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!

Happy (late) one month, sweet angel!  SO this is two weeks late, and we forgot to get the monthly sticker things, AND obviously she hates this chair.  BUT, this photo montage does not accurately portray this little girl’s spirit for life.  She is the HAPPIEST baby!  Sure she gets fussy from time to time, but overall, she is happy happy happy.  She smiles now, loves bathtime, loves the Baby Einstein radio station, loves when daddy walks her around the house to look at things, and loves to eat and sleep!

We love you, Eleanor!

Hope you are all having an excellent weekend!

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.

 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!

Good morning and a very happy Saturday to you all! It has been a whirlwind the last couple of weeks with the baby shower, my mom and sister visiting, wrapping up my final project for my master’s, tying things up at work, and last, but not least, prepping for BABY! We are 38 weeks today and we have moments where we sit back and say we are totally ready and then have moments (like when we realize that we haven’t installed the car seat) that we begin to panic. I find myself crying for no reason lately. I get really happy, then really sad about something I would never normally get sad about (I cried the other night because our new favorite show, Fargo, wasn’t ending fast enough and I wanted to go to bed).

SO–for this year’s Christmas gift guide…I am not going to pretend I know what grown up people want. I gathered up what’s on my wishlist this year which to be honest consists mostly of adult beverages and things I think will help make me feel like a human once baby arrives! SO here it goes!

  1. My all-time favorite Lip Balm.
  2. Kate Spade La Pavillion Set. We haven’t really gotten new towels or oven mitts since the wedding–we are overdue and these are darling!
  3. I saw this candy concoction at Nordstrom the other day and I just thought they were so cute! So fun for a holiday party!
  4. Wine plus cute packaging? Yes!
  5. Sayings on wine glasses are the best reminders!
  6. I try to stock up on my makeup essentials at Christmas like my Bare Minerals Foundation.
  7. …and NARS Blush.
  8. This ornament is just darling and until tomorrow everything at Papersource is 20% of with code FALALA!
  9. I have vowed to be better at getting pictures printed and I think it would help if I had some cute albums like this one!
  10. I have had my eye on this tote for years and with a momentous Christmas ahead, graduating with my master’s on the same day I am due, and 30 creeping up in early January, I think this needs to be the year for a very grown up bag!
  11. This book will just make me think I actually have a plan for keeping my house functional and cute post baby.
  12. Yes, to all things Essie.

So, what’s on your list?? Hope you are all making headway on your Christmas shopping list!

Have a great weekend,
Erin

Good morning!!  And happy almost Halloween!  I pretty much celebrate this holiday all month long by binge eating candy and watching Hocus Pocus on repeat.  This weekend  I am flying solo as Matt has jetted off to our dear friends’ wedding in Florida.  I am incredibly sad to be missing it, but with this baby on the horizon in less than 7 weeks, flying just wasn’t an option for me.  SO to cheer myself up, I have planned a mega girly, treat yo’ self, relaxing weekend.  Here’s what’s on the agenda starting at 3:30 today.

  1. Cozying up with pillows and lots o’ blankets is a top priority.  It is absolutely freezing in our house and Matt is a real stickler about that thermostat.  I’m sure he has an app that would alert him if I even walked passed it.
  2. Baking!  Tonight I am thinking pumpkin bread and tomorrow morning these pumpkin spice waffles.
  3. When Matt is not around I actually get to brew my decaf coffee and indulge in perhaps more than my one daily cup.  If I could, I would drink coffee all day long.  Mostly because I have a thing for coffee mugs.
  4. You guys.  How stunning is this chair?  I definitely have some lounging on the agenda this weekend and I certainly wouldn’t mind doing it in this beaut.
  5. I was wearing Essie Smokin’ Hot well before it was seasonally appropriate.  What can I say?  I’m obsessed.
  6. Cute matches and candles.
  7. I was down another three pounds at this week’s appointment.  Soooooooo I’m thinking I can indulge more than normal this weekend?  I want these pretzels!
  8. Cozy slippers are the first thing happening when I get home.  I cannot wait.

I also have high hopes of getting out to do a little shopping this weekend, but I am having a whole lotta trouble with my hips.  I am almost done Christmas shopping and I am determined to finish in the next week or so!  May have to resort to staying cuddled up and having it shipped.  But there’s just something about hitting’ the shops for the holidays!

So what about you all?  What do you have up your sleeves for the big holiday weekend?  Hope you have a marvelous weekend!
