Happy Easter weekend!  We've had a pretty busy week around here, playing the Easter Bunny, dying eggs, and trying to complete everything on our to-do list before this baby arrives!

Now it's onto enjoying a low key weekend together, celebrating all that this season has to offer.  I hope that whatever your plans may be over the next few days, that you all are too!

Here's the list of what I'm swooning over at the moment...

1.  We whipped up a batch of these no-bake monster cookie bites this past week, and I promised after I shared a photo of them on Instagram, that I would share the recipe here!

2.  I'm in love with this adorable free printable Spring Bucket List.

3.  One of my sweet and talented mama friends makes the most adorable dresses for little girls... I'm swooning over every one!

4.  This not-so-healthy, but super tasty recipe is always on my Easter dinner menu!

5.  Spring makes me think of white shoes, so naturally Ella and I needed matching mommy and mini pairs of these.

6.  I can't get enough of these new granola bars that we found at Target!

7.  I'm kind of excited that this trend is back, and hoping that my post baby bod can slip into a pair of these.

8.  I adore this lavender/pink shade of nail polish for this season?

9.  Swoon... white eyelet perfection!

10.  I am obsessed with this budget friendly line of candles, and this scent is seriously heaven!

Enjoy your weekend!

Happy weekend, friends.  This past week seems to have flown by and dragged all at the same time.  My oldest was on break from school, and the earlier part of the week was beyond freezing and a little snowy, so needless to say, we spent a lot of time at home in our pj's.

It finally warmed up a bit toward the end of the week, so we managed to sneak out to Target and Trader Joe's to stock up on some of our favorite things/scope out spring collections.

It's hard not to have spring on my mind at the moment, while inching closer and closer to my due date with baby number three, but we're trying our best to take things one day at a time around here.

Here's what I'm swooning over lately...

1.  I swear if I didn't have to work, and didn't have children or a house to take care of, I could watch Fixer Upper all day and night. I love this list of farmhouse finds from Target. They just scream Fixer Upper style.

2.  I've confessed my love for the Nose Frida several times on this blog, but have you guys seen their newest product?  Genius!

3.  I know a certain sprinkles obsessed little boy (and his mom), who would think this is a pretty amazing idea.

4.  With Easter being at the end of March this year, I'm thinking it may be time to decorate for spring pretty soon.  Looking for some inspiration?  This was one of my favorite DIY projects to date!

5.  Dying over how cute these little ballet flats are!

6.  I'll be making these this weekend... I like to add a little bit of shredded chicken to mine!

7.  These old school letter boards have been popping up all over my Instagram feed, and I kind of love them.

8.  I'm a total sucker for a drug store beauty buy... some things are worth splurging on, and others not so much.  My latest inexpensive obsession is this stuff.

9.  I was totally swooning over this gorgeous spring garland last year, and never got my hands on one... so happy to see they brought it back again this spring!

10.  Finding cute dresses that you can also nurse in, has always been a struggle for me... I adore this one, and it pulls double duty as both a maternity dress and a nursing dress, post pregnancy!

Have an amazing weekend!

That's right, another photo of cake...

We celebrated my husband's birthday the other day, so naturally, we had to bake him something, and funfetti always wins around here.

We had originally planned on a little road trip this weekend, but decided to postpone it in lieu of the fact that there are actually some fun weekend activities going on around here, and of course there's that little thing called the Superbowl happening Sunday night.  

If I'm being honest, I don't particularly care about the game at all this year, but I do care about the food... and of course, Beyonce.

So, what am I swooning over this week?  Allow me to break it down for you...

1.  Every single time Target pairs up with Oh Joy, it makes it on my Swoon Worthy list, and this time is no exception.  This new home decor line hits stores this weekend (I already found it in my Target), and as always, it's amazing!

2.  I'm such a sucker for a handmade Valentine, and this book is chalk full of great projects that share the love!

3.  I've totally hopped on the bandwagon lately when it comes to using essential oils in our home... Then I stumbled upon this awesome and super affordable line!

