VALENTINE’s DAY is HERE! I’m finally coming out of my coma of newborn stage now that C is mostly sleeping through the night. And I’m ready to get back to sharing all the things I love!
And can you all tell I love shopping for the girls?! Nevermind I haven’t gotten myself a new pair of pants in 2 years. Either way, I feel very on top of things this year, but it is mostly because these snow days are really testing my sanity by about noon so nap time = shopping time! Plus, is it just me or are there some seriously good deals out there right now!?!

Here’s what the girls are getting this year for the ol’ LOVE day!

Books
1. Love is a Truck also very cute paired with the book Love is a Tutu (would be seriously cute for a brother/sister gift!)
2. Besos for Baby
3. This is Not a Valentine
4. Huggy Kissy

PJS
5. Both girls are getting these!

Gifts
6. Heart Pom Pillow for Claire
7. Be Mine Pouch for E
8. Also, I got these boots with V-Day in mind, but with all the snow I think I’ll just give them to her. With coupon codes, I got them for $15. Seriously. If you have a girl, GET THEM. Great deal. **Right now they are $17.99 shipped with code FRESHSTYLE, ITSFREE, and check your email for a unique code for an additional $10 off!
9. Contemplating this necklace for E…
10. Plus red/pink candy, pouches, fruit snacks, etc…

Festive Decor
11. E is going to go to the store and pick out her own Valentine’s–I CANNOT WAIT
12. Stickers
13. How cute are these plates?!

If you need a few other ideas (especially for cute books) you can take a look back at what I got for E last year! Crazy that this is E’s 3rd Valentine’s day!

What are you all getting your littles? There’s still time for me to really have this get out of control! Send me all the ideas!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

decorating, favorites, house, ideas, memphis, Moving, thursday

1. Evelyn Henson released new city prints and you can bet your bottom dollar I snagged the Kansas City and Memphis prints! I can’t wait to add them to our gallery wall!

2. I am crazy obsessed with New Girl. I realize I’m a little late to this party (a little late being 3 years late) but it is TOO GOOD. I am two episodes away from finishing season 2. And you know what I’m going to do when I’m done? Re-watch every.single.episode.

3. You guys. Tad and I got a house. Like actually signed the contract on our first home. Our first home in MEMPHIS! It’s getting real y’all.

4. Our new house has a ginormous backyard (ya welcome, Wilson) so we’re thinking of all sorts of ideas for outdoor landscaping. Any ideas you’d like to pass on to a landscaper newbie? The backyard will include a fire pit. Fo sho.

5. Speaking of Memphis, we’ve got quite the to-do list started for the week and a half of freedom we have in Memphis between the honeymoon and residency starting! The Memphis Zoo and Beale St. are obvi on the list but what are some other things? Any Memphis lovers out there want to share the secret goods of the city?

6. We officially have TWO months until the wedding. Okay two months minus 3 days until the wedding. HOLY MOLY. I need to A) stop eating B) start training for that marathon I’ve been putting off for 27 years and C) order the dang ceremony programs.

7. Buzzfeed is amazing and this list of 90s kids things is right on par. Buzzfeed, you killed it. I’m totes a 90s kid.

8. So apparently Kristen Bell is the voice of Elsa and can sing like whoa?! This video made my day. Kristen, let’s be best friends. I’ll build a snowman with you!!

9. Since we only have a few free weekends left in Kansas City we’re going to play up the tourist card! We’ve got so many things on our KC bucket list that we must complete before the big move to Memphis. This weekend, we’re visiting the aquarium and WWI museum! I hear both are must-see attractions!

10. Next time I’m on a flight, the cast of (insert broadway Disney show) better be on it. See the awesomeness of The Lion King cast here.

Happy Thursday!

honeymoon, ideas, Wedding

YOU GUYS. It’s like less than 5 months till the wedding.

Holy goodness. Talk about excitement!!! I reallllly need to soak up these next few months as my life starting July 1st will be very busy and not as fabulous as a wedding and honeymoon (HA.). I’m super excited to finally start residency (14 years in the making, yo!) but I’ve got some serious wedding fever and don’t really want to think about 16 hour days quitttte yet.

I have almost all of the vendors booked, my dress picked out, the bridesmaids all beautified, and the gentlemen all tuxedo’d out but it’s the little details I need to plan now!

So… what are some things that really stand out at a wedding? What do you all find the most memorable? From my experience, the littlest details are some that I really remember. I’d love to know your thoughts!

Below are some fabulous ideas I’ve seen on the web recently. The stress of the wedding hasn’t hit yet but I’m sure it will at some point. In the mean time, with all of these wedding ideas sprouting up around the web, it makes me want to plan at least 5 different weddings! Ha.

Happy Wednesday!

engagement, ideas, planning, Wedding

It’s Wednesday, folks! It’s almost the weekend! I’ve been doing some serious wedding planning lately and it’s made me absolutely giddy!

I’m definitely loving this engagement time. So many people have told us to soak up this time together….it’s such a special time. And heck, you’re only engaged once! We have the rest of our lives to be married! We’ve definitely taken those words to heart. We can’t wait to be married but we are loving every bit of right now. The planning part isn’t exactly up Tad’s alley but we’re having fun with it. We are a little less than 10 months out and lots of details are coming together! The stress and crunch-time has yet to hit so I may be singing a different tune in a few months. For now, I am having one heck of a time being Tad’s fiancé and planning a fabulous wedding!

Here are some fantastic ideas I stumbled upon this week:
