A Light Tunic

I've got another lovely lightweight top for you -

 It comes in white as well. It's a great canvas for some awesome jewelry and looks like it would be perfect on a warm day. I love the shape, great for the early days of a pregnancy (or afterwards) to hide the bump.

DVF for babygap!

Do you have a little girl? Do any of your friends?  That's what I thought. Now get yourself to a Gap asap. The DVF collection for girls came out yesterday and it is ADORABLE!

Would it be cute or a little weird if I wear one of my DVF wraps and put Allegra in this one - I vote cute for a mommy/baby wrap dress day, they won't be the same print, right????

And what about these -

so so so cute, and so many more things - leggings, swimsuits, ack!

Seeing Red (in a top that is)

need a little color in your life after a long gray winter? Yeah, me too.

Loose but not overwhelming, this is a great top for everyone, especially those of us who *might* still have a little baby belly...

Wear it with skinnies, capris, even shorts and according to the reviews, it doesn't require a tank underneath, great for cool or really warm days!

Nursing friendly casual dress

We seem to be approaching some semblance of Spring, hooray! I'm happily looking at all the cute clothes for warmer weather, with perhaps a bit of a focus on nursing friendly pieces...and look what I found  -

Super cute cotton dress by LA Made,  it's under $100, and on Piperlime so if you have a Gap Corp card you can get 10% off on Tuesdays - order this baby today :) And while you're there, check out all the picks they have listed under the Girl on a Budget section, they have some cute pieces listed.

My Magical Sleek Soda Making Machine (Sodastream)

What, you may ask, is that? That is a new style of Sodastream called The Source, and it is awesome. Let me tell you a story - One day I was saying to my husband, "Husband, I think we need a sodastream. I'm hugely pregnant, craving seltzer, but do not want to lug bottles home with me from the store, nor do I want to create the waste of all the empty bottles." Or it was something to that affect anyway.  Magically an email appeared in my inbox offering me one of these sleek new machines to try out for the blog. YES. But then before I could try it out, a little thing happened to me - I had a baby. Bad timing for my review. Or maybe not, because now I've had the Sodastream Source for a couple of months, and we've had time to really put it work and it is indeed AWESOME.
First, it does look sleek, so it's ok that is sits in our living room (we have a tiny city-dweller kitchen so we can't keep it in there).  Second, It fun to watch someone use it. My kids are enthralled with it. My 2 year old watches with delight and screams with joy as we push down the front part, it lights up and makes a noise as it carbonates. My daughter, while only a couple of months old now, still likes the light.
And most importantly, it makes great seltzer whenever we want it. Which is alot these days. as I'm setting the table, hey - let's make some seltzer.  It doesn't matter that I haven't gone to the grocery store! The kit includes one bottle and many flavors. So far I've tried the root beer (loved it), the cranberry-raspberry (loved it), diet grapefruit (liked it, we just aren't so into diet pop), and the flavor essences (makes a lightly flavored seltzer rather than actual pop - we LOVE these).
My only issue with the set is that we need more bottles, guess I'll head out to Target or Bed, Bath and Beyond for those! by the way, those are stores that carry this magical machine, as does Amazon of course (they have almost everything, right?).

Stop me!

So....I need to be stopped from looking at baby girl clothes. Gap has another sale for card members, 30% off everything with code USHOL30, and I can't help filling my cart.

How cute are these legging cords-

If they were maternity I'd buy them for myself right now, instead I'm contemplating getting them for our peanut that hasn't even arrived yet.

And this adorable footie -

It's so cute! I love the dots and the pink scalloped edge, and the zipper - easy entry and access for a newborn who might not like fussy clothes or might need frequent FAST diaper changes.


And don't get me started on the Nordstrom half yearly sale that started yesterday. Lots of cute baby and kid stuff.

Mama wants a brand new bag

A diaper bag, that is.

The 7 A.M Enfant Large Voyage bag.
It's big, has tons of compartments, even a diaper clutch kind of thing you can take instead of the bigger bag. It goes with the rest of their line which I love, I don't have the stroller blanket, but when Nate was tiny I brought him to Chicago in the winter and got him the booties and mittens from Gilt and they are so cute. I just pulled them out for the girl, it's going to be cold here after all...

Anyway, back to the bag, did I mention it looks big? I'm going to be carrying out diapers and other stuff for 2 kids, I need room. Snacks for Nate, maybe a bottle for the new baby, especially if Greg might take both kids out. Man, that sounds like so much prep, maybe we'll just stay inside for the first few months...although the bag will hopefully make it easier to go out.
