This month I partnered up with Lorena Canals Rugs to finish up E’s Big Girl Room! We are so excited about the final result! It is just perfect for our sweet girl!

One night, about three weeks ago, we asked E if she wanted to sleep in her big girl room and she just went in, crawled into her bed and we haven’t really looked back since. She has been sleeping a solid 12 hours a night and it is 100% because of her Dockatot. It cradles her in (and all 47 of her binks) without her feeling trapped I think. Read more on her sleep transition here!

My sister is just the best. She knows when I post a gift guide, It is really just a wish list. This mug and coconut body polish are my new favorite things!

We went out to dinner at Kona Grill to celebrate being full term! Head over to see the full post and there’s still time to get a free appetizer here!

We are loving the warm weather! I mean, who doesn’t love a good pair of jellies?!
Also: E’s sunglasses (similar) and shorts

For mother’s day we headed out to Old Hilliard to check out their new splash pad and grab some dinner! Be sure to check out the post-there’s still time to get entered to win a gift card to Local Cantina!
E’s outfit: shirt ($3.82!), shorts, shoes, necklace (similar)

It’s getting warmer and E loves to be outside! It’s always a huge struggle to get her back inside. Also, it looks like they restocked E’s swimsuit! For $10 it is perfect for summer!

We packed up the hospital bag and are on the official countdown!

Gah, how is she already 17 months?? Time is moving way too fast!!

And just like that, it is time for baby sister to be here! We are scheduled to meet her next Wednesday if she doesn’t arrive sooner! So this will probably be my last post until baby arrives! Be sure to follow along on Instagram for updates! EEEEKK!!

I hope you all have a great long weekend with your families!!
Happy Friday!

Good 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
