[…] just stumbled on a past post from 2011, 100 Random Facts About Me, and realized that it is a bit out of date. So with a lack of creativity flowing through me today […]
lol on the Butt Freckles 🙂 This is a lively list. I like the jammies at Target even though they shrink like the dickens.
I buy mine from there, or maybe it is Kohls? The Nick & Nora brand. They don’t seem to shrink, and they are all adorable!
I’ve never seen the Nick & Nora brand at Target. I’ll have to check out Kohl’s
Do a search on Target’s website for ‘Nick & Nora’, they are great, haven’t had any shrink yet and they last a while.
