Life Lately + Random #Momlife Ramblings


We are on week 2 of staying with my parents before we close on our new home in Columbus mid March. We are somewhat on a regular routine now, except Bennett has been waking up in the middle of the night whining and rolling around. Most likely cause is teething. Oh teething... How I loathe you! I remember this phase with Camden and he did the same thing. 

It's also been difficult to sleep because I'm currently sleeping in the same room as Bennett and he is somewhat of a noisy sleeper. Typically, I would just keep the monitor on by my beside at our house and wouldn't hear every little movement or whimper, but he is literally right at the end of my bed. Unfortunately, I'm a pretty light sleeper naturally so I'm up a lot with him. But, once I'm up and had my coffee in the morning, I'm ready to go! Thank goodness for coffee!!

Other than that, my parents have been so great about trying to make us feel comfortable. And my mom has been helping out so much with the boys! I'm going to miss the live in child care when we have to leave! 😭


Camden has been saying 'I wanna go home' every now and then which breaks my heart a little. Other than that, he's been sleeping great and we've kept his normal routine. We took him to Chuck E. Cheese this past weekend which was an experience... I'm glad we can check that milestone off our list! It was just really loud and so crowded with people. The games were a bit too old for him, but there was a little toddler/baby area with little rides and a slide that he loved. He also was so infatuated with Chuck E. Cheese the mouse when he would come out from behind the curtain and talk and sing! 


I also took Camden with me to a playdate with some of my college friends over the weekend. I am so happy to be back in my home town with friends that also have kids around Camden and Bennett's age. It was so fun to see the kids play together and it was so nice to have girl time and catch up with everyone. I definitely think it is so important to have that circle of friends, especially when you are a mom, just to vent/chat/relate with! I don't know what I would do without them!

Well, that's all the random #Momlife ramblings I have for now!

Hope you all have a great Monday!

Friday 5 (all on SALE!)


We made it to Friday! Hooray!

We are finally settling into our new little routine at my parents' house. Although this (not so) little dude has been teething so bad and waking up in the middle of the night whining in pain! One of his bottom teeth finally popped out, but he's still working on the one next to it. So, mommy has been drinking all the caffeine she can find...

Anyhoo, here are my top 5 favorite finds from this week, all of which are on sale!!

1. I found my black Nike 'Juvenate' sneakers on sale for less than $60 (also comes in great colors for spring)!

2. My favorite scoop neck long sleeve tee is on sale for $10.80 - 40% off

3. These tassel earrings are on sale for 50% off and are currently waiting to be purchased in my nordstrom shopping cart.

4. This anorak jacket is currently 40% off and is just like the one I have from Target that I've been wearing lately.

5. This grey version of my favorite faux leather tote is currently 33% off! Such a great everyday bag!


The boys have been enjoying the warmer weather this week and actually got to play outside! Camden has been saying almost everyday 'I wanna go oussssiiiide!' in the cutest voice! He just loves it and it makes me so excited for spring time!

Unfortunately, I think it's supposed to get cold again this weekend. So, we've made plans to visit COSI (Columbus kids science museum) and have a few play dates scheduled with some friends I haven't seen in a while. So happy to be back in our home town with family and friends!

I hope you all have a great weekend and happy shopping! :) 

Favorite Trendy Tops for Spring

Sorry for being a bit MIA on the blog, but we've had quite the whirlwind over the past week! We officially moved out of our house in IL and have most of our belongings in storage for the next month while we stay with my parents before we move into our new home in Columbus. We had our inspection yesterday and it went pretty well! Just crossing our fingers everything goes smoothly between now and closing day! 

So, I will be living out of a suitcase for the next 3 weeks and on somewhat of a shopping freeze until we move in, but I can't help lusting over a few (ok... 18!) tops I'm loving for spring. My 2 favorite trends right now are the cold shoulder/off the shoulder tops and the ruffles and bell sleeved tops! And you may notice a bit of a color trend for spring as well (give me all the blush/peach/pink, grey and navy/black!). The best part, these tops are each under $50!



Which ones are your favorites?
Do you have any cold shoulder or ruffle tops for spring?
