Bath Products I'm Loving Right Now


First of all, I am loving the fact that my daughter has her own bathroom now. I still like to keep things tidy, but I don't have to try to squeeze all of her stuff, and our stuff into a tiny shower.

So what am I loving for her new bathroom?

We Moved Down South, Y'all

I know I've been MIA lately- the past four months have been crazy. Starting the morning after my husband's birthday (September 9th), we embarked on a road trip to Raleigh, NC to check out the area as a potential new hometown. We spent four days driving all around to many, many neighborhoods and houses. Thinking this was just a preliminary trip, we checked out a few houses, and of course fell in love with one. . Long story short, we now live in that house! In between then and now we renovated a bathroom, lived in several hotels, took a week long trip to Florida, staged our condo, sold our condo, packed our condo, and moved into our new home. 
The house we purchased was created the same year I was - 1981. It was recently renovated so it looks like it's new- which is great most of the time, but it could use a little bit of charm. I was on Pinterest all morning creating this board: Old House Charm

So your busy toddler kept you from actually doing any Christmas shopping? Or maybe you forgot about someone until the last minute. No worries!
Here's my recommendations for 7 amazing last-minute (thank you Amazon Prime!) Christmas gifts! All items are IN STOCK and available for FREE TWO-DAY shipping. 
  1. TILE. Perfect for that person who constantly loses their keys. Or purse. Or diaper bag. Just get one for everyone, aren't we all looking for "something"?
  2. SONY DSLR Camera. great starter camera for someone who wants to get serious about picture taking. Or you just want to stop shelling out a couple hundred bucks for professional pictures of your precious baby.
  3. PACKIT Freezer Bag (multiple colors and patterns). Great for a pumping mom. Or any mom. Or dad. Or anyone who likes to go on picnics!
  4. Duck & Goose It's Time for Christmas Board Book. All kids needs a copy of this. Seriously.
  5. BOSE SoundLink Bluetooth Speaker (multiple colors). Your husband needs this NOW. Great sound. Small speaker. Easy to use!
  6. JJ Cole Outdoor Blanket (multiple colors). It folds into its own little briefcase and couldn't be better for days in the park, or keeping your infant away from nasty floor germs (know someone staying in a hotel during the holidays?)
  7. A Woman's War. Don't know what to get grandpa or grandma? This beautiful photography book captures life during WWII. It's sure to be a hit with anyone born prior to 1960. 

Hope you all have an easy, stress-free Christmas. Don't forget, Amazon can wrap your gifts, too!
Because isn't $3.95 worth your sanity on Christmas Eve? YES.
