A Sick Baby and Great New Finds

This morning I decided that I just couldn't stay in this little house all day with a screaming sick baby and an attention hungry three year old. The obvious thing to do for a baby who can't lay down due to congestion is to lay them upright. However, nothing was making her happy. After many attempts to get her comfortable I decided to put them in the car and head to Asheville. All moms know a baby can sleep best strapped in a baby carrier in the car. And nothing says fun to a three year like having goofy uninterrupted talks with mommy. So that is exactly what we did. We drove to Asheville to pick up my brides maid dress and gain some sanity on the way.

My mom tagged along because it was her day off. Being the generous person she is mom said she would pay if we ate Mexican food ( I had a cooler packed w/ sandwiches and snacks 'cause we beez po). Luckly I remembered a place my friends had told me about called PAPA'S and BEER. Oh baby! We were blown away. The stank Lone Star Steakhouse had been transformed into the most gorgeous and fun atmosphere! That's right.... AUTHENTIC MEXICAN CUISINE! This is not your Brevard El Chapala's we are talking about here. No, not even Celito's can compare to this place. All I'm saying is GO! You'll thank me I promise.

The next amazing find occurred when we were driving home and we were stopped in traffic. We spotted a trendy little building and decided to whip in. The name of the place was called "a fact". I found a vintage sheet set for $5 (I'll post pictures later) to make the girls a couple of outfits. But the greatest find there was a local mom who sells handmade bibs, fabric canvases, burp clothes, and such. Her company is Modern Baby Co. The prices were much cheaper at the thrift store than on her website!!! Eighteen dollar bibs were going for five dollars at the thrift store!?!?!

On four hours of sleep with a fussy baby, I would say that it turned out to be a stellar day.
