A jacket, a friend and a giveaway

This jacket was one of those items that I bought ridiculously cheap on clearance and barely wore because I wasn't sure I liked it.  I am excited that I now love it and plan on wearing it all Fall.  

I'm also exited because I get to share with you one of my sister's bests friends.

Jen and Lauren have been friends since college and anyone would be blessed to be friends with them.

 They are the sweet, most loving and loyal friends.  

Today I get to share with you Jen's etsy shop, Jen's Gifts.

Jen makes nursing covers, tag blankets, headbands and hair clips. 

Here's a few of  her nursing covers:

Aren't they adorable?  I think this one is my favorite:

What's even more adorable are Jen's daughters. 

This is Jen's oldest daughter, Annalynn, who has the most compassionate heart already!  

She is organizing a fundraiser for her preschool group to raise money to buy a sheep through Heifer International.   In honor of Annalynn, Jen is currently donating 10% of all her sales to help her raise a sheep! 

Jen is also giving all my readers a 10% discount to her etsy shop.  Just use code forlaurenandlauren  until Oct. 19th.  

And the best news is that Jen is giving away one of her nursing covers to a lucky reader. 

These would be a great gift for a mom to be or new mom!

Trying Something New

  sweater: jcpenny (similar)  leggings: jcpenny

I've mentioned before that I am not good at being adventurous or trying new things. 

This weekend I went to my first yoga class.  

I have always wanted to try it and am proud of myself for doing it!  

My mom and I went together, and I honestly was afraid that I would start laughing during part of it.

Especially if there was any type of chanting. 

Thankfully neither of those things happened.

I actually really enjoyed it and we plan on going again. 

Only negative - there was this loud breathing, bear man across from me and if you know me even the occasional sniffle is annoying. 

So I'm hoping next time I'm surrounded by quiet breathers.  

After, my mom and I walked to Starbucks to get coffee and I have to admit, taking a yoga class and then going out to coffee raised my self cool bar a little higher. 

Admitting that and documenting it in pictures, should probably lower it again. 

Hope your weekend was as adventurous as mine!

If you haven't entered Kerrie's giveaway from last week you should!
