Friday 5

Happy Friday, lovelies! Here are a few things (ok, 5) I'm loving from this week:

1 | This tunic tee - I actually bought this one last winter and I've been wearing it so much recently! It's a very soft tee shirt material and is long enough to wear with leggings (praise emoji!)! I'm thinking about getting it in alllll the colors since it's only $18! (wearing in the photo below)

2 | kate spade leopard iphone case - I got this iphone case a while ago, but I've been loving it! I'm always a sucker for kate spade cases.

3 | Stella & Dot bar necklace - This one I purchased after I had my online trunk show (via @marina04118 on IG). I got our wedding date in roman numerals engraved on it! I sometimes layer it with the gold circle charm necklace I have with Camden and Bennett's initials. Just the perfect everyday jewelry piece!

4 | Sally Hansen miracle gel manicure in Wine Stock - This has been my go to nail color recently! It stays pretty well when you apply this top coat.

5 | Rent the Runway - We have a wedding this weekend in Columbus and instead of buying a new dress I decided to rent this one! It's supposed to arrive today so I hope it works out! I got 2 sizes just in case.

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

Valentine's Day Books for Baby + Toddler

I love giving Camden and Bennett little gifts for the holidays through out the year. One of my favorite gifts to give are holiday inspired books! I love the different holiday books because it gives us something new to read instead of the same ones we have that are on constant rotation. 

Here are some of my favorite options for Valentine's Day books for baby and toddlers:

Of course, Camden loves everything Elmo! So this one is on the top of my list.

I have been reading Camden Llama Llama Nighty Night since he was born, so I'm definitely excited to get him this one!

These flip books are some of our favorites as well, so I know this Valentine's Day version will be a hit!

And how cute is this LOVE book from The Very Hungry Caterpillar series?!

What are some of your favorite Valentine's Day gifts for the kiddos?

Weekend Highlights

Literally, getting highlights was the highlight of the weekend! Actually, there were a lot of great little moments from this past weekend. Besides getting my hair done and running a few errands to the grocery store, we didn't really leave the house. We had no plans for the weekend and sometimes those turn out to be the best ones, am I right? 

My friends and I were chatting (on our What's app chat... love that app!) about how our weekends have changed so much since having kids. A few years ago we would all have Friday or Saturday night plans to go on a date or have a girls night. These days it is a treat if we get a date night or even stay up past 10pm for any reason on the weekends. Is it sad? Actually, I'm enjoying this stage of life a lot. I'm more of a home body, so staying in especially during the winter months appeals to me. 

I'm also loving the quality time with my boys (all 4 of them including Bill and Charlie). Camden wore his pajamas all day yesterday and I decided to let my OCD self sit back and fight the urge to get him dressed for the day. We played with play doh, built towers with blocks and leggos, read books, danced, ran around the house, baked cookies, ate cookies... It was a really fun day! 

Yes, I'm enjoying this stage of life a lot. I wish I would have taken more pictures to share, but I was busy taking mental pictures of all the fun we were having. I did snap chat some of it (@Lindsay Rumple) so there's that ;) 

Even though we didn't do much, I actually accomplished a lot!

-made crock pot broccoli cheese soup AND crock pot lasagna (both from my favorite crock pot recipes post)

-baked chocolate chip cookies (and ate half of them... oops!)

-got my hair highlighted

-went grocery shopping and made a meal plan for the week

-did a few loads of laundry

-decluttered a few rooms and made a pile/bin ready to go to Goodwill

-played with and cuddled my babies... That one is definitely the best highlight of the weekend!

Oh, and it was in the 60s and sunny on Saturday! It felt like spring! I know it was just a tease, but it got me really excited for spring time!

How was your weekend? What were your highlights?
