Lilly Pulitzer Gifts - 3PM ET

Rue La La

Thanks to the heads up by Samma, I ordered my Carseat Canopy using a promotional code and got it free (just paid shipping). Now, full disclosure, I personally think they run these promotions all of the time and then just charge a sizable amount for shipping -- mine was nearly $13 for a padded envelope -- BUT, still a great deal for $13! I went with a gender-neutral pattern. The underside is gray minky fabric, that soft soft soft fabric with the raised dots on it. I love it and love that it will shield our babe from light, from the sun, from the cold, from germy strangers!

(FYI: Using my beloved sale scouring site Retail Me Not, looks like you can currently use code PJBABY to get your canopy for free and just pay shipping! Even if you don't have a kiddo, this would be an awesome baby shower gift for a friend or coworker. Please let me know if this code works for you!)

Know what I love? That I wish I'd never tried? The banana pudding milkshake from Cook Out.


And know what makes the perfect milkshake tray?


This ginormous belly.

Do. Not. Even. Get. Me. Started .... on how amazing Chrisley Knows Best is. Are you watching this show yet?!

It comes on USA but I watch it on my Entertainment On Demand channel. I've watched five episodes so far and I'm just crazy in love with this hilarious, interesting, slightly effeminate Southern dad and his family.

I have decided that the best place to compose umpteen dozen thank you notes is in the rocking chair in the nursery. Glass of water by my side and surrounded by my child's beautiful things. Notice how I keep sharing little tidbits of her room. Almost finished and then I can't wait to share the whole thing!


(PS, if you squint really hard, you can see the "Notes" pad on the right has a list titled Last Minute Grabs. Yes, people, that's getting us ready for our trip to the hospital. Crazy to think that it is even time to make that list!)

Now, your turn to link up. I'd love to read your five! Any five things on your mind will do. Just link to one or all of the hostess sites and insert the logo below. Then link-up with us and you are set!

  27. April,
    I've read every post since you announced your pregnancy. I have loved watching your growing belly and see you experience the joys (and not so much) of pregnancy. You look radiant, and I can't wait to hear the good news.

    PS--It looks like I need to watch this tv show!

  28. You will love having a carseat canopy! Having a baby took me to a whole new level of crazy and I was just astonished at the amount of people that will stick their head in the carseat or try and touch baby at which point you go into crazy momma bear mode lol. And that milkshake sounds amazing!

  34. I had that exact same car seat cover for Trace (got it free too (1 year ago)) and I couldn't use it at all after I had him. It was way too hot under there for him this past summer, but I broke it out this past fall/winter and it was fantastic. I'm sure you'll get much use out of it when the weather gets colder again. But for summer we bought a "sun and bug" cover -- it blocked out UV rays and kept bugs from biting him :)

  35. Hahaha, love the milkshake tray!

    Can't wait to see the babe's nursery!

    ReplyDelete
  36. That milkshake...oh my. I LOOOVE the mint oreo shake from Cook Out. YUM!

    I'll totally have to look into that TV show. I haven't seen it, but I need another good reality show in my life (not).
