1. I got this polka dot shirt last weekend and love it. Someday I'll remember to take off my hair tie on my wrist before I take a picture.
2. This weekend I thought it would be a good idea to check out Goodwill to see if they had any maternity clothes. But no such luck. This was the kind of clothing I found.
Maternity short overalls. Just to make sure there isn't any confusion I didn't buy them.
One of you thrifting masters needs to take me with you.
3. I made my first craft for my baby last weekend. A chevron stuffed animal elephant. And I love it.
(I followed
this tutorial.)
4. I made these
chocolate chip cookie cheesecake bars last night and they were SO good. I told myself I wouldn't eat any sweets today but I don't know what I was thinking with these sitting in my fridge.
5. I have some sponsor spots open for February and would love to help grow your blog or shop! You can take 20% of any ad size for the next week! Check out more details here and email me at katiejvale@yahoo.com
Hope you have a great weekend!
Oh my goodness the elephant is adorable...and I'm sure you could have made even those overalls look cute. Hah!

Oh Katie those overalls are you!!! :) you could probably come up with a cute outfit.
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with that elephant!!! I love that it's chevron!!
What do you mean you didn't buy those overalls?! LOL
ReplyDeleteI love that elephant so much. So stinken cute! Have a good weekend.
Just keep checking at Goodwill since they get new stuff all the time. Also check second hand places that are specifically for babies/kids. They have maternity a lot of the time. What size are you? I can see if I have anything that might work if you'd like.
ReplyDeleteThe elephant is so adorable!
That's what I find when I go to Goodwill. I have no luck thrifting!
ReplyDeleteThat elephant is perfection! I love it so much!
And that chocolate chip cheesecake bars! Get in my belly!!
Those overalls were quite the find :) My best friend has found some cute maternity stuff at the baby resale stores in town. She never thought to look there before she had a kid. You might try that!
ReplyDeleteOh, you TOTALLY should have gotten those shortalls! :) I already told you on Instagram, but I will tell you again. That elephant is so adorable! And I really want to eat all of those bars! YUM!
ReplyDeleteOMG those shortalls, are amazing! Please buy them!!!

ReplyDeleteThat elephant is cute!

That's so the kind of maternity clothes I could imagine coming across at goodwill. Maternity styles have come a long, long way since, say, my Mom was pregnant with me and my little siblings. (I remember her wearing a ginormous bright blue maternity jumpsuit.) Maybe you can make friends with recently pregnant people for the express purpose of borrowing their clothes. That's what I plan to do! :P
ReplyDeleteThat elephant is so cute. Baby is lucky to have you for a mommy!
ReplyDeleteThose maternity overalls.....wow!!!!
Target actually has some really great maternity clothes!
gimme those cheesecake bars!!! i could not resist!
ReplyDeleteYou look so cute in your polka dot top, I love the color on you. And I LOVE the elephant you made, so cute! Baby Vale is going to love it!

ReplyDeleteand looks like you scored the perfect maternity outfit at goodwill!!!!! lol hope you find much more!

ReplyDeleteoh that elephant is just too cute!!
ReplyDeleteI love the polka dot shirt! And the chevron elephant! It's so perfect!!!
ReplyDeleteLove that polka dot top on you! And those overalls are pretty awesome :D
ReplyDeleteAs if overalls aren't hot enough- they made them shorter...I just cannot even stand it. Maybe you could grab them and send them for my next pregnancy?
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous, as always!
Your polka dot top is so cute! Those overalls are pretty awful. My Goodwill is really hit or miss. And the elephant is adorable for the baby.

When I saw that chevron elephant on IG I died a little bit. So adorable...just like you, little Momma!
ReplyDeleteOh my word, that elephant is adorable! I'm due with my 2nd son at the end of March, and we're doing an elephant theme. Was it easy?
ReplyDeleteLove that elephant! Thanks for sharing the tutorial!! Can't wait to try it!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!!
Hi Katie. Just catching up on your blog. Love your new design. So stinking cute! Chelsea?
ReplyDeleteA new reader commented on a post of mine this week and told me about your blog (it was about my struggle with infertility) and i'm glad she did! Congratulations on your amazing blessing!
ReplyDeleteOh and girl, are those overalls bedazzled? H-O-T! I can just see the maternity photo shoot now! (jokes!)
Oh my goodness, that little elephant is TOO cute! And I love that it is chevron too! Absolutely precious!
ReplyDeleteAlso, those maternity short-overalls... wooooow! Ha!
Just found you through Aubrey Kinch's designs! LOVE IT. And Congrats on the baby on the way! Looking forward to following along!

Umm, I want that cheesecake bar right now.
ReplyDeleteI love the polka dot top too. That's an adorable elephant... I love the chevron print you used too. Can't believe you made it! It's so cute!
ReplyDeleteI dare you to go back to Goodwill, buy those overalls, and style them! I'd LOVE to see that!
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if you have like a Ross I guess its similar to Marshall's or something like that.
But Burlington Coat Factory (does not just sell coats) has maternity things too!
I have had less than ideal luck finding maternity clothes at goodwill too. There's a massive second hand charity that happens twice/year in the civic center here and they BARELY had anything- although I was able to find a couple items. Someone else suggested Craigs list to me and I searched but again it didn't really give me any great leads or results.
ReplyDeleteIt really does make you wonder what in the world do people do with their maternity clothes when they're finished having babies? There needs to be some good swap options or SOMETHING...
you totally should have bought those ovearlls! ;) haha jk you look great in your top!
