Updated Six Month Favorites



It's been two and a half years since I last had a six month old and while so much has changed, I've found that I still love a lot of my go-to items from when I had Ethan {see Ethan's 6 Month Favorites here}.  The jumperoo, high chair and sleep sack are amongst some of those tried and true items.

A couple new items that stand out are the mini muslin blankets--Wyatt loves snuggling with them at night and I don't have to worry {as much!} about him smothering himself with it.  I am also loving the MAM pacifiers and the Shea Moisture baby shampoo {smells SO good!}.

What are some of your favorite items?  Let me know in the comments below!

My Weekend // SLO Wedding


First, you might notice things look a little bit different around here!  I hope that this new blog design helps you navigate my site a bit better...and if you have any suggestions, don't hesitate to let me know!

This past weekend, we celebrated our friend's wedding in our college town, San Luis Obispo.  We spent three nights and four days with some of our best friends for what turned out to be a pretty amazing college reunion.  And to top it off, we were kid free, which was pretty amazing and crazy all at the same time.  I'm fairly certain we haven't been away from Ethan that long and I definitely hadn't been away from Wyatt that long.  Luckily, they got to spend the weekend with family, so we knew they were in good hands.  It was a weekend full of friends, food and lots of memories...


No road trip is complete without an In-N-Out stop!


Once we arrived, we hit up the Thursday night Farmer's Market and went to Novo for some amazing rosé and apps on their back deck.


Later, we went to Batch for their amazing, homemade ice cream sandwiches.


The next morning, we grabbed coffee at my favorite little spot, Scout...


Isn't it darling?



Then it was time to hit up a couple wineries before the wedding festivities began.  I swear I went to college here, but I had NO idea there were amazing wineries around the corner.  I'm told they weren't really establishes 10+ years ago, but wow!


Here we are wine tasting at Edna Valley Vineyards...so good!


 Mer and I at the rehearsal dinner.


All the boys lined up...isn't the setting gorgeous?

A delicious latte from Sally Loo's...


 And one of the most scrumptious breakfasts I've ever had!

We had the best time celebrating and getting together.  Congrats to Omar and Meghan!!

Ethan's Turning Three // Pool Birthday Party!


Welp, almost a month later, I'm finally sharing Ethan's birthday party pictures.  His whole party came together at the last minute, and I'm afraid it shows!  But we still had a blast and that's what counts at the end of the day, right?!  So here are some snaps from the day...

Ethan's invitations were from Minted...the best!






Beach balls and streamers pretty much made up the theme...and...


Lots of pools!!  And the cutest three year old t-shirt!


Ethan loved having everyone sing happy birthday...and can you please notice my homemade cake?  It was a disaster, but I made it work!



We ultimately opted for ice cream sandwiches for the kids.  And can you please check out my threenager?!





All in all, it was a great day!  Next year though...I think we'll just go to the beach and call it a day!  ;)
