maternity clothes shopping

Ok so no I am not preggo but maybe I will be soon, who knows. One thing I am still bad at it shopping for maternity clothes. I always window shop online and in the actual stores. I like to see what is new and cute and yes I even pick up a few things just to keep and have on hand, maybe even gift if a friend gets pregnant.

Moody Mama's has always been a favorite of mine (check out Here and here to see me in their clothes!) and Moody Mama's has dressed celebrities and is carried in high end maternity boutiques and stores like Nordstrom. I am super excited though because they recently launched a new line for WalMart! Yes, affordable amazing quality maternity clothes right in your back yard! Prices range from just $10 to $24 so I know all you thrifty mamas will be excited to hear that!

Currently Moody Mama's is only available online but if you order more then $45 you get FREE SHIPPING!!! So you can get a whole wardrobe for $100 and under which is just awesome to me.

I picked out a few of my favorite and they should be here next Friday!



Checking out using WalMart's Secure Checkout was super simple!

hayneedle davinci kalani dresser review and giveaway

When I designed Kendall's nursery I of course had the perfect dresser in mind to match her perfect crib. We ended up going with a Espresso theme for her (since I like dark wood) and I love everything about it. We didn't need a dresser though since we decided to hang all of her baby clothes.

Makenna on the other hand was using my grandma's dresser and it didn't match her white and pink theme room. Hayneedle sent us the DaVinci Kalani 4-Drawer Dresser to review so she would finally have a white dresser that would fit perfectly in the room.

Assembly was super easy and John finished it in just 30 minutes. The instructions were so clear and easy to follow along with, not even an electric drill was necessary!
This dress is made with Pine wood so you know it's strong and each drawer can hold 30 pounds (my 6 year old!), even though I'm not sure I would ever test that out.

 DIMENSIONS:

22W x 34.5D x 41H inches

I love the height of the DaVinci Kalani Dresser. It comes up about half way up the middle of the window in her room. Great height so Makenna can reach the top of the dresser but it doesn't block out any light at all! Plus, she doesn't lose storage space since the drawers are very deep.

The Dresser is available in 5 colors: Cherry, Ebony, Espresso, Honey Oak, White you will definitely find a color that matches any nursery or bedroom.



messy carpet from the foam in the box :/

My favorite features are the curved accents of the legs and top. Simple touches like that are actually important to me so I'm glad DaVinci took the time to add those details.

Hayneedle is giving away a $75 giftcard to my readers so you can pick out whatever you want!!

chicken fajitas with hillshire farm #grilledessentials #cbias

Recently I was sent out to make a dinner meal using the new Hillshire Farm Grilled Essentials chicken breast.
It was chicken fajita night and instead of slicing up boneless skinless chicken breast I went shopping for this easy to use chicken. I was pretty nervous especially after I read that to heat this 2-pack of chicken up you pop it into the microwave for just 60 seconds. How good could it taste right?

I found the Grilled Essentials right next to the packaged lunch meat section of my local WalMart. I wasn't sure which flavor sounded better so I grabbed both the Hardwood Smoked and the Italian Style. Other flavor options are Grilled (plain), Lemon Pepper, and Garlic & Herb. All options are just 120 calories per serving and 19 grams of protein!

Tonight I went with the Hardwood Smoked Chicken Breast

Like I said, cooking the chicken was simple. I popped it in the microwave (unopened) for 1 minute and the self ventilating packaging does the magic for you.

Do you see how juicy the chicken is?! It was seriously so moist and so flavorful. I could not believe how tasty it was.
So as you can see I sliced up some red pepper and a yellow onion. I let them sweat in a pan of EVOO and black pepper for a few minutes till the onions were caramelised and peppers were softened.

After slicing up the chicken breast add the onion and red pepper to a tortilla, top with (lots of) cheese and pico de gallo and enjoy!

Using Hillshire Farm Grilled Essentials gave me a quick and delicious meal idea for dinner (and lunch) that I will continue to use!

tailgating on football sunday #cheapgas #cbias #tailgating

Unless you live in a cave then you know it's football season. If your family is like mine every weekend revolves around football and who is playing. If one of John's teams are playing then we can't run errands or do family outings or we have to wait till the game is over. It's crazy.
We cook out, have lots of friends over, nap schedules are thrown off.
Yesterday was no different. We watched 3 different games and I took pictures of the whole thing and my pre-game trip to Murphy Express which I put up on Intersect!

Murphy USA (walk up outside store) and Murphy Express (inside store) is a great stop to shop at for propaine, gas, snacks and lots of drinks at amazing prices! I can feed the whole army of John's guy friends for super cheap.

My first stop was to Murphy Express. I needed to refill our propane tank, get some gas and of course stock up on snacks and drinks.

Can't beat these prices and deals! 

I picked up Pepsi products for 99cents each, 2-$2.22 Coke products and king size candy for 2-$2.50!! I love shopping at Murphy Express and Murphy USA for snacks and drinks especially when I need to pick up a lot.

 

Our 2nd game of the day was the Dallas and Lions game. The Lions were getting their butts kicked.

We had such a great time yesterday and you bet you will catch us doing the same thing every weekend!



so tired at the end of the night.
