When we first brought Zoie home from Ethiopia, we headed to Target to buy diapers and new jammies for her. Our 6 month old only weighed 7 pounds and needed newborn sizes quick! We live in a small town and Target is our new bright beaming light beckoning us through their doors. It’s located at the center hub between all our local schools. Zoie’s first Target run, the staff surrounded us with congrats and love. In fact, every time we visit the store, we feel welcomed home. They have a mini Starbucks inside, so we love to meet Gramma in the mornings after dropping Hannah off at school. I realized the other day, that Target and the amazing staff have become our good friends. This winter has been so cold, that instead of heading to the frozen park, we play at Target. Zoie was officially crowned Target Baby, so just for fun here’s our daily trek. It goes something like this:
8:00 am- Target doors open.
8:01 am- mommy runs heads to the Starbucks to order coffee.
8:04 am- Caleb, the best Target barista, makes my caramel macchiato foam peak 4 inches tall.
8:10 am- Zoie greets the incoming customers with “na na” (knuckles)
8:15 am- we start off speed walking our first lap by the $1 racks.
8:17 am- I spot my Sexy Hair spray on sale and make the dive.
8:20 am- we greet the morning staff busy restocking laundry detergent.
8: 25 am- we dart behind aisle #34 and cart 2 gallons of whole milk.
8:26 am- I drop my coffee and spray extra foam on my UGG. (darn!)
8:28 am- we swoop to the right and head to the toys.
8: 31 am- Zoie screams “cook” and heads to bake me a cake.
8:45 am- I give Zoie the 5 minuet warning that we’re going home.
8:50 am- Zoie’s still feeling zippy.
8:53 am- I tempt Zoie with a quick peek at the candy racks.
8:55am- we say good-bye to all our Target friends.
8:58 am- dash to the car and start our crazy day.
Do you have a Target baby or do you hang out somewhere else? I want to hear.

My Crazy List (a few things I think are just great)
- Little Monster Clothing Link- Abbie Kelly, owner. “I am blessed to be a part of a very large and loving family (there’s 15 of
us, 9 adopted- some of my siblings are on the website:). Our father had a routine of creating endearing names for each of us when we started to develop our own little personalities. Little Monsters Gear was created as a direct result of these loving little terms of his affection. Our Little Monsters try to capture the love that our father felt for each of his children and then we use these unique traits in each of our designs. My hope is that through our monsters you are able to see glimpses of the little monsters in your life.” - My girls screaming at each other!
