Favorite Baby Shops On Etsy

I had way too much fun putting together this list! I've been asked a lot recently what my favorite baby Etsy shops are, so I wanted to round them up and share them today! From personalized baby books...coming home outfits...trendy clothing and accessories...birth announcement pillows, I'm crazy about all of them. Etsy is just one of those websites you could spend hours on, especially for cute little kids stuff.

I've ordered from all of these shops personally (some even multiple times) and the quality of their items are top notch!

+Lulu & Roo (sweatpants, sweatshirts, leggings, beanies, beach shorts)
+Infantly Cute Boutique (burp cloths, bibs, pacifier clips)
+Monogramme Maison (personalized coming home and holiday outfits)
+LP Outfitters (beanies)
+Maine Girl Creations (take home baby sets-this is where I got Grayson's "hello world" outfit)
+2Giggles (albums and keepsakes)
+Finch and Cotter (personalized birth pillows-this is the exact one I got for Grayson's room)
+Sew Sweet Stiches Baby (closet dividers)
+Mamis Little Muse (the cutest handmade baby and toddler clothing)

Oh, and I got matching big brother and lil bro shirts from here.

I always recommend a baby album, personalized bibs, or a blanket when people ask me for baby shower gift ideas. I have this album for my kids - it's great because you can get pretty much any page you'd ever need or want in it...

Share with me in the comments your favorite Etsy shop so I can add them to my list!

Sale Alert: Nike Juvenate

Are you obsessed with running shoes like I am? If so, you'll appreciate this post. I swear to you if I could wear Nike's every single day I would. Honestly, all the heels in my closet haven't seen the light of day in a long time and probably have dust on them. Mom life...right?  

Anyway, I fell in LOVE with the Nike 'Juvenate' Sneaker from Nordstrom that everyone raves about but they are constantly out of stock, and I also kind of wanted to wait to buy them until they went on sale. 

Well, I'm really glad I decided to wait and dig a little deeper to find them elsewhere because the same exact ones just became available online at Finish Line and are on sale for $15 cheaper (only $70!) than at Nordstrom! Shop them here. Don't you love it when that happens?!

 And to top it off, I found this very similar striped pair marked down to $60! I actually ordered both pairs and will return whichever one I like the least (this works for indecisive people like myself...)

I'm obsessed and had to share this good find. I love how neutral they are because they will go with everything. Happy shoe shopping ladies!

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Five On Friday

 -ONE-

my most recent purchases: this amazing scarf that is only $19 - such a good find!

this plaid tunic (comes in different patterns - the ivory and the red are my favorites)

-TWO-

 I've finally re-joined my gym after taking one too many months off. I didn't really need it when I was pregnant since we have a treadmill in our basement, but I do now because it motivates me and I can take my favorite spin class again. I went for the first time last night to spin and it felt really good to be back! Although, I did feel a little guilty because I wasn't home to put Camden to bed (I snuck in his room though when I got home and picked him up to cuddle which was totally worth waking him for), but it's good to have "me" time, you know?

 -THREE-

Comparing pictures of my boys has been a hobby of mine lately (hobby because I've spent so much time doing so) and I just can't believe how much they look alike! 

They are the same age in these photos (Camden is on the left)

 What do you think? Twins or no?

his "YAY! It's Friday!" face :) Is this outfit not the cutest?!

-FOUR-

 Did anyone else sob during this weeks This Is Us episode? I think I had watery eyes the entire episode! Goodness I'm loving this show so far!! 

-FIVE-

In an attempt to not wait until the last minute to do our Christmas shopping, we bought Grayson one of Pottery Barn's anywhere chairs (in gray, of course) last week when they were 20% off! Pretty proud of myself for getting ahead of the game. We got Camden one for his first Christmas and he uses it every single day, so I really wanted to get Grayson one for his first Christmas too! 

Oh, and I'm adding this bag to my Christmas wishlist. Billy, don't act like you didn't see this...

Linking up with these lovely ladies today! Next week I will have a post up featuring my favorite boy shops on Etsy so stay tuned.

HAPPY FRIDAY! Hope you have a great weekend, friends!

Pumpkin Patch 2016

Every year I look forward to going to our local pumpkin patch. There's not much not to love when there's sweet treats all over the place, pumpkins to bring home, and fun memories made!

Taking TWO little boys, though? My most favorite year as a family yet. I really hope our kids grow up to love going to the pumpkin patch as much as I love taking them! Last year Camden wasn't walking yet and was too little to be into it, so we just snapped some pictures of him looking cute with the pumpkins (which was awesome - and EASY!) but this year, in true Camden fashion, he was running all over the place exploring everything and had so much more fun.

He ran from pumpkin to pumpkin trying to pick them all up (probably to throw...) and of course, suckered us into getting him some candy from inside the barn...

 

 

 

He also got to have his first bounce house experience which, naturally, he loved and got mad at us when we made him get out...

 

Grayson also ran around from pumpkin to pumpkin trying to pick one out to take home. We could hardly contain him! Just kidding...when he wasn't snoozing in the carrier, he laid by some pumpkins and flashed me some cute smiles.

 

 

We also saw Cam have his little brothers back for the first time...and by that I mean saving him from his pumpkin hat that his Mom dressed him in. ;)

"don't worry brother, Mom made you wear this cheesy hat but I got you!" 

The only downside to the day was that it was a little muddy when we went so we didn't get to go on a hayride, but I hope that we can fit one in on another weekend coming up. It's a good thing their delicious apples made up for it!

Such a fun time with my boys!

And guess who's already looking forward to next year's trip? I'll give you one guess... :)
