Look at my cute little baby! So many funny things could go along with this picture. I figured it'd be fun to open it up for a caption contest. The winner gets.....a thumbs up from me! (Highly coveted grand prize, eh!?) Trying to get some interaction here, people. Ok, go!Look at my cute little baby! So many funny things could go along with this picture.

If you know me at all, you know that I am a music fan. I love all music. I especially love when an artist feels their music. You watch him or her perform a song and it's as if he is in another world. Maybe he is. He's really experiencing his music, which in turn, gives his audience the absolute best musical experience. It tells a story and I just love it! One of my most favorite genres is probably soul music. Or maybe it's not even the genre necessarily. I love that raspy tone to a voice. I guess since I enjoy the feeling of music so much, for me, the rasp adds a touch of wear to a voice. A sense of world experience. You can truly believe their story because it sounds like they've been there, done that. I also really love how music mixes all kinds of people. You get the best songs and collaborations that way, in my opinion.
Here are a few videos I thought I'd share. An interview with Marc Broussard. If you don't know who he is.....check him out....now! Seriously, one of my favorites!
Marc Broussard said in an interview, "Music has never been about being perfect, it's been about the ebb and flow of life." That is so very true, and it's exactly what I love about music. It can be uplifting, make you dance, make you cry, make you sing along. It's a powerful, beautiful thing and I love it all. That's me, lover of music, honestly.

Linkin Park covering Adele's "Rolling in the Deep." What?! How different are these 2 artists? And yet, here they are covering her song....and all the fans are singing right along. THAT'S what's I'm talking about! (I love LP AND Adele!)
Lastly, I was flipping through stations the other day in the car. I settled on XM's The Message. The next song was a new one by NewWorldSon. I LOVED it. I had never heard of them before, so I made sure to look them up the next time I was able. (Does anyone else do this? I expand my musical collection all the time, simply by flipping channels on the radio. haha) They've been around since 2007. Turns out I DO know a few of their other songs, just never paid much attention. Here's one by them.....talkin' bout that sweet soul music. :)

We just had 2 large kids consignment sales in our area. I had never been to one of these before I got pregnant, but I went to my first one when I was around 6ish months. I just wanted to check it out. I didn't expect anything. I bought whatever I stumbled upon and liked. I was happy with the deals I found. This time around, our financial situation is a bit different. I prepared for these sales and I went in with a PLAN. I made a list of the items I wanted/needed. I put blinders on so I wouldn't deviate from the list too bad. I did end up with a few toys which weren't on the list. Anyway. I decided to track our savings this time.
Here's what I got for $150:
(2) Bumbo seats
(2) Bumbo trays
Boppy
Boppy cover
Bathtub
Mesh Bumpers (Breathable Baby)
Rainforest Jumperoo
Gated Play Yard
Cart/High Chair Cover
ABC Caterpillar
Parents' Shape Sorter
Spin and Discover Globe
All for $150! And I'm pretty picky. All of this stuff is in practically perfect condition. Compared to current retail prices, I saved nearly $300. I'm so thankful for programs/sales like this. One day, I'll return the favor by offering up my baby's things at a good bargain to a new mom in need. For now, my baby is loving her toys and products. And her thrifty momma! That's me, bargain hunter, honestly.
