Nursery Sneak Peak

Baby boy's nursery is taking me a bit longer to complete than his big sisters did. By this time in my pregnancy with her, every detail was in it's place and drawers were organized. However, I am sure he will forgive me for not being ready 2 months early :)

I have, however, picked up his wall decor and some odds and ends. Hopefully this weekend or next, I can figure out hanging locations and get everything hung! This is what we have so far. By the way...without naming names....notice the "W" I picked up? ;-)

PinkBlush Maternity Review & Giveaway

32 weeks pregnant. I repeat, 32 weeks pregnant. If you have ever been here, you know that day and night you feel....enormous. It was almost time for my "Sprinkle" (baby #2 in the oven!) and I hadn't even thought about what I was going to wear. Why? Because I have nightmares about clothes. Sometimes I feel cute walking out the door, and then catch a glimpse of myself in a storefront window and I'm reminded that I look like I'm smuggling a beach ball. But joking aside, I do love how the female body looks while carrying a child. I had so much fun "dressing my bump" last pregnancy. I have to admit I've been doing less of it this time around. Which is why I was so happy that PinkBlush Maternity asked me to work with them in reviewing their site and products.

When you are on their site, you will find TONS, and I mean TONS, of adorable maternity clothes. The selection of maternity clothes in every store I go in is always less impressive than I could hope for...but not on PinkBlushMaternity.com. If you follow them on Facebook you can keep up with all of the sales they have. Recently, I have seen great sales like 70% off Flash Sales and 25% off the Entire Site! I knew I wanted something comfortable and was hoping it would help me narrow it down, but it there were so many options. I ended up picking their Mint Green Floral Chiffon Maternity Dress. The dress is regularly $73 but can be found on sale right now for just $56 (see what I mean about the great sales?)

The dress came fast and I was impressed with their customer service. When I opened it I knew right away it was a well made dress. I was excited to try it on! (I made sure I had my hair and make up fixed first...that's always best!)

I felt great in the dress and I had a lot of fun taking pictures for this post. It was really great to feel confident even this late in my pregnancy. I paired the dress with simple earrings and natural colored wedges. I am sure it would look good dressed up or down as well.

Books, books and more books!

My family comes from a long line of book readers. My mom was always taking me to the library as a child and books were a very big part of our daily routine. Ever since becoming a Mother myself, I have noticed that I have already incorporated books into my daughter's daily routine as well. We have quite time at least once a day where she opens a large drawer of book and we read as many as she wants, plus, there is always a story or two before bed. On nice days, we walk to our local library and fill up a big bag of books she picked out and take them home.

If you love to grow your children's book collection like us, you know how expensive it can become. Which is why yard sales are usually my go to when it comes to picking up new books to purchase. Recently, I heard that our local library has a Used Book Sale once or twice a year. It is a 3 day sale, and on days 1 and 2, children's books are only $0.50 each!

Today I had a chance to run in and pick some up to split between my house and Aubrey's Mimi's house. I picked up 36 Board Books for a grand total of $15.00! They threw in the few extra for free because some were small and I had bought so many.

Yes, all of those for $15.00!

If you are from my area (Bel Air, MD) it is the Bel Air Public Library that is having the sale right now!
You can find more info on the event HERE.

If you are not from Maryland, call your local public library and ask them if they host sales similar to this one!

It's A......Gender Reveal!

Baby number two is getting bigger and bigger. We are so anxious to welcome our new addition and to see Aubrey become a big sister. Only three more months until we will be a family of 4. Take a look at my bump update from 24 weeks!

We are pleased to announce...

That....

Names are still up in the air for now, but the nursery is underway! Keep following for nursery pictures and details to come!

Color My Bath Review

I purchased these color tablets for Aubrey for Christmas. My daughter typically loves bath time so there were lots of bath toys on Santa's list this year.

These things are so fun. We typically start running the water and then I start asking her about her colors. She knows her colors so well and I really think it's because we use these almost every night. We talk about what colors there are and what color she wants to make her bath. I always put the tablets in the bath for her to avoid any issue with her putting them in her mouth. They only take a minute to dissolve and the colors are beautiful!

The package includes 100 Large and 200 Small Tablets and they come in Red, Yellow, & Blue. I find that the red really looks more like pink (unless you add a bunch of the same color I suppose.) But this works out because she loves pink!  We mix different colors and sizes of tablets to make new colors, but most of the time I just use one large tablet and it's plenty of color for the bath.

The tablets are available on Amazon HERE for $12.99

Announcement Time!

Aubrey is pleased to announce...

That she has big news....

Our family is growing by one this June! Aubrey is too excited to be a big sister. She has taken a strong liking to taking care of her baby dolls in preparation of the new baby coming. However, I hope that she doesn't think that she will be getting away with putting the real baby in the oven of her kitchen set like she does with her doll...I may have to work on her with that one before the baby comes!

It's time to rev things back up again!

It's time to rev things back up again! Our sweet girl Aubrey is now 20 months old and has gone from baby to toddler in the blink of an eye. Catch up with my family and how things have changed in the pictures below.

I will be following this post with an exciting announcement, so be sure to check back!
