DIY Brown Sugar Scrub

Saturday, August 19, 2017

Is anyone else SOOOO ready for fall? Maybe it is the summer pregnancy talking, but I will be happy when the weather cools down, and I can hold this sweet babe in my arms. I have already been diffusing fall blends, dreaming of visits to our favorite pumpkin patch, and listening to last year's fall playlist on repeat. 

I have also been enjoying this lovely brown sugar scrub & wanted to share the recipe with you!


BROWN SUGAR SCRUB
1/2 cup Raw Brown Sugar
2 Tbsp Fractionated Coconut Oil
10 Drops of Orange Essential Oil

Just mix all of the ingredients together and store in a glass jar. The combo of brown sugar and orange smells heavenly, and the scrub leaves my hands feeling so soft!

What are you looking forward to most about fall?



Nursery Plans + Baby Gear

Friday, August 11, 2017

I am getting ahead of myself, but that is besides the point. Once we move into the new master bedroom, our current room will become the nursery for baby boy. So...until then, there isn't much I can do other than fill my online shopping carts and wait.

Here are a few of the items I plan to buy for the nursery...and a couple things for baby! We have most of the baby gear left over from Rowan, but there are a couple things that we still need.




Sound Machine / Boppy Cover / Blanket / Storage Bin / Crib / Wall Art

We will be using the Ubbi Diaper Pail again. We had this with Rowan and it is the best! It is probably the first thing I recommend every pregnant mama add to their registry.

Another item that I have had my eye on is the City Select double stroller. I love that it easily converts to a single stroller when I only have one kiddo to push around, and the reviews were all great. Rowan would probably do fine without a stroller, but for long trips it will be nice to have...like to all those pumpkin patches I plan to hit up while I am on maternity leave! I will also have our favorite baby carriers. We loved the Solly Wrap and the Wildbird sling. They are both great for different reasons, and I can't wait to wear this baby all around.

What am I missing? Are there any new baby products that you have found super helpful?
