My Outfit: Top // Skirt // Sandal (my reps have inventory for these shoes if I don't have your size online!)

Trev's Outfit: Tee // Denim // Shoes

Aniston's Bow: HERE

We've had such a great week! My sister and brother in law are in town from the Caribbean, her husband is going to medical school there and we've missed them so so much! I didn't realize too how much help I've needed! It was so nice having some extra hands around. With our shop growing and basically starting a whole new business life is crazy! We're moving into a warehouse on monday and Trev and I are going to shed tears of joy all day haha. It will be so nice! We are going to miss our amazing employees though! They have been with us since the beginning so it's bitter sweet to see them moving to the warehouse too but it will be a good thing.

Also Trev always get's questions about where he finds his denim because the fit is so well.. He either buys a wash he likes and has his tailor Gloria take them in, (or I try to sew them..) or he shops in the girls section.. He'll probably be mad at me for telling that to everyone but secrets don't make good bloggers:)

Baby Essentials

Hey guys! I'm sharing/reviewing some of my favorite baby items that were must haves since Aniston's been born. Hope this helps you mommas and soon to be mommas :)

 

asdfasdf

  -Stroller : HERE The stroller and car seat were the two things that I was willing to drop some cash on :) I knew I wanted something nice and the top of the line and they were items I was going to use daily. I did a ton of research before getting this stroller and I have so happy with it! Trev calls it the Mercedes of strollers haha. I love that you can use it from when they are newborns up until toddlers. It also has a built in shade that we've used so many times already. And my carseat clips into it!   -Carseat : HERE I love that I feel like Aniston is safe and comfortable with this car seat. Like our stroller it has a built in shade cover that we use all the time, it just zips in and out and is super convenient. Another one of my favorite things, I mentioned it above but I love that our stroller is compatible with this car seat. I had no idea how much that would come in handy but it does! If you do anything make sure your car seat has a stroller you can use together!!   -Diaper Bag : HERE I knew before I was married let alone had Aniston that I would own this diaper bag when I had babies haha. I just love how clean and classy it is! I feel stylish carrying it around. I have it in the stone color and a few of my friends asked if it gets dirty... It still looks perfectly new! I haven't had an issue with the stone color looking dirty. I like it for the season and I'll probably get the black when fall and winter comes.   -Nursing Pads : HERE Okay everyone! These are heaven sent! First favorite thing is that you only need to buy one pair and you are set, you just reuse them! Second favorite thing, you don't have to wear a bra when you sleep!!! I can't sleep in a bra and so these were so great that they stayed on without one. Third, they are silicone so when you leak it's not like the other ones that soaks things up and gets your bras and clothes all wet. They are a little pricey but you only need one pair and trust me they are worth every penny!   -Baby Seat : HERE  seat swayer,(HERE) This has been so great for during the day when Aniston is sleeping or we need to put her down. We move this thing all over the house with us :) We go the seat swayer with it and have loved that option too that it can rock her to sleep.   -Nursing Cover : HERE These covers really are the greatest. I love that I can feed anywhere and love that I don't need to worry about it falling off. Also I bought one from a different company at first and it was so big that it didn't serve it's purpose.. This one was perfect!   -Baby Wrap : HERE This is a special special item to me.. this is probably my hormones talking but I want to write the owner of this company and tell her thank you for making this product. I love that I could keep Aniston close to me at all times and be with her while I worked. The first few weeks I felt like I was abandoning her by setting her down and it just gave me comfort to have her close. It allowed me to hold her and have my hands free while I got stuff done around the house. Not to get even more weird but I love that Aniston could be close to my heart. Babies are so use to being close to their mom's and for the first few weeks especially I felt like this helped us bond. I use this all the time now though.   -Baby Bath :  HERE I love this bath tub because one it's simple and white.. haha everything else I found was this chunky pink tub or wouldn't fit in a sink. This one really fits in any sink and I love that we can bring it with us on our travels.

Yoga Pants // Tank (Similar) // Sports Bra

***More of my favorite Yoga Leggings right now are below this post!

I did yoga this morning while Aniston napped and it was so relaxing and felt so good to stretch! My muscles are so sore from working out last week so yoga was the perfect thing this morning before my workout. I just youtube some yoga poses and stretches and make up kinda my own thing.. haha. I really have no idea what I'm doing when I do yoga but I like to act like it.

Just an Aniston update!! :) She is smiling so much and trying to talk!  Trev and I just die over it. We are the super annoying parents that get super close to her face and do baby talk for 30 mins straight haha. I love her more and more everyday. I don't know if any of your babies did this for you mommas that are reading but Aniston didn't go to the bathroom for awhile... like bathroom bathroom.. tmi but I was super excited on Saturday when she finally went after 6 days. I'll spare you the details but lets just say she made up for not going all week and it made for a very funny experience!! Trev was lucky he got out of helping with that one. It was like a five man job, after I felt like someone needed to give me a gold star sticker.

Anyways! The weekend was too short! Trev, Aniston and I are hanging out inside today away from the rain and wrapping some things up for the Shop Stevie pop ups this week! There are 3 of them!! Holy Moly! We're getting excited. Hope you are all enjoying your Monday and being productive :)

Okay guys! Summer is coming and I've gotten the okay to workout now that it's been past 6 weeks since Aniston was born! It's time for me stop making excuses and start working out again. I'm the biggest sweets person you'll ever meet.. Just to give you an idea, on Sunday Trev's mom made cookies and I brought cookies to our kids that we teach at church, all together I had 5 cookies and that was me holding back (and maybe some ice cream). I'm the worst. And I'm breastfeeding so I'm even more the worst!! I like working out because it helps me eat healthier. When I work out daily subconsciously I thinking about my health more and I'm a bit better at restraining from going over board with the treats. I was at target last night and the chunky monkey ice cream was looking dang good but I didn't do it! It really is so important to take care of your body and so much of that is what you eat! Working out just 15 minutes a day gives me more energy.

I'm starting back at the BBG workouts which I'm really excited about.  I started when I was 7 months pregnant and lasted a few weeks but I was just getting so big that with the baby bump it was too much. I'm excited to start it back up and feel healthy again.
