We had a totally laid back weekend which was perfect since my mom is coming into town this week, Harper’s second birthday is on Wednesday (maybe I’m a little extremely emotional…) and her birthday party is coming up this weekend.
By the way, if you haven’t already seen on IG (@veronabrit), we are doing a flamingo theme for her second birthday party. I ordered this invite from SundayDesign on etsy and I absolutely love it!
We ran a lot of errands this weekend to pick up things we would need for her birthday party and as an excuse to eat out at our favorite lunch places.
If you follow me on IG, you’ve already seen the massive giraffe. There’s really no other way to describe it. Someone on my IG told me that the Bloggess saw the same one and wrote a post about it that’s quite funny. Can I just say I’m kind of amazed that apparently Home Good stores across the country have these— and some have more than one! It remains a mystery to me who would buy this or have the room for it, but then again, everything’s bigger in Texas, right?
We also visited the fabric store where Harper found a hula-hoop and challenged me to a spin-off. Haha, just kidding, I totally tried to hula and failed and she just ran around with it.
We promised we would take Harper to the “jumpey house” today, AKA WonderWild. She went for the first time this past Friday and she kept talking about it so we took her there this morning.
And for baby boy I picked up this little romper and whale bib. I’m not into the monkeys, cars, ducks and other various charaters and patterns you see on a lot of baby boy clothes (with some exceptions, of course—no offense if you like them- they’re just not for me!) so I was happy to see some simpler options. What I’ve learned in my brief time boy shopping is that it’s a lot of stripes. But I love stripes, so it works. I also love that I’m seeing some stuff in mint green and other colors outside of the “traditional” boy colors (PS- check out this article on the origins of the pink for girls blue for boys- it might surprise you!)
We also stopped in at Baby Gap for their 40% off sale and I picked up some pants for baby boy and jammies for Harper.
hi i was wandering where you got the mint colored croc style ahoes harper is wearing in the picture at the museum?!!!! thanks in advance! I absolutely LOVE them!!
they are from Old Navy!
That article was so interesting. I love learning about why society is the way it is. I, too, don't love the typical baby boy clothes with ducks or monkeys or trucks on them. I prefer geometric patterns, stripes, solids and those ant pants are so fun!
Those outfits for Harper are too cute for words! Dressing a girl is so much fun lol And I can't wait to see the dresses you've nabbed! Thanks for shooting them quickly for us!! xx
the first post is up today 🙂 i do love girls clothes— so much selection!
Flamingo themed party sounds like a great idea! Love the invite!
thank you 🙂 I can't wait!
Of COURSE I love those fish jammies! Gymboree usually has a spring or summer nautical line that I buy a lot from. Their newborn stuff is always really precious, too. Winter, eh. I just got talked into a bunch of glittery penguins though. :/
What an interesting article! Thanks for linking that, love reading things like that!
