Five Things Friday

Hello there! I love Fridays! I know people think its all the same when you are a stay at home mom, but seriously, I *LOVE* having weekend time with Dan. Tonight we are going to watch Shark Tank & devour veggie pad grapow(mine- & make it SUPER spicy please!) and curry(for Dan) from our favorite local thai place.. Tomorrow we will head to the farmers market, maybe mack on some pancakes at Colbys, take the dogs to the beach, and just have a lovely chill weekend.

Here are some things I am salivating over right now...

1. Fiddle leaf fig ficus... I saw this post on Honestly...WTF, and my jaw hit the floor. OMG they are beautiful! I love lots of plants in my house, so I ordered a mini one from Amazon immediately. At 7.99, how could I not? Hopefully I wont kill it.

2. Noahs pop art comic book diapers from Honest Company are making me really happy. He is so stinking CUTE crawling around in these all natural, plant based diapers. what a fabulous company they are. I love these diapers for REALS.

3. This minimalist bamboo dish scrub brush and ceramic stand for sudsing the bubbles keeps your countertops looking chic. This is my newest kitchen love. Its so sleek and simple! And... only $11.99.
Amazon Prime, I think I know I love you.

4. The first strawberry vine blossom popped out today in my garden. I noticed it when I stepped out to take the dogs for a walk this morning, and it made me smile. I pointed it out to Noah and he responded by exclaiming. "DAH!!!".  Well said young grasshopper.

5. Confession- I love the show Dateline. (*CORRECTION! Its 48 Hours mystery and 20/20 specials I love! Dateline too, but REALLY 48 hours mystery. )Murder Mysteries! I cant wait for them each week. One airs tonight- boom. Dan said I have a sick & twisted mind, and he is probably right. Do you watch them? I just cant get enough. Clearly I need to get out more. ;)

Hope you have a lovely amazing weekend! 

XOXO,

Obsessed with my garden!

Just love the airy look of these cosmos! Gorgeous. 

Im totally obsessed with my garden this year. I have white peonies, blue hydrangea, tiger lillies, lilacs, huge butterfly bushes, hostas, and forsythia (which is the only thing that has bloomed yet). I just bought some cosmos and zinnia seeds to mess around with. What are your favorite plants/flowers for your yard? I think peonies are my absolute fav. I cant wait for them to bloom! When they do, I will be sure to take photos and post them here. My garden needs a ton of work and I have black thumbs that I am trying to turn green. I think its slowly but surely working. Im dying to get a clematis trellis going. I love the way it looks. Tell me how your garden grows- I can use all the help I can get.... :)

Fab Summer LBD under $35

With all the babywearing I'll be doing this summer, I feel that I will be wearing lots of easy little dresses. This one caught my eye especially... I will wear with a simple leather thong sandal and my signature big earrings. Doesn't it look so easy and cool?

Skincare- Kate Somerville!

GAH!!!! Making Faces has an AMAZING skin care line that I just drool over. Kate Somerville has the best exfoliator I have ever used. ExfoliKate! When it gets low, I get nervous, and use scissors to open up the tube and scrape every last bit out. I love it that much. It has a citrus smell, a gritty texture, and a tingly slight sting that makes me KNOW its scraping off those layers of skin to get to the fresh smooth, dewy goodness underneath. Papaya, pineapple, and pumpkin enzymes work chemically to get to the beauty underneath. Yes its spendy, but it lasts a long time, and your skin is completely worth it. Other products I love by Kate- HydraKate line release. Its like liquid botox- I swear I can see my skin plumping up as I use it, and it smells divine...... DAYUM does it work! Have you tried anything by Kate Somerville? What products do you swear by? I know Quench is another good one. Le sigh....

Oh, how I covet thee....

XOXO,

Motherhood Mondays- Babywearing!

Babywearing is my newest obsession...... Click to read more about my favorite way to carry my boy.

White Jeans! Do or Don't?

So, I am still chipping away at this final 10lbs I want to lose. til then, Im not buying anything in the way of bottoms. However, I am lusting after this pair of hot white denim skinnies by Hudson. However, I feel that much bleach will be used to wash these if I DO happen to partake- Little grubby baby hands be smudgin up my duds! (Totally worth it BTW)... What are your thoughts on white denim?

Love this simple and easy summer outfit! 

More later babes

XOXO,
