Good morning all! HAPPY FRIDAY!!! Eeek! It’s been a great week, but this mama could use a little r&r. For sure. Here are my little nuggets of joy that have left me smiling all week!

1. Not only is this candle visually appealing, it is lavender scented. Bring on the relaxation!

2. Dior Addict Lip Glow in Sheer Pink Coral. This looks divine.

3. I am a little worried about my next appointment on Monday. They may tell me to slow my roll a little. Sweets are my new thing. Dying to give this chocolate mousse a try.

4. This clipboard is perfect and a pretty reasonable price! Might have to meander over to Papersource very soon!

5. These pens I’m telling you, have magical powers. They have the ability to brighten any day.

6. Chloe Scallop Flats. Ok, so the only way to afford these beauties is to buy them used. And, of course, they are sold out. I am on the hunt for something similar. May just do a shoe post next week.

7. This sweatshirt cracks me up. Onesies, sweaters, and shirts with sayings seem to be the only gender neutral clothing I am finding these days. And I don’t hate it.

8. I am pretty much obsessed with June and January right now. Not real friendly in the gender neutral department, BUT they just launched their new blankets and I am dying. They look so soft and they are darling to boot!

9. I swear I can make these gender neutral. I bought a similar pair about two years ago, WAY before we were ever expecting because I cannot resist a striped shoe. I absolutely cannot wait to dress this baby!

Well, that’s it for me! Hope you all had a great week and found some things that made you smile! Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Friday!! I kinda, a teensy bit, forgot how happy Fridays make me. For a little bit there, I was becoming blissfully unaware of what day it was. With school back in full force, I am FULLY aware of what day it is and man am I glad it’s Friday! Here’s what’s keeping me sane this week!

This shirt describes my week perfectly. I love what I do, but by the end of the day I feel like I have been hit by a train.

2. How darling are these paperweights? Give me all the office supplies.

3. This refreshing mist seems like something I should have in my desk.

4. I have so many reasons to celebrate lately, so confetti is a must.

5. Ever since Ashley over at One Fine Day posted about Noble Carriage, I’ve been obsessed. I have to have This Frog. Why oh why is it sold out?!

6. Gotta have this sweater. I might be bias, but I’m pretty sure this kid is already kinda the best.

7. YOU GUYS! We felt our first kick! I’m supposed to be writing this stuff down right?! I think this baby book will do just fine!

Hope you all had a marvelous week and have an even better weekend!

Good morning, friends! Happy Friday!! I am soaking up every single last second of this glorious Friday as it is my last day before heading back to work for the new school year. How in the world is it already time to go back?! As I mentioned on Instagram, this time of year is always bittersweet. I love how crisp a new year feels–from new clothes and supplies to the promise of a new start, but it also comes with having to say goodbye to the little reprieve that teachers and students feel with the summer months. When I begin to whine that my freedom is gone, my sweet husband reminds me that teachers are the only people on the planet that enjoy this break. Le sigh. Back to the grind! Here is my little round-up to get me excited for this new year!

1. I don’t know if I am just being lazy or if my hair is doing all new things with my current preggo state, but this summer I have not had to wash my hair–like ever. By day five or six things get a little weird, but that’s what adorable headbands are for…right? And for only $6, I’d say this is a steal and a must have for this fall!

2. Ok, so JCrew is having a mega sale. Right now with code SUMMERSALE, you can get 40% off regular merchandise and sale items and an additional 75% off some clearance. There are a ton of basics that I am eyeing like this top. I was able to find some tanks that are super cute in the clearance section for as little as 3 or 4 dollars! Score!

3. I am almost embarrassed by how little sun I was able to soak up this summer. With the exception of a few glorious days on the boat in Madison, I was mostly inside. Might need to get a little faux tan going with this bronze complexion highlighter.

4. I get a little too giddy when I start thinking about fall. Essie Smokin’ Hot is going to be my fall nail color. Swoon.

5. I absolutely cannot wait to go back to school shopping for this baby one day. They better like it as much as I do…it’s genetic right? I’m just going to go ahead and say yes and buy this sweatshirt.

6. I went ahead and purchased this planner because A. It is currently 20% off and B. I am making so many lists of things to do these days…I simply need a larger planner than the one I am currently using. Quick question I wanted to throw out there to all you mamas: I am a huge fan of stockpiling (kinda, a little, obsessed with couponing) and want to know things you recommend buying before baby. I have heard you should prepare lots of meals for the freezer, load up on your normal hygiene products, but what else?! Any and all thoughts welcome!

7. Like I said, I cannot wait to buy baby school supplies. This book. Come on!

8. I get Staples text offers because I am a couponaholic and when you pair $ off offers with 15 cent deals AND manufacturer coupons, you can score a pretty sweet deal. Imagine my surprise when they texted me an offer for a FREE 12 pack of Poppin Pens. WHAT?! I literally ran there and snagged up one of the only colors I did not already have. So excited to add purple to my hoard!

9. I NEED these shoes for the new school year. Right?

Hope you all have an amazing weekend!!

Good morning! Hope you all had a great weekend! We had an absolute blast with family this weekend up in Madison. There will definitely be a recap coming later this week! Today, I wanted to share some goodies I have been eyeing and while I would like to say not every goody round-up post I share will include baby stuff–I cannot resist. Buying baby items not only makes it feel real, everything is also so yummy. So small, so soft, so darling! I have been buying a few things here and there if I find a good deal–trying not to go too overboard! Here’s what I am loving this week!

1. I want all the baby bear stuff. As you can tell from our announcement post, we love da baby bear theme. I say we keep it going with this darling pennant.

2. I haven’t had any cravings per se, but I have upped my ice cream intake slightly. This local favorite has me drooling.

3. Turtle Tray. Swoon.

4. The cutest teether you ever did see.

5. These darling jeans are out of stock–so bummed! Is there anything cuter than skinny jeans on a baby?

6. Brimful has an assortment of simple, but cute baby items. These rattles are no exception!

7. Love the look of this stool. This is a super expensive option and a little out of our decorative budget. Darn! On the hunt for something similar!

8. I saw these sandals in store the other day and I about fell over. They were so tiny and I could just see our little munchkin’s feet running/crawling around in them next summer!

What about you all? What are you loving this week?

Hope you all have a wonderful Monday!

Good morning! I quickly wanted to share with you the latest goodies that I received in my second Rocksbox! They arrived just in time for Nashville and the entire box could not have been more perfect! This time I requested certain brands that I like and since the box is curated to your liking, my stylist picked out this gorgeous Loren Hope necklace. I absolutely love it and definitely might be purchasing this month!
