The Peter Rabbit Collection

so... i've been seeing a couple pieces of the peter rabbit collection from baby gap on a few different mommy blogs. thennnn i got an email from gap this morning and just clicked on it. i fell in love. whoopsieeee...

here are only a few favorites! with a baby girl on the way, it's soo hard to contain myself. 


1// 2// 3// 4// 5// 6// 7// 8// 9// 10// 11// 12// 13// 14


in other news, the crib came in today and my sister in law loaned me somethings that her youngest has grown out of until her next pregnancy. i currently have: a carseat, a bouncer, a swing, a co-sleeper, bottle warmer, wipe warmer, and lots of other knick knacks. i've been buying clothes here and there (see yesterdays post). my shower is this saturday and i'm getting sooo excited! hopefully there will only be a few more things needed before my second little princess gets here. cant wait to snuggle both of my girls together.

oh, how pinteresting!

love this link up. and i've been a pinning fool lately, so here we go.

i was seriously thinking about what to do with the space like this in our house the other day and came across this. AMAZING IDEA!! this or a chalkboard wall since the space is between the girls rooms.

making an alphabet book using your own pictures. another great idea.

Summerville, SC and Surrounding Area Friends...

Let's have a talk, shall we?!


There's a secret i've been hiding from you. a pretty amazing one...my mother-in-law is building up her own photography company.. and it's about to get BIG.

She's been a teacher for a very long time, which is amazing in itself, and is wanting her forever-after job/passion/career of photography to start with no interruption.



my family :)



anyone that lives in the charleston, tricounty area needs to contact this gem asap. we are working on her portfolio and her website is under-construction. i will update when that has changed. until then. take a look at her facebook page and here are a few more pictures of my insanely handsome nephews.





we plan on hosting a giveaway in the near future. let's get more "likes" on that facebook page!

SO SUPER EXCITED!



SO!

if you've been on pinterest in the last year, you have probably seen these pictures bouncing around..

well, i follow her blog here and i seriously check it every day for the updates. this girl is so much fun! and super mom, i dont know how she finds the time to do half of the stuff she gets into! i need her energy bottled.

recently, in lieu of all that's been going on in the world, she found a way to give back. not only for one reason, but TWO. if you havent been to Jessica's blog, please do so STAT. you are missing out. plus, she has the most precious daughter and i want to pinch her little cheeks so bad.

she held a giveaway for Little Hip Squeaks (etsy shop) for the most adorable infant christmas tree hat. and i wonnnnn! i cannot wait to get little Scarlett in this hat next year! not to mention, the rest of this store has the cutest stuff. i've already pinned half of the store on my pinterest page.

said hat. how stinkin cute is this!?

hope you all are about ready for christmas. one week left. i have a few things to gather and a ton of baking to do! i'll be back to post on week 28, since i missed this week (not much of an update anyway).

Happy Holidays!

thoughts 'n things...

so this last week i had my 24th bday (dont feel 24! sometimes i really have to think about it when someone asks my age...). my dad and step mom gave me some gift cards for old navy. really liking their stuff right now. i actually bought a shirt and pants there and some of ava's fall wardrobe the last weekend before i inherited the gift cards... this is what i got myself...

makes a cute outfit after a brown belt and tucked in (the breezy blouses are so. stinking. comfy!!). so andy and i are going to the zac brown music festival next month and hopefully i can put together something cute from old navy to wear there. i'm trying to keep an eye out for some cute boots, too. if you see any under $100, send the link my way!!

also, i'm loving all the fall diy projects on pinterest. i think i may have to do a wreath craft this weekend. :)

any cute outfits from old navy you like?
