I'm back!

Did you think I was ever coming back? :)
My vacation was a little longer than I had anticipated, but it was so nice. It's good to be back and there is nothing like fresh Montana air to clear your head, but this girl has got to get her head on and get back to a routine after crazy, lazy summer days and 50 hours (roundtrip) of time in the car with 5 kids! Wowsers!
I was sure if we stopped to pick up a hitch-hiker, he would take a peek in the van and say,
"ummm, thanks, but I think I'll walk." My husband was too nice to try it though... :)

I picked up some fun thrifty treasures at yard sales while we were visiting and wanted to share:

a sweet little fall wreath for $1:

shabby hook for .50:

Karen Neuberger pj's for $1.50 (Oprah introduced me to KN, and I love them. My mom got me some after my 2nd baby, and they have been my favorite pjs)

Dooney & Bourke handbag for fall (not authentic, but I still loved it)

I hit the jackpot for kids' clothes Friday morning at a yard sale: it was all you could stuff into a shopping bag for $1. I stuffed 3 bags full (this is only about half of what I got), so my grand total was $3. I was dying that they had a bunch of boys size 5T jeans without any holes~miracle!! I also got a bunch for my oldest daughter. The only thing I had to buy for my son this year was underwear and socks. Yard sales have been a huge blessing for us for saving $$ on kids' clothing.

I don't even want to talk about what I couldn't bring home at these fantastic sales, but let's not dwell on that...I also got a lot of vintage toys I'm going to try to sell on Ebay~I'll let you know how it goes...

It's good to be back!
