I have an addiction...

5/22/2013

Admitting you have a problem is the first step to getting help, right? I've become obsessed with buying Juliette headbands and bows. It's bad. I could spend all day looking on Etsy for headbands. Some days I do. Today Juliette decided (yes, she's very independent already) to try a bunch on and model them for her Mommy. This girl has no idea what she's getting in to! Here's her stash...

In case you have the urge to shop for Juliette's Christmas gifts early (don't laugh...I'm already almost done with my Christmas shopping. That's another problem I have.) here are some of my favorite Etsy Shops. Just click on the names to view their beautiness...

Charlie Cocos: She makes hair clips...sooo cute!
Giddy Up & Grow: My all-time favorite! I want to buy EVERY one.
Ruby & Sue
Georgia & Jane
Jameson Monroe
Little Bitty Blossom
The Pink Ruffle

Here's some that I think she needs. Josh may beg to differ, but let's be honest...his opinion doesn't always count.

By the way...she is ready for the fall. She's got her Kentucky & Louisville headwear ready to go!

(I did warn you that I had a problem)

I was reminiscing today about some of my favorite things from growing up. It'll be interesting to see what things Juliette likes as she grows up These are some of my favorites...

The Baby-Sitters Club. How I loved thee. I still have the entire collection at Grams house. We'll have to see if we can get Juliette to read them!

Mr. Sketch. I literally still have THREE boxes of them in my desk at work. I'm still addicted. And now they have new colors! My all-time favorite was the Blueberry marker, followed closely by the Cherry. I think I need to be buried with a box.

Trolls. I had lots of Trolls. I'm not exactly sure what I did with them. But I sure did love them.

Barbie Dream Pool. OMG. I cannot imagine my childhood without it. I think I played with the Barbie Dream Pool just about every day. Man I wish I could find one to get Juliette now...the exact same model (yes, it would be more for me than her. She'd learn to love it.).

Blueberry Ice Cream at King's Island. Had to have it EVERY time we went to King's Island. Next time we go, I'm getting me some.

Dinosaurs. Great show. My dad LOVED this show. It makes me happy to think about him watching it.

Care Bear Cloud Car. This thing was great. It "wobbled" like it was really trying to be a cloud when you drove it. So cool.

Ecto Cooler. We drank a lot of this stuff. It was GOOOOOOD!

Pogo Ball. I spent many hours in the driveway on this thing. They need to come up with an adult version. Could be a really fun way to lose weight!

Love's Baby Soft. Yeah, I wore it.

Hypercolor. I had a few shirts. This one I found on-line just doesn't seem right.

L.A. Gear High Tops. Wow. They are really ugly, but back then I thought I was so cool.

Ice Capades Barbie. I loved every Barbie.

McDonald's "Drive Through". I think the 'rents bought this for my little brother. I know I played with it probably more than he did. It was awesome!

So many great toys from the 80's and 90's! I could go on and on!

Next up...Josh's Childhood Favorites (he doesn't know that he's my next blog post...he will when he reads this!).

The best thing we ever spent $50 on (and other Newborn favs!)

Getting Juliette to sleep at night has been our on-going goal since she was born. For a while she really had her days & nights mixed up. About a month ago, I was a bit frustrated and went looking for a solution. I ended up at Target where I found "The Napper." "The Napper" was a god-send! We found our miracle! It was the best $50 I have ever spent! Since getting "The Napper," Juliette sleeps for anywhere from 4-8 hours at a time! If you know of anyone with a newborn, get them this for a gift! They will love you forever!

Some of our other favorite things...

1. Nuk Pacifiers: These are great in conjunction with "The Napper!"
2. aden + anais Burp Cloths: LOVE this brand and these burp cloths!
3. Fisher-Price Swing 'n Seat - Forest Fun: She could spend all day in this thing if we let her!
4. My Taggies Soccer Ball: She just stares at it at the moment, but she loves it. She WILL play soccer...and like it.
5. Gap Heart Ruffle One-Piece Swim Suit: It may not fit her yet, but she will be so cute in it!
6. Old Navy Romper: Too cute for words.
7. Gap Printed Tie Headband: ADORABLE!
8. Lansinoh Affinity Double Electric Breast Pump: We got ours basically for free thanks to the Affordable Health Care Act, but it really is a great pump at a great price!
9. Medela Easy Expressions Black Bustier: Two-words...Hands Free!
