| one | Two weeks ago I posted about M needing this adorable jacket... So the very next day Old Navy had a massive sale and I was super excited to get it, except it wasn't in stores. Long shopping adventures story short I finally got it yesterday!!  | two | When I turned on my laptop this morning I saw I had an update available. Naturally I clicked on it to see what it was all about. OS...

Homemade Coffee Creamer

It's no secret to those who know me [in person] that I like a little coffee with my cream. Yeah you read that right, I use lots of cream in my coffee. A couple of months ago after seeing so many recipes on Pinterest I decided to try making my own creamer. Except I didn't have some of the ingredients they were calling for and no fancy cream bottle to contain this deliciousness in. I got over...

A Little About My Mr

1. He is truly a kid at heart. Playing games of any sort is something he loves doing. I know that he is looking forward to M to get a little older so he can make forts and buy a set of Nerf guns. 2. He is ridiculously good at games, like really good, people give up or will stop playing because he always wins. 3. He hates sleeping in and I [did] love to sleep. He would much rather wake...

| one | My friend posted a picture of a ball pit she made for her son. This has been on my husband's to do list for as long as I can remember. Last week we drove all over the place to find the perfect "pit". Sadly when we put M in it he freaked out. Then all of sudden over the weekend he fell in love. He literally crawls up to in and dives in and swims on top of the balls it is hilarious. |...

DIY Baby Footprints

Whaaaaa, a DIY/crafty post? Before my freetime was consumed by cleaning, cooking and all sorts of other chores I actually enjoyed crafty things. I am a perfectionist so most projects took me forever hence why I have given it a rest for a while. I love baby toes, especially M's tiny toes, so stinkin' cute. I have been trying to find the perfect way to save these tiny prints with out spending...

So What Wednesday

So what if.... - I have wanted popcorn for the past couple of nights but don't even consider making it because M's room is right by the kitchen. I have no desire to eat popcorn any other time if the day. - My 6 month just got 2 new pairs of Converse and he can't even walk yet. We got an amazing deal on them $11.99 each with tax included no shipping. Couldn't pass them up! I love diapers.com...

Baby Wearing

This week is International Baby Wearing Week!! This post has been on my to-do list for some time. After reading Andrea's post I knew there was no time like the present. When I was pregnant with M, I knew that I wanted to breastfeed, and much later into my pregnancy I decided to cloth diaper. But baby wearing? No! I thought hmmm I'll get a Bjorn and we can use it when we go to a museums...

Why I Love Fall

Pumpkins: Not for carving because I am really terrible at that one year I made this really cute (or at least I thought so) fishbowl carving only to cut the wrong pieces and ended up with a gaping hole on the side. Thank goodness for my mother in law who performed surgery on it and pinned everything back in place. I mean for eating. If there is a pumpkin flavored treat I'm trying it and chances are...

5 On Friday

|one| I'm really conscious of what I put on and in M's little body. I have never cared more about chemicals then I do now. |two| With that being said I received my first essentials bundle this week from the Honest Company. I'm beyond exited to use everything!! I got their hand and face lotion, baby oil, produce wash, healing balm and all purpose cleaner. |three| M & I are having breakfast together...
