- I want to finish losing the 8-10 pounds I have remaining of baby weight and get back into working out like I did pre-baby. It was all coming off so fast and then the holidays came and everything seemed to stop in that area.(I swear by Jillian and have been diving into kettle bells with this one)
- I am going back to school to become an elementary school teacher. This is something that I have always wanted to do and after having my son, I realized that I really want to have a career that inspires me and makes me want to go to work every day. (cutest backpack ever here)
- I want to learn more about photography. I love looking at and taking pictures and always have. I have this camera and I use it regularly, but I know I’m not even close to using it for it’s full potential.
- Cherish every moment I have with my son. I find myself saying ” I can’t wait til he can walk or talk, etc” , but I need to not wish away the adorable infant stage he is in now and remain focused on just enjoying every single thing because it really does go by way too quickly. I honestly can see why some women have 10 kids. Not saying I am one of those, but you know what I mean.

I definitely wouldn’t mind any of these showing up in my stocking this year!!
- Pinwheel Hairpins, It’s Beaded Bliss Etsy Shop-I’ve been loving on hairpins lately and I’m loving on these turquoise ones.
- Ped Egg, Amazon-I’ve always wanted to try this thing!!
- Japanese Decoration Tape, Uncommon Goods-I think this would be super cute to have when you wrap something in just brown kraft paper.
- Leather Keyring, Exposures-I need a new key ring and what better than to carry around a pic of the kiddo.
- OPI Cuticle Oil to Go, Amazon-I always leave cuticle oil in my car so I can do a mini mani at a stop light. This would make things super easy.
- Round Pill Box, Target-I need a pill box to keep vitamins and tylenol in my purse.
- Shea Butter Lip Balm Stick, L ‘Occitane-my all time favorite lip balm.
- Oxo Good Grips Travel Mug, Amazon-the most amazing travel mug ever. Never leaks, ever. My husband generally fight over who uses this mug because we only have one.

I have not stopped coveting every single one of the items in this shop since I laid eyes on it. I’d like to make an addition to my wishlist, stat. I am currently working on talking my husband into #1. It’s totally metro-y, right?
Holiday Gift Guides: Infants
December 15, 2010 by
Those wee little ones can sometimes be the hardest to buy for. I mean, they don’t play with toys and they don’t show much interest in anything besides sleeping, eating and pooping. But it is their first Christmas and by all means we need to have some presents under our tree for the little tyke. Here are some great ideas for the newbies.
- Babies R Us, Mute Button– Every mommy and daddy needs a mute button every now and then and even if they are not a fan of the paci it is sure to get a good laugh.
- Etsy, My First Christmas Onesie– Doesn’t every baby need a My First Christmas outfit?? I think so.
- Etsy, Personalized Growth Chart– This is perfect for mommy and daddy to start to track the baby’s growth and since it can be used for a number of years to come.. it’s the gift that keeps on giving!
- Target, Sleep Sack– Every kiddo is going to wiggle their way out of a swaddle at some point and that point is now in my house. These wearable blankets or sleep sacks are sure to keep the baby toasty in the wintery months. It’s a snuggie for the bambinos!
- Etsy, That’s How I Roll Onesie– You can never go wrong with the humorous onesie for a baby gift, this is one of my personal favs
Holiday Gift Guides: Co-Workers
December 14, 2010 by
I’m always at a loss for what to get my co-workers. I mean, you usually see these people more than you see your own family, so you want them to know you care, but you don’t want to break the bank. I mean, even if you don’t like your co-workers you might consider a little something…hey…a little Holiday sucking up never hurt anyone!

- Bath & Body Works, Bamboo Candle

Christmas Wishlist: Der Edition
December 13, 2010 by
It’s that time again! Christmas is sneaking up on us and we tipsy gals have been pretty damn good this year if I don’t say so myself. When I sent my letter to Santa, here is what was on it:
- Amazon, Modern Family Season 1– I can’t sing this show’s praises enough and I totally want to own this so I can re-watch it over and over.
- Nordstrom, Michael Kors Chronograph Watch– I haven’t owned an actual watch of value since I couldn’t tell you when. And I know there are much more pricey pieces available, but since I’ve been out of the game for a some time… I’ll start off easy.
- Express, Essential Stretch Military Shirt– I am a HUGE fan of the military trend and the stretch in this top would allow room for the ladies if ya know what I mean.
- Etsy, Finger Print Necklace– I would love to preserve and wear my new little man’s finger print around my neck daily. It’s such a unique keepsake that I would cherish forever.
- Amazon, Hobo International Metallic Lauren Wallet – I adore my hobo lauren wallet that I have, but it honestly has seen better days. I really like the metallic version for my upgrade.
- Amazon, Raspberry Converse– Since the purchase of my very first pair of converse, I am wanting to own every color of the rainbow and these are the perfect shade of pink.
- Kohls, Deni Digital Stainless Steel Steamer– Steamed veggies are where it’s at in my book, so I think this is right up my alley.
- Timi and Leslie, Baby Jane Bag– I LOVE my current diaper bag so much, but a gal can never have too many bags, right? I love the sleekness of this bag and I would totally rock this with or without my baby.
- Gap, Plaid Flannel Pajamas– I have always wanted a classic set of jammies to kick it in during the winter months.
- Amazon, Bare Escentuals Starter Kit– I have always wanted to give this stuff a go. I have never used any type of mineral make-up before, but those infomercials sure do sell me.

Get Your Felt On
November 12, 2010 by
I see these felted necklaces all over Etsy and I LOVE LOVE LOVE them and think they would be perfect for fall/winter. But what I wonder is, are they itchy? Anyone have one of these types of necklaces? Are they comfortable or annoying? Anyone? Anyone?
