Well, it happened....motherhood changed things.  Before becoming a mother, I would be at the mall at least once a month.  Frequently, I could even spot out random girls and tell you where they bought their shirt (and what year...).  I insisted I'd be the same after I had a baby (attempt to be a hip mom and all...)...but...I think I've ventured to the mall a total of five times since our boy was born.  I finally did it though - I broke down and bought myself a new pair of shoes!!  It's my first shoe purchase since having a baby.
