Sometimes store bought just works better for everyone :)<br /><br />5- Hooray for being a bridesmaid! I've done it twice now and loved it. Hope that you have lots of fun and that it's stress free!<br /><br />7- I may be interested in returning the guest post favor for the Marrying Young series! I'll work on something and let you know! I guess if you're interested that is. :)<br /><br />Have a great New Year!Katie@NFP and Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13368631674683587736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-60719596007197815282011-12-30T16:17:56.110-05:002011-12-30T16:17:56.110-05:00I am so glad that traveling with Lucia went well. ...I am so glad that traveling with Lucia went well. I love the Baby on a Budget series. Perhaps address the difference between items that we want vs items that we need for the baby (and ourselves). Also the tendency to compare our circumstances with others (how much clothing/ toys/ etc) and how it doesn't get us anywhere. And have a blast being a bridesmaid. It's so much fun!Ann-Marie Ulczynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13855303309031758189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-17600035746900534802011-12-30T14:35:51.384-05:002011-12-30T14:35:51.384-05:00Christmas with a new baby is so special!

Congratulations. <br /><br />I've not done my own 7 Quick Takes yet, but it's given me a chance to go blog hopping and discover bloggers I haven't read. :)<br /><br />Blessings for the upcoming Baptism!Amanda Borenstadthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03061109442550378113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-57772546541142449602011-12-30T14:15:30.044-05:002011-12-30T14:15:30.044-05:00I'd be interested in writing about (not) marry...I'd be interested in writing about (not) marrying young. My husband and I were 27 & 26 respectively when we got married (last June!)which, unless I'm wrong, is exactly the average age.<br /><br />:-) I dunno if you'd be interested in my side (I don't have any problem with anybody getting married at any age) or if it'd fit, but I'd have fun writing it.<br /><br />Also Merry Christmas, and congratulations on your little one, that's awesome!Katehttp://imperfectkate.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-34768117073440200272011-12-30T12:57:41.987-05:002011-12-30T12:57:41.987-05:00I have a friend who is the daughter of my dads bes...I have a friend who is the daughter of my dads best friend. After my dad passed away we didn't see them very often and then we moved from NY to TX. I got back in touch with her several years ago and we talk online and sometimes I see her when I go to NY to visit family. It's nice to see old friends :)<br /><br />I emailed you about your Baby on A Budget series (even though I don't have kids) but let me know if you got the email I know your out of town right now but my email has been weird lately. <br /><br />I look forward to reading more on the Marrying Young Series. When I first found your blog over the summer I read a few of the posts and enjoyed them. It's very interesting to hear different peoples perspectives. It's kind of funny we were talking about "weddings" in general the other night at dinner and my sister was all "who's getting married?" and my mom said "Hopefully SOMEONE SOON i'm sick of paying all the bills someone else needs to take over!"Beth Anne @ Beth Anne's Besthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10094756369530433566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-88628878245394048652011-12-30T12:44:09.285-05:002011-12-30T12:44:09.285-05:00We went to mass at the dusk vigil, and it worked o...We went to mass at the dusk vigil, and it worked out perfectly for us. Although there were a lot of babies at that mass, so it was very hard to concentrate with all the crying / babbling. On Christmas morning we made and ate breakfast before opening presents, so that slowed things down too.<br /><br />I agree about liking to give presents more...it is so exciting to find the perfect thing for someone! I also agree that it is tougher with a baby.<br /><br />I'm working on my baby budget post for you. I don't know if it will be exactly what you are looking for, but hopefully you like it!<br /><br />Happy New Year!kaylenehttp://www.lettersfrommomma.comnoreply@blogger.com
