Happy Hour

I have to put together goodie bags for my bestie’s bachelorette party in Nashville and don’t know what I should put in there other than Advil lol! Any cute and creative ideas?

Eye patches | Lip Gloss | Hangover Kit | Hair Claw Clips | Coozie | Drink Pouch (roadies, duh!)

I really want the look-alike Goyard you posted on Amazon a year or so back but I can’t find it anywhere! Help!

Amazon doesn’t carry them anymore because they caught on to us 😉 But guess who has an awesome designer “look for less?” Your girl, Walmart. And before you scoff, I personally have one of the bags and it’s damn good. I personally think they took over when Amazon got in trouble with all the ”lookalikes.” You can shop it here.. it’s the perfect bag to lug all of your airport things or your work laptop when you don’t want to ruin your real Louis Vuitton. I love the backpack version and this side body. I have this pouch and it’s big.. it holds all of my skincare when I travel.

I need a new hat for Spring/Summer.. but under $150!

This hat has always been a fave for a budget friendly option! But this is my very fave that I wear constantly in spring and summer!

Heading to warmer weather in April for Spring Break and need a cute and inexpensive pool bag.. any ideas?

This one is super cute and popular and comes in multiple colors.. and cheap! The best combo.

Can you post how you packed for two kiddos? About to take my first trip with our 5 month old and 3.5 year old.

This is how I do it and it works for us. I share a big suitcase with Kinsley. I pack both of our things in packing cubes. Quinn has her own little suitcase and a backpack with her airplane things and she carries all her own stuff- praise she’s old enough for this! My husband is also on his own with his own suitcase.

This is how I pack my diaper bag (making sure I have PLENTY of bottles, formula, diapers, change of clothes, and wipes!) and I have my fanny pack with my things so they are easy to access in the airport.

Right now we bring the car seat + stroller thru the airport and gate check both and then I wear Kinsley on the plane. We use this car seat bag (and I also throw a bunch of diapers in this bag and any loose ends we have) and my husband wears it thru the airport. I ask the hotel for a pack and play, so we don’t have to bring one.

Lastly, I cannot say enough good things about the Slumberpod. This was my first trip using it and because we all shared one room it was essential for Kins to have her own dark space. I could put the baby camera and sound machine in there.

How did you wean? I think you did it at 6 months? I’m trying also as my daughter lost interest in nursing and I despise pumping, I’m down to nursing her in the AM then I pump two other times, but want to ditch the pumping.

I stated to wean at about 4-5 months and did my last pump session right before 6 months. I went from 7-8 pumps a day to 6-7 for a few weeks, then 5-6 pumps a day for a week or so, then 4-5 and so on. Once I got to 2-3 pumps a day my supply tanked and I dropped off pretty quick from there. I did have to hand express some (or you could use a hand pump) and massage in the shower quit a bit to get everything out. TMI- sorry lol

I’m looking for a black arched full length mirror for my bedroom. Can you link a few you like?

Yes! Here are some great options.

On the hunt for a new oversized grey cardigan that will transition well into spring.

Here are a few at all different price points.
