A Few of My Favorite Things


Anyone who knows me knows I'm all about a good deal. My brother once asked me if I pay full price for anything and at that point my answer was yes, ink for my printer and gas. Now that's no longer true since I discovered Rapid Refill Ink and HyVee gas (daily discount plus an additional three cents a gallon if you pay cash).


However, in addition to getting a good deal, I also like to support the small businesses. I've already told you about a couple of those that I love (Sportraits LLC and Betsy Milder Photography) and I'm going to share another one today (be on the lookout for more in the future).


I found out about babysoftshoes on Craigslist (I foresee another post on this one day, lol). Myself and two of my co-workers placed an order with her on our morning break on a Friday for a total of five pairs of shoes I believe. One pair was already made, however, she still needed to make the other four. Less than 12 hours later I got an email from her that they were made, shipping label printed, etc. This was not a fluke either as the next order I placed was lightening fast also. She is very friendly and easy to work with, she has great prices, she's super quick, they actually stay on, and are one of a kind. I've had a crazy number of pregnant friends and relatives this year and all of them have/are getting a pair. I've given my gift (paired with a Sportraits newborn ornament) knowing it would not be a duplicate that would be returned.


Check out her website and tell her Shannon sent you :).
