As many of you know, my Simply Sweet Home will be even sweeter about a month from now, as we welcome our newest member, Baby Thaxton!  I am currently 35 weeks pregnant. As you can imagine, I am in the middle of final baby preparations: cleaning house, packing hospital bags, purchasing last minute supplies, and getting everything organized.  Phew!  One thing I don’t have to worry about right away is diapers and wipes.  Thanks to Sam’s Club, we have stocked up on plenty of those for a while!

Sam’s Club is THE place to stock up on must-have supplies for your family or small business.  In the past, I’ve saved a lot of money on health and beauty supplies, pet items, office supplies, and cleaning products.  Now that I’m pregnant, I get to take a peek at the must-have items for baby!  Sam’s Club has everything from baby toys and clothes, to essentials like diapers, wipes, and formula!  Today I’m going to talk about why Sam’s Club is a great place to shop for baby essentials. I also have information on an instant savings deal with Huggies® at Sam’s Club and a tutorial to help you organize your baby changing supplies! [Read more…]

Our Forest Friends Nursery Reveal

Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. The opinions are my own.

In the past few years, we have done several home makeover and DIY projects.  We’ve done a little painting outside, put up new light fixtures, painted furniture, gotten new appliances, and bought all new furniture in our living room, but I don’t think anything has been quite as exciting or as fun as putting together our new baby nursery!  After deliberating over a few themes and color schemes, I finally decided on the Forest Friends theme from Sweet Jojo Designs.

I LOVE this brand.  I first attracted to the overall look and colors of this set, and when I saw all the different types of accessories that were available, I was SOLD!  I’ve seen plenty of bedding sets with just your basic sheet, comforter, mobile, and diaper stacker.  If I wanted any other pieces, I’d just have to look around for something that sort of matches, but all of the Sweet Jojo Designs collections have EVERYTHING you could possibly need to decorate your nursery, including matching wall art and wall decals.

Apart from the great designs, the collection is also very high quality, and each nursery collection has a matching toddler and child bedding set, so when baby Thaxon gets big enough for his toddler bed, I’ll just have to get a new bedding set, and we can continue using the rest of his decor!

Our Nursery Furniture – Preview and Products

Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. The opinions are my own.

As many of you know, I’m getting ready to welcome a new little one into the world.  HE is scheduled to arrive on November 17, and I’m currently in the process of getting the nursery decorated.  Today I’m sharing the nursery furniture that has been purchased.

Chest and Changing Table

First we have the South Shore Fundy Tide Changing Table and 4-Drawer Chest.  I purchased these on Amazon.  The set is available on other websites, but Amazon had the best pricing.

This is a great looking set. The color is espresso, but I think there are other colors available. It was very important to me to find a changing table with drawers, because I like to have things stored so that they are hidden.  The South Shore Fundy Tide Changing table has two drawers, plus a shelf for storing items.  And another great thing about this item is that we can still use it in the baby’s room long after a changing table is no longer needed.  I figure I could use for toys, extra clothes, art supplies, or anything else in his room, and then I just have to remove the changing pad, and there is a place to display items.   [Read more…]

5 Pregnancy Must-Haves

I’m about 11 weeks pregnant.  It’s a relatively new thing for me, but over the past several weeks and months I’ve done plenty of research on that first trimester, the symptoms it brings about, and solutions to combat those symptoms.  Although I’m told the morning sickness and fatigue will soon wear off for a while (and luckily a lot of the common first trimester symptoms haven’t hit me hard), I know I still have a lot of changes and adjustments to look forward to over the next few months!

A few things I’m not looking forward to are the weight gain, the loss of sleep, and those frequent trips to the bathroom.  But I’m sure I will survive!  Today I’m sharing 5 pregnancy must-haves for self-care. [Read more…]

Special Announcement: Coming in November

I had planned to put up this post next week, but I have a sponsored post coming up related to the topic, so I thought it would be good to go ahead an make the announcement now…

Pregnancy Test

After a long time of trying and much anticipation, I am happy to announce that we are expecting!  Our little baby bird is expected to arrive on November 17.  (And I’m really hoping he/she arrives on this day so he/she can share a birthday with my dad.)

