IMG_7232IMG_7191IMG_7243IMG_7215IMG_7208IMG_7228IMG_7824Good morning!! I have seriously been dying to share this post with you all!  Essentially, I have been planning E’s room since she was born.  Since we didn’t find out the gender until she was born, we kept her room neutral, but it turned out kinda boyish because we were 99% sure she was going to be a boy.  We decided almost immediately that we would just keep the nursery as is and begin planning her big girl room.  Once we found out about baby #2, the plans officially began!  E now knows this is her room and has been sleeping all night in her big girl bed for the last week!  The transition I wrote about here is officially complete thanks to Dockatot!

But without further ado…here are the pieces that we’ve been collecting for E’s room!

Bed Area
Adjustable Toddler Bed
Dockatot Deluxe
Pom Pom Comforter Set
Be Awesome Today Pillow
Flamingo
Large Ballerina Doll
Pom Pom Pouf (old)

Shelves (handmade by Matt!)
Books: Once Upon an Alphabet, Flora and the Flamingo, Ellie, The Tiny Seed, The Day the Crayons Quit, Paris Up, Up and Away, Stuck, Waddle!, Gallop!
Pineapple Print (she may restock?)
Pom Pom Bin
Instax Mini Camera
Phoebe the Fawn Doll
Yellow Hunter Boots

Play Area/Tent
Metallic Stripe Tent
Woolen Pom Pillow
Gray Stripe baskets I found at Michaels!

Dresser Area (my dad actually made this dresser for me when I was a little girl!)
Pictures in the gallery wall are either gifts from showers or baptisms and then I cut out prints from old Rifle Paper Co. Calendars!

Clothing Area
Rolling Cart
Pink Stripe Hamper
Sound Machine
Nursery Heater

But, YOU GUYS, the real star of this room is this rug from Lorena Canals!  It really pulls the whole room together and makes it look like a room for a little kid!  And it is literally the softest rug I have ever felt, machine-washable, and all natural!  There are so many options on the website that will fit perfectly into any room really, but especially nurseries and kids rooms!
PLUS, now through May 17th all rugs are 15% off!!

With just three weeks left, it feels really good to get E’s room checked off the list!  If you see something that I haven’t linked just let me know in the comments and I will do my best to get you to the right place!

I hope you are all having a great week!
Erin

It was so nice for the first few weeks of April! Sunshine was just what we needed.

And then the Easter bunny came crashing down on E’s whole world.  For real, I love that the mall we had this taken at took the time to edit and frame this keeper.

If you caught my Insta Story, egg dyeing went a lot different in my head than it did in actuality.  She thought they were golf balls so she chucked them as soon as she could get her hands on them.  Then she just dipped her fingers in all the dye.

I posted a roundup of my favorite spring styles for the toddler girl and boy!  So much cuteness out there!!
IMG_6258
Gah.  This girl.  How cute are these sunnies with that smile??
IMG_6311
I seriously couldn’t wait for E to get her Easter basket–so much fun!!
IMG_6332
The egg hunt was also a total success!  This dress was so perfect for Easter!

I shared an update on E’s swim lessons here!

We spent an awesome day as a family in Grandview…I posted all about it here!  And there’s still time to get yourself entered to win a $25 gift card! Hurry, it ends Sunday!

Got some extra time with family last week as we said goodbye to my sweet Grandma…

My sister threw us the sweetest sprinkle for baby girl last weekend with our families.  Baby girl is already so loved!
I am dying over these sandals and this book!

I am officially 36 weeks today and am getting QUITE anxious for baby to get here!  Other than the final touches–the major thing we wanted ready to go was baby girl’s room and E’s big girl room and it is officially done!!  I will be sharing pics next week!!!

I hope you all have an amazing weekend!
Erin

Ps. If you still need ideas for that special mama in your life, I posted a gift guide here!  Just a little over a week left!

The weather has finally been nice enough to get out and play a bit.   We definitely have an outdoor girl on our hands.  She will just start bringing you items one by one to put on her and yourself…coats, hats, etc…and then will grunt and point outside.  I really need the nice weather to stay because my toddler does not understand fickle Ohio weather.

