Wilder turned two the weekend before last and I’m still in shock! With everything that has happened in the world over the last year it feels like an extra blur. He is non-stop and so much fun. He loves singing, dancing, doing whatever “Sissy” is doing and any kind of ball. Plays hard and loves hard and as much as I want to keep him a baby, he’s growing everyday and turning more into a toddler.
We did a family party at home for his birthday with our parents and I wanted to decorate with beach balls. Jeff and I DIY’ed the decorations a couple of hours before everyone came over and everything was so simple. The theme was “2 much fun” and that describes Wilder perfectly. I linked everything at the bottom of this post.
Somehow the first week of April has flown by and gotten away from me. Between all the Easter fun and planning for Wilder’s Birthday (Saturday) it’s been a little hectic. I couldn’t let too much time pass without sharing my March top five sellers. As usual the list is a mixed bag – a few home items, accessories and clothing. I’ll break it all down below!
Fire pit – We’ve had this fire pit for a few years and have been so happy with it. It’s not huge but still a good size. It also comes in gray and i almost wish we went with that color.
Lounge chairs – One of my backyard favorites. I purchased these on sale three years ago and love lounging on them when we’re in the backyard… or when I sneak back there while the kids are napping.
Sunglasses – Jeff and I both got a pair of these a few years ago and still wear them all the time. I think they’re so versatile and flattering on everyone. I love the hexagon shape and they seem to go with everything!
Quilted jacket – This is a hot item. It keeps selling out but they’ve been restocking it here and there. I do want to note it runs really oversized, I purchased a small because xs was not available and it’s very roomy.
Round straw tote – I used this quite a bit on our desert weekend last month. It’s lightweight and a great size for all your sun essentials – would even work if I was with the kids and was lugging their things around.
On Sunday Crosby turned four and I’m still trying to wrap my head around it. Four suddenly feels old… so much older than three. She’s no longer considered a toddler, now a preschooler. Her Birthday also marks one year since Covid completely changed our world. One year of restrictions and adapting to a new normal. The second year in a row without friends at her Birthday party after we cancelled her party last year one day before when the world was shutting down. Kids are so resilient… she’s been amazing through it all and will only come out stronger. We were able to have a little celebration with family and I want to share the details from that.
We’ve almost made it to my favorite season, spring! I don’t know about you but I’d be good with about two weeks of winter a year. Luckily we don’t have severe or long winters but by March I’m always ready for sunshine and warm weather. Here are my top five sellers from February.
1. Faux Fur Slides – I purchased these last month and included them in my February staples. I loved them because they reminded me of my favorite slippers I wear around the house but they have a rubber sole and can be worn outside. I’m actually surprised with how much I’ve worn them so far. I love that they keep your feet a little warmer than most sandals. They’re super cute, under $30 and come in a few other colors.
2. U-neck Tank – I think there’s only been one of two months this tank hasn’t been a top seller since last May! That’s how you know it’s good. I have it in all three colors and wear them all year long. They’re a great length, tuck in easily and are perfect to layer when it’s colder.
3. Tan Shacket – Another February staple and currently my most reached for jacket. Love how neutral it is and the price point is great too. It’s selling out fast but I also love the blush version. I went with my true size, but if you don’t want it to be oversized I’d size down.
4. Egg Chair – After lusting after this chair for over two years I finally pulled the trigger and I’m so happy about it. We haven’t gotten to use it too much yet since it’s still winter, but I know it will be even better when it’s warm. I purchased this cover for it and currently keep it covered unless we’re sitting in it. In the summer I’ll leave it uncovered.
5. Vegan Leather Puffer – I snagged this jacket on sale at the end of January to get me through winter. It’s really warm and comfy and I love that it’s slightly cropped – not short but not oversized. I’ll continue to wear it when it’s cold.
Well we made it 1/12th of the way through the year! Ha. I know yesterday was Groundhog’s Day, but truthfully every day has kind of felt like GHD for the past 11 months. Today I’m sharing my January top five sellers and then at the bottom I’m also sharing my Amazon top five from the month as well.
Plaid Shacket – Another month with this as my top seller. This “shacket” – shirt + jacket has been a favorite for the past couple months. It’s currently sold out but sometimes it gets re-stocked. This month I’m loving this tan one.
Free People Pullover – This was also one of my favorite purchases last month and a staple this month. Currently on sale and it’s cozy!
Target Ribbed Tank – I had this in a few colors last summer and was so excited when I saw the tie dyed version. I love these tanks, perfect on their own or layered under something. I bought it in pink and beige.
Outdoor Dining Bench – You can tell we’re inching towards spring when outdoor items are selling fast. We’ve had this bench on one side of our outdoor dining table for two years and love it for extra seating.
Outdoor Tassel Umbrella – Always a hot item! This umbrella sells out quickly but is often restocked. I have two of them and want to purchase another as a spare.
Amazon top 5:
Slippers – So comfortable and cozy. I wear them 24/7 at home.
Teddy Coat– My go-to coat in the winter. It comes in a bunch of colors and is under $50.
Leggings – Super flattering basic leggings. They’re high-waisted and hit right at my ankle. They come in a bunch of colors and prints – I have them in black.
Adidas Sneakers – These are “big kids” sizes – you subtract 1.5 from your women’s size. I wear a 6.5 in women’s and a 5 in these.
Toddler Sneakers – Crosby’s favorite shoes! These are designer inspired and come in 3 colors. They take about a month to come and run a little small.
2020 was the year that really taught me to appreciate delivery services. I had dabbled in them in the past, but really got hooked on them last year. I was at home with the kids full time and didn’t want to take them to the store to run errands, so I really had no choice. But now that I’ve started, there’s really no turning back and I honestly can’t imagine taking my kids grocery shopping or on an errand… for a long long time.
Do you know what my favorite membership is? Walmart+ – not to sound like a broken record, because I’ve talked about this a few times previously, but there’s really nothing better than Walmart+ for home deliveries. Everything I need from diapers to mascara can be at my door in a matter of hours with a few clicks. It’s life changing plus time and sanity saving.
Walmart+ membership lasts for a year and it costs $98 (broken down that’s only $2 per week – calculated based on 52 weeks) or $12.95 per month. As a Walmart+ member you get Walmart+ FREE SHIPPING from Walmart.com with no order minimum. (excludes oversized freight & Marketplace items) as well as free delivery from your store on orders $35+ (restrictions apply) on groceries and more as soon as same day! Which is how I’ve had diapers delivered to my door in a matter of hours when I was on the verge of running out.
Last week I realized I was low on just about every cleaning supply in my house (swiffer re-fills, swiffer duster, windex, paper towels, folex – aka magic), so I quickly logged in to my Walmart+ account and placed an order. I’m always looking for little ways to make the days fun for Crosby right now so I added this set for her so she could “help” me. I also threw in a princess dress for her and a fun cardigan for me. #whateverittakesIt may have taken twice as long but she loved it and asks to “clean” everyday… I think a kid’s vacuum is in her future.
Wilder even had FOMO from our cleaning party and wanted in on the action.
