Etsy Needs/Wants/Loves

I have really been wanting to add some artwork to our decor. Right now we have a  couple of pieces but our house is mostly decorated with photos of ourselves.  Here are a few pieces I am liking and might even add to our home!



would love this for Jack's room!

Etsy Love

Here are a few things that have been on my favorites for a while and maybe someday will be in my house!

I would love to have this for Jackson's hippo bathroom, not that he can use it at the moment so maybe we will wait till his first birthday

I would love to get these and send them to some pretty awesome people in WI

No special reason for this, just love it!!

The Man loves Star Wars and really hopes that Jackson has that same love for Star Wars...I have actually only ever seen 1 of the movies and that was earlier this year. Don't worry it is on my  goals for the year to watch the rest of the movies :)

How cute are these!!

If I had somewhere for this to go it would be in our house already!

Ikea Needs Wants

Today Jackson and I took an impromptu trip to Ikea for some wooden spice racks that we paint and use as bookshelves in his room.  They have been out of stock for quite some time now so when I saw online that they had 86 available I wasn't willing to risk waiting till later this week to go. I ended up buying 8 of them...I don't think we are going to put them all up right now but this way we hopefully won't run into the same situation with us in need of more and Ikea out of stock for months!  I didn't get anything there but I did spot a lot of things that I would love to have in my home for Jackson. I'm hoping that by posting them on here I will remember them for his 1st birthday and maybe a couple them will actually end up in our house :)






So there were a few more things that I liked but I figured you already got the picture. I love wooden toys for Jackson and Ikea now has a few nice ones. A couple of the things might be a little more on the girl side but maybe someday we will have another baby and be blessed to have a little girl.

Online Window Shopping

Instead of folding the 4 loads of laundry that are in my bedroom I am choosing to utilize my very valuable time to online window shop...don't judge!

Here are a few things that I have found that might need to make their way to our home.


The Man is a big starwars fan. I think he would love to read this book to Jackson.
Side Note: I originally found this on Modcloth but had to get the image from Amazon and come to find out it his way cheaper on Amazon...might have to buy it sooner than later!

I have wanted reusable ice cubes for some time now and these are kind of fun from Modcloth!

Loving this sweater at H&M...I could wear it with dress pants for work or jeans for a night out!

Newest Addiction!!!

I think I might have a new addiction to H&M!  Yep the store pretty much makes me happy when I walk into it.  In the last two trips I have been there I have purchased way more things than I planned on but I absolutely LOVE everything I have purchased. It also doesn't help that the store is less than 5 miles away from my house!!

Here are a few of the things that have become mine in the last couple of weeks :) Ok so they don't have most of the things I purchased online so you only get to see one of the items I made mine!

These tanks might be my new favorite type of tank!  I have this exact one plus a few others just in different colors & patterns!!  side note: online it says they are $7.95 but in the store it was $5.95


Besides a few of these super comfy tanks, I found super cute jeans with suspenders for Jackson I am still debating going back and getting a larger size because they are so frickin cute!! And today I actually bought a romper for myself....I have wanted one for awhile but everyone I tried on I felt looked awkward on me....today I tried this one on and I was liking it and then the huge smile I got from Jackson confirmed that it should come home with us :)

Etsy Loves & Wants

Since the little man is asleep I was able to do a little online shopping :)  I just had to share the new hat that I just ordered for Jackson to hopefully wear this fall the kid has a big head so who knows! There are also a few other things that I am debating ordering.

I can't wait to get this and see how cute he is going to look in it!!!


I think this shirt would be perfect for almost any Halopka event...It might be the next thing ordered!



This will most likely be ordered once the little man starts teething...we will always have a love for WI!!

36 Weeks!

Now that we have internet and a little down time from getting use to our new place I can fill everyone in on some details.

Lets just get down to the details!

The Scoop:

Weeks Pregnant ~ 36 weeks, day 3 according to my doctor back in Fresno; 35 weeks, day 6 according to my due date....so needless to say I'm not sure!

Normally I would now put the size of the baby, baby's weight & my weight but honestly I have NO idea what the baby's weight is at and where my weight is at....hopefully I will find that info out soon!

What's New ~ Some how we managed not to have a baby in a random state on our drive across the country...I don't think anyone realizes how excited we were about that!  It seems as we get closer to the big D-day I have been getting more uncomfortable and restless...I am really hoping once we have a real bed and not an air mattress that this will change.  The heartburn is still there and Tums are one of my best friends at the moment.

