Jake and I went crib shopping over the weekend. We are both the most indecisive people on earth, especially when it comes to big purchases. The Baby’s Room in Michigan was having a big sale and almost all of their furniture was on sale. Instead of picking something out and being on our way, we hemmed and hawed and couldn’t make up our minds. To be fair, we are concerned about a) getting it over the border because Jon is the only one with a truck and he’s super busy and b) having to pay duty and taxes on the furniture if it’s not made in North America. There’s not much point in a discount if we’d wind up paying regular price anyway once you factor all that in. We have a long weekend coming up in two weeks, so we’re planning on going up to Toronto to check out the factory outlet store for Mother Hubbard’s Cupboards, which is a company that sells furniture made in Canada. There is a dealer in Michigan, but the factory outlet in Toronto sells their furniture at a discount, has discontinued items, etc. We’re hoping we’ll find something there because then we don’t have to worry about getting it over the border.

We didn’t walk away from The Baby’s Room without making a purchase, though. We found bedding that we fell in love with, so we ordered it. It’s bedding that I must’ve passed over 150 times during my online searches because the pictures online do the set absolutely no justice. I don’t even want to post pictures here because I would rather get the room together and post our own pictures – that’s how crappy it looks online. I feel like a dummy for changing my mind so many times. That’s why I’m afraid to tell family and friends about our registries because I keep tinkering with them! LOL!
