WIWW: Must Have Leggings + Link Up

leggings // cardigan // tee // necklace // booties

Y'all know I am not one to say people HAVE to have something. But, these leggings are an exception. I saw them on someone's instagram and literally logged on to Nordstrom and ordered them right away. AND I NEVER DO THAT. I'm not sure what drew me to these, but I wanted them so bad.

And the best part is that...

I love them. Nordstrom is 12 minutes from my house, but I knew I wouldn't have time to run to the mall, so when they came in the mail I nearly screamed. They are as perfect as I wanted them to be.

Basically this outfit will be on repeat all fall. I told you last week how I was obsessed with this color and the obsession doesn't seem to be letting up. Oh well. 

In other news, I've been SO busy with my little Etsy business that I feel like I've been a sleep, eat, teach, make signs, repeat machine. It has been exhausting, but I'm loving the creative outlet. 

Anyways, I can't believe it is November and that it is Wednesday and that my baby tured 7 months old yesterday. Time is a thief!

Happy Wednesday!

Let's Talk Baby Monitors

One of the first things I knew I wanted for Graham's nursery was a video monitor, so I started reading about the top video baby monitors. Video monitors allow parents to peek on their little babes and see what they're up to; aka stare at them while they sleep. I can't imagine how our parents did it without video monitors. I guess they got a lot more sleep, ha!!

When researching about baby monitors I read this article and consulted some of my other mommy friends. I knew my friend loved her monitor for her twins, so I got her advice on what the pros and cons were.

Another thing I had read about in this article left me feeling a little hesitant about the wifi enabled monitors. The safety of our little Graham is my number one priority, so we came to the conclusion that we did not want a monitor that connected to wifi.

Ultimately we went with the Summer Infant baby monitor and have been very happy with it. The screen is really big, which is my most favorite thing about it. Mounting it was super easy and we take it with us everywhere we go. It easily comes off the wall and we are able to set it up on vacation or at either of our parent's houses.

Knowing that I can peek on our little guy at any moment eases my mommy anxiety a ton. Even though hearing all his babbles and coos can keep us up at 3:00am, I wouldn't trade the feeling of knowing he is safe for anything.

6 Month Favorites

We are SIX (almost SEVEN!) months into this whole parenting thing and with each month comes new favorites. All of these items are what we use on a daily basis, and I can't rave enough about each one.

Pacifiers - It wasn't until Graham was about 4-5 months old that he started liking a pacifier. We bought every kind imaginable and he likes the Tommee Tippee ones best. We use the same brand bottles, so I'm not surprised. He used to only take a paci when he was sleepy, but now that he is starting to want to chew on everything, we clip it to him and he chews/sucks on it all day. I love how he is able to take it in and out of his mouth as he pleases. He is a talker, so he definitely doesn't have it in all the time!

Sophie La Girafe - She travels everywhere with us. Not only is she a favorite, but so is anything else G can get his hands on. He is definitely in the put everything in my mouth phase. 

Baby Bjorn Bibs - I cannot rave enough about these (or any wipable bib)! We started out with cloth bibs during feeding time and quickly realized washing bibs every night was not our chore of choice. These bibs make after dinner cleanup so easy!

Pacifier Clips - Need I explain these? The fact that your child's paci isn't flying through the air at any random moment is a parent win. Plus, these are just so cute! 

OXO Tot Sprout Chair - Chris and I both LOVE this highchair. Not only do we love the look, but cleanup is SO easy. There are no weird crevices for food to wiggle into. The cushion is removable if food does find it's way under there, but so far, so good!

Baby Bandana Drool Bibs - If you follow me on instagram (@sarahtuckerup) then you know I'm obsessed with these bandana bibs. Bibs are synonymous with bows for girls. He literally has a bib for every outfit. 

Alphabet Tiles - With wood floors and the copious amounts of drool that flow out of my child, we needed something soft, yet wipable. This mat has been a life saver! If G spits up or drools, it is easy to clean. And, it is HUGE! We don't even have it all asembled and we still have a big area for him to play.
