Matching Monday

I have been a bit reluctant to dress my girls in matching outfits. It's due to a couple of reasons. One, I am so not organized enough to do that, especially when it's multiple items of clothing that need to coordinate, like top, skirt, and leggings. Two, the girls look cuter in different styles. Addison looks good in more traditional, simple clothing, while Ellie can rock more funky, flowy styles. And then when I think that have found a style that they both could wear, I have had a hard time finding it in both of their sizes. I love the Target baby/toddler section, but I am less than thrilled with most items in the big girls section. Most of it seems too preteen for Ellie. That is until this season. While searching the Target website for a sweater for myself, I ventured into the girls section to check out some new spring stuff  for Addison. While there, I noticed that a lot of the dresses I loved for Addison were also available in Ellie's size. I was so pumped that I had to order a few to see if they would really live up the the hype. They came in and I'm thrilled with the sweet style on both girls. Now that I've dressed them alike a couple of times, I am kind of hooked on coordinating them. I think it should be particularly easy in the summer months when the weather is warm and they can live in sun dresses!!

I have rounded up a couple of my favorite styles for spring and summer. Get them while they are running this hot deal- buy one clothing item, get one 50% off! Some of the dresses are even on sale already.  That's a great way to stock up for all of the littles in your fam!

Circo Long Sleeve -  This long sleeve cotton dress is so sweet with the little white heart print.  I love that it is long sleeve for those chilly spring days.  It comes up to size 6x so its generous enough for Ellie to fit into!  Cotton, simple print. Done!

Happy by Pink Chicken Watermelon dress toddler  and the Happy by Pink Chicken Watermelon big girls dress-  This dress is so adorable.  The print is bright and cheerful.  I think that this will be a favorite of ours in the summer months in PA!

Sleeveless Lace Sun Dress comes in big girl and toddler sizes-  This one has a darling gold zipper down the back.  I want it for myself!  I think that this is going to be a big hitter and will sell out fast.  Don't hesitate on this one!

Clipspot green dress -  This one comes in sizes up to 6x and is plenty big on Ellie due to the cut of the dress.  It is so sweet and lays so nicely on both girls.  The little flutter sleeves are my favorite.

G-Cutee Aline dress pink with white polka dots in toddler  and big girl sizes-  This one doesn't look like much.  I was hesitant to buy it, but it is so simple and sweet.  I love the neckline.  I may even spring for a little monogram for each of them.

Cherokee Watercolor Challis Dress -  Also comes into 6x and as you can see from my photo it fits both of them extremely well.  Definitely a favorite.

Burts Bees Long sleeve cowl neck dress and Burts Bees Ruffle Tier dress-  I love that Target carries the Burts Bees clothing line.  Their cotton is the softest!  These are both going in the shopping bag today for the girls!  Love them both!

If you do not already have it, sign up for the target debit or credit card.  You get an additional 5% off every purchase and free shipping on all orders.  I have the debit card and I love it!  It comes right out of my bank account so it is just easier for me.  Sign up here!

Pregnancy Must-Haves

Baby Bris is not wasting any time growing and keeping time moving right along. I am currently 23 weeks and that means half way done with the pregnancy. I find myself feeling very sentimental about it. I know that this will be our last baby so I'm savoring all of those little kicks and I'm trying my best to embrace my growing self. This changing body means so much more than stretch marks, bigger hips, and boobs. Im growing an actual person! I will never get over the amazement in the way my body is able to achieve this miracle.

To accommodate for the changing size, I have had to purchase a few new items to spruce up the old maternity wardrobe. I am happy that I went for it because it gets mundane wearing the exact same thing over and over again. Here are some of my favorite maternity staples.

These Liz Lange tanks are the best layering pieces.  I had them when I was pregnant with Addie Guth and I used them all of the time post pregnancy too.  They don't have the scrunching on the sides so they do not even look maternity.  I size up in these tops.

These Jcrew maternity jeans are amazing.  They really look like regular jeans and they do not have the full panel.  I am not a fan of the full panel because I find myself always having to pull them up.  I bought these in the rinse wash and the black.  I did have to buy the tall length because they run a little on the shorter size and I wanted a full length. 25% off today with code GETSHOPPING!

I also love to grab cardigans in all different lengths and shapes in non maternity because I will be able to wear them after.  There are so many cute and cozy ones available right now.  I bought this Gap one a few weeks ago and it has become my very favorite.  It does run big so I had to size down

I get very paranoid about using any facial products or taking any meds during pregnancy.  I'm so happy that I stumbled upon Acure years ago.  Their products are amazing and everything they use is completely safe to use during pregnancy.  Their Acure Organics Facial Scrub is my favorite!  I use it about 3 times a week on my face, neck and chest, and I really see my skin glowing brighter.  I also love this Kiss my Face Bar Soap for everyday facial use.  It is made out of olive oil, water, and sodium chloride.  Thats it!

I'm on the hunt for a new maternity suit.  I have been taking Addie for swim lessons and the one piece I've been squeezing myself into has seen better days.  All of my bikini tops come no where close to covering "the girls" so I officially need a maternity swimsuit.  Do you have any recommendations on brands that you love?  I found this Motherhood Maternity suit and this Pez D' Or Maternity Suit.  Has anyone tried either one?

Tommy is home this weekend. Perhaps a little shopping trip is in order!

I'll keep you posted on my findings. Thanks for following along!!
