R is for Random: "A Second a Day from Birth"

I need a video camera stat
This video inspired me.
Minus the fact that it was submitted by a Dad....
how incredibly sweet is that?!

from here.

I got teary eyed watching this 
(like a million times)
and it's not even my kid. 
I'm so doing this come Tripp's 1 year birthday. 
(and maybe every year of his life after that. don't judge me.)

It captures the good, the bad, and the most beautiful moments of that first year perfectly. 

Hope y'all are having a good week!

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.

R is for Random: Some Pinterest Favs

Happy Tuesday everyone! 
Little T has come down with some sort of cold this week. 
It's a deep cough, runny nose, can't stand to be put down kind of situation.
Poor sweet thing. 

Mr. C is currently feeding him a bottle...
which helps makes this post possible.

I got to thinking about Pinterest...
where I keep track of all the things I'll never actually get around to doing. 
(does anyone else feel overwhelmed by it at times?!)
Yes! Hahaha!
| story of my life |

Anyways, thought I'd share some treasures I've pinned as of lately.
That have really come in handy...

T is for Truth: Got Milk?

You know how I've been thinking about stopping breast feeding ("BF") cold turkey right?
Welp, I happened upon this little gem of an article recently
and after reading it, has since made me have a change of heart. 
So I'll just go sit in the corner with my little violin, shame, and continue to BF...

There are many reasons as to why a woman cannot breast feed:
her body doesn't produce enough milk, child has a hard time latching on, it's painful, medication/illness, etc. 
I've come to find though that there are woman, many women in fact, who are so dedicated 
to giving their little ones breast milk that they decide to pump exclusively

I, by no means, would put myself in the "extreme pumping" category;
I pump at work and occasionally at home to keep up my supply but don't pump 24/7. 
That's a whole different cup of tea...or milk I should say. 

The BEST article on how to pump for your baby written by a gal who pumped exclusively for her baby for 14 months!! This was really helpful and funny to read.
from here

I found this article and thought I'd share it with you all. 
I won't even attempt to top or take credit for this lady's legit post. Major high five to her.
She literally covers it all and then some...
everything from diet, to the best pumping products, cleaning/storage, and her little survival tips and tricks. 

(It's kinda long so Pin now and read it later!)

Hopefully someone reading this will find it helpful! 
You never know if this will be someone you know...or perhaps even yourself one day.

P is for Pregnancy: Pagers Are BACK!

I may have discovered the jackpot.
(maybe a little too late for me, but good for you pregnant peeps)
Have y'all heard of this website?


Here's how it works- 
You're rushing to the hospital because you're in labor. 
You don't have time to call the 50 million friends and family in your phone to give them status updates because your getting checked in, fighting through a contraction, or listening to your husband snore...

SO therefore, you sign up for this little free service that keeps everyone in the loop. 
You (or let's be real, your partner) calls one number, records a personalized message or text 
and PreggoPager sends it instantly to your address book. 

It's practically genius.
(why didn't I think of this?!)

I realize it's a little impersonal, at first. 
But let's be honest, we are all too attached to our technology these days.
Put the phones/ipads/crap aside people and enjoy the moment
There will be plenty of time to catch up with everyone in person or over the phone later.  

Y'all better put me in your address book!

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,


and here.

Happy Monday!

R is for Random: Citrus Lane

Ok get ready for it...
because this is pretty cool:

Citrus Lane

It's pretty much the Birchbox for mommies and babies.
Maybe Baby C will be sweet and I'll have to treat him me to this!
(and if you don't know what Birchbox is, then I have some serious 'splaining to do!)

You basically sign up for a monthly subscription (as low as $21/month for 6 months)
and receive a cute little box full of the "so hot right now" baby/tot products.
I google image searched "citrus lane" and here's some examples of people's boxes:

So cute right?!
I think this would make a unique shower gift for my gf's who are preggo too!
And besides, who doesn't love getting a little package on their doorstep every once in a while?!

D is for Design: "Shower" Hostess Gift

This past weekend I had one of my first baby showers
and boy oh boy! was it INCREDIBLE!
My best friends really out did themselves...
They could rule the party planning world if they wanted! 
(details soon!)

In honor of my BFF's: 
LCC, NLB, MD, MJ, LVK, NBH, JG, CB

I wanted to give them each something super special,
something they could keep for always as a sweet reminder of my appreciation;
especially since they made my shower so memorable for me and Baby C.
Here's what I came up with:
{monogrammed "shower" needlepoint ornaments}

I had the ornaments custom made and am thrilled with how they turned out!
Also, I believe how you wrap the gift is just as important as what's inside,
and besides, I'm practically OCD when it comes to color coordinating so I took extra care into the details;
such as those cute little handmade mustache paper bows. (Tutorial here)
