Late Night Nursing Finds | No. 2

October 7, 2019

Happy Monday, sweet friends!

Man, those weekends fly by, don’t they? We had a pretty quiet weekend over here. Baby boy had a rough night Saturday night, which means mama did, too. 

OK, today’s post is all about recent late night nursing finds. (Also. What did mamas do before online shopping?)

In case you missed it, you can check out the first Late Night Nursing Finds post here.

Thanks for stopping by!

1. RevitaLash® ADVANCED Eyelash Conditioner – I’ve had my eye on this (ha) for awhile, but didn’t want to use it while I was pregnant. My lashes are pretty minuscule, so I might give it a try. I plan on asking my Dr. about it at my 6 week appointment to make sure it’s safe to use while breastfeeding.

2. Benefit Cosmetics They’re Real! Mascara – I ordered this a few weeks ago and have been using it every day. So far, I love it. It’s not clumpy and stays on all day. And it has a little spiky ball on the end of the wand to get those little lashes in the corner.

3. Flameless tea lights – I’ve been looking for flameless tea lights for our ceramic pumpkins (shown in the featured image) and these are such a good deal – a pack of 7 for $10.

4. Set of 2 pillow inserts – I have a throw pillow problem. (Just ask my husband.) I ordered these inserts for a few new pillow covers and they’re perfect.

5. Birch votive candleholder – I LOVE any and all things birch, and not just in the fall and winter. Ordering these candleholders for our family room built ins. 

6. Adjustable racerback high impact sports bra – If you’re nursing, you might want to check out this sports bra. I was looking for a less expensive version of my favorite ever sports bra. This one fits the bill. It’s adjustable in the front, which makes it perfect for nursing and for the girls that change size after you nurse. It’s super supportive and great for high impact activity and it’s less than $26!

7. Free People blanket scarf – This blanket scarf is a best-seller every fall and winter. It makes any #ootd and comes in 4 colors.

8. Birch branch votive centerpiece – The perfect centerpiece for our Thanksgiving table. Sold.

9. a.n.a henley long sleeve tee – If you’re looking for an easy nursing-friendly top, this is it. It comes in 8 colors and is on sale for less than $15. Perfect for wearing on its own, or layering under your favorite cardigan. I ordered the black, rose and oatmeal.

10. Memory foam slippers – I shared these slippers in my September Amazon Fashion Haul in gray and love them so much I ordered them in the pink, too. They’re crazy comfy and less than $18.

11. Colorblock chunky sweater – Another Amazon Fashion find. This sweater is less than $31, gets great reviews and comes in 8 colors.

12. Beaded MAMA bracelet – I ordered this MAMA bracelet last week and I wasn’t sure what to expect, since it’s way less expensive than other versions. Well, I was shocked at the quality. It’s an adjustable bracelet, not stretchy. I LOVE it.

13. Zodiak coin necklace – This is such a cute necklace and would make a sweet gift. It’s $45 and would look cute layered with a few other necklaces.

14. Gerber Soothe Probiotic drops – It wouldn’t be a late night nursing session without some research on how to help baby boy’s whole gas situation. The grunting has continued (see his 1 month update for more), and so many mamas have recommended I try these probiotic drops. So far, they have helped. They’re not magic, but I can tell he’s pooping and tooting easier.

15. Hey There Pumpkin doormat – Thank you to Liz for sending me this adorable doormat! Because it’s not officially fall until you have a cute fall doormat and take a photo of it. 🙂

16. Lulu & Georgia Laney mirror – We’ve had our eye on this mirror for our entryway, and I think we’re going to go for it…

17. Cost Plus World Market bistro barstool – I’ve been toying with the idea of getting new stools for our kitchen island, but hadn’t found anything I loved until I saw these stools.

HI! I’M SUZANNE…

After working as a fashion executive for almost a decade, I’m now a stay at home mama to 3 kids and live on the North Shore of Chicago. I spend my days shopping online, decorating my new home and trying to get in a good workout, all while trying to play with my kids and getting the baby to sleep. Mom life is hard, but it can be sweet… XO

Does anyone else feel like a million pounds lighte Does anyone else feel like a million pounds lighter today?? It’s like the dark clouds have lifted and my anxiety has gone down to a 7 out of 10. (I mean, bc the pandemic and all. But still. Better.) 🙌🏻 💙

Finally. I can exhale. 💙    I watched today Finally. I can exhale. 💙 
 
I watched today’s Inauguration of President Joe Biden and Madam Vice President Kamala Harris with tears streaming down my face and my 6 year old daughter at my side.  
 
She didn’t quite understand what was happening, but when I explained to her that Kamala Harris is the first GIRL Vice President, her eyes went wide with possibility.  
 
Our little ones are watching and for the first time in 4 years, I am so proud of what they’re seeing.  
 
It’s a new day.  
 
💙🇺🇸❤️
I’m one year sober today.     365 days alcoh I’m one year sober today.  
 
