nesting: outside the home edition

the nesting instinct has been coming and going all through this pregnancy. i have had the urge to organize, scrub, de-clutter, and purge. it is great! along with preparing the nest comes gathering all the goodies!

last week, hadley and i took a trip to target to pick up birthing, newborn, and big sister essentials. i had been building my list for (ahem) months! we had a lovely morning strolling around the aisles picking up things like nursing camisoles, swaddling blankets, activity books for hadley, witch hazel, and more!

today was also very productive! although i would love to be running around getting baby goods with the baby daddy, my mom is such a great help... and so patient! We started out the (fall-ish feeling) day with pumpkin spice lattes (thanks for the tip, lindsay!) and headed out to my favorite thrift store. I had good luck as usual, scoring amazing deals on janie and jack, gap, little peanut, and JOES jeans for hadley and ellie. next stop was once upon a child in vacaville- found some adorable teeny pants, the perfect "coming home" outfit, and the EXACT shoes i was planning to buy for hadley- never worn- only $12. i think i have a little too much fun shopping at places like this.

next door at joann's we picked up the perfect pom pom trim for a lamp in ellie's nursery.

down the street at micheals, we picked up frames, and yarn for more baby projects. i feel such a sense of relief to have all these things purchased. now i just have to do a lot of laundry and crafting!
