Baby Clothes and Mommy Clothes

Baby clothes are addictive....regardless of how packed Julia's closet gets packed I continue to buy her more clothes. They are so cute...and now that she's mobile they are even cuter.

Hi, my name is Amanda and I'm an addict. I'm addicted to buying baby clothes.

So there I confessed and took the first step to baby clothing sobreity. The dresses, the smocked rompers...oh the rompers and frilly diaper covers. The ice cream print diaper cover and pink frilly top. The teeny tiny bows that delicately clip in her super soft baby hair and she has no clue. Gymbucks for Gymboree.  AAAAHHHH it's all so cute. It's so much fun to dress her in the mornings. And when she makes a mess of an outfit that means a new one! Yay!

However, yesterday I realized that I'm out and about with this darling little girl in her cute get-ups while I look like a wreck. Not that my facial didn't take (I have that glow again...) but tennis shoes, work out crop pants and an oversized T just don't match up to her little pink frilly romper and tiny pink bow. So I guess being a busy try to do it all mom results in this dishoveled looking woman. I just have so much more to do. Afterall, I'm just returning to do yard work or crawl on the floor. Don't get me wrong there are some days that getting ready trumps it all and I get dressed, fix my hair, apply make up and tote my little cutie while running errands. However, 85% of the time workout shorts and tshirt wins. However, I'm realizing I'm not alone. After two days of playdates, I'm seeing that I'm not the only mom showing up in my workout/gardening wear. Does Julia really care what I wear right now? Nope. Lets save all of that energy for when she's older and realizes what is going on with Mommy.

Hey, maybe I will take up tennis so I can atleast wear the cute tennis outfits everywhere including the drs office, mall, grocery store and park!! Maybe I could just skip tennis and wear them anyways...who would know?
