Why, hello friends!!  Happy Friday!!  Things are busy busy around here.  This week baby girl and I were alone for a few days while papa was on a business trip.  Let me just tell you, E and I had the best time.  I was prepared for chaos, but she was so calm and happy.  BUT I am still so tired and ready for the weekend!  Matt does a lot around here and we sure miss him!

Recently, we also took a trip for E to meet her Great Grandma White, gone hiking, Eleanor has busted out of all of her clothes, had a fourth month well visit, cried with another new momma in the bathroom because we missed our babies, started rice cereal, taken lots of naps, and eaten more than our fair share of pizza.

…and we have a winner of the Meijer Spring Beauty Event + Giveaway!…Nataly C.!  Be on the lookout for an email from us later today!!  Thank you to all who entered!

Hope you all have an excellent weekend!

The Meijer spring beauty event is here!  Pictured above are some of the new products I picked up this season at Meijer!  My favorite item so far is the Cover Girl Oh, Sugar in Sprinkle.  Smells divine and actually goes on more like a lip gloss which I love!

As you all know, coupons are my jam.  The amount of joy I feel when I get a good deal is just not right.  Since having a baby, I simply do not have the time for the work that paper coupons require.  Meijer offers mobile coupons called mPerks that you can digitally load as you shop.  Super easy.  Right now they have so many coupons specifically for your spring beauty needs that takes additional money off of their already low prices that have been further lowered with sale prices during the spring beauty event that goes until April 30.

AND NOW for the fun part!   Meijer asked me to create a spring beauty bundle to giveaway to one of you all!  EEEK!! I had so much fun creating this bundle for all of your spring beauty needs!  Enter through the widget below and I will mail one of you all the goodies shown below!

Giveaway ends next Friday, April 29th!  Open to US residents, 18 or older, only!

Have a great weekend all!

Hi, friends!  It is FINALLY that time of year.  Spring temps are approaching, the days are getting longer, and I think we might have had our last snowfall.  Around this same time last year, I posted my spring cleaning tips and my goal this year was to complete my spring revamp before returning to work.  I feel like when my house is put together and everything has a place, I just feel more put together overall.  I spent the entire day last Saturday doing just that.  I tossed products that weren’t working for me anymore, replaced makeup that was drying up, and deep cleaned our bathroom.  I tend to hoard products and love trying everything out as soon as I get it, but the result is stuff everywhere.  So, each spring, and really at the start of each new season, I look forward to going through what I truly use everyday and organizing it so that it is simple to find in the mad dash that is our mornings.  This means sorting several spaces in our house and cleaning out each makeup bag that I keep in my bag stash by the door (work bag, baby bag, errands bag, etc…).

Some of the products I am loving for the new season are the new Tresemme new Reverse System, Covergirl Matte Lipcolor in Passion, Aveeno Absolutely Ageless line, and the new all-in-one Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water (I especially love using this in the morning!)

All of these products and more can be found at Meijer!  And…as always, for such a deal–and you know I love a good deal!

What are your spring cleaning tips?  Any products you are loving this season??

Happy Saturday!!
Erin

Happy Friday, friends!! I have a quick moment this afternoon because the little one went down for a nap IN HER CRIB!  Baby girl sleeps pretty great at night, but LOVES to be awake/held/in her rocker during the day which means I am sleeping, but productivity during the day is nil.  So let’s get to it: here’s what I am loving this week!

  1. Eleanor’s nursery gotta a little girly update from her Aunt Nennie, who gave her this Oh Joy print from Target.  The whole collection is amazing and it isn’t in any of our Targets!  Auntie to the rescue!
  2. This hat is in the girls’ department, but maybe it will fit me?  I LOVE the color!
  3. Why oh why is this doll sold out?!  I hope it comes back in stock in time for E’s Easter basket!
  4. I have been wanting this vase forever, it’s about time it made it into one of these little roundups!
  5. I treated myself to this bangle and the mom bangle  while out shopping solo the other weekend.  I love having reminders of my sweet girl with me all day–this will be especially important when I return to work in a few weeks!
  6. I need these shoes.
  7. When Matt gets home, he gets his Eleanor and daddy time and mommy heads off to take a shower.  Feels like a trip to the spa with a quick face mask and fancy shower gel!
  8. Speaking of spas…this mama could use a work up.  Hair, nails, and a reminder about how to wear makeup.  Pretty much all I wear is chapstick and when I am feeling fancy, a quick swipe of lip color.  Gotta get back in the groove!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Life Lately…

We officially brought our sweet pea home December 22nd!  It was a surreal experience walking her through our door and showing her her new home!
(Home Onesie, Bear Slippers-Gap old, may be able to find on clearance in-store?, Swaddle Blanket-JCrew old)

  We had two doctor’s appointments for her in the first week and we were late for both, but she did great!  Back to birth weight within a week!
(Booties-$5 and free shipping!, Car Seat, Diaper Bag)

Santa was good to this mama. This year–he knew just what I needed to feel like a human again!
(Sugar Lip Treatment, NARS Eye Makeup Remover, Bare Minerals Foundation, Sephora Sleeping Mask, Gingham Pouch)

 It was a Happy New Year indeed.  2015 was so so good to us, but we can’t wait for all the fun in 2016!
(Headband, Onesie-JCrew Old)

 We are finally getting some snow and some colder temps!  Our weekends have mostly consisted of laying around in our pjs, making a big pot of soup, and bottomless cups of coffee.
(Mug-TJMaxx)

 Her feet absolutely kill me.
(Onesie and Leggings-Target, Rockaroo Infant Seat)

 Eleanor is still not so sure about bathtime.  She sure loves to cuddle after though!
(Babyganics Shampoo + Body Wash, Changing Mat, Duck Bath Towel)

  We have had so many wonderful visitors over the last month.  This nursing scarf allows Eleanor and me to actually be with everyone and not holed up in a room!  For 15% off your purchase use code PLANNINGPARIS15!  I love all of their patterns!

 I was able to get out of the house this weekend and all I wanted to do was go look for clothes for baby girl!  Paying full price for baby stuff is just not really my style unless it is something I HAVE to have.  I decided to stop in Once Upon A Child and most of the items were barely touched!  Some of the items I found still had tags!  This is my new spot, I tell you!

So that’s our last month in a nutshell!  It has been such an incredible (and fast) month since our little one entered this world!  We can’t thank you enough for all of the love and support!

Hope you all have a great start to the week!