Purchased Items ~ Now that we are in our new location we have purchased a few more things.  We bought everything for the baby's bathroom. We also bought a rug & a little nightlight/lamp for his room.  And since we can't/aren't having a baby shower my Mom bought all of the baby's bedding for us and the Man's parents bought the baby's crib!!  So we are super lucky and grateful for that!!  I am sure there will be some major purchasing going on as we have only 4 weeks to go and still have lots of things that we need!

packing, packing, and more packing

I am not really sure where time is going...its already the middle of February and we are moving in exactly 2 weeks!!!  HOLY CRAP!  Mentally the Man and I are both already moved but other than that I don't think we are even close.  Call me crazy but I actually really enjoy moving.  It 'forces' me to get rid of things that I never use but have been finding an excuse to keep and it just plain-old changes things up, making old things seem new again.

Most nights we try and pack at least one box or cross off one more thing off of the to-do list...this list is almost 2 notebook pages long, we have a lot of shit to do before we move!!  So tonight was no different we packed up all of our my shoes that will not be needed for the next month.  As you can see from the picture below I might have slight shoe addiction...now I do know a few people that have WAY more shoes that I do, just for the record. Good thing we packed those up after I ordered 2 new pairs of boots from VS...they were 75% off, how could you not buy any!  I really hope I can walk in the one pair, they are 5" heel! And every girl needs a pair of booties :)  I am a little upset because when I went to find those links I see they added a bunch of new boots that I might have bought instead of a different pair.  Don't judge my scatter braininess and how we went from packing to buying boots at VS, it's the baby!

All 3 white bins are full of shoes!

After that was all done we also packed up the diaper bag, which is actually what reminded me to blog...don't ask.  I really understand that most normal people put diapers and things that you need to change a dirty diaper but our diaper bag is filled with clothes, blankets and even 2 bottles.  We figure that if this baby does decide to make his appearance before we get to our new place or before the moving truck gets there we need to be able to keep him warm and feed him.  So we figured we will just buy diapers, wipes and things like that again I don't really even know what other things we will need once the baby arrives or after we get settled into our new place.  Are fingers are crossed that we can repack the diaper bag with all the necessities whatever they may be after we are settled into the new place and before the baby arrives.  

Next to tackle is packing a hospital bag for me...again I have NO clue as to what should go in this bag but it will be packed by the end of the weekend! If anyone has any suggestions provided that people actually read this I am totally open to hear what I should/shouldn't pack.

From Breakdown to Overboard

So a few days ago I might have had a slight emotional breakdown....personally I feel like I did pretty good making it this long before I kind of 'freaked' out about all of the craziness going on.  Here is basically what occurred...

the Man and I just hanging out have a grand ole time, all smiles and laughter.

5-10 min later I am completely upset and frustrated.

the Man asks whats wrong and I proceed to inform him that we will be the WORST PARENTS EVER! because we have absolutely nothing for when this baby arrives.

So being this was the 1st breakdown I have had at least that the Man was home for, to say he was a little shocked at how fast the mood went from happy laughter to almost tears is an understatement.  But I do have to say he handled it pretty well.  After listening to everything I was saying about how we wouldn't be able to take care of our baby because we didn't even own a diaper bag, bottles or more than 3 outfits (that would fit him before 3 months).  He agreed that we might want to change our minds and buy a few more things now so we are not scrambling to get everything ready in the new apartment plus buying everything we will need for the baby 2-3 weeks before the baby is suppose to arrive.  That night we ended up purchasing  over $100 worth of baby things that we will need and then this weekend we went to Babies R Us and got another $200 worth of stuff.  Who knew baby stuff was so expensive!! ok well most of you probably knew that because you have had a baby or two but the Man and I were a tad surprised at how fast everything added up and how little we actually got.

Here are some of the things we got:
-a little jacket
-about 10 different onsies/sleepers/outfits
-a diaper bag
-bottles
-bottle cleaner
-sheets for the pack-n-play
-thermometer
-burp clothes

Now I know we have tons of things we still need to purchase but I at least feel like if this baby decides to come a little early we will have enough things to at least bring our baby home from the hospital. We might have gone a little overboard since our goal was to only buy what we thought we really needed & not too much of anything and we probably didn't need to buy as much clothes as we actually did but its all so cute!!

And now everything is good and I might even go have some ice cream :)

Boredom = Window Shopping

I have realized that when the Man is gone and I am bored, I window shop....mostly online.  Once in awhile I end up actually getting a few things. Here is one of my latest purchases that arrived today in the mail!

Glitter with Glamour Clutch from ModCloth
I love this purchase!  It will be a perfect accessory for a couple dresses I have
