No Sugar Added

http://www.nosugaraddedshop.com

So this weekend was the grand opening of my friend Summer's business. She has had a successful on-line business for two years and decided that now would be a great time to open a store. She and her husband found the perfect location in the Claremont Village. I tell you, the location is perfect! It is two stores down from Starbucks and just north of Heroes Restaurant and Some Crust Bakery. Perfect right?! I have helped my friend in the past with some of the open houses she did for her on-line customers and also had the opportunity to go on a buying trip to Las Vegas with her and our sons last year. Now she is giving me the opportunity to work in her store and the best part, I can take Mattias with me! I'm sure I will sometimes leave Mattias with Michael or Gramy when they are available or need a little Mattias time. But when they are not available how great is it to be able to take my son to work with me?:) I don't plan to start working full-time anytime soon, but being able to earn a little bit of extra money while spending time with friends and my son is such a huge blessing! You should come by and visit the store when you can. It is a great store for babies, toddlers, and anyone who knows anyone that has (or is having) a baby or toddler... I sold so many items for shower gifts:) Next baby I know where I will be doing my shopping! All products are healthy for baby and the earth.

I love a bargain....

Today I went to HomeGoods (for about the 3rd time this week). I am so excited about my latest bargain; a Martha Stewart Collection Reversible Down Comforter. Original price: $180.00. My price: $36.00!! I love getting a good deal. If only the duvet cover I want from Pottery Barn would go on sale.... It is so fun getting ready for a new home. I can't wait!
