I take care of my niece and nephew full time. I love caring for them even though it's a crumby situation but I love them like they are my own. Which means, I'm always on the look out for a fabulous find. I love once upon a child for this reason. I'm always going in checking out anything new...just in case. Whether it be clothes, toys, or maybe even a book. I"m at the store shopping with the kiddos. Recently I found a Chrisha's playful plush rocking horse. I was thrilled, especially at the price. $20 (they retail brand new at almost $100) plus I had finally filled up one of my many rewards cards!! This horse was mine!! (really the kids, but still). They love it and it's always one of the first toys they play with in the morning!! They can not get enough of the awesome toys I find and I can not get enough of once upon a child!!
