I saw something about Lularoe leggings the other day and I kind of like the fun patterns, but only for lounging at home or working out (and I don't think they're workout leggings). Plus, I feel like it's more trouble than its worth to find someone selling them. And I don't trust that they'd be great quality either.Mattie @ Northwest Nativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05164010338046849742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91257313128798748.post-36970885715019634682016-02-25T22:04:04.372-08:002016-02-25T22:04:04.372-08:00Sometimes you just need to eat a bunch of cookies,...Sometimes you just need to eat a bunch of cookies, right?!?<br />The chicken thing bothers me, too.

I know life would be so much easier if I could get over that one little thing, haha. And I think some of those Facebook groups are a joke. I'm on a few as well & people do the exact same thing! I have completely given up on trying to sell anything on there.

I wish I could just buy all of it already prepared, lol. Wishing you the best of luck with the promotion - it's hard to be your own worst critic and feel like you are always selling yourself short! I don't know much about the LulaRoe leggings, but from what I've seen they are just a little too out there for me!

And poppy diapers, bring em on! Louise has gone through a two week stretch of painful/limited poops (TMI?). I feel so badly for her and just want a huge blow out! Weird? Ha! Have you tried Kidizen for selling? I use it and love it. People don't say INT, they buy it, you get paid then ship it. Easy! There are small fees, but it's worth it for pricier items and people can't back out. I also buy a lot on there! LuLaRue...still waiting to find a style I love.

So gross. You are amazing for giving up coffee. I might once my girls get older. For now it is my lifeline. Having twins you need coffee. Heck having kids you need it. Our kids must think we are crazy when we get excited that they pooped. I am going to have to do the consignment sale. That means more work, but at least we will get it all out at once.

I did an all too large happy dance when Wes pooped last night- it freaked him out and he started crying haha. Lululemon is my fave too, but I recently bought a couple pair from old navy and they're super comfy- not to workout in, but for casual wear.
