For the past few weeks I have been scouring the internet in search of a blessing outfit for Owen. Let me tell you, it hasn't been an easy task! I assumed that it would be fairly simple to find something online rather than actually going shopping. Wrong! The more I looked, the more I realized that there is a serious lack of selection when it comes to boy's blessing/christening outfits. If I had wanted to put him in a little sailor outfit or a dress, there were plenty to choose from. But, I am kind of picky. I have this problem where I decide what I want and then I get frustrated when I can't find what I am looking for. I knew I wanted something simple. But nothing I found was simple. Everything has pleats and weird collars! I checked almost every website that came up in my Google search and narrowed it down to a few choices. Well, then I asked Todd his opinion. Those of you who know Todd will understand that this just complicated the situation. See, Todd is very picky AND very cheap. He suggested just putting Owen in a clean, white onesie and calling it good. Yeah right! After Todd shot down all of my online ideas, I decided it was time to hit the stores. There is this store in American Fork called Little Things Mean a Lot and they advertised a wide selection of blessing outfits. I was really impressed with how many different choices they had. Most of their outfits were way out of our price range. (I really can't justify spending over a hundred dollars on something he is only going to wear for an hour or two!) But, they had a section with outfits that had been marked down. We tried a few of them on Owen and found the outfit that we were looking for! I didn't like it at first, but Todd was all for it because it was the cheapest one there. Once I put it on him, it grew on me! It's simple, classy, and cheap! We ended up getting the outfit and some little shoes for $36. It seems like such a bargain considering all of my options on the internet were at least $50 plus shipping! So, if you want to see Owen in his little outfit, we are blessing him on Saturday the 29th. Everyone is invited! Give us a call if you need to know time and location! (And for those of you who can't come, there will be pictures on the blog afterwards!!)
