Blogmas: Pregnant Lady Wishlist

Activity: Watch a Christmas movie (or turn on ABC family!! haha)

Scripture: Luke 2:15-18

15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”

16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.

My family kept asking me what I wanted for Christmas and my typical response is usually clothing but, this year I really don't want clothes. I either a. have to wait a month or 2 to wear it or b. can only wear it for a month. Neither sounds appealing. So I thought I would come up with this wishlist to help them out, and maybe you if you need to buy for a momma to be or momma, or have a baby shower to attend soon. 

1/ 2/ 3/ 4/ 5/ 6

1. Nursing Tank: I did not have one while I was pregnant with Mackenzie but, I now understand the necessity of one and need one for baby number 2.

2. Scarf (Nursing scarf): This is a go to baby shower gift for me anyways!! Mommas always spill, get spilled on, have a mess or stain that needs to be hidden. It's inevitable, so here comes a scarf to save the day!!

3. Diaper bag sorter: You can either use this or even get her a few stylish bags. Turn any purse into a diaper bag. I think I am going with the bunch of stylish little bags in my purse. 

4. Chatbooks: I just saw these this week and I instantly fell in love. Turn her insta's into a cute book!! At $6 each you can't beat that!!

5. Teething Jewelry: I love that it's stylish and functional! When baby teeths you don't have to worry about what jewelry you are wearing. 

6. Gift Certificate for a massage: This was my "push" present after Mackenzie. I have already requested one for after baby number 2. Nothing felt better!!!

Those are my top 6 requested gifts this holiday season. Anything you would add?

Another reminder to enter to win a free pair of leggings. Just for fun, if you comment on this post one gift you want for Christmas, I will enter you in the drawing, if you have already entered I will add you for another chance to win!!

The Day I Lost the Easter Dress

Okay so you have seen the title and know what happened, I lost Mackenzie's Easter dress. It all started shortly after I found out Old Navy had jellies! Yes, jellie shoes!! I started to think I needed to pull out Mackenzie's Easter dress and find shoes to match, potentially jellies. So, I went to her closet sure that I had washed it and hung it up. Apparently not, this was a Friday! I searched went to work, came home searched some more. Saturday searched again, including obscure places like the office, guest bedroom, the garage. Sunday, searched, Monday searched including towels, plastic bags, our clothes among other ridiculous locations. Tuesday searched more and texted a friend who I had recently gave clothes to, maybe they got put in there, she responded "No". Daily I cried (added I was on my menses, so extra hormonal). Wednesday decided I needed to hand this to God, mind you I had been praying for Him to bring hidden things to light. This time I decided to completely cast it off to Him, I also prayed to take my blinders off. Thursday went on a walk with a friend, came home and cleaned the office which included going through packed boxes prepared for our move end of June. After no luck in the office I decided to go in the guest room and check in my craft stuff again for the millionth time. Suddenly my blinders were off, the dress was in a bag folded in such a way I probably casted it off other times as fabric or ribbon. I cried tears of joy for finally finding this dress!!

My mom found this dress at Custer's craft fair beginning of March. I love it!! Not a traditional Easter dress, this one is bright and fun!! I loved this dress so much I decided to look them up and show you some other cute pieces they have. 

Here is a link to their facebook page Peeper's Children's Clothing.

I was hoping they had some boy stuff but, I didn't see any.

Now I need your help! Please help me pick out shoes and a hair bow to go with Mackenzie's dress!
