What are some fall trends you’re looking forward to? Any good splurge items?
Can’t wait to bust out my new leather jacket, oversized flannels, booties, and beanies. Splurge always on a leather jacket or winter coat..something that will never go out of style no matter what!
Alix do you plan to do sleep training with Kinsley? Is there a method you use or plan to use?
I won’t formally sleep train her until she’s about 4 months old, but we have recently moved her into her room and crib and I’m trying to get her on more of a loose schedule. I’m trying to limit her day sleep to 5 hours and make sure shes eating enough during the day to set her up for a successful nights sleep. I have used the resources of Taking Cara Babies, The Full Feedings Method, and Sleep Shop Consulting. I follow all of these accounts on IG and find their information really helpful. I don’t exactly know what method I will use in 1-2 months, but hopefully we are starting to lay the foundation of good sleep now, so it’s simply just working on dropping her middle of the night feed. I’ll keep you posted!
Can you share the teeth whitening system you guys use? I have very sensitive teeth- do they hurt your teeth?
We love love love Smile Brilliant’s Sensitive teeth whitening system. Truly the only whitening gel that doesn’t hurt! It comes with a desensitizing gel that we used at first but now we only need the actual whitening gel without desensitizing first.. we try to whiten 2-3x a week (Alix isn’t whitening while breastfeeding but will start back up when she’s done)!
I’m about 13 weeks pregnant and starting to feel better! I want to start building my registry now! What site did you guys use for your baby registry and any key items I should be sure to add?
I (Heather) feel so out of the loop on all the new baby gear these days but you can check out my registry I did for Parker here (no idea how outdated it is lol probably not useful but take a gander).
I (Alix) used Baby List to create my registry with Quinn. I also wrote this post about newer items I’m using this time with Kinsley. I love all the items I listed, but the Nuna seat. Kins didn’t care for it and loves her bouncer best!
Alix do you like the Silver Cross stroller? How does it compare to the Uppa Baby?
I’ve only used the Silver Cross a few times and fricken love it! I feel so fancy strolling around with it. My Uppa Baby is 5 years old, so I think they’ve improved, but the Silver Cross is a much smoother ride for walks. I love the Uppa Baby’s simplicity with the car seat easily attaching and plan to still use that stroller for everyday errands. I’ll use the Silver Cross more for longer walks until she can go in a BOB stroller (my ultimate favorite stroller for walking and running!)
My friend just found out she’s having her second boy and I want to send her a little congrats/unique baby gift…any ideas? She doesn’t have a registry for baby #2.
If you have a name for the baby, this baby blanket is SO SO cute, unique, chic, and special.. I actually just want it with my own initials 😉 These wooden name puzzles are also a really sweet idea. If you don’t have a name, I think the barefoot dreams blanket is such a luxe gift and the baby would be swaddled in buttery perfection 🙂
I’m traveling to SF for a family trip in September and so excited to (hopefully) be able to wear some sweaters and booties. What are your favorite booties for fall this year? How about sweater trends?
All of my favorites linked below:
OK I’m getting over summer nail colors…what are your favorite end of summer/fall transition nail colors? I need some inspo!
Go big or go home, girlfriend.. we are ready for dark dark dark red, black, purple, blue hues all day long!! Who needs to wait for summer to end lol. But if you want to ease into it, go with darker nudes/greige colors. If you’re ready to dive in head first: OPI Lincoln Park After Dark, Stick to Your Burgundies, Malaga Wine (fave), CIA Color is Awesome (it’s a deep green), Less is Norse (deep gray).
