Happy Sunday, friends! I have been waiting to share this because I wanted to really have a good feel before sharing some of my favorite baby products this far! But we are two months in and these products have been life savers!
1. We love our DockATot. We just got this cover in and it's so pretty! Definitely comes in handy to have an extra cover. This is a pretty simple option too!
2. These muslin blankets are our favorite! They are so soft and you can find so many different patterns and colors. We use them for everything!
3. The boppy is a must. Make sure to get extra covers. Heck, get a second boppy too! We have one in the living room and one in our bedroom. It makes transitioning in the morning and night easier!
4. This sign has been a lifesaver! And now it is one of my go-to baby shower gifts. People will literally stop me in the store just to read it and ask where I got it. Definitely a must-have! Johanna, the mompreneur behind these tags is the sweetest and the story behind her business is so touching!
5. A sound machine is everything. We go everywhere with this little thing! And the charge on it is fantastic. It will last ALL day! We also got the Hatch which is a sound machine and night light for her bedroom. So once we move her to her crib, she has one in her room too! For now, we just place it next to the DockATot on our bed.
6. The Owlet Smart Sock gives us such peace of mind at night. It's pricey but so worth it! We just ordered the Owlet Baby Monitor and are excited to give it a go too!
7. Burp. Cloths. You can NEVER have enough. And a monogrammed burp cloth is the cutest. We were gifted a bunch from a friend and I love them so much! Why does adding a monogram to something so simple make it THAT much cuter!
8. A swing! This one so far has been a hit in our house! It vibrates, has white noise and music and rocks/swings! You can also take off the swing portion and use it as a floor rocker which is neat! We originally got the MamaRoo but girlfriend was just not a fan of it!
9. Such an easy tub to use! And I love that her little feet can hang down into the water. She loves kicking!
10. The UppaBaby Cruz Stroller. Y'all. We love this stroller. SO lightweight, so easy to use and it's so sleek looking! I know this is #10 on the list but honestly, it should be #1 because I literally love it so much!
Tell me - anything that I am missing that was a huge must-have for you during the first few months?

Happy Monday friends! I wanted to give a progress update on the nursery and share another sweet maternity #OOTD with you all. Now that I am about to hit 36 weeks, the nesting is REAL and I've been working hard on this sweet little space!
Click here to see what I had originally envisioned for her room and read on below to see how it's coming along!
It was a no brainer that Molly girl got her own bed in the nursery! (I've had this sweet angel for over 10 years!) I knew that I wanted to incorporate a special spot for her when it came to designing this space. She loves to spend the afternoons in here just lounging in the sun! This velvet floor pillow was the perfect addition and goes so well with the rest of the decor!
I'm also teaming up with PinkBlush Maternity again to share another look at their adorable maternity dresses.
I received this pretty mauve floral dress from PinkBlush. Not only is the floral print so sweet but it also is the softest material allowing room for this growing bump!
As we get closer and closer to spring, I can't help but find myself falling for all the spring colors! PinkBlush also offers dresses for just about any stage in pregnancy, pre and post! How great is this gingham dress? I also may or may not have scooped up this swaddle blanket too for newborn pics.
Having a chat with Molly about her new sister!
Wishing you all a wonderful week! Click here to shop the nursery decor!

Happy Wednesday friends! I got so many questions about our sweet little tree in our kitchen so I wanted to share a look at it and some of the sources! This tree is what I like to call the "just add it" tree - HA! I literally just kept adding everything to it. Garland, pinecones, cotton, you name it! By the end, I realized I should have added some ribbon but it was too full to start the process over again LOL
So to get started, getcha one of these cutie 6ft trees (bonus if you find one that already has lights but this one was so affordable so I just added lights of my own) Once you have your tree, determine your theme!
Since this is in our kitchen and it's a little more rustic chic with taupes and browns, I wanted to stay within that color scheme. A gold berry garland was THE PERFECT TOUCH before adding some bulbs. I don't know why but I have always been a glass ornament gal - I'm sure that will change once baby girl is here but who knows! I also regret not adding some of this ribbon. It would have taken it to a whole new level!
I then added the wood tree garland (sold out) but this is an even better option! Love that it says Merry & Bright!
Now time to add in your pinecone picks and cotton ball pods and bam you're almost done. Then add some fun festive ornaments. These would be an adorable addition! Top it off with any burlap bow! This one is the cutest. Maybe one year I will add in some red to my tree!
For some reason, I always end up going with burlap fabric as my "tree skirt." I love that it adds some texture and I can fluff it up instead of a normal tree skirt that lays flat. I just picked mine up for a few dollars at my local JoAnns.

Little A even got a prime spot on the tree! I cannot believe we are less than 11 weeks out until meeting her!
Our Christmas cards from Minted. We've used Minted for our save the dates and wedding invitations and cannot say enough good things about the company! The work speaks for itself!
I know this has nothing to do with our tree but this $6 lipstick is the only color you need for this holiday season! And this nail polish. I am typically not a red fan during the holidays but this red-violet goodness is giving me all the holiday vibes!
Have a wonderful week!
