April Top 5

May 1, 2020 by ashadmin No Comments

Woah, hello May! I’m not sure how it’s possible but April went by both at lightening speed and a snails pace. The first half of the month we had cold weather and rain, but the second has been filled with sunny days and the best weather. That probably has something to do with it. My April best sellers will give you an idea of what everyone has been up to…. spending all their time at home.

Outdoor table – we purchased this last year during a big Memorial Day sale and have loved it ever since. World Market has had a major sale on all outdoor furniture for the past month and it’s still happening.

Beach Cruiser – probably the cutest adult bike I’ve ever seen. It’s a lot more of a production riding bikes with kids so I don’t get out on this enough. But I really love it and wish I was able to ride more.

*my exact color is out of stock but I love it in yellow and this light blue is really pretty too.

Macrame umbrella – another World Market item. This always sells out really fast but they keep brining it back. If you want it and it says sold out you can enter your email for a restock notification.

Water table – we got this for Wilder for his birthday, but I knew both kids would love it. They spend so much time playing with it, splashing, making rain showers, scooping, etc. Such a great toddler activity.

Kid’s double lounge chair – this is seriously so cute, I wish it was available in adult sizes. We’ve had it for three years now and it’s held up pretty well over time. I love it, the kids love it, Mackie loves it. It also comes in a neutral tan color that I might like more.

*this was so popular I can’t find it in stock anywhere.

As always, thank you so much for reading and following. I hope you’re staying safe and sane at home right now!

Toddler Approved Crafts From Next Day Delivery

September 23, 2019 by ashadmin No Comments

Crosby just turned two and a half and it might be my favorite age yet. She’s absolutely hilarious, sweet and so busy. She almost never stops unless I have a fun project for her to do. Lately when Wilder takes his morning nap, Crosby and I do something fun together. I needed some new toddler approved crafts to keep her busy so I went on Walmart.com and ordered a few for Next Day delivery.

my sweater, Crosby’s dress, butterfly terrarium, rock painting kit

Next Day delivery is honestly my life saver. I’m constantly ordering diapers and formula for Wilder. Beauty products for me and whatever Crosby is into at the moment. There are over 100,000 items included in Next Day delivery, so it’s really easy to navigate. If you’re on your phone you can easily select NextDay Mode and find all the products ready to shop. But the best part is it’s free with no membership fee! And if you spend $35 or more shipping is free too.

Crosby loves butterflies and I knew she would have fun making this butterfly terrarium. It was the perfect activity for us to do together… she had fun putting the stickers on the wings and planting the butterflies in the sand and seed mix I poured into the jar. I also ordered this rock painting kit but I’m saving it for another day. I liked to have a few crafts stashed away for a rainy day… or just a boring day.

I need to order a few more to stock up! There are so many more crafts and projects that I think would be fun for toddlers and even kids a little older…

Twinning Teddy Coats

January 17, 2019 by ashadmin No Comments

It’s been raining allllll week long, but fingers crossed today is the last of it. I’ve been checking the weather forecast religiously and Saturday it’s supposed to be 70 degrees and sunny… I can’t wait! Crosby and I may have to break out our bikinis. Do you know how hard it is to keep a toddler entertained inside all day without losing your mind?

on me: jacket, t-shirt, similar leggings, similar shoes

on Crosby: jacket, t-shirt, leggings, boots 

It’s not easy. After too many days cooped up, yesterday we decided to venture out to the Aquarium. It was a fun way to break up the week and now we’re anxiously awaiting dryer, sunnier, warmer days.

You’ve heard me go on and one about my teddy coat on here too many times to count. Well Jeff knows how much I love it and ordered Crosby this one that’s pretty similar. She looks like a snuggly stuffed animal in it and loves wearing it. I also got here these boots last week… they were on major sale so I picked them up in two sizes as well as this pair. If it’s going to be cold and rainy, at least she can dress for it.

Since we wore our matching teddy coats it was only natural to take it to the next level by both wearing vintage band t-shirts. I needed some longer tee’s to fit over my growing bump and found this one. It has a more relaxed fit and I went up a size to make it even roomier. Post-pregnancy I plan to wear it knotted in the front, since I won’t need the extra length.

17 Month Old Favorite Things

August 16, 2018 by ashadmin No Comments

hangers, rompers from left to right: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, crib, mattress, rug, pouf, camel print, similar pom pom mobile

This might seem like kind of an odd photo for a post titled “Crosby’s Favorite Things,” but playing in her closet is definitely one of those right now, so this pic seems oddly appropriate. Anyway, at 17 months Crosby is BUSY and anything that will keep her attention for any period of time is a win in my book. I wanted to share some of her current favorites.

Toys:

Doll stroller: she’ll push this empty, with a doll or stuffed animal riding in it… or load it up with all kinds of toys and push it around.

Shopping cart: similar to the stroller, she loves pushing this around too.

Stuffed animals: nothing revolutionary here but she’s started getting into stuffed animals. She sleeps with a really soft hippo in her crib and has a few other she loves to carry around.

Connecting toys: I’m not sure what she likes more, playing with these or emptying/filling the bucket they came in. Either way, they keep her occupied for a few minutes so they’re a win in my book.

Stackable cups/buckets: she loves to stack them and carry them around individually… and will sometimes bring them in the bath.

Bath toys… in and out of the bath: last month Crosby went through a hating the bath phase, but that seems to have passed… at least this week. She loves this mermaid, rubber duckies and these letters and numbers.

Water table: when it’s not too hot we love playing in the back yard. I always put this under an umbrella and she will stand at it splashing and playing with boats and toys for a few minutes.

My first purse: this was a shower gift and she’s now all about it. Loves to carry it around, especially when pushing her shopping cart. It’s so cute!

Books – favorites being “Mr. Brown Can Moo: Can You“, “Where Is Baby’s Belly Button” and all Jellycat books

Feeding:

Snack cup

Sippy cup

Water bottle

Place mat/plate

Let me know if you have anything to add to the list. We love trying new things!
