Shopping....

Every once in awhile I love to shop. Not at department stores but thrift and second hand. I don't care if its brand new, just so long as it is something I really like. Lately I have noticed that thrift stores are not so cheap, unless you get the sales or discounts, and a lot of times there really isn't much on sale. The price of everything is going up. I mean seriously I thought the point of a thrift store is so that people can get great deals.

I have had to look hard to find great steals. I guess it may be a blessing it is hard to find stuff for cheap because now I don't buy too much. I recently went through my clothes and got rid of two boxes. I have been downsizing and I love how I now wear everything I have. I have been slowly going through the entire house and  getting rid of anything that we don't use or need. I use to be a sorta pack rat, but I don't think I am any more. I know just about where everything is in the house and garage. Call it OCD, I call it knowing what you got! It is really easy to get cluttered, but it helps to every month or so go through the house and weed out.

Now I have to figure out what to do for gifts this year. I do not want to get a bunch of stuff. Yet I do want to get some fun things especially for the boys. If any one reads this what is a practical fun gift for an almost three year old and under one year old?
