Hop to it, Spring!



March 24, 2020

We are so excited for all things Spring and Easter! As you may have seen from the Easter Basket Gender Reveal blog post, It’s a BOY! We are so happy to announce we are expecting our 2nd IVF miracle baby, this summer! One of my favorite brands, Sweet Honey Clothing gifted us with the most adorable spring goodies to keep the love going!

When I opened the box and saw the Lennon Traveling suitcase I was blown away by all of the beautiful items inside and knew it would make another adorable Easter “basket” to display the kid’s gifted items!

I must say, the Cuddle Bunny Dreamer Long Gown stole the show though! I mean, seriously, look at this cutie!

And how about the matching Dreamer Blanket? So heavenly soft!

They sent a gift to everyone! Sweet Honey Clothing so generously sent me a matching Women’s Gown and it is definitely the softest and most airy tank nightgown I have ever felt. Spring and Easter can be filled with pink and girly-frilly things but they didn’t leave bub out! Baby boy is going to be cuddled and wrapped in the sweetest and softest Periwinkle Cuddle Bunny Minky Blanket.

I just had to add a few other sweet little items for each of the babes to finish off their Easter holiday. These Cuddle + Kind hand-knit dolls are one of our favorites. Their mission to feed children in need is so honorable. We love supporting their cause. Which each purchase of a doll you help feed 10 children in need.

I selected Eloise the elephant for Hendrix and Lucas the Llama for baby boy on the way! Cuddle + Kind’s Peruvian artisans hand-knit the most beautiful and delicate details in each and every doll.

A pair of Sweet Honey Clothing’s Matte Jelly Sandals in Ivory for baby girl and a few pairs of flower sunnies found from Amazon and the basket is complete!

March 19, 2020

Coming up with a creative way to reveal our newest baby’s gender proved challenging for sure! I knew I wanted to create the ultimate Easter basket for our 2-year-old daughter, but I thought, wouldn’t it be cool to create one for our baby on the way in order to reveal the gender?

I couldn’t resist with all these goodies! They were the perfect way to spoil my babes! A little bit of education, lots of fun, and some decor! The baskets were from Homegoods and they can’t be linked. Similar ones here, here and here.

This little nugget is always down for some funny faces and dressing up! She is super excited about her baby bro on the way! We are currently trying to convince her the name “sister” isn’t really going to work out well! “Hi, here’s my baby brother, sister.” Just doesn’t seem right, right? LOL
