~Tip of the Week:
Laugh until it hurts! I've noticed that I am less inclined to make an impulse purchase if I'm feeling really good, so do something that makes you really happy and laugh until you cry!
~How I Saved the Week:
I made salsa instead of buying it, made muffins and tea instead of going out to a coffee shop and used free yarn to make a cute sweater!
~ Worth It!
The Expectant Knitter by Marie Connolly
Retail: $27.50, 30 patterns
Pros:
I like the patterns, lots of top down seamless stuff, lots of really practical baby things and the patterns are well written and the photos are lovely.
HOWEVER: The author inserts MEDICAL ADVICE into the book, which is absolutely inappropriate. If it was just a book of patterns, it would totally be worth it, but as it is, I would not buy it. A library book for sure.

So I could not only post one, how do you pick! This is my fav.Hot Chocolate!
ReplyDeleteHot Peppermint Patty Cocktail
Grab your favorite mug and add 1 oz of Peppermint Schnapps, 1/2 oz of Dark Creme de Cacao, and 1 tsp White Creme de Menthe. Fill the rest of your mug with your favorite Hot Chocolate and top it off with Whipped Cream and garnish with Chocolate Sprinkles.
I think you might be over-worrying about what you call medical advice. It's just having a baby, not surgery, and the advice is readily available. In fact, more than readily, as pregnancy seems to be something that everyone has an opinion on that they'd like to share. I give out pregnancy advice all the time and I'm not a doctor. I have however had two babies and think this qualifies me to comment. Maybe the author has had loads of kids herself. I think the book sounds fun!
