Instagram post 17847720710728989 Oh, hey, wow! Who remembers feed posts?! 🙋‍♀️🤔🧐 Just thought it would be fun to give the lazy/crazy office cattle dog a permanent spot on the grid & take one more opportunity to send up a big praise be that this space doesn’t look like it did in the 3rd pic anymore because… storage! If I had to live under a mountain of office stuff for another day may have lost my mind. To see more of our office storage install/IKEA cabinet hack, just head to that link in my bio.

Instagram post 17950725814721672 My little love bug 🥰 I have a long-standing love affair with all things Valentine’s Day & am basically in full bliss during the time between New Year’s day & V-Day when everything’s covered in heart prints & all the pink, purple & red color combos galore, so Emmet didn’t even stand a chance at avoiding V-Day jammies. Not even a little bit sorry, Em! Living for these heart jammies + that little baby belly! I haven’t taken the deep dive into V-Day decor & style that I usually do because diaper duty is keeping me pretty busy, but I DID round up all of my favorite Valentine’s Day pajamas/outfits for babies over on the blog because SWOON! They’re just too cute. Head to the link in my bio if you, too are into making your baby a heart-covered snuggle bug 😍

Instagram post 17909912687201481 Still my favorite holiday house in Arcadia! Though I do seem to have a lot of “favorites” this time of year. 😆 There’s just so much holiday cuteness to be seen! But I think maybe this adorable family sold this house this past year & moved back East, and if so I’ll really miss seeing their decs. They were so beautiful! The neighborhood is starting to come alive with holiday decs this weekend & it’s definitely making me want to do another Arcadia Holiday Home Tour on the blog, especially since we’re not doing many decs of our own this year because that cute little maniac Elvis would delight in destroying a fun Christmas dec… especially a tree. Though admittedly, my track record of being able to actually get blog posts up since Emmet’s arrival isn’t great. Not enough hands, ya know?! 🎄

Instagram post 17909881217036722 #ad Major parent hot tip! Check out @walmart and stock up on essential items, like @pampersus Swaddlers™ Diapers & Pampers® Baby Wipes™! I don’t think I could truly wrap my head around what an important part of our lives great diapers and wipes would become until Emmet got here. Now not only have we become devotees of Pampers® Swaddlers™ & Pampers® Baby Wipes™ after our labor & delivery nurses recommended them in the hospital (which is the kind of advice that’s worth its weight in gold when you’re new to this whole parenting gig), but we can stock up because diapers & wipes are by far our most used & purchased items right now. #babylife am I right?! 

It’s so easy to order online & have items delivered straight to your door - convenience unmatched. Since baby E arrived, delivery has been a total lifesaver for us because we’re about as stretched for time as it gets & anything that makes stocking up at Walmart on the stuff we need more streamlined is a huge win and leaves me more time for everything I can do instead! Check out my stories for more!

Instagram post 17876857586544091 Our guest/kiddo bathroom is FINALLY done! And oh man does it make me happy. I’m not sure Emmet fully appreciates what a huge upgrade his bathroom got, but he’ll get there. All of the before & after pics, design details & decor sources are included in the blog post at the link in my bio & in my Stories. That @adexusatiles from @craftsmancourtceramics is obviously my favorite part of this remodel & its even better than I pictured in my head. Win! 🛀

Instagram post 17918923891937199 Little man when he was at his littlest. 🧸Thanks for fitting our little pookins in @taq.photography.llc for the dreamiest newborn session when he was brand new. Your baby whispering abilities know no bounds! Emmet in a bear suit is the thing I never knew I needed in my life & now this is living rent free in my heart forever. 💗
