Blowing the Budget...

Emma had a day off from school on Monday. We could have stayed home, but without the four-year-old to slow us down, we ventured out for a trip to the beauty salon, hit all our favorite stores, enjoyed a bite to eat at Olga's Kitchen, and then came home in time for Emma to model a few new outfits before Dad and Josie arrived to see all the "new" purchases.

I even convinced Emma that we needed to squeeze in a trip to my favorite antique store for some inspiration.

All in all, a splendid day... but the budget was definitely blown.
Maybe it's a good thing that my work/University is far away from the malls.
This could be a dangerous habit.

PS. Stock up on some felt and cupcake liners.

Tea parties and felt cupcakes are on the agenda next.
