It’s a nice day for a white wedding

I totally love dressing little kids up. So much so, that I often buy my nieces and nephews a new outfit for no reason. Children’s clothes are just so tiny and sparkly and fun. Natasha has not yet picked out her flower girl dress, so setting out with a budget of $50 and a color scheme of white, pink, and champagne (or fawn, if you will) here is what I found.
I actually think this cappuccino baby doll dress would be just perfect. The bridesmaid dresses have a sheen to them, so this might work really well. However, I always do worry a bit that the colors will be just slightly off to the point where it becomes annoying to onlookers. A poufy dress makes wee ones feel like a princess, and is always oh so adorable (especially with the high waist!). All she would need is a tiny tiara.

I love that at Flower Girl Dress for Less, you can build your own dress too! I am a sucker for this ivory dress (it’s just SO sweet), but it’s sold out! Have the perfect flower girl dress, but wanting your flower girl to fit in more with your overall color scheme? Try getting a sash in your wedding colors. How much more fawn like could this sash be?

My go-to store? This Ebay gem. Their dresses start out at $15! Yes, one-five. They have a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors and they make my wallet smile. Want to see a specific dress posted here? Just click on one of the pictures below.

The Velveteen Rabbit

We’re at week 32! Only 8 more weeks to go. Yesterday we had our final baby shower and it was just adorable. My in-laws threw us a Velveteen Rabbit themed shower. Take a look at these pictures my sister-in-law took of all the sweet decorations. Isn’t it just adorable? I was so sad to tear down the diaper cake, but that wreath is going to go on his nursery door I’m sure. Eli is so lucky to have a crafty grandmother. Not only did she decorate the shower, but she also made him a ton of personalized burp cloths, onesies, pants, blankets, and bibs. Aren’t they soooo cute? I’m thinking about changing his going home outfit to be his little lion onesie she made him with his name embroidered on it. We’ll have to see! Oh and that bear backpack! Isn’t it precious? I can’t wait to pack it up for him to go out to his Mimi’s. He’ll just love it. Now for his week 32 check in… Weight Gain: 29 lbs in 32 weeks. Crazy! I did gain 5 of those lbs wh

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy

I’m so depressed! The Halloween party we were planning was cancelled (yea-that means we cancelled it). I LOVE love love Halloween, but I’m okay with a low-key night since many of our friends are going to be out of town the weekend we had planned to throw the party. Last year Josh and I spent time handing out candy to neighbor kids and watching the shining. Of course I decorated like crazy, but this year I think I’ll probably keep the decorating outdoors and use the food to celebrate the occasion. Here’s what I had planned food-wise for the Halloween Party. For (eh-hem, real food) snacks. Trick or Treat Turnovers Pizza Mummies For crunching and munching on Scarecrow Crunch For dessert Candy Corn Rice Krispies Monster Mash Pudding Pretzel and Brownie Skeletons I’ll probably let Josh pick out what I make for the occasion since all of it looks SO good

Ready Set, Have You Met...

In the event you don't know, the end of that lyric is "Robocar Poli" which has been playing often in this house lately. Anias and Eli both love it, and with the spiders, ticks, rain, and overall grouchiness of a sleep deprived almost 2 year old I'm just going to roll with it. Josh and I have been busy trying to fix up the house, but unlike those before and after seemingly instant photos it's taking over a month to just finish what we've already started, but we're getting closer! We're taking a long weekend together without the kids this week up in Chicago and I'm excited! It will be nice to explore a new place and see one of my favorite all-time bands: Beach House. Anias: 23 Months I say new words like ...Poli (requesting the show Robocar Poli), mowing, kick it, mint, bike, night night, eat it, cereal, battery, sheep, chick, here you go Mama My favorite food is ...macaroni, but I also like hamburgers and won't hardly have a m
