So really I am team Edward all the way, but because my son shares a name with a Twilight star I have to jump on the Jacob train. Well when I found this cute little snap clip I had to get it! Of course I was not going to wear it and obviously not for Jacob…who better to be a fan of Jacob then AMELIA! She is going to like him some day. Well once she becomes comfortable with him slobbering all over her toys. Anyway, she looks adorable in it. I wish I had a picture, but here is the clip. You can get your own and others at www.chicababyrose.etsy.com for only $4.95. For all of you Edward fans they do have one for you too! Enjoy!

I am sure most of you have seen this picture a trillion times, but I realized I never blogged about where I got his outfit! I found this adorable shop www.LittleStarShop.etsy.com and just fell in love with the tuxedo onesie. I thought it would be perfect for my little man’s 1 year birthday pictures and it was!! Plus the price…$9.00. Total steal and check out the adorable pictures we have of our little man. The shop owner liked the pictures as well and asked to use Jacob’s pictures for her shop. Of course I said YES! How could I not. OH and I forgot to mention the pictures were taken by Krista Roder www.kristaroderphotography.com Enjoy!

Well its Jacob’s 2nd Easter but really his 1st Easter that he will be participating in the easter egg hunt! Well of course I had to find him something to collect all of the eggs in, so I turned to etsy. Check out this adorable little bucket! I ordered this customized with his name rather then the Happy Easter. Its very light weight so it will be easy for him to carry around, and the added bonus…it was only $9.00!

So I have really been loving cuff’s this year. Probably a lot behind on the times, but give me a break I live in Wisconsin. Well I decided to search etsy for a new cuff and combined the search with one of my favorit things (peacocks) and look at what I found! Isnt she lovely? www.dirtystory.etsy.com This amazing bracelet is $32.00 and the peacock design comes in many other sizes, colors, and prices. LOVE IT!

Alright so this next one is a bit steep for me in price but the quality is just fantastic! So lets get right to it. Its a beautiful hand-thrown porcelain bowl accented with a beautiful pebble inspired slip design. It’s covered inside and out with a food safe, glossy clear glaze, measures approximately 6″W x 2.25″H and holds about 1.5-2 cups. That is the good news…the bad news…its $23.00 and thats the sale price with %35 off. Oh and did I mention thats for 1 bowl? Ok so maybe some of you are thinking its not a bad price. I mean lets think about this. Its hand made, and each and every raised dot is made to order. Seriously this is a lot of time and patience being put into this wonderful bowls! You can check out her other work at www.kimwestad.etsy.com I just LOVE all the different colors! Take a look for yourself, and let me know, Would you pay $23.00 a piece for a bowl?

Oh my gosh I see the dark side and I am walking faster! Look at this fabric GENIUS. I really want to be a dorky coupon clipper. Honestly I am jealous of those annoying women who have a coupon for everything. I want to save money, but it would always go back to, who has the time??? Not me! I dont want to hold people up in line, fumble with my coupons and not to mention taking extra time while shopping. Well look at this gem. www.glowgirl16.etsy.com For only $12.00 you can save money while shopping in a neat and organized manor. This includes the fabric holder, blank file folders and 76 peel and stick headers for you to choose from. You can also buy extra folders and stickers for only $1.50. BRILLIANT. LOVE IT!
