Made in the South for Baby

I am so excited about my first Southern Living Blog, The Daily South, post.  Of course, I have baby on the brain so I wrote about one of my favorite baby lines that is made in the South, Pixie Lily.

I think I am going to start a "Pixie Lily Fan Club" and I hope you will join!

Pink Monograms

I'm in such a pink mood lately with the baby girl in the house!  Now that we have a name for her, I have been ordering everything I can think of for her with a personalized touch, including this precious dress from Ragsland.

How pretty is this JuliaB. "P" monogram.  She has the most beautiful things!

I have the hardest time selecting monogram styles.  I like them all!  These are from Leontine

I found this pretty M on etsy.com

I love this scallop edge monogrammed shower curtain from The Pink Monogram.  There are so many colors available!

Of course, I gave my baby girl a name with the same initials that I have.  I hope she will appreciate and use my napkins when she grows up.

News about a baby is always wonderful!  I'm so excited about the announcement of the Royal baby and I love watching the smiling faces of so many people outside of the hospital and Buckingham Palace on the news.  In honor of the little Prince, I have a few of my favorite baby boy products on the blog today.  What are your favorite baby items that you think Kate just needs to have?

I'm Back!

Hi y'all!  Sorry that I have been MIA but I had a baby girl a few weeks ago and I've been a little distracted.

Anyway, I'm going to use the few stolen quiet moments that I have to try to get back on track with the blog!

In honor of my precious little bundle, I thought we could think pink today:

Baby-time Beauty: My five favorites

My maternity beauty routine has had quite the ups and downs this time!  So many of the products that I used pre-pregnancy didn't seem to do the trick anymore so I had to make some changes.  A few of the items below have stayed with me and some others I added in to help with some of me new beauty blunders!

I've been using this wonderful Oxygen Cream from Natura Bisse for years and I just love it.  It is light enough for my oily skin and I use it morning and night.  

I always use Johnson's baby lotion and now I am stocking my bathroom and the nursery! 

My friend, Barbara Arnondin, the author of the amazing Metroplex Baby blog gave me this wonderful oil and love it!  I am on bottle number 2 and I put it everywhere that seems to be "stretching."

I can't get enough of this Natura Bisse hand cream right now.  I bought a fresh tube to keep beside my bed at the hospital when the baby comes!

Sleeping is not coming easily but I love lavender essential oil.  I rub a tiny bit on my temples or put a few drops on a tissue in my pillow and it helps me fall in to a sweet slumber in spite of my discomfort!
