Every time I grocery shop with my husband, towards the end of the shopping trip I will sneak away to cruise the beauty aisles. I don't always have a purchase in mind, I just like to check out what's new and what looks exciting. I've found some pretty great makeup, hair and skincare products "at random," but it can definitely be a hit or miss. ...
Harper Reese- Five Months Old!
Month four was a whirlwind of changes for our little Harper. The biggest change is that she now sleeps in her nursery. I had intended to have her co-sleep in our bedroom for the AAP recommended six months, but I realized that keeping her there was more for my benefit than for hers. She would go to sleep so early and then we would have to ...
Our Saturday…
This Saturday, I was especially thankful for antibiotics. I left work on Wednesday afternoon feeling so terrible I don't know how I even made it through the morning. I don't get sick very often and I haven't taken a sick day in over a year. I hate missing work, but I also wouldn't want other to be exposed to what I have and in order to get better, ...
Happy Friday + Pretty Girl Ruffle Onesies from Happiness Lives Here!
I have been absolutely smitten with Etsy for a long time. I've purchased things for our wedding, for our home and personalized items. In fact, I almost always go to Etsy first when I'm looking for something for Harper. I just find that the designs offered on Etsy are more unique and modern than you'd find on conventional websites and in typical ...
A Girls Night Out with Almay- CC Cream Review
For the last year, BB creams were the beauty-product-du-jour. It seems like every brand came out with one, and ads on TV and in magazines all touted BB creams as THE skin solution.I had never tried a BB cream because I felt that they wouldn't provide enough coverage for my skin, which is breakout prone. I like to use concealer to help hide ...
DIY Painted Pumpkins with Gold Polka Dots!
I saw a lot of awesome painted pumpkin tutorials on Pinterest recently and wanted to get in on all the fun. I absolutely LOVE DIY projects and crafting and even though I don't have as much free time now, I tend to craft turbo-speed style on weekends after Harper is asleep! | the final product | After picking up some pumpkins at the ...
Four Years
(Well technically four years and a month, since I forgot to do this post in September!) Four years ago on September 21, 2009, I published my first ever blog post. Over these last few years, I've shared so many special moments with you---my readers---and I'm so thankful for the blogging community and the positive experience it has been thus far. I ...
Pumpkin Patch Fun
There are so many awesome pumpkin patches set up all around Houston. Today, we went to two---one in Bellaire and one at St. Luke's. The pumpkins were practically all gone at the one in Bellaire and I really wanted to get some so fortunately our second stop still had a ton of pumpkins left. I'm trying to make some time this evening after ...
Our Saturday…
Saturdays have been awesome lately. Harper is sleeping through the night most nights and if she does wake up, usually putting her paci back in is all she needs to go right back to sleep (sometimes, she even grabs it and puts it back in herself!) On Saturdays she has her morning bottle and then we all sleep for another two and a half to three ...
Outfits Lately…
We've got our morning routine pretty sorted out these days---but it doesn't leave much time for outfit photos so this is about the best it's going to get at this point and time...I literally snap these right before I open the door and leave the house, ready to start our journey to daycare and work. Sweater- Banana Republic | Skirt- J.Crew ...
