Busy Day and Newbies for the Karolkiewiczes

Today has already been super productive. I love that feeling! Keegan woke up on the wrong side of the bed, so this morning I wasn't sure how today would go. Luckily he fell back asleep then woke up on the right side of the bed :)

Keegan and I went for a four and a half mile walk, finished the laundy and did the dishes all before 11:30 this morning! Then after lunch we headed to the post office and to Marshalls. I wanted to make sure to pick up a couple of outfits for Keegan in size 3-6 months, because I feel like he's growing like a weed and will be out of his 0-3 month clothes soon, and I dont want to be stuck without an clothes that fit him! Pretty soon he'll look like a little sausage trying to fit into these clothes :) Ha!

While we were there we picked up a couple books... For Keegan we got,


I got myself a little something that I can't wait to read... Maybe naptime tomorrow I'll start it!



I loved the book "90 Minutes In Heaven," so I'm sure I will love this as well!

I've been a little spoiled the past week. There have been a couple new things that we got that I just HAD to share. I'm pretty pumped.

First of all, does anyone else watch the Today show? Anyone else a big fan of Jill's Steals and Deals?! I had never seen that segment until I was on maternity leave, and I adore it! Every week she works with different companies and designers to bring huge discount deals to viewers. The third week or so of maternity leave I ordered a watch from Ruby Kats who was featured on the show. The discount saved me about $130.00 or so... How could I resist?! This beauty finally came in the mail this week:



It's a little "gaudier" then I would normally wear... but I love it! I feel so chic with it on! :) It's super high quality, and geeze louise, for the discount on it, I couldn't NOT get it!

I am writing this and realizing how lame I am. The next thing I wanted to show off was because of something I saw on TV, too (Hey, I'm home a lot more now, and it's on in the background a lot while I clean and such). Anyway, last week I was watching the Nate Beurkus show, and Barbara (from The Shark Tank!) was on and stated that when you're selling a house, your bedding should be pretty simple- probably just a solid color- but to look chic. A large pattern could intimidate buyers without them even realizing it.

Good tip, huh?! Well MY bedding was big black and white damask. Super cute. But super loud.

I found this fantastic duvet on smartbargains.com, and I absolutely LOVE it! I feel like I have a whole new bedroom!


Sorry the picture's a little blurry. It was on my phone and I couldn't tell if it was blurry or not until I just uploaded it. Please disregard the messes on our night stands and the co-sleeper next to our bed! But so cute, huh?! I think it looks like a hotel!

We might be having a showing this weekend, so I want it to be as great as possible so as not to intimidate any buyers! HA! Please be saying a prayer. Our realtor had emailed us about someone who might be interested in buying a couple weeks ago, and we had kind of lost hope on that since we hadn't heard anything. Well, that person is SUPPOSED to come into town to see our house this weekend. So, Prayer #1: That the buyer comes into town this weekend as planned. Prayer #2: That she LOVES our house as much as we loved it when we walked through! Prayer #3: That she'll put an offer in! :) Ha, it's not too much to ask, right?!

Tomorrow my Etsy store is going to be featured on the Fabulous Friday Freebies Blog. We will be giving away the Nursery Letters that I make and to anyone that doesn't win, you can at least get a coupon code for 10% off all orders! Make sure to visit tomorrow! :)

Enjoy this beautiful summer day, everyone!
