Saturday Snippets

Here is some weekend reading for you while I nest like crazy!!! Less than three weeks until my due date!

End-of-summer-mom. This is going to be me in approximately six years. I know it.

Pinterest launches price-drop notifications... but I have to give a huge shout-out to my friends over at Salemarked who have already been offering this service for over three years now! They just saved me $20 on a Hobo wallet this week!

Our culture is awesome. A fun little read about some of the positive changes in our society in recent years, especially regarding digital culture. These are the things I study in my PhD program, y'all...

7 Secrets of Highly Happy Children. My mom sent me this. Since when did my mom get trendy enough to send links to HuffPo articles? While I don't think it's my ultimate goal as a parent to ensure my child's happiness {holiness always trumps happiness}, I do like a lot of what this article says...

A list of newborn essentials

A fun way to revamp Ikea furniture. Anyone else out there buy way too much furniture at Ikea during the newlywed days and regret it now?

Yay, you found Lindsey and her site, The Wise Baby!!! I hope you enjoy it and find it as useful as I have recently. In fact, I spent last weekend completely "revamping" our online baby registry because of her (and other real moms') advice and suggestions. I can't believe you're due in 3 weeks, it seems like yesterday you were wearing the BIG REVEAL t-shirt in the family picture. LOL

Hugs,
Nicole

Ugh. I pretty much regret EVERY SINGLE thing we bought/registered for when we first got married...(5 years ago).

That time in your life is SO difficult b/c you are throwing a wedding (your first adult party) and moving in together (your first adult home).

It's so many decisions and pressure all at once. I still struggle with making our home...not too "girly" but just "girly enough" you know? We've painted...twice...and are on our fourth set of living room curtains. Haha.

Intervention!!???!!

I am so glad you posted a Jen Hatmaker post. I want her to be my young, hip, Jesus-loving Fairy Godmother. Haha.
