st birthday (I will) but here I am dedicating a post to Goodwill....
This past month the stars were aligned in my favor, I snagged so many great finds from my local goodwill that some gratitude must be payed. First I must explain the deep love that I have for thrift stores, I feel that once I have embarked over the stores threshold the sky is the limit, nothing is too expensive and treasures abound. I become a pirate plundering every isle filling my cart chock-full of loot.

This first little ditty is too charming for words, found for a mere $10. After some research I found its value to actually be around $150. I feel it will grace the walls of my home for years to come.

This great little crocheted dress was made with so much care. I can't wait to put it on my future mini me. I think it was $2 and it's in perfect condition!

This fabric was a "find of the day" I got about 3 yards of it and am currently in the process of making curtains for my kitchen. It is so sturdy and colorful.

This next find takes the Goodwill cake I was out in the drop-off area when a lady pulled with some boxes of things to donate, she pulled out this little treasure, saw Parker sitting in the stroller and asked me if I wanted it. I was thrilled (never turn down anything free, never) she said it was an antique child's chair and was happy it was going to a good home.

The next picture is of little Parker sitting in his new "big boy chair" it makes him nervous because his feet don't touch the ground so he gets stuck on it...he's very cautious, bless his heart.

It's a shame that both the men in my life are more opposed to Goodwill then any other retail store, little Parker starts fussing the minute we hit the entrance. It may be the curious smells wafting down each isle or the fact that I don't let him touch any toy until it has been properly sanitized. No matter, it is my sanctuary. Hopefully more successes are soon to follow.

cloth diapers...my new fetish

The Marc Jacobs of cloth diapers...new precious Chelsea Perry BumGenius diapers

Parker in one of his Magic-Alls. He loves how soft they are on his booty.



Fuzzi Buns! My favorite. Parker wears these and I love them. To think i'm saving money with these adorable little things pleases me to no end!


Bummis are always adorable. Things this cute and this eco-friendly are amazing to me!

Look at this new ruffle bum diaper from gDiapers! I didn't really love gDiapers but if i had a girl I would have to get this.

Cloth diapers these days are as trendy as designer bags...except they hold different things. haha.

This was awhile ago, with much persistence Parker now thoroughly enjoys winter squash, carrots, avocado, PEAS, and zucchini. I thoroughly enjoy cooking said food in my Beaba cooker.(thanks grandma)
