Clothing

Not too long before I found out I was pregnant, a Savers -- a nonprofit resale store that benefits Big Brothers Big Sisters -- opened close to my house. Not wanting to spend a whole lot of money on maternity clothes I'd need for only a few months, I took my kid sister's advice and stopped in.

Well, the maternity section was somewhat limited, but I did manage to find a pair of pants in my size. Our local store has TONS of other clothes, though, and I plan to browse the baby section really soon. It amazes me how quickly my daughter has outgrown her clothing. We had plenty of clothes we received as baby shower gifts in newborn to 6-month sizes, but now that she's 5-plus months old, I've noticed that her closet has thinned out quite a bit. She's got enough to get by until she gets a little closer to 9 months old, but not beyond that. I hope to find enough to get her through the summer.

thredUP

Yesterday, I heard about a site called thredUP . Through this site, you can buy used clothes for your growing child from other parents, and sell the ones your child has outgrown. As quickly as our little girl goes through clothes at this stage, I think this sounds like a great idea. I'm constantly pulling clothes my daughter has outgrown out of her closet, and I feel like she's forever running out of clothes that fit her. I plan to look into it a little more, and I just might give it a try.

Frozen Dinner Thoughts

I've been trying to give some thought to what kinds of foods would make good homemade frozen dinners.  (My first post on the topic is here .) Tomorrow is grocery day, so I'd like to have an idea what kinds of things I can make to make sure I have all the ingredients. So far, I'm planning stew (per my husband's request) and a crustless cheeseburger quiche. Hopefully, I can think of another seven options between today and tomorrow.

TV Time

I'm still looking for a lighter TV , but I hope to buy one within the next couple of weeks. I don't like that so many that I see come with only a yearlong warranty. I don't trust that. Odds are -- based on the reviews of the ones I've seen -- the TV will outlast the warranty, but I just dislike the idea of shelling out $300 or $400 for something that the manufacturer has only a year's worth of confidence in. Based on what I've found in researching TVs, though, I'm probably not going to get a better warranty than that, so I'll likely just have to suck it up.
