This week I made my first excursion to Whole Foods in over a month. Never mind what for (fruit sweetened, locally made, gluten-free cookies), I splurged ($3.50) and bought the last issue of Blueprint magazine. I thought perhaps they would go out with a bang, but eh not so much. In fact, they don’t mention that it’s folding (or did I miss it?) and they still had those magazine subscription postcards: a great deal, $6 for a years worth of issues… Except that, well, there will never be another issue. (You’d think they would have at least pulled those cards!) Anyhow, I’ve found that even the best issue of Blueprint pales in comparison to Domino. So, good riddance. Goodbye, Blueprint!
During our prenatal appointment on Monday, our midwife casually mentioned again how big the baby is (“Feel those long legs!”) and went through a check-list of things we’ll need once the baby is here… just the essentials: diapers, outfits (no newborn sized clothes for our baby — definitely starting off in the 0-3 month size!), and baby socks. “The baby will need socks. To be cozy and comfy.” SOCKS?! We hadn’t bought any. Whoops! I quickly ordered some organic ones online. They were on sale. They arrived today. Now we’re really ready. Phew!
David and I received Border’s gift cards for Christmas and instead of buying books for the baby (so tempting!), we decided to treat ourselves one last time before the little one gets here. My gift: Super Natural Cooking: Five Ways To Incorporate Whole and Natural Ingredients into Your Cooking
