We are having a blast on our annual Bald Head beach week. Emerson is at a great age for playing in the surf and digging in the sand, so it’s been very relaxing compared to the previous two years! She was SOOOO excited when we arrived at the ferry because she finally understood where we were going. We’ve been spending our mornings on the beach, and nap time either on the porch or out and about on the island if…
I have been to the movies approximately once since Emerson was born, but really want to go see this and this! These cows with blowouts made me laugh out loud. I want an excuse to make this party spread. These shorts are awesome and I’ll probably wear them next summer too. This time of year I always dream about our honeymoon and this hotel specifically. I don’t think I’ll ever find a view that’s better than this as long as…
-After returning three backpack diaper bags (Skip Hop, Land – aka a million fake versions of this “brand”, and Mina Baie), I ordered the Freshly Picked bag in Birch and think it’s the one!. It’s very similar in size to my Hershel, but looks a little nicer for my daily bag and has more pockets, including exterior water bottle pockets which were a must! Also, you can use the 20% off coupon at Buy Buy Baby which made the price…
Anyone else exhausted by the end of the weekend? We had a fabulous summer weekend that included time with friends, eating out, and celebrating Matt. A friend of mine from Dallas was in town on Friday, so we spent the morning with our girls at the splash park and playground. I walked there and back (about 2 miles) and wasn’t sure I could make it home. Walking is hard! We got takeout for lunch and came back to our house.…
As I head towards the third trimester in a few weeks, I’m starting to think to my to-do and to-buy lists. Luckily, this time around, these lists aren’t quite as long. One of the best things about this pregnancy has been being able to relax a bit more (well, mentally, not physically) because I generally know what’s to come. I’m giddy with excitement because I can’t wait for the baby stage. I’m less worried about labor (although still anxious that…
Hello, I got a bunch of requests on Instagram to write a post about how we weaned Emerson from the pacifier. I’m no expert here (just Googled some ideas and decided to go with the paci fairy!) but figured I’d share our experience in case it’s helpful for others. First of all, there are so many different opinions about when to do it. -People told me 6 months or she’d get more addicted (she did) -My dentist told me at…
Billie Razors – I’m loving my new razor (although I cut myself just this morning..). It seems just slightly sharper/better than Venus, but is so much cheaper ($9 for 4 blades), and I appreciate that I never have to worry about going out to buy them because they arrive automatically. Lily Lolo Mascara – finally found a clean mascara that I’m happy that it’s not crazy expensive. Puracy Stain Remover – I read about this on PB Fingers and love it!…
Whew. What a wonderful whirlwind of a wedding weekend! We flew to Philadephia early Friday for my sister-in-law’s (Matt’s younger sister) wedding! While the early morning flight went smoothly, the airport was packed. In an attempt to avoid bag check fees, we brought too many bags, and ended up leaving one of Matt’s at the crowded gate. Arg. Because it was our fault, we couldn’t figure out who to contact and no one at the airport would answer the phone.…
-I’m definitely procrastinating packing for the wedding weekend by writing this post. -The baby kicks have been getting big this week, and Matt and I are still kind of in awe that another one is coming!! -We are trying Sunbasket this week and I really like it! It’s less work than Blue Apron and better quality than Hello Fresh. I don’t think we could afford to do it every week (a friend gave me her code), but it has been…
