$1 Meatball Plates at Ikea

My favorite thing is back, the $1 meatball plates at Ikea. They are yummy and between the meatballs and the mashed potatoes one plate is enough for me. John eats 2, but hey for a buck I can handle that. The kiddies love them as well so it makes for quite the cheap night out. It is going on this Friday through Sunday. Maybe we will see you there!

Re: Baby Model

Actually, I'll take any infant (boy or girl) that weighs between 12 and 15 pounds who is willing to try on my dress :)

Baby Model

Does anyone have a 13 pound baby girl?

Hehe, that was a weird question. The thing is, I am making my niece's blessing dress (and she lives in Idaho) and I am, of course, doing it in typical Chontal style (which means without a pattern) and I need a baby to try it on to make sure it fits/works.

So, that said, does anyone have a 13 pound baby girl who is willing to try on my blessing dress?

Thanks,
Chontal
