1. I’ve had trouble sleeping for awhile now ever since I was pregnant with Millie. Yes, my body has got used to less sleep but I’m always looking for new ways to relax and sleep more! I was recently gifted this beautiful diffuser plus tranquility and peaceful slumber diffuser blends from Saje Wellness and I’m really loving them. I know so many friends and family members that use diffusers so not sure why it’s taken me so long to use one! It’s been relaxing to have on at night and I can honestly say that with my mind more at ease my sleep has improved. Yay! I call that a big win for this week.
Friday Favorites – Wellness + Home features a yummy and easy pear app recipe, our living room rug that we love and more!
The Perfect Pear
2. If you love pears then you need to try this delicious app! It’s one of our favorites and such a good match of sweet and savory ingredients.
For three other must try recipes, see my post from last week here.
Millie’s First Bee Day
3. Millie turned one on Tuesday and it was such a special, most unforgettable, day celebrating her! When planning the theme I immediately knew we had to have a bee day party after her middle name! ‘Honey garden vibes’ was our goal and it was so fun bringing these visions to life yesterday. It was a sweet mini celebration! To all of our surprise Millie barely even touched the smash cake and wanted no more than a few handfuls. My vision was to do something special in honor of my grandma Bee. She played an extraordinary role in raising me into the women I am today. She’s given me strength, determination, my shopping addiction and my listening ear. All traits that I hope Millie shares with her mama!
I’ll be sharing a full blog post will all bee day details very soon. In the mean time, here are three of my top favorite finds from her special day.
- Millie’s dress from the cutest Etsy shop (same dress linked below just in a different color)
- Cake topper
- Bee bitelets pan used to bake birthday treats (I filled with banana bread)
Living Room Jute Rug
4. I highlighted this rug this week on Instagram but I wanted to share more! This jute rug has really brought the entire living room together. It’s a handcrafted, all-natural, thick rug that for us has been super durable in this high-traffic area. It’s soft enough for Millie to crawl and easy to vacuum.
The rug comes in four colors, we have the gray, and is currently 30% off. If you live local to a store Pottery Barn offers complimentary curb side pick-up which makes it easy to not have to stress about shipping a large item!
Table Runner Roundup
5. Sharing our table runners plus a few more, most are on sale! We love having ours in the center of our table to set drinks and food on to help prevent messes or water marks. Basically makes it more kid and guest friendly… which we can all appreciate!
Ergo
6. This is the baby carrier we have for Millie and she LOVES it! We have used this since she was around three months old and now even at a year she fits perfectly with room for growth. We love that it’s lightweight, versatile and provides four convenient carry positions while everyone cool and comfortable. Plus, Mark and I can both wear it and it’s super easy to adjust. We have been using this daily for walks and she squeals with excitement whenever we get it out.
