source When I wander through the aisles of Target and Babies ‘R Us I can’t help but catch the registry bug. Everything is so small and cute and … sometimes impractical. Of course, everything has its’ purpose, but what do I really need? Not 10 rattles or 50 newborn onesies … that’s for sure.As I […]
The Mailbox is Brimming!
Since all of our showers have wrapped up I have been sending out gobs of thank you notes and prioritizing what we still need. Thanks to many of our wonderful friends and family I was able to place some online orders for last minute baby necessities! This is what has arrived in the mail so far […]
Baby Gear, My oh my
I’ve tried to be a minimalist with baby “stuff”. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’m doing a very good job :( In the beginning I had planned to just get a large purse for my and baby’s things. But seeing how full my own purse gets I can’t imagine fitting in baby’s things too. So, yes, […]
Ruffle Butt
I have a little stash of Target gift cards which are burning a hole in my pocket. I desperately want to go crazy getting cute and necessary baby items from our registry. But, alas, I’m trying to hold off. Primary for these pink ruffle butt diapers. If I don’t have a girl these could haunt […]
Practical?
Baby gadgets are the bain of my existence. But this one by Fisher Price seems kind of practical … do you agree? I like the idea that we can convert it for different stages of baby’s life. Welcome to my registry EZ Bundle 4-in-1 Baby System :)
Getting Ready to Flip
My dear friend, Mallory, gave me a gift certificate to Simple Cloth at my baby shower last week. This weekend I spent it (better to spend than misplace is my gift certificate philsophy) on a Flip Day Pack which consists of 2 covers and 6 stay-dry inserts. Thank you, Mallory!!!Joanna over at Baby Gator’s Den […]
Cheers to Tasha for planning my very first baby shower … from 2,000 miles away! Here is a glimpse of the invitation style. I love it’s vintage flair and gender neutral-ness. A big thank you to Tasha and the other shower hosts for all their time and effort in putting together this special day!
Meant to be?
Back ’round week 12 of pregnancy (ions ago, I know) I was sure as sureness can get that I was going to have a designer diaper bag. Since, I have come to grips with reality and gave myself a little pep talk. It went like this: “Girlfriend, you like to switch your bags too often […]
Baby Sleep Sacks
Whether a SIDS deterrent or just a cute nightgown I am all about baby sleep sacks. Can you say adorable? Maryjane Sleep Sack, available on Kim Scherer’s Etsy site Aden +Anais has some sweet ones too. Supposedly only available online and specialty stores, but I just spied some at Target, both online and in the […]
Laundry Detergent
When I’m trying to drift off to sleep I think of random things like, “OMG, what kind of laundry detergent should I use for all the baby clothes!” Right now we have this … from Costco: What do you use for your baby items? Do you separate baby stuff from the rest of the family’s […]
A Baby Carrier for Dad
We are in the market for a baby carrier for this guy … 6 feet, 2 inches – 260 pounds – crazy buff shoulders I totally thought I would be the baby wearer and Dom would be the bag carrier/stroller pusher. But no, he is very much into the idea of toting baby around. How […]