If you are a regular reader to my blog and have noticed that I have posted as regularly as I have in the past….this would be a large reason why, but hopefully I can get back on track soon….at least till November! [Read more…]

Top Baby Brands Providing Everything at One Place

Kids are impulsive, one moment they are having fun in a certain activity and the next instance you see them, they are already in search of a new piece to play with. The real challenge that baby product companies face is to create the playthings that will not only retain the interest of the child but also have some educational value attached to them.

A few of the most popular Australian brands in kids’ accessories and toys are Skip Hop, Plum and Kidkraft. Speaking of kids accessories, they must be significantly appealing, and Skip Hop hasn’t overlooked that basic element in any of their products. Kids love animal characters, take a kid along on shopping and he’d want everything that resembles an animal character even if they don’t know what it is. Skip Hop zoo series has the cutest snack cups, bottles, lunch boxes and several other toys with bees, owls, and monkeys printed on them. No matter how much you persuade a child to eat and drink properly, they’ll always end up leaving a nice big portion on their plates. However, with these adorable and attractive Skip Hop baby cups and lunch boxes, kids will start eating better eventually.

Kidkraft is a name of excellence and creativity. Their doll houses and kitchen sets are available in different styles. Children love to imitate what their parents do, and all Kidkraft toys are built to indulge that urge of the kids. All their toys are constructed as models of the real life accessories. Various kitchen sets are available projecting the ideas of actual kitchens. While playing around with their kitchen sets, kids also learn to clean things up and they learn the names of the kitchen tools. The KidKraft doll houses are also a fun way to make the children organized. By placing the doll’s clothes, furniture, and other items in the right places, kids have fun and they apply the same ways in their lives. Music is pure fun and Kidkraft xylophones and pianos are the most exciting music kits for children. All the Kidkraft toys are engaging and vibrant but the quality has been an essential component of their manufacturing.

Free Potty Training Printables

Batman Potty Training Chart

It’s a been a few weeks since I shared any printables, so here we go!

As much as I love party decor printables, I also love finding printables for use in other areas of life as well. Today I’m focusing on something that any new or expecting mom can use: Potty Training Charts.   Potty training can be a difficult chore.  It’s hard knowing whether your child is ready.  Furthermore, it can be difficult to be consistent with your potty training techniques and practices, especially if you’re very busy or you have more than one person watching your child.  For this reason, it’s good to have plans and strategies in place, and potty charts are certainly helpful with this.

I found a great website featuring a variety of free charts to help you and your little one get started on this journey!  And they also have some great tips for you, the parent. [Read more…]

Friday Favorites – Week 162

friday favorites

Hey guys! Welcome to another fun edition of Friday Favorites!  Before we get to this week’s party, I have a couple of announcements that I want to make.  First off, I am planning to schedule some guest posts for the summer time.  Last summer I had a few of you on here to share your summer recipes with us, and I found it really enjoyable.  I will be contacting some of you via email shortly to see if you’d like to be a guest.  (Just as soon as I get a free minute. haha!)  But I would love…love…love…LOVE some volunteers!  So if you’d like to be a guest on my blog this summer, please just send me an email and I will be in contact with you shortly! 🙂

And then also this Friday, in addition to hosting this party, I am going to be sharing a review for Olay Fresh Effects, and in the review I will be including my very first….wait for it, wait for it…..Youtube video!  And I have to tell you, I am like the shyest person that ever lived!  So I swore up and down that I would never post a Youtube video, but I’ve been encouraged to make a one a few different times now, and I finally decided that I would break down and just try it out!  And who knows…maybe if I get some pretty good feedback, I may try to do more of those in the future.  So, as I said, the post will go up some time on Friday, and I would love to get your comments on the video.  (I only ask that you try to  ignore my constant hand movements and childlike voice! haha!)

Now let’s take a look at this week’s features!