4.  This new collection is totally giving me flashbacks to my childhood!

5.  I haven't decided yet if I'm motivated enough to take on a baking project like this, but these cookies are the cutest!

6.  I sure do love anything with a monogram or initial on it.  This little trinket dish would make for a great gift.

7.  I honestly have no menu plans yet for the Superbowl, but this list is full of some great ideas.

8.  Totally fell in love with this jacket the other day while shopping with my kids... I wonder if I could rock it with the bump?

9.  Craving this for breakfast this weekend!

10.  I dream of the day when I can wear normal clothes again... currently swooning over this sweater.

Hoping you all have the most amazing weekend!

I'm not sure how it's already the last weekend of January, but for a woman in her third trimester of pregnancy, I am ready to welcome February with open arms.

It's been a rough and crazy last couple of weeks for me, so I'm thrilled that Saturday is finally here and I can pawn some of the parental duties off on my husband, and hopefully kick my feet up and relax a little.

As always, this week's list of items that I am swooning over, is a random mix of "stuff"... recipes, good reads,  and fun fashion finds.

Here we go...

1.  I've been starting to feel like I'm in a bit of a dinner recipe rut lately...this little pasta dish might be just the thing to pull me out!

2.  I am dying to get Ella into dancing classes.  Tiny ballerinas top my list of cutest things ever... in the meantime, this dress... I die!

3.  My favorite pajama/lounge pants are now available in stripes.  Most comfortable pants ever!!!

4.  Seeing as my biggest pregnancy craving right now is anything topped with sprinkles (hence the funfetti cake you see pictured above), these are on my must-make-for-Valentine's-Day-list!

5.  If you don't already know, I swoon hard over faux fur throws!

6.  I am currently off of my Netflix binge, and back on my read-all-the-books kick.  This one is my latest read!

7.  I'm trying to restrain myself from buying one of everything for my kids from this awesome shop!

8.  In need of a good dip recipe your Superbowl party?  This one is a goody.

9.  I will always adore a cardigan that pairs well with anything and is long enough to cover my backside if I choose to wear it with leggings,

10.  When I'm not carrying my massive suitcase/favorite tote, I love a good crossbody bag.  I'm currently crushing on this one!

Have a great weekend!

This time of year always seems so strange to me.  All of my favorite stores are releasing their spring collections, and everything is pastel, and floral, and bright. Yet it's totally freezing outside, and most of us are currently buried in snow.

The optimist in me is choosing to feel hopeful.  Hopeful that the season that brings warmer weather, green grass, and tulips will be here before we know it.

In the mean time, I plan to park myself in front of a warm fire this weekend, while blogging about some of my favorite spring-y items. Here's what I'm swooning over this week.

1.  If you are looking for some great last minute ideas for Super Bowl snacks, this list has you covered.

2.  Seeing as it is definitely still winter, and likely it will be for awhile, I love the look of a flushed pink cheek.  This gel is my fave (I use the flushed color).

3.  The pouf obsession continues.

4.  These brownies are such a simple and fun idea for a Valentine's Day treat.

5.  Speaking of hearts, this rug is seriously the cutest.

6.  I'm thinking Max is going to need these kicks this spring.

7.  So, I already told you guys how much I loved The Husband's Secret and Big Little Lies, but clearly I can't get enough of Liane Moriarty's work because I'm currently reading this book by her, and it is so, so good.

8.  I would like a pair of these studs in every color, but I'm totally partial to the tortoise ones.

9.  Adding this to my list of "items I MUST purchase for Ella".

10.  This candle might just smell good enough to eat.

Hope you're all enjoying your weekend! Stay warm friends!

Halloween Style

'Tis the season... Halloween is just around the corner, and while I've already been preparing for the sky high blood sugar that comes along with candy corn overindulgence, as well as honing in on my jack-o-lantern carving skills, I'm always a sucker for anything holiday themed and cute for my kiddos.

Here are some of the items I've been eyeing lately (some may or may not have already been purchased in addition to some pretty stinkin' cute costumes!)...

five | six | seven | eight
