Fun Finds

I apologize for the lack of posts lately. We were in Tennessee for Christmas, arrived home Monday and left for Crystal Lake on Tuesday because the hardwood floors in our kitchen are getting repaired and refinished...step two in the mini face lift our kitchen is getting (step 1 occurred almost a year ago with the building of the banquette). More on both of those later!

Anyway, yesterday I ran to Target to pick up some groceries and diapers. Every time I am there I walk past the infant and toddler section, which is bad news because I notoriously end up with a few items that we really don't need, but are just too cute to pass up. This time was no different! Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted some really cute pink and blue striped dresses. I had to go check them out, after all, I do have 2 nieces! After rushing to the rack, I notice the tag says Splendid Littles for Target. Oooh, I love Splendid for me and have found their kids line absolutely adorable, albeit quite pricey. I was thrilled to find that they are now making cute clothes for infant and toddler boys and girls for Target. I might have picked up a few things...shhh, don't tell Matt!

I just checked online and it looks like the Splendid Littles line is available through the Target website. A few of my favorite pieces are below, but you can see the full line here.
The newborn set for a baby girl...isn't the ruffle to die for?
Some baby girl might be getting this for Christmas!
A new outfit for Henry this spring...I love the Kelly green/navy combo!
I love the gray and red too!
The next cute find is something for all us mama's out there who are constantly pulling our hair back into those generic rubber bands or wearing them on our wrist! I can't remember which blog I was perusing when I stumbled upon these adorable rubber bands, but I know I immediately went to visit the Emi-Jay website and added them to my Christmas list!
Thanks to my wonderful mother-in-law, I am now sporting these beauties in my hair or on my wrist! So far, I am loving these more than stylish hair ties. My only beef is that they are not quite as "tight" as a regular hair tie, but the cuteness factor overrides that small imperfection.

So, if you know a fellow lady who is constantly wearing hair ties on her wrist, leaving annoying dents, or just want a fun gift for a friend, definitely check out the Emi-Jay website. Such a perfect little accessory. Oh, and a portion of their profits are donated to various charities.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to our beloved family and friends!

We are in Tennessee enjoying a white Christmas! All the babies are napping after a present filled morning. Santa was good; we feel so blessed for all that we have been given. Nothing like a beautiful day with our amazing family! Hope everyone is enjoying this day as much as we are!

Hmmm...

Ethan walked into the kitchen today, carrying Henry. Enough said!
