High 5 for planning

tank top: old navy   sweater: kohls   pants & wedges: target

1. This looks practically identical to an outfit I just posted.  Maroon pants and polka dots.  These may be the only pair of non maternity pants that are still comfortable so I intend to wear them often.  
You can believe that before I knew what we were having I was already busy pinning ideas and planning for our baby girl or boy.  So my next four things are things that I am loving for our baby!
2. After making my elephant stuffed animal and elephant canvas, I just ordered this fabric to make a crib skirt.  Then I may have reached my elephant limit.

3. I love how this closet is organized and love the tree wall decal:

4. I think the idea of turning an ultrasound into a canvas is so neat, and want this light green color in the nursery.

5. And I am also excited for baby showers, which means baby shower invitations.  I recently found the company tiny prints, which has all things baby and kids.  Meaning I will be checking it out for birth announcements too! There are so many cute options, but I think these are two of my favorite invitations: 

elephant invite                                                                              owl invite

Speaking of baby showers, that means registering! Chris and I are planning on starting this weekend and I am a little overwhelmed!  Feel free to tell me your favorite few things that I should register for!
Hope you have a great weekend!!

Well to be honest I feel slightly nervous to post this, as I wonder what would people possibly want to know more about in regards to my life?

But I've enjoyed reading other blogger's question and answer posts, and thought that in case you missed my day in the life post, you might be thinking that my life is really exciting, and filled with lots of unanswered questions.

Like how many times a month I go to Target or how many outfits I try on before deciding what to wear.

So if this is the case, feel free to leave a question in the comments.

If I get more than two questions I will do a post answering them.
And if I don't, maybe I'll just make up some and answer them anyway.

Linking up to: style session

I should be embarrassed . . .

sweater: loft   pants: jcpenny  shoes: target  scarf: gap 

. . . that I am wearing just about every shade of blue possible. 
. . . that I didn't know who was playing in the Super Bowl until I asked someone the day before. 

. . . that I ate a bowl of yogurt and granola four times in one day. 
. . . that I am much happier about the week starting because the Bachelor is on two nights in a row. 

. . . that the pants that I told you about yesterday didn't even button when I bought them. 

Is it only Wednesday?

lace shirt: forever 21   blazer: maurices   pants & shoes: target

I'm having a hard time believing that it is only Wednesday night.  This week is moving by SO slowly.  It could be because it's been days of indoor recess, which makes for some super squirrely and loud kids.  Or because I've been excitedly and a little anxiously awaiting our 16 week dr. appointment this week.  After going to the doctor weekly from week 5 to 10, this whole waiting 4 weeks in between appointments has been rough!

But thankfully, in case you're having a long week too, I have something exciting to help you make it to Friday.  I'm excited to introduce you to a sweet blogger named Fannie, who blogs at Living Life in Pink.  One of my favorite things about her is that she is a ballet teacher for 3 - 5 year olds.  That pretty much tops the list of cutest and sweetest jobs ever.  Plus she's giving away a $25 giftcard to Sephora to one of you lucky ladies!

hello lovely readers of for lauren and lauren!! i'm so excited to be guest posting with you all today (and thanks so much katie for this amazing opportunity--you're the best girlie!).

for me, pink isn't simply a beautiful color....it's a beautiful way of living life....living it happily, lovingly, elegantly, honestly, sassy and silly, open-minded, and with passion; and on my blog i hope to share these simple ways of living with all of my fellow readers! 

along with living life in my definition of "pink", you will also find lots and lots of funny stories, fun and silly pictures, romance, and some yummy recipes (lots of sweets!). so i hope you stop by sometime, i would so love getting to know you and your blog!!

High Five for Friday

jeans: (kohls)   shirt: rue 21 $3 (similar)  wedges: target $8 (similar)

1.  Thanks to a 30% coupon at Kohls I got these pants for $16.  I also managed to find a dress for under $3 and a pair of pajama shorts for under $2.
I love clearance racks! 

2. I plan on making these this weekend:
Baked Mini Apple Donut Holes

3.  I'm so happy I waited to buy these booties because they were only $9 at Target. 

I know I've said before that I'm not a patient person but when it comes to waiting for things to go on clearance I can do that!

4. A few weeks ago a friend brought over these delicious grapes and I finally got to make my own. 

All you do is wash your grapes, roll them in Jello mix and refrigerate them.

I used the flavor melon fusion.  They were SO good!

5. I'm happy September has been moving pretty quickly, as the next three months are my favorite of the year.
As it starts to get closer to October I have spots open for sponsorship.
Check here for more info.
I'd LOVE to have you next month!

Have a great weekend!

Oh and don't forget to enter this week's giveaway for a $15 gift card to Forever 21!
