I wish more people shared this point of view. These are the kinds of things my husband and I are doing in preparation for the arrival of our baby this summer. I'm currently struggling with the issue of baby showers. I love that people want to buy us things, but I prefer to get things used. People wanting to buy us baby gifts are somewhat befuddled by this. Also, I'm shocked with how many things people think you NEED for your baby. It seems that if they make it, people think you need it. We are hoping to minimize the toys and baby gear we buy for our little one. I'm enjoying your blog. I posted a link to it on my blog in my post today. Kudos to you.

I'm appalled when I see those studies that say, "Wait, don't have kids it costs $millions." Very nice piece on living the good life - I'll link this up in my ED round ups tomorrow.
