In this Wonderful Life

Five on Friday!

Happy Friday!!

*Thank you all SO SO much on the sippy cup help! Everyone’s comments give me hope! haha I’ll let you know what we go with, although I think based on the comments we may have several different kinds, which is nice!

Linking up for Five on Friday today!

THE GOOD LIFE BLOG

{One}

Google Reader, which is what quite a few people use to organize the blogs they read, is closing on July first. I’ve started using Bloglovin’ and really like it! I had seen a lot of people talking about it so I checked it out, and honestly, I use it more than I did Reader. So, if you read blogs, Bloglovin is a great way to organize them and open each one up by one. You can save the blogs you read and then your list will update as someone posts something new. Pretty handy! You can type blog names into the search on Bloglovin and here is my direct link, which makes it easy to just hit follow.

I love fabric. I don’t even sew, but I wish I did. If I did, I don’t even know what I would make. I could seriously walk around the fabric store for hours. Have I mentioned that I also have a chair addiction? Whenever I finally finish decorating our home, in like ten years, you will probably notice lots of chairs in the pictures. Anyways, I have several sets of chairs that I’m having reupholstered. I finally selected one fabric and I think it’s fun! This will go on the cushions of the chairs in our breakfast area.

I’ve heard great things about Puddle Jumpers (thank you social media) so I just ordered them for Knox & Sloane! I went with the ones below. Next week, we will be at our cousins pool and I thought it would be a good time to start using them! We are thinking we will maybe do swim lessons in the fall.

This picture melts my heart. It totally reminds me of when they slept in the same crib and would wiggle their way next to each other so that their heads were touching. They were even swaddled and on opposite ends of the bed and still managed! Ah, that two month post makes me tear up. My babies are about to be two!
{Five}
So Instgram got video! If you follow me, you can probably tell I haven’t mastered it, but I do think it’s fun. People that you see, you can now see interaction. I think it’s fun! I forget to hold down the button so that’s why my videos are kind of choppy.

Happy Friday!!

xoxo

  2. At one point, I really thought that the never ending search for a sippy cup that Jackson LIKED and didn't leak would be the death of me!! We probably spent $100 this past year on the hunt for "THE" sippy cup! I'm sure you feel the same! Just in case these weren't already mentioned, I thought I'd share!

    We use these for milk because they are insulated (they are sold at Target for $10 for a 2 pack I think?):
    http://www.amazon.com/Tommee-Tippee-Explora-Truly-Drinking/dp/B00859NQ5Y/ref=sr_1_8?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1372430960&sr=1-8&keywords=tommee+tippee+sippy+cup

    And these for water (they have one less little spout part so they are a tad bit easier than the ones above).

    Neither of them leak! Holla!

    And I think you'll be so happy with the puddle jumpers!! Jackson started using his last year, when he was just a year old, so he was used to it by this summer. He does GREAT. As in feels super confident in it and will jump right in over and over again. Not sure if that's a good thing or not! Ha!

    I love the videos!!! Especially of Sloane dancing – get it, girl!!!!! Haha! Adorable!

    Hope you and your crew have a fabulous weekend…. so glad you linked-up again today!

  3. Oh sister. I am PRESIDENT of Fabric Buyers Anonymous. Come join me. I love the fun fabric you chose for your chairs!! Wish we could walk around fabric stores for hours together.

    We love Puddle Jumpers, the boys never mind having them on and they are great protection!

    Happy Weekend Friend!

  4. Unless you guys do a lot of swimming in the fall or have a pool in your backyard, I would personally save your money and either do swimming lessons right now or wait until next spring/early summer to get them in to lessons. From the time my kids were 1, I did swimming lessons at the beginning of every summer until they were 3-4 years old. They will forget quite a bit. At least that is what the swimming instructor told me. Puddle Jumpers are the BEST!! I mean you obviously still have to keep an eye on your kid(s), but they sure make me feel a lot better.

  5. Loved the Puddle Jumpers!!! I attribute that fact that my daughter has been swimming since she was three years old to her puddle jumper. These allowed her the freedom and the protection she wanted. When we took it off her, she swam completely fine. Hope you enjoy them as much as we did.

  8. I adore fabric too and WISH I could learn how to sew! I'm pretty domesticated other than sewing, which I don't think I'll ever master. SIGH.

  10. Puddle jumpers are the best! K and S will love using them.

    I also love shopping for fabric….with coupons. I got a sewing machine for my birthday last year but I'm still learning how to use it! Slow and steady…right?
