I like fresh herbs.
Now if you were to overhear the lunacy of my little inner voice it would sound something like this:
There ya go, that wasn’t so hard to write now was it? Sure, declaring your affection for little miniature vegetables, to the Internet, is a little lame but it’s not like you’re standing in a banquet hall full of business associates, explaining how Baby Boom is the best movie ever. Now THAT would be one doofus move. But let’s not fool ourselves, Meredith, you need to maintain some degree of cool cred. So as far as we’re concerned you never bought any of those Celine Dion CDs.

Not even the threat of elves holding me down and beating me, could convince me to spend one-hundred and forty-nine dollars on an Advent calendar. Even so, I do like an Advent calendar. If only for the many instances an Advent calendar provides to bribe or cajole, my girls into behaving. Come December 1st, Ben and I almost exclusively discipline our girls by means of “The Advent Calendar Parenting Technique”. It goes something like this: Hey, listen-up, if you lick your sister ONE MORE TIME you will NOT open the little flap on your Advent Calendar tomorrow morning - she stops licking her sister – Do you understand?- she nods agreeably. Brilliant! Feel free to use this technique yourself and share with other parents. You’re welcome.
And there are other things I lust for but won’t buy because they’re either too expensive or, no that’s it, they’re just too expensive. It’s like the time I bought curtains at Restoration Hardware and when the total rang-up I threw my hands over my head because I thought I was in the throws of a mugging.
I like nice, stylish stuff, and you might too. So here’s my new grand plan…whenever I find stylish stuff on the cheapo, I’ll write a quick blurb and post it here on BuenoBaby. The blurb won’t appear in the main feed; you’ll need to click on the tab we’ve just added labeled Cheap-O-Baby (up there at the top of the page). Oh, there’s another thing I want to tell you. I will only review stuff I’ve paid for with my own money and will not be accepting freebies unless of course those freebies are True Religion Jeans or Maclaren Strollers (of course the kind that don’t amputate fingers). If I do begin accepting those sorts of freebies, you (the reader) will be made known of my compensation, and a new tab labeled “All the Rockin’ Crap People Send Me” will appear on the top tabs.
One final thing. I am only one woman and could really use your help (and this sentence has cost me thousands of dollars in therapy – thank you Dr. Harris for helping me to identify my limits and ask for help when I need it). So, if you have a cheapo-style-find just shoot me an email with a link, I’ll check-it out and if it works, I’ll feature it on Cheapo-O-Baby. Make sure to send along your info so that I can publish it along with your featured cheapo-style-find.
Alright, that’s all I have for today. All BuenoBaby readers uninterested in anything I just wrote, please enjoy the photo below and have a nice rest of your day. For all you other cheap bastards like me, please click here or the Cheap-O-Baby tab above.
