Born to Shop

 

 

 

 

 

“Don’t we all love to shop – some start earlier than others. This photo of my daughter at 1 ½ yrs old is digging through my shopping. At 2 yrs now, she gets off the shopping cart and takes toy necklaces off the shelves and accessorizes herself before we leave the store! Should I be nervous?”  – Stephanie Lee
