Do not buy clothes without trying them on.

Sunday we went to the mall to do some Christmas shopping, after being there 2 hours I started to get burnt and ready to go. I was starving and sick and tired of fighting the crowds. So my last was something for me. I haven’t bought myself anything in a LONG time so I decided to treat myself to a few new shirts. I was so tired I really didn’t feel like trying them on. So I didn’t….big mistake. I know I know this is rule numero uno! I just couldn’t do it. I was so hungry that my stomach felt like it was going to eat it’s self.

I get home and try on the first two shirts. Perfect fit. Love them. Now for my favorite of the 3. I could not pull the thing over my boobs. I finally get it on and realize it has to be zipped on the side. Yeah that’s not going to happen. David tried to help me…he kept telling me ” Just suck it in…you know in the old days they had to do this”. So I take it off. Which was harder then getting the thing on.

Then the light bulb goes on in my head. Zip it up and then put it on. Ok…I get it over my head but this time it’s really not wanting to go over my boobage. I’m pulling the girls from the top and David is pushing them from the bottom. After what seemed like a hour I get the shirt on. The only problem is if I move the thing is going to rip to pieces. AHHH! So I will be going back and trying to find another one that FITS right. Which probably won’t happen since it was on the clearance rack. Pooh…I really like that shirt too! Oh well you live you learn right.

That would be how I describe what happens to me occasionally. It’s like *bam* you see every single dirt speck and you all of a sudden have to clean, clean, clean. Here’s how it normally happens to me.

I will be cleaning up the kitchen and putting dinner away and then I notice things that somehow get by me during the day. The next thing I know I have everything pulled out of the fridge and I’m scrubbing it down. Why must it bother me all of a sudden.

Here’s another example…I’m putting clothes away and decide that I need to rearrange the closet. So I must color code and hang everything up the way I think it should be.

Maybe I just have a bit of OCD I don’t know. Most of the time it drives my husband crazy. Not that he does not enjoy having a clean house…it’s just that these things happen at the wierdest times. Right before bed, when I’m supposed to be doing something else. Like I’m supposed to just being doing a quick pick up and I end up alphabetizing the Dvd’s or the books. Things like that. Thinking about it makes me feel like Bree on Desperate Housewives. Please tell me I’m not the only one who goes into Clean Freak Mode.

I recently had the chance to review a couple products from Born Free.
BornFree™ specializes in producing smart and safe baby products.
BornFree™ has developed a range of products baby bottles, cups and accessories that is totally free of the potentially dangerous chemicals Bisphenol-A (BPA), Phthalates and PVC.

The first product was the Orthodontic Silicone Pacifier

New from BornFree™, the BPA-Free Pacifier for Day and Night Use is an orthodontic silicone pacifier with a flexible handle that retains its shape and doesn’t hamper sleep. Made from materials that are 100% free of Bisphenol-A, Phthalates and PVC, the BornFree™ pacifier also features an orthodontic collapsible teat that encourages the natural development of baby’s teeth and gums and a breathable shield to reduce skin irritation and protect sensitive skin.

Rush took to these pacifiers…and he’s not really a pacifier guy. My favorite thing about them was the flexible handle. Now only does it not hamper sleep but it seemed much easier for him to pick up.

The next product was the Born Free Training Cup.

The first ever, BornFree™ Bisphenol-A Free plastic training cup, with a low vacuum valve, designed to create a free flow of liquid for your child’s comfort.

When I handed Rush the Trainer cup, he knew exactly what to do with it. He grabbed the handles and put it right into his mouth. You can also take the handles off and use it more like a bottle. With a soft spout it was similar to his bottles and made it easier for him to realize what he was supposed to do with it. It didn’t leak either which was great. I’ve tried similar products over the years with my other children and they always seemed to get to much milk from the spout.
