Self Indulgence

Okay, Okay, I know I'm nowhere near having this baby yet. But I never pass up a good deal when I see one. I had bought (at a very great sale price) a Sling EZee baby sling for my sister-in-law Keri and nephew Alex. Per her report, she and Alex love it. Hers didn't fit me quite right when I tried to carry Alex in it, it seemed like he was still riding too low on me. So I figured I'd need a petite size vs. regular.

These can retail for $59-$72 in most boutiques. Not for this bargain-hunter. I felt like I could use a little retail therapy the other day, and found a petite one on evilBay auctions. I stalked it for a couple days, and nobody had made any bids on it yet. So I put in the starting bid, and nobody else bid against me. My winning bid? $5.99! Shipping was only $6.95, so I got a stylish baby sling for $12.94. Not bad, mama!
Here's the style I got "black check" :

And here's a lovely model from the manufacturer's website demonstrating the hands-free convenience. Yeah, like I'm gonna be rakin' leaves with a baby strapped to me! Hah!

  2. I would hate to be the one to break the news to him that there are in fact no leaves to be seen. On another note, that sling looks really comfy:)
