Isn't it a great feeling when you go to compliment someone on their outfit and learn that it was actually budget-friendly? That's how I felt about this under $25 blouse.

Even though I was a kinder and first grade school teacher for several years, I really didn't have much experience with babies. This was ALL new to me, but I was determined to learn as much as possible. ...
