It is currently gloomy outside and only 65 degrees. I know in a couple months I’ll be begging for the sun to come back, but right now I’m absolutely loving this weather. A chilly Sunday spent watching football in the man cave: it officially feels like fall!
This week was pretty good for us! Huxley is rapidly changing every single day, and my phone storage is definitely feeling it. I always knew I wanted to be a mom, but I had no idea just how much happiness it would bring me. A good friend (also a new ma) and I were discussing how sometimes these new lives with our babes just seem temporary. They just seem too good to be true. On another note, I’m finally starting to actually SEE some changes in my body, which makes all this hard work feel like it is paying off. It gives me so much more motivation to keep going strong!
Maybe I’ll go into more detail one day, but I can’t tell you guys how much this little venture into blogging means to me. I started on a whim a little over two years ago because I desperately needed a creative outlet. Believe it or not, if you read any of my “What I Want to be When I Grow Up” stories from elementary school, they will all say a teacher and a writer. Something about being able to gets some thoughts down in writing just eases my mind. While I have just been posting here and there, I finally decided to jump in feet first. All of your support (comments, messages, views, feedback) means the world to me. So thank you.
This Week’s Bestsellers
- Maternity Robe – I brought two of these robes to the hospital, and still wear them regularly! The material is so soft and comfy.
- Mahogany Teakwood Candle – I’m so excited that so many of you are trying out this candle!! I’m telling ya, once you try it there is no going back.
- Gold Initial Necklace – This was a little push gift I bought for myself (I got an H of course). I am the worst at losing jewelry, so I need items that I don’t have to take off. This is gold filled so it is tarnish resistant, doesn’t flake or rub off, and doesn’t turn your skin green.
- Thin Gold Necklace – This is from the same maker of the initial necklace! I wear both of them layered each day.
- WubbaNub – Currently 20% off! Hux is OBSESSED with his WubbaNubs. Now that he can grab things, he loves holding the little animal while he sucks on his paci. We like the little lamb the best.. for obvious reasons, ha!
- Burp Cloths– We love these gender neutral burp cloths. Best part – they’re from amazon! Not only are they adorable, but they work great with spit up too.
- Hello Fall Sign – My fall decor inspo is neutrals with pops of orange. This sign is perfect for my pop of color, and I love that it is a burnt orange rather than a super bright one.
