A Little Online "Shopping"

I cashed in a bunch of my My Coke Rewards points. I got a bookmark with picture frames in it that we'll give as gift to one of our daughter's grandmas, though I'm not sure which yet. I also bought a couple of extras for myself, a light that I can use while I'm beading and a steamer for healthier cooking.

My Rewards Points are at a very low level right now, but I'm hoping that I can build them up and that a few more items that would be good for gifts might become available between now and the holidays. For the past few years, I've been trying to get as much shopping done early as possible, which means I'm typically done before Black Friday, but it's worth it to me to beat the crowds.

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.
