-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…
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!…
-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…
Hello out there, I feel like it’s been a while since I just sat down and chatted with you all. Time is moving so fast these days, and I know that summer is going to fly by. Last weekend, four of my college friends came to town to shower one of our other friends with gifts for her bundle of joy. I’m so excited that these friends are starting to have babies. Watching each other become mothers was definitely not…
Hello! It was a gorgeous weekend here in Charlotte and we barely left the house! Friday, some friends invited us to a Seder (a little late bc so many of their friends were out of town on Easter weekend) and it was lots of fun! I had never been to one (fun fact: I didn’t have a Jewish friend until college because the rural town where I grew up had zero diversity) and really enjoyed experiencing another religious holiday celebration.…
We got these Serena & Lily dining chairs to replace the uncomfortable old wooden ones that came with our table. We opted for outdoor bistro chairs because they are so much cheaper than upholstered chairs and figured they’d be kid friendly. This video made me smile (and want to get up and dance). I tried this Beautycounter mascara and this popular mascara, and ended up just going back to old faithful, Lights, Camera, Action because they were both bad.…
A few things I’m loving lately: Pepita salsa – this salsa from Trader Joe’s makes the best crockpot chicken. Just two ingredients and a major upgrade from regular salsa crockpot chicken. Collaborating with other independent schools – I’ve had a couple of calls/visits with schools this week as part of my research, and it’s been so fun to hear about what other independent schools are doing in terms of social and emotional learning. Everyone has just been so nice and…
Happy Valentine’s and Galantine’s my friends (although judging from the comments on my last post, some of you are definitely not my friends…joking, kind of). -I’m pro-Valentine’s because February is a dreary month and it gives us an excuse to eat some kind of dessert and be extra gushy. Matt’s traveling today, but we enjoyed a date night this past weekend at Haymaker and called that our celebration. I also snuck some treats in Matt’s work bag. -Emerson was sick…
Hello, and happy polar vortex week. I hope you guys are staying warm out there. Matt and I had a really low-key weekend, as we were both dealing with colds that were just dragging on and left us feeling tired. We did manage to eat some Mexican food (spices are good for colds, right?) at Supernica. This might be a new favorite, especially since the salsa is some of the best I’ve had. And the kids meals come with popsicles, so…
