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!! As a follow up to yesterday’s post, as promised, here are some of my favorites for the boys! Back when I thought Eleanor was going to be a boy, which now seems so so odd, I stocked up on boy clothing and many of those items remained in her wardrobe which I kind of love. I really love boy clothing and there are some amazing pieces out for spring/summer this year!
1. How stinking cute are these sunglasses!? AND they are only $5.
2. I just about keeled over when I saw this hat. And again, a steal at $8.
3. For those chilly mornings and evenings, this light sweatshirt and jacket are perfect.
4. Leggings like these or these are great for transition or evenings and then SHORTS! I like that these can be dressed down with a tee or tank or up with a linen shirt!
5. Like I mentioned in the girl post, rainboots are toddler gold–E can almost get hers on by herself! I love these!
6. These striped shoes I actually bought before I had E and she wore them because I just love them. So, so much.
7. I thought my love for Natives went deep and then I saw that this pair GLOWS IN THE DARK!! They actually have several colors that do!! How perfect for the spring and summer evenings!?!
8. And don’t forget about my post on Swimwear for the Littles!
Happy shopping and a very happy Thursday!

Spring has sprung, people! Here in Ohio, the temps have stayed at a fairly steady 60-70 degrees and the little person in our house is loving it. I think there would be riots if there was even a hint of snow in the forecast. With all the baby prep, spring kind of snuck up on me this year. E loves to get outside and all of sudden I found that her plentiful wardrobe really didn’t contain many warmer temperature pieces. I think we’ve finally reached the point in her life/growth that we have to actually shop every season. Before, she just had tons of stuff that were a wide range fit (think 6-12 months) that we got at showers, hand me downs, or that I bought when I saw a good deal, etc…and I just mixed and matched to fit the season. Now, she is growing like a weed and is now a healthy 2T. Plus, last year she didn’t really play much outside so I could get away with less summer specific items. She has a lot of sweatshirts and sneakers that fit, but she was lacking in sandals that fit, spring dresses, and short sleeves. Leggings will make a great transition piece, but soon it will be all shorts all day!
There are so many great pieces out there for girls right now (and don’t worry boy mamas–I have a post coming next on toddler boys!) so let’s get to it!
1. Eleanor has these sunglasses in blue and they are by far my favorite thing ever. She doesn’t keep them on long, but I think she’ll grow to love them like her bows which she now tries to put on herself. 🙂
2. These bows are seriously darling. I also love her June and January knotted headbands.
3. It’s still pretty chilly in the mornings and in the evenings so a jacket is a must. This one would also double nicely as a rain jacket!
5. This dress would be perfect with a cardigan and can be worn well into the summer. I’m thinking this would be a perfect dress for Memorial Day and/or Fourth of July! And at $13?! It’s a steal.
6. Love these linen shorts and these striped shorts, I actually kinda want them to come in my size?
7. E has these Native shoes in multiple colors and sizes. They are the same texture as Crocs, but closed in which I think is great for this age!
8. Just ordered these rainboots in the next size E will need so they are ready to go when she outgrows her yellow Hunter boots! Rainboots are solid gold in toddler world.
9. I mentioned these sandals in last week’s favorite’s post and I cannot wait to get them!! Gah, baby toes!!
10. A couple of weeks ago I also posted a roundup of Swimwear for the Littles!
Happy shopping and wahoo for warmer temps!!
Happy Wednesday!
