fun. crazy. life.

I’ve decided to move in with my mom. Not just because I’d have a cook, nanny and housekeeper (Haha! Just kidding, Mom!) But because my kids are sleeping like maniacs. Seriously.
Last night Grace slept almost 12 hours. Grace. 12 hours. Grace, who only sleeps grudgingly when we force her to. She woke up at 9am this morning. And Ellie rolled out of be at 8:30. At home, we consider ourselves incredibly lucky if they sleep until 7. There’s something magic about my mom’s house. We may need to buy it.

Ellie: Mommy, remember when the doctor told us that we were having a baby brother?
Me: Yes.
Ellie: Well, when will the doctor tell you what the baby’s name is?
Me: Actually, Mommy and Daddy get to pick the baby’s name.
Ellie: Really? Wow.
Me: What do you think we should name the baby?
Ellie: Um… Clam.
Me: Oh. Kay…

I’m really done Christmas shopping. I mean it this time. Must. Stop. Shopping. But yesterday I went to the Baby Gap outlet. And they had baby boy clothes! I just can’t help myself! The girls insisted on buying these totally adorable little sneakers for the baby for Christmas. They were only $2 - I couldn’t say no. And I had to buy something that looked like this. For $5. Even though I had already picked up this in blue and tan on the Old Navy clearance rack. I mean, it had a matching hat!!I am only so strong, people.
Somebody stop me! Take away my Gap card - please!!!
*Oh, and by the way, if anyone is looking for a last minute gift idea for moi, I totally want this. Matching pajamas!! For me and my baby boy!! Could you not die?

This week, in honor of refusing the end of summer, I’m giving away this adorable, very bright and cheery Citrus Dots gift set from Eliza Grace Design, which is a little online boutique I’ve begun with gifts for modern babies and mommies. Every piece is handmade and features fun, modern cotton prints - a nice break from the traditional pink and blue baby gifts!
Eliza Grace burp cloths feature coordinating modern cotton prints and are backed with absorbent terry cloth. Burp cloths and bibs both have a layer of cotton batting to make sure they can absorb anything a baby can dish out. Bibs are backed with super-soft minky to be extra comfy.

If you would like to win, please leave a single comment. A valid email address is required, but you do NOT have to have a blog to play. I’m sorry, but I can only mail to addresses in the U.S. and Canada.
Good luck! Comments will close Friday at noon and I will randomly draw a name from my comments on Friday afternoon, August 24!
