Stop The Insanity!!!

Breathe. Deeply. Have you ever received a catalog in the mail or gone into a store and said, "I want EVERYTHING in here?!" Well that was the case for me when I received the Back to Basics Toys catalog. How had I never heard of this before?! The sad part is that about half the stuff I want for my child, and half the stuff I want to play with myself. Here are just some of the MANY items I love from that store. You can get 15% off your entire order through December 12 with the coupon code RETMEN15. Happy shopping.

PS -- To any relatives who are reading, I already ordered a few of these items, so please check with me first if you are so sweet as to consider doing any Christmas shopping for the little one.