365 days alcohol free. And I’m so damn proud.  
 
When I first shared my story in June, I received some push back: 
 
“If you’re not an alcoholic, why do you feel the need to give up alcohol?” 
“ARE you an alcoholic?” 
“Stop spreading the message that giving up alcohol is easy. For alcoholics, it’s not.” 
 
As with all things I share, I can only write about my experience.  
 
I only had to ask myself one question when it came to alcohol: DID IT MAKE MY LIFE BETTER? 
 
In every single instance, the answer was NO.  
 
Alcohol didn’t help my anxiety. (It made it worse.) 
 
Alcohol didn’t make me more fun. (I’m already pretty damn fun on my own.) 
 
Alcohol didn’t help me connect with others. (How could I truly connect when all of my senses were dulled?)  
 
Alcohol didn’t improve my health. (Umm, it’s poison. It’s LITERALLY ethanol. Like, what we put in cars. And no. It’s not good for heart health.)  
 
It was clear. Alcohol just didn’t make sense for me anymore.  
 
Plus, I’d given alcohol 20 years of my life. Didn’t I owe it to myself to see what life could be like without it?  
 
A year in and I wake up grateful every single day that I broke up with alcohol.  
 
You don’t have to be an alcoholic to STOP drinking alcohol.  
 
It doesn’t have to make sense to your friends or your loved ones.  
 
You don’t have to have all of the answers or know how the story ends.  
 
You can just...start. Give it a chance. It might just be the best thing you’ve ever done for yourself.

Stop saying this is the “new normal.”     Stop saying this is the “new normal.”  
 
This is not normal. None of this feels normal. And it shouldn’t.  
 
It is not normal to be isolated, away from family and friends.  
 
It is not normal to carry the mental load of keeping our families safe from an invisible virus.  
 
It is not normal to work from home, while also taking care of little ones and trying to manage e-learning.  
 
It is not normal to have to choose between our mental health and our physical health.  
 
It is not normal to have our lives put on hold for 10+ months.  
 
This. Is. Not. Normal.  
 
If you are struggling through this time, THAT is normal. 
 
If your breakdowns are more frequent. If you feel overwhelmed. If you are bone tired. If your mind races with anxiety and if depression weighs you down.  
 
THAT is normal.  
 
We are living through a pandemic. Go easy on yourself and remember that survival is the goal.  
 
That’s it.
Literally the only surface of my home that is not Literally the only surface of my home that is not currently covered in toys or STUFF. See stories for real life 👀🤦🏼‍♀️  
  
It’s impeachment eve, y’all. How are you feeling?? I still can’t concentrate on anything else and my anxiety is at like a 16 (out of 10) but other than that it’s all good. 🙄 I’ll be glued to the TV all day tomorrow to watch history. Anyone else??

Anyone else finding it impossible to concentrate o Anyone else finding it impossible to concentrate on ANYTHING today?? 🤦🏼‍♀️ For real. Daily tasks. Work. Yoga. It was rough.  
  
But WAIT. There is one thing I’ve been able to waste time thinking about: How do they write off Samantha in the new Sex And The City??? 🤔 So, what you do think?? And will you miss her?? 👇🏻

Idk, it feels like a good time to post a photo of Idk, it feels like a good time to post a photo of progress. 😉 Swipe to see Gray’s nursery before we painted the black accent wall... 🖤 
 
I’m sharing this post later than I thought based on the week’s horrific events, but I’m excited to finally share Baby Gray’s nursery transformation! It’s a wonder what a little paint will do.

Hi, sweet friends. Checking in. How are you doing? Hi, sweet friends. Checking in. How are you doing?  
   
My heart is heavy. My anxiety is high. I’m exhausted. But still...hopeful. It’s a rollercoaster, right?    
   
I’ve been sharing a lot on stories since the riots at the Capitol and while it’s scary to stand up for what I believe in, I ALWAYS end up feeling like it’s the right thing.    
   
And if you’re new here, HI! I’m so glad you’re here. Normally, I keep it a bit lighter (😉) and share my style, home and #momlife truths. But, I also don’t shy away from talking about the hard things...   
   
OK, off to take a break from the madness and catch up on Housewives.  
 
Will you let me know if they either invoke the 25th or impeach??? Thanks! 😉
Sometimes I like to keep my home decor simple, bu Sometimes I like to keep my home decor simple,  but sometimes it’s more of an over do it or do it over type situation. These cherry blossom branches are a choice and I’m loving them. 🙌🏻  
  
Also I’ve officially decided to say screw it to the IG posting rules and I’m share back to back photos of my kitchen. Who knows what I’ll do next?! 😎

New year, new kitchen stools.   I love seeing h New year, new kitchen stools. 
 
I love seeing how just small adjustments can make big changes in our home. I swapped out our old stools (they are ivory, from our old house and just didn’t work with the white kitchen) with black stools and I love the difference.  
 
The only down side is that Gray can climb these. So, there’s that. 🤦🏼‍♀️
