I hope everyone had a great week, and is ready for a new one to start! I can’t believe we are already halfway through October… time needs to slow down! Our weekend was busy, and full of firsts for Huxley. If you missed it on Instagram, we took him to his first Clemson tailgate and football game. We were in bed by 8 last night because we were so exhausted, but we had a blast! I was so impressed with how well the little guy did. He surprisingly LOVED being inside the stadium (with noise-cancelling headphones), but we had to cut the time there short when we realized he had a huge blowout. HA, talk about good timing! Always works that way, doesn’t it?
I read a post about something that a friend shared on Instagram, and it has resonated with me so deeply. A mom shared how she noticed that, since having a baby, people around her were so much happier. Not just family, but complete strangers too. She also pointed out that her baby didn’t have a preference in people – he would smile at anyone without judgement. Having a baby changes your life in so many different ways, but wow. Seeing the way Huxley brightens people’s days seriously brought tears to my eyes. When we are out in public, I will catch strangers in the distance making silly faces at him. Random people will come up to us to spark up a conversation. I don’t know, with all this negativity our world seems to have right now, those types of actions just really give me some hope.
Now on to the weekly recap!
This Week’s Best Sellers
Nursery Rug – This is the item in our nursery that I receive the most questions about. It is perfect for a neutral room, is affordable, and comes in a ton of different sizes! We have a 7×9 for Huxley’s nursery.
Hydro Flask Water Bottle – Coming from a household that owns 5 of these, I can’t say enough good things about this bottle. It keeps water cold FOREVER, and comes in a bunch of colors.
Wooden Play Gym – Not only is this gym great for baby development and entertainment, but it is adorable! H plays with his everyday.
Mahogany Teakwood Candle – This hung in there for another week! Read the in depth review here!
Thin Gold Necklace – Another one that made it to the top for 2 weeks. A minimal gold filled necklace (aka tarnish resistant!).
Magnetic Eyelashes – I never thought these would actually work, but I have been loving them!! For those of you who purchased them, keep me updated on how you like them!
