It’s not even September yet, but here I am scrolling through Amazon for cute fall decor! But, guys! Amazon has really upped their game and there are SO many cute fall finds for super cheap! I wanted to share some of my favorite fall finds on Amazon!

one // Happy Fall banner. This is perfect for the kitchen or even the kids room! So simple + easy.

two // Pumpkin spice coffee mug. This screams fall mornings.

three // Pumpkin Patch pillow. I love the linen look of this pillow!

four // Fall kitchen towels. Can’t wait to hang these on the oven!

five // leaf pillows. These actually come in a 4-pack! Can’t beat that!

six // orange throw blanket. Can you just picture yourself snuggled up with a fall movie on. What’s your favorite fall movie?

seven // buffalo plaid door mat (or rug!). Love that this can be used outside or inside. I think I’m going to use mine as a doormat surrounded by pumpkins outside!

eight // wooden easel. Such an easy fall decor idea – just slap on a cute fall saying!

nine // cotton wreath. I love this wreath because I think it also would go great for Thanksgiving and even winter. Maybe?

ten // set of 4 fall pillows. Super cute to throw on the couch!

eleven // gather pillow. This looks like Magnolia with a WAY cheaper price!

Well, happy almost Fall! And happy shopping!

Toddlerwearing – My Favorite Way to Carry My Baby

The last couple of months I have been really sore in my lower back. I am not sure exactly what I did that started bothering it, but after visiting a chiropractor I knew I needed to change a few things. One of the things that stood out to me the most is that my back may be hurting because of the way I hold my son, Donovan! First of all, he’s a BIG boy. He weighs over 30 pounds and whenever I would hold him, I’d have to stick out my hip so he could have a spot to sit on me. This is NOT good for the back. Anyways, I wanted to share this AMAZING new product that I’ve been using! It’s called the 2-In-1 carrier + hip seat from Moby and it’s a lifesaver for me (+ my back!!).

Toddlerwearing - The best way to carry a toddler!

The new Moby 2-in-1 Carrier and Hip Seat combines the support of a standard ergonomic baby carrier with the simple carrying assistance of a hip seat in one convenient baby wearing product! It’s the perfect baby gear solution for parenting transitions and adapts as your little one grows.

What I love about the Moby is that this carrier has 4 carrier options: front-inward, hip, front-outward & back and then 3 Hip seat options: front-inward, front-outward & hip! My favorite way to carry Donovan is the Hip seat on my hip. I can easily pick Donovan up and put him down when he wants. But I have the amazing support from the seat.

The hip seat has a hard structure so it’s super supportive but also comfortable for both mom + baby! I bring this thing everywhere – especially when I know Donovan will want to be carried for part of the time. Just the other day, my mom and I took the kids to the park and the beach and the hip seat came in handy so much! I love that by wearing the hip seat I don’t have to stick my hip out to carry Donovan. It really has been helping my back!

My mom also loves it, LOL! It’s a great way for Grandparents to hold babies, too!

I can’t wait to see how you incorporate the Moby 2-in-1 Carrier and Hip Seat into your lifestyle! You can purchase it here.

PLAYDATE PARTY WITH BRAWNY

Thank you Brawny® Tear-A-Square® for sponsoring this post. Think of all the ways you can Put a Square There!

My favorite way to break up the long summer days is by hosting playdates at the house! It’s so fun to surprise Donovan and Gracie by telling them they’re having a friend party! They love it! Plus, I love it because I get to catch up with all of my mom friends. It’s a win-win. Days like these always go by super fast for me. I guess it’s true what they say – time flies when you’re having fun!

When inviting the kids’ friends over for a playdate party, I always like to have a snack for them! We also like to do a craft.For this party we did donuts, pizza, and a craft. One thing I love to have for our play-date parties is the new Brawny® Tear-A-Square® paper towels. These brand new paper towels are genius- especially if you have kids! The new Brawny® Tear-A-Square® now has quarter sheet sizes so you can use just what you need! So when the kids have something pretty messy, you can use the full sheet or half sheet. And when they have something that makes just a little mess, a quarter sheet is the perfect solution!

This is such a game-changer for us because now our paper towels will last so much longer! There are so many uses for the quarter sheet including:

+cleaning up a small mess

+to hold a popsicle

+the perfect size for a small snack

+to use in place of a coaster

+for a child to dry their hands on

+cleaning fridge spills

+cleaning a messy kid’s face

The Brawny® Tear-A-Square® paper towels are literally perfect if you have kids because you can easily just tear a little quarter off for most things. And then when you do have a bigger mess to clean, you can use the full sheet.

The kids had so much fun coming over for our impromptu playdate party! We ate pizza and donuts and did crafts… and I didn’t have any of the guilt about wasting all of the paper towels that normally happens with get-togethers!

Also, did I mention how durable these are? They are definitely not the flimsy kind of paper towel. They are super absorbent and work really well for all sorts of uses including big clean-up jobs. Definitely check out the new Brawny® Tear-A-Square® paper towels! Let me know how you like them!
