Birthday Wishlist

My birthday is coming up this Friday and I want to go shopping! 
I'll be looking for a great fitting pair of skinny jeans and fun printed and colored shorts. Add flowy button front tanks as summer essentials and maybe a new pair of sandals. Then I'm on the hunt for a fabulous retro swimsuit. What are you looking for this summer?

Hello World

Tank and Pants: Motherhood Maternity.
Sandals: Sofft.
Clutch: TJ Maxx.

I wish I could say I left the house today this week for something other than a doctor's appointment. But baby caught a bit of a cold and this week has looked like the scenes below in various forms and seating arrangements. I believe I was a human pacifier (sorry, TMI) for at least a day or two. And nothing makes baby happier than being in Momma's arms. So, only a few chores get done, dinner is cooked once in awhile and lots of naps are taken in that green chair. But that's okay with me.

I always have the intention to get out and about, but it rarely comes to fruition for one reason or another. Hopefully I'll make it to the MOMS Club playdate today. Wish me luck!

Baby Carrying. It's the thing to do.


Baby wearing is very popular and important for a couple of reasons. One, you need to get things done around the house, right? And two, baby needs to be held and loved. A lot. So, here's a new momma trying out every baby carrier she can find...Eek! Which one is best for you? That's what you have to figure out. And I'm on a mission to find the right one for me. We have been through multiple baby carriers and Baby is only 6 weeks old. (And I've bought a new one since finding this one. Which I'll review once I've used it.) 

Anyway, this is the Ifantino Mei Tai Sash*. It's not a bad little carrier.

I like:
  • that it supports baby's weight on my shoulders and around my waist
  • it is very comfortable and easy to put on
  • it has a detachable hood to block the sun or keep baby warm in the cold
  •  you can wear baby in three different positions as he grows
I don't like:
  •  that the sash ties around baby putting pressure on his back
Perhaps this is better suited after he gets a little older and stronger.

What was/is your favorite baby carrier?

Hot Houndstooth

 Top: INC (gift).
Pants and Cami: Motherhood Maternity.
Sandals: Born.

Hot pink seems to be my color right now. I love these pants with this herringbone hounds-tooth print. (I always get the two words mixed up when talking about pattern.) Which is one of my favorites. I am loving these sheer, button front blouses too. Flattering, yet belly-camouflaging. And kind of perfect for spring weather. However, it's jumped to summer-time temps already. I dread a hot summer, but such is life in the desert.
