what did EB bring Holden?

I have to say, the Easter Bunny [or EB for those of you who have seen HOP] was pretty good to Holden this year. Thank goodness we got the large basket from Pottery Barn or else I don't think everything would have fit!

-a fluffy stuffed animal [find it here]
-baby's first iPhone! He truly is his father's son. [find it here]
-Disney's greatest hits CD from Target. This one may have been more for me than him. 
-a sensory blanket - which didn't come in time but what can ya do! [find it here]
-my his favorite candies
-his own set of car keys by B.You [look here but buy at Target]
-a little Wheeeeeelie by B.You [look here but buy at Target]
-GiGi got holden & his cousins the Limited Edition Spring I Spy Bag! Both of us love it :)


I had a blast this weekend with my family. It was relaxing, fun, and filled with laughter. Just what the doctor ordered.

I just posted about Ray Ban Wayfarers that I wanted for H. Weeeeeell I'm happy to report that I did not have to spend $70! Happy day! Nordstrom had these for a mere $10! And they seem to be practically baby proof. He only kept them on for the picture but maybe he'll get used to them? I have my own Ray Ban Wayfarers that my wonderful hubby got me for our first Christmas together but sadly...I can't wear them anymore thanks to the allergy I developed to my contacts. One of these days I will fill them with prescription lenses...one day. 

Thanks, Sommer, for the tip off to these! Her cute boy has them too! 

Today Holden & his cousins head to take pictures with some real live bunnies...H might even have a little cotton tail himself ;)

Before I forget - Sherwin Williams is having a sale this weekend....40% off of everything! They only do this like twice a year so take advantage! I will be repainting our guest bath in the near future thanks to the sale :)


One last thing, thank you to everyone who has supported me & Lori so far in the giveaway! You guys are awesome.

why is baby stuff so fun to buy?

So...remember this post [from about a week ago] about how I want an ERGO carrier for baby #2? 

ALLAN: YOU CAN STOP READING NOW.

Well...I justified realized I would get more for my money if I purchased it now and used it for Holden and our other little ones that will come along. Makes perfect sense, right?

Isn't it so cute? Organic, too! I just wish I had it for our trip up to Utah this next week. Holden could get all snuggled in while we walk around Park City and whatnot. Oh wells. I'll have it for our next trip...whenever that may be!

Also, COME ON - we're getting a ton of money for our tax return [thank you house credit & holden] so can't I get one awesome thing and save the rest?! I'm good at justifying purchases, aren't I? It's a talent. Ask my hubby.

Anyway, I'm very excited to get it. I really can't wait. I'll tell you guys all about it and post pictures in roughly 7-10 days!

Once again, you can find ERGO's full line of baby carriers here.