I posted about E’s Transition to her new room and one adjustment we’ve made is having her sleep with her Grand Dockatot in her crib first before we switch her over to using it in her bed.  She’s been sleeping so well ever since…no more waking up at night (knock on wood!!!!).  Be sure to check out the whole post for links to items and to see what else we’re doing to make the transition a bit easier!
IMG_4459
I also posted about E’s eating and we celebrated St. Patrick’s day in style!

I posted all about what’s going in the girls’ Easter baskets–I cannot wait!!!

Little miss diva’s uncle Paul came to town so we headed down to the Brewery District and had a fancy lunch at Rockmill Tavern!

I finally got my hair done over spring break and when I went to pick up E at the sitter she didn’t recognize me.  Yowza, gotta do maintenance more often.

I wrote a post about trying out this stroller that will eventually become our double stroller!

E’s first trip to the zoo of the season!  She was very unsure of the large animals like the gorilla, but LOVED the animals that she sees on Barney and in her barn books.  She waved at them and everything.  Pretty much the cutest thing ever.  I cannot wait to take the girls this summer!
IMG_5329
Seriously, can it please stay warm out all year long?!
IMG_5447
It’s been a mix of sun and rain here in Ohio which I kind of love!  So fun to be outside right before the storms roll in!

E graduated to Mini 2 at Goldfish!!  I posted an update this month here!

Last weekend we got takeout from Milestone 229 and headed down to the river with some friends to have a picnic and walk around!  It is seriously so gorgeous down there!

I am almost 32 weeks and starting to get to that really uncomfortably large stage so picking up E has become quite the task…especially when she just wants to run after ducks and trash.

Time seems to be flying now that we are in the home stretch…June 2 will be here before we know it–we’re ready to meet you baby girl!

What have you all been up to?  Hopefully out there enjoying the sunshine when you can get it!!
Hope you are having a fabulous week!!
Erin

Fall Transition Pinspiration!

Good morning!  If you’ve been following me over on Pinterest lately, you have probably deduced that all I seem to have on the brain lately is how to dress, sweets, and babies.  I am finding that the fall transition has been a little tricky because I haven’t quite splurged on jeans yet.  Next on my list!  But, I have found that those flowy tops that were awkward at the beginning fit quite nicely now that I look pregnant in pretty much everything.  Here are some cute outfit ideas I am thinking for the upcoming weeks!

  1. This simple, but stylish outfit is a must once I get those darn jeans.  Love the red polish with the skinny jeans and simple black flats.
  2. I am all about layers.  Right now in Columbus, it can go from 85 to 70 very quickly and as if that isn’t tricky enough, the air conditioning in our school gets very confused by the weather changes.  It is freezing in my classroom one second and then sweltering the next.  Layers are a must.  This layered dress and military style jacket is perfection.
  3. This is also a dreamy dress/sweater layering option.
  4. It wouldn’t be a fall round-up if there weren’t stripes.  I am loving this striped option.  Looks so cozy!

I am so incredibly excited for fall, can you tell?!  Hope this gave you a little inspiration!  What are you loving for the upcoming season?

Also, don’t forget to get yourself entered in our blogiversary giveaway!  Ends Sunday!
Have a great day!
Erin

Good morning!  Although our school has been back to the grind for almost three weeks now, many kiddos are packing off to school for their first day this morning.  Whether you are a student, teacher, or just love a good excuse to purchase new supplies and redecorate, this time of year is full of office and school inspiration.  I love Pinterest so much.  I use it for inspiration for so many things.  Today, I wanted to share a few images that have left me inspired for the new school year!

  1. 10 Inspiring Home Offices via Harper’s Bazaar.  Each image is prettier than the last.

2. Back to School Gift Jar via Oh Happy Day.  Imagine a teacher’s delight at seeing this beauty come across their desk.  Or really anyone for that matter!

3. DIY Folder Organizer via Sugar and Cloth.  Ok, I cheated on this one–I actually spotted this one on my other source for inspiration, Instagram.  Find out how to make this amazing organizer from a $6 dish organizer here.  Talk about magic!

4. Good Advice Wall via My Attic.  It is my goal this year to fill my classroom and my house with inspiring messages.  Sometimes a quick reminder is all you need to stay inspired!

What has you all inspired this year?  For all those headed back to school or those in need of a little back to school inspiration–I will be sending lots of positive vibes your way today!
