Hard to believe the first weeks of kindergarten are in the books for Lexi. Time to
start thinking ahead. We’ve recreated the classroom at home and Lexi has been working on her
@CHET529 Dream Big! Competition submission for a chance to win a 529 college savings
account contribution.

a chance to win money for higher education.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-l8PNMX5F6QU/YT_xal0OQ1I/AAAAAAAAFkA/pJOEhA_1L5E-ENVTs_WZxC0kExE0JzOKgCLcBGAsYHQ/s800/chetdreambigcompetition_02.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="600" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-l8PNMX5F6QU/YT_xal0OQ1I/AAAAAAAAFkA/pJOEhA_1L5E-ENVTs_WZxC0kExE0JzOKgCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/chetdreambigcompetition_02.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div><br />I asked Lexi what she will do when she grows up, after college (“When will I go to college,
Mom?) to help others in her community (What does community mean?) and after a bit of
explaining she knew her plan… teach others to dance. “Dancing makes people happy!” She
drew the cutest picture of herself as a dance teacher with her students on our chalkboard.

I was looking for a "big" gift for Chase and definitely identified some popular choices and themes thanks to you. After all of the feedback paired with my research, I decided to get Chase the Paw Patrol Tower and Cat Ride on. I can't wait for him to wake up on Christmas morning to play with them!</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Many of the suggestions we already have for Chase and big sis, so I can personally vouch that they would be great for your littles around this age. The front runner was a <a href="https://rstyle.me/+eo7taAvrwlpd3A-Bf9vmXA">scooter</a>, which we have and love. It was our "big" gift for Lexi a few years ago at this age. Lexi and Chase both get a lot of play out of our kitchen and food items (the ice cream has been a hit), Magnatiles and the tool set.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Not pictured.... train tables were also popular by boy moms (Thomas highly recommend) so we need to make some room for one in our basement. <a href="https://rstyle.me/+cVNQzPe-VwLi5LzaAILvPA" target="_blank">Kitchens</a>, <a href="https://rstyle.me/+1ksC9ES16UWBzgR_mPtTgA" target="_blank">slides</a> and <a href="https://rstyle.me/+jX4Xul59oRX9YXYxQKE16w">coaster</a> were other suggestions. KiwiCo, a subscription-based project box, was another great gift idea. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Aa-90iVZFK8/X87l9b5f--I/AAAAAAAAFDY/sReCqle2Nnw8XVb78sq2YNJvCgrQ5ZaVACLcBGAsYHQ/s800/toddlerboygiftguide_scooterhelmet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="600" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Aa-90iVZFK8/X87l9b5f--I/AAAAAAAAFDY/sReCqle2Nnw8XVb78sq2YNJvCgrQ5ZaVACLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/toddlerboygiftguide_scooterhelmet.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://rstyle.me/+eo7taAvrwlpd3A-Bf9vmXA">Micro Kickboard Scooter</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B4WJhTWOnAU/X87nvr69DqI/AAAAAAAAFDw/WV7v3HnVNGYBtbkI-d9BnMxPG3gvxfvuACLcBGAsYHQ/s800/toddlerboygiftguide_baseballtee.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="600" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B4WJhTWOnAU/X87nvr69DqI/AAAAAAAAFDw/WV7v3HnVNGYBtbkI-d9BnMxPG3gvxfvuACLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/toddlerboygiftguide_baseballtee.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://rstyle.me/+eo7taAvrwlpd3A-Bf9vmXA">Baseball Tee</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-f3Q-GvhshbY/X87mlzILMTI/AAAAAAAAFDg/qtZ-Ix1W0-c6Wg_GEa4s3f3h7z2ChYgIwCLcBGAsYHQ/s600/toddlerboygiftguide_brudertrucks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-f3Q-GvhshbY/X87mlzILMTI/AAAAAAAAFDg/qtZ-Ix1W0-c6Wg_GEa4s3f3h7z2ChYgIwCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/toddlerboygiftguide_brudertrucks.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Be on the lookout for German made Bruder trucks at Home Goods.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v38qcHHefSo/X87pZau1WUI/AAAAAAAAFD8/l3Bpon5otoUpDd9AItRtztVPI2Dv5zS-wCLcBGAsYHQ/s700/toddlerboygiftguide_carstrucks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="700" data-original-width="600" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v38qcHHefSo/X87pZau1WUI/AAAAAAAAFD8/l3Bpon5otoUpDd9AItRtztVPI2Dv5zS-wCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/toddlerboygiftguide_carstrucks.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Always with truck in hand :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Happy shopping!</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>Lindsay // Vineyard Loveknotshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17353887388840608052noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5036107010290280424.post-1804239106623676562020-11-16T00:01:00.006-05:002020-11-16T08:49:53.212-05:00November Edit: A few of my favorite things!<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VCxso2nl0SM/X7IHX46zaSI/AAAAAAAAFBE/f3hB9nKwFvkOAHIip80Tpd8cJ_HJ5lE8gCLcBGAsYHQ/s957/novembereditfavoritethings.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="957" data-original-width="800" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VCxso2nl0SM/X7IHX46zaSI/AAAAAAAAFBE/f3hB9nKwFvkOAHIip80Tpd8cJ_HJ5lE8gCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/novembereditfavoritethings.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://rstyle.me/+xj2BcFXQmR_N1DJsWgre5g" target="_blank"><b>Asha Laurel Climber Earrings</b></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Santa, can you hear me?</div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://rstyle.me/+1FgcW4PdTqKZLQCEwZMyiA" target="_blank">H&M Fine Knit Sweater</a> </b></div><div style="text-align: center;">One of my most worn sweaters this fall at a great price point.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://rstyle.me/+dNd76uMiaTwN8glaAHdBzg" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://rstyle.me/+dNd76uMiaTwN8glaAHdBzg" target="_blank">J.

