When we first moved into our new house I was excited to decorate the office, and make it feel like my own space. I’m hoping to expand my office in the future so I’ll probably need to start looking at Commercial Office Cleaning Services in London. I’m already making such a mess in here!! Somewhere between being excited to decorate, and actually doing it I lost my momentum. Then again it also might have something to do with trying to get everything done before my son was born!! Since ‘Back to School’ season is in full swing I’ve seen some of the cutest office decor!! My friend said there were some adorable plants at websites similar to phsgreenleaf.co.uk maybe I should consider adding some of their lovely pieces to my office? So I’m taking a swing at this project again. Thankfully before I lost my momentum I found a desk I love, made a trip to IKEA, and The Container Store to add some cute storage to my side of the office. I’m teaming up with The Container Store to give my readers a 15% discount code with TCSLOVE through August 29th!! I’m sharing some of my inspiration for what I envision adding decor, and organization wise to make my office feel like the best version of me. I’m in love with all of these gorgeous prints, and gold accents. Of course there’s more to a good office than decor. You also need to consider filling it with supplies that will keep you productive like paper, stationary and ink cartridges etc. It might seem obvious but when you’ve paid so much attention to the decor, it’s easy to forget about the small things. You can find a supply of products for your office from officemonster.co.uk. I can’t wait to share more of my office/work space after this project is done!!
Baby Gear For The Beginning
Choosing just the right baby gear was so important to me. There is so much out there, and we tried so much!! This is a very edited down list of the things that worked for my family especially in the first few months we were home. These are the items that made life a little easier with our little man when we brought him home. I loved researching and shopping for all the goodies and there are some great guides (similar to this BFM guide) out there for those who are looking for your little ones. If you have any extra questions please message me.
1.This baby tub was a perfect fit for us because I like hot showers. I know that’s an odd random fact, but I was worried I wouldn’t be a good judge of the water temperature for that reason. So this really helped me feel a lot more confident especially at the beginning.
2.At first I wasn’t going to include the Mamaroo bouncer because my little guy only liked it for 2 weeks. I thought I should share it since those first two weeks were really great when he did enjoy it. Every baby is different so this might be a hit for another family.
3.I tried out a lot of strollers at Buy Buy Baby, and the Uppa Baby Vista won hands down!!! I was the pregnant lady walking around their store testing out their strollers. I might have looked a little crazy, but I wanted to make sure I was making the right choice. I love that it can expand to fit two babies, or toddlers tandem style. Oh and it gets better!! They have lots of different attachments for this stroller too which is great because it can grow with us!! By the way I forgot to include my carseat pick when I made this!!! I’m blaming mommy brain. We were deciding between the Nuna Pipa carseat, and the Uppa Baby Mesa. We loved both of them, and it really came down to which one was available since both carseats were hard to get at the time Manny jr. was due. Thankfully the Uppa Baby Mesa was available to buy about a month before our little man was due!!!
4.This bassinet was definitely a splurge item for my family, but I couldn’t resist!!! It could roll wherever I was, and had the prettiest baby bedding. We picked the same bedding that is pictured above. I had a c-section, and I’m really grateful that this bassinet wasn’t too high or low. It was the perfect fit. My son has graduated to his crib, and he seems to really love it.
5.We loved the infant insert for the Momaroo!!! It was so soft, and colorful. He loved looking at all the colors. This is a must if you buy any of the Mamaroo bouncers.
6. Don’t forget to treat yourself. The one thing that helped me out when I had my baby, was sleep. You make the most of every minute you get to close your eyes and rest. I cannot recommend enough buying yourself a good quality king mattress. You will find you have plenty of space in an evening whilst feeding to still relax.
Fall Essentials Part 2
1.Light tunics are great fall weather and perfect for layering. I want one of these in every color pretty please!!
2.Rain Boots…Need I say I more!!! These are on my wish list in all the colors of the rainbow!! These are on my radar for Thanksgiving sales!!
3.Pencil skirts are my weakness especially in the fall!! I love that this one has a little animal print detail, but has the black detail on the sides.
4.Plaid shirts are another one of my weaknesses. I think I have a few of them. I add at least one or two each season!!
5.Comfy sweater…need I say more!! These are my favorites. Add some boots, a top, and I have an outfit!! Hooray!!
6/7. Blazers are my new favorite way to pull outfits together!! I love this green blazer and this black one is perfect too!!!
8.Tall boots are something I am going to try again. I’m keeping my fingers crossed these will work for me!! What fall boots are you completely in love with?
Thanks for stopping by!!! Hope y’all are having a great week!!
