Conrad Weekly | 23 Weeks

Conrad is on the move! This little man can hardly keep still these days. It’s hard to get a still picture of the guy! Here’s my latest attempt 😉

Wearing a lightweight knit summer romper by Egg Baby.

Arden loves helping me take Conrad’s weekly picture now. She’s such a great big sister. She loves her baby “butter” so much. And he loves her too, no one keeps him happy like she does 😉

Arden loves her “Easter” dress and wants to wear it all the time. Well that and her princess dress collection 😉

Earth Day 2014 Favorites

Happy Earth Day! May today help bring awareness to the need to save our beautiful earth. Here are some fun earth-friendly goodies I’ve had my eye on lately.

 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9


1. Natursutten Natural Rubber Teether $15
I’ve been reading all about natural rubber lately. So much safer than plastic and silicone. This teether caught my eye because, if your baby is chewing on something, shouldn’t it be made of something non-toxic and safe?

2. Eos Lip Balm approx. $3
Arden and I are both addicted to this fun lip balm.

3. Skin Savior Balm $68
I know, I know quite pricey (at least it is for me!), but I’ve been hearing about all of the amazing properties of this balm. AND all of the different uses. It definitely seems like a workhorse.

4. Everyone Face Exfoliating Cleanser $10
Have you heard? Those little micro-plastic beads used in so many facial cleansers these days are polluting our lakes and oceans. Fish are eating them and poisoning themselves and us. Water treatment plants aren’t able to to filter them out of our water because they’re too small. So if you use a cleanser with those micro-beads, you might want to think about switching. The Mr loves his exfoliating cleanser, so I thought I’d switch it out for this one and see how he fares 😉

5. Everyone Balance Shampoo $10
This shampoo sounds amazing. It helps balance your scalp while cleaning, instead of drying it out.

6. Jar Sippy Cup $8
A sippy cup made from a heavy-duty canning jar and a silicone mouthpiece.

7. Hevea Natural Rubber Bath Toys $25
Again with the natural rubber. These are so safe for your kids as well as being nostalgic.

8. FEED bag $45
I love FEED bags, I’m addicted to them. I guess it’s a good addiction to have, right?

9. PACT Women’s Watermelon Tank $28
This is not only earth-friendly, it’s mama-friendly. I’m a huge fan of pact clothing, I even added some to Conrad’s Easter basket. The shirts are a nice soft cotton, made well with nice shape. This tank is one of my all time favorites though. I love it for it’s great flattering fit with out being to tight. It’s a fun springtime color and it’s long so it covers your bum and belly. Love it.

Happy Earth Day!

Rent the Runway

Yay for Spring! Yay for warmer weather and bright sunny days and wearing flip-flops and summer dresses. Boo for having post-baby body, boo for not being able to fit into my old pre-prego jeans and boo for not having summer dresses that fit me.
That being said, who wants to go out and buy all new clothes (that fit now) when you’re hoping that you’ll (soon) fit into your old ones? Not me! 
So I decided to try out Rent the Runway (personal referral link for those of you who aren’t a member yet!). I’m sure a lot of you are already signed up…I feel like I’m last on the bandwagon. What do you guys think of it? I tried a similar website before, wasn’t happy with the fit of the dress I rented AT ALL (it made me look pregnant and I wasn’t even preggers yet!!!). And now it looks like that other site looks pretty cheesy 😉 Here’s to hoping that Rent the Runway is all kinds of better! I like the fact that you can return the dress if it doesn’t fit and get your money refunded. Yes, please, thank you!
So I was thinking of renting a dress for Easter, since I found Arden the most fabulous little concoction of a dress. It’s been sitting in her closet for the last year waiting for her to be big enough to wear it. Why is it so easy to buy clothes for her and torturous to buy clothes for me? Oh yea, that’s right, because she looks cute in EVERYTHING…ha!
Here are a couple of choices I’m considering…Thoughts? I’m liking the yellow Dolly Lace Shift Dress by Lily Pulitzer the best so far.
