Coming to you on a MONDAY instead of a Sunday as we had a pretty busy weekend! Hope your weekend was great! We had a pretty eventful weekend — Riley’s Purposeful Play class again Saturday morning, Shake Shack date and then we picked up Genevieve and Adela, my nieces, for a sleepover til later Sunday afternoon. Riley had fun playing with and watching her cousins and Finn loved all the pets.
- Do you read ebooks?? There are some awesome, awesome deals going on right now. I decided to make a page I will update on my blog so add this page to your bookmarks or follow me on Facebook where I regularly update them! I also added THIS PAGE which I hope is helpful to you. Just changing the site around slowly but surely!
- It is rare that I actually click through an ad on Instagram but when I saw this Dorotea collection…UH YEAH. All our dinnerware stuff is super plain and I’ve been wanting to get something a little more nice and I’m obsessed with these!
- I’ve been looking for something to hang in Riley’s crib area (we don’t have a nursery obviously because we are in a one bedroom) and so I don’t want it to be too ~baby~ since we room share and I FOUND THIS. I’m in love. I’m also in love with this sign but ummm I’m the only one in my household so far to have read Harry Potter so I might have to kick em out.
- Interesting….Walmart is going to be selling ebooks and audiobooks?
- I’ve only read one book off this list but I’m very interested in the rest!
- I am going to be a FUHREAKING mess during this Super Bowl episode of This Is Us despite this article talking about closure! I mean, we know it’s coming but I can’t even. I CANNOT. Anybody else want to call in sick the next day?
- This is my life right now. Especially tonight. I really wanted to get a bunch of things done and read and blog but Riley was just having an abnormal rough night about an hour after we put her down (normally she’s a great sleeper) so I checked all the things that needed to be checked and held her. Even when she was finally asleep and I could have put her in bed I was too busy soaking up her baby smell and the feel of her soft baby skin on mine. It’s like suddenly all my to-do lists melt away. I mean, now I’m staying up late now that she’s snoozing in the crib just fine but alas…it’s only for a season and soon she won’t want me to hold her.
- I need this onesie for Riley (from this shop on Etsy)!!!! And when she gets some freaking hair the Granger one! I wonder if she will get my Granger-like hair. Will has a thick mane of hair too so she’s screwed between my out of control curls and his thick hair.
- SO I like NEVER solicit you guys BUT my adorable and super kindhearted niece Genevieve is in her first year of Girl Scouts and she’s selling cookies! A ton of amazing people bought when I shared on Twitter and Instagram so I figured I’d put a little plug here that if you’d like a cookie dealer (lol because really…I just ate a whole box of thin mints today and have no recollection of how that happened) I would love for you to consider buying from her — with the direct online order they ship anywhere in the US! A bunch of my friends who ordered last week got theirs already!

I am in NEED of that Dumbledore sign!!! It won’t really go with baby’s Doctor Who/space-themed bedroom, but it will fit perfectly in mine! ;D And I love that Granger Hair Don’t Care onesie! I hope for a girl in the future so that I can buy cute stuff like that. Also, how adorable is your niece in those pink cowboy boots!! I also really love her name. I actually just ate half a box of thin mints last night while watching tv. It’s not hard to do at all – no regrets!

I was so against reading ebooks, but for my last birthday, my best friend bought me an ereader so tat I would stop complaining about the weight of carrying around a couple of physical books on the subway to and from work/school, as well as in my carry-on when I go travelling. I’m so glad she did, because I’ve become quite obsessed with my Kobo now!!
Ashley says
I never really got into ebooks although there are some days when I am tempted, but I am so in love with the actual book that I can’t seem to convert to the electronic kind – something about holding, smelling, turning the pages of a book makes me happy!
I often stalk Etsy for the adorable baby clothes! :)…and OMG those dishes are SO ADORABLE. One day when I am able to own my own home, I’d love to get something cute like this <3
Laura @BlueEyeBooks says
Oh my goodness those onesies are adorable!! Also, I may just need to steal that sign from you because it is GORGEOUS! I seriously need more bookish stuff in my life… I think this is the main reason I decided that banning Etsy from life was for the best but I’m kind of regretting that decision now.
I discovered this completely by accident but apparently The Sun is Also a Star is on sale for $1.99 too (kindle version)!

I LOVE ALL OF YOUR HARRY POTTER THINGS! That quote for the bedroom is so perrfect and that clothing set is even better. Omg I love it so much!
Kimberly at The Windy Pages says
ebooks are hard for me sometimes because I have so many physical books i want to get through (and get rid of.) That said, I find it so much easier to read in bed with my kindle than a hardcover!
The best/worst thing about ebooks is how cheap they can be and sometimes I find myself buying a whole mess of them at once! I really need to obviously curb this habit, as it’s not the ebook’s fault, and more my own problem with immediate gratification. 🙂
Hold your baby. It’s okay> I have a 2 year old now. Enjoy this time. The dishwasher will get emptied eventually.
Bryony says
Sounds like you’re so busy! I love reading ebooks while we are travelling – so much more practical!

I am currently having flashbacks to having a baby with the addition of our new pup. Except when I have a mile-long to-do list, my pup doesn’t cuddle. Usually, he’s too busy trying to bite everything in sight and play with everything he can see. I live for puppy naps these days!
Thanks for the link for your niece’s cookie sale! I want to share the love with cookies this year. I love that I can buy from people I know and support them rather than a stranger locally. And Thin Mints delivered to my house? SO, so dangerous!
Terra Heck says
Oh my goodness, those two baby outfits are beyond adorable! I’m still an old-fashioned gal when it comes to books….I want them in physical form.
