This is the first day of my life.

Who would have thought?

I mean, when I first met my husband (I was all of 14) I would have pretty much done ANYTHING to avoid that preppy horrible vile everyone-looks-like-clones Gap. I was perfectly happy in anything with a band name (my seventh grade pic featuring a HOLE t-shirt sums it up.) or plastic skirts (ala Cher from Clueless. I had at least 4.) or anything belonging to my mother in the 70s, my father in the 60s or my brother- who at the time was like 4 or 5. There were multiple occasions when I’d wear a shirt meant for a toddler and end up having to CUT IT OFF when bedtime came.

Anyways, this part is only important because somewhere along the lines, my husband convinced me that Gap was awesome. I think since he is a bit conservative, he probably loved the fact that I dressed like *insert here* but once we were dating probably preferred that I look like everyone else in my high school.

At that point I had successfully merged that off-limits prep style with my own and we were at a happy medium that until I got epically fat. And then I had “nice sweats” for going out. But that’s a whole other story.

The point- when I found out I was pregnant I pictured my child dressed in a certain fashion. I didn’t want him or her to be like every kid. I HATE baby clothes! (or so I thought) But at some point it happened. I FELL INTO THE GAP!

And luckily, most gift givers are also Gap lovers. So, Hudson gets a TON OF GAP STUFF. At Christmas he even got doubles of stuff. (how original!) prompting me to have merchandise credits over $250.00!

And last night- we went in to Baby Gap and bought these super DUPER cute items. It was even cooler because, after spending wayyyyy too much- I still walked out with my wallet UNTOUCHED!


Because HELLO! His birthday party is robot themed and ORANGE. WIN!


Hi there, little orange skinny jeans. Sawyer cannot wait to be 6-12 months and to rock these with little black cons and a cute t-shirt.


Luckily, she will have this little jumper to hold her over till the skinny jeans fit. Size 3-6 months. With matching diaper cover. I DIE.

Anyways. I love Baby Gap. I am going back today even. It’s definitely a problem & when my credits run out, I will be cut off. Which, really- makes me quite sad.

    OMG! Kerri the entire line is fruit themed. It’s called Popshop I think. It’s one of the new collections.

    I, too, have a problem. I seem to make online purchases from either Baby Gap or Old Navy on a weekly basis. The stuff is so cute, it’s hard to resist! Plus, it seems like if you buy online there’s a 25% off discount code you can use pretty much every time…
