As intended, I took advantage of the World Market friends and family sale over the weekend. I decided to get there on Friday morning soon after they opened so I could have my pick of the furniture.

So despite an extra trip to World Market, all's well that ends well. Unfortunately, new chairs still won't make the kids who sit in them try new foods. Let me know if you have solutions for that!
