S is for Stuff: lulufrost Code Rings

Happy Hump Day y'all!

This video has been cracking me up lately! 

Also, in other news...

I'm obsessed with these rings. 

(and I'm totally on board with rocking one of these turbans too!)

{from here and here}

I'm hoping they will find their way onto my hand one day! 

(SOON....please and thank you!)

And if you're wondering, I'd get 2 numbers "2"'s 

to signify little T's birthday day: 1/22/13.

S is for Stuff: Birth Announcements

We opted out of sending our annual New Years cards this year

since we knew we would be sending out Birth Announcements.

I've been saving up some ideas for inspiration

and I can't wait to get ours done and in the mail!

Here's some that caught my eye:
(Etsy does it again!)

from here
(classic.sweet.and letterpressed...yes, please)

from here

from here
(would dress this up with a colorful envelope and patterned liner)

from here

from here

and this one is just plain cool...

reminds me of my childhood pop up books!

from here

We would do all ours in BOY colors of course! 

Still in the hunt...

Here's hoping we get our out by the time he's in high school!

*wink wink*

S is for Stuff: New School Baby Gift

 Some sweet friends of ours recently

welcomed their first baby boy. 

He is totally adorable 

and is super lucky to have such cool parents!

We wanted to do something special for them as a gift,

but not break the bank...

With so many friends having babies lately,

it's been my goal to find unique heirloom presents. 

 That's where etsy comes in...

Old school cross stitch please meet new school mustache-coolness!

Let's be honest, the mustache theme has been overdone a bit, 

but for some reason this was just too cute to pass up. 

Thought this would be cute hanging in his room. 

I do love me a good monogram!

S is for Stuff: To Work Out or Not to Work Out?

That is the question...
That's why I'm using my blog to procrastinate!

I've been searching for the perfect work out routine
since giving birth and I think I've found it.
(Well, here's hoping!)
I've read a ton of reviews on this dvd...



Not that Gwyneth's or Shakira's personal trainer needs any justification...
safe to say looking at their bods, this Tracy lady knows what she's doin'!
I pray that I make it through at least the first 15 minutes
without finding myself back in the sweets pantry and planted on the couch!

Will keep y'all up to date on the progress!

S is for Stuff: Push Gift

Ok ladies, 

by now I feel like we've all heard of this new phenomenon

regarding the infamous "push gift". 

You know, the gift some women get after "pushing" out a baby. 

(cue Mr. C's eye roll now)

I must say, now after having gone through labor myself, 

(they don't call it "labor" for nothin')

I'm kinda jumping on the "push gift" band wagon.
(but let's not get it twisted...obviously the baby is the best gift of all!)

So if I were to be so lucky, I would be happy to receive any of these:

mom ring

monogram initial necklace

envelope locket

mama diamond rose gold ring

custom baby thumb print necklace

Snuggling with my real gift, Baby Tripp-

S is for Stuff: Baby Teethers

I think this whole "having a baby" thing is 

going to be bad for my wallet.
Not only because baby's are expensive of course, 

but because this "up all night" thing can lead to some serious online shopping. 

{or "surfing" rather...don't fret Mr. C!}

Bad for me. Good for you. 

I've found some cool "stuff" that I hope to share with you weekly. 

Whether you have a baby or not, 

these can be some neat gifts for friends or something to bookmark for later. 

Aren't these just the neatest (and prettiest) teethers?!

from here,

here,

and here.

Happy Monday!

XOXO- LC
