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!
Erin

Eleanor is getting more and more curious about the world around her. It is so fun to watch!

Our little Valentine needed a little spoiling this holiday! We gave her this book, these leggings, this giraffe, and a lovely tee from Jean and June!

I hope hope hope her eyes stay this blue. Alas, genetics will probably turn them green/brown. Also: this was her third Valentine’s day outfit due to a series of lovely blowouts.

You guys. I printed pictures. Like, actually, physically printed them. 500 of them. My mom was the best about taking and printing pictures when we were kids and it is so so fun looking through all of them. I resolve to be better!

Reading to E is just about my favorite thing to do. Books with lots of colors and almost no words are her favorite. We love this book!

Today was E’s two month appointment. I was absolutely dreading it. Not only does it mean she is getting big, but it was the SHOTS appointment. I brought all of her favorite things and I skipped the mascara!

Turns out the appointment was harder for me. She let out a little cry, but they are fast and before we knew it, it was over. Now let the extra cuddles commence!

Next week she officially turns two months! Back to the dreaded yellow chair we go! She will definitely thank me one day. I am sure of it.

Have a great weekend, friends!

2. XOXO Brownies.

3. Caramel Brownies.

brunch, family, friends, Life, valentine's day

Hello, dear readers! I hope you’re all recovering well from a snazzy Valentine’s day and a relaxing (and/or crazy fun) weekend!

We laid MAJORLY low on V-day evening to catch up on season 2 of House of Cards. Ummm… holy crap??! Can we please talk about this show?! My boys kept me company on the couch while I did some serious stressing about it.

On Saturday morning I had a girls brunch with some fabulous friends of mine from school. A morning brunch turned into four and a half hours… we blame it on the bottomless mimosas! Catching up with girlfriends is so therapeutic.

Tad, mom, and I met with the wedding cake group on Sunday… I was positively giddy when I left! I can’t wait for the big day! I try to wear my sparkly shoes to all of the wedding activities/meetings. They just always seem to match my wedding mood!