My top hair care products... many tried and true that I have been using for YEARS!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">1. <a href="https://rstyle.me/+2oUrYneLK5M9Pb62ROftFw" target="_blank">Fanola No Yellow Shampoo</a></div><div style="text-align: left;">For my fellow "blondes" - I use this shampoo once a week to keep my color bright and cut any brassiness - I have tried several purple shampoos and this has been the most effective. The downside is that it is very drying.... so on the days I use this I will leave my conditioner in longer and make sure I let my hair air dry as long as I can before using any heat. Whenever I stop using it, there is a notable difference when I'm due for color. (This was recommended to me by Erin Coyle - balayage extraordinaire and owner of <a href="https://www.haircanvassalon.com/" target="_blank">Hair Canvas</a> in Milford, CT.)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">2. <a href="https://rstyle.me/+5R46ywiYBkeWrWqC17xmMQ" target="_blank">Revlon One-Step Hairdryer</a></div><div style="text-align: left;">Honestly I don't know how I lived without this. If I could only have one hair tool, this is it. I try to let my hair air dry for as long as possible - I don't recommend using it on really wet hair (a tip that several people shared with me on IG). I also use it when my hair needs a refresh after a non-washing day, and it brings it back to life. My only complaint is that it does get really hot - so I will take a break occasionally and use my Dyson dryer, which I find the least damaging of all dryers. It's just more work because I have to use a round brush, etc. Jump down to #10 for more!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">3. <a href="https://rstyle.me/+Ott-v8mMK1OseWWgny6u3w" target="_blank">Conair Instand Heat Travel Rollers</a></div><div style="text-align: left;">Before I discovered the Revlon tool, I would use these curlers to add volume and smooth out my hair. I still occasionally use these when my hair is feeling flat, or I'm taking a break from the Revlon dryer. I've been using rollers since I was little, thanks to my mom. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">4. Oribe Gold Lust <a href="https://rstyle.me/+C-V23wkeqAJ-YMiYhhPCTw" target="_blank">Shampoo </a>& <a href="https://rstyle.me/+x-ld_83w29UjDpGljHf7bQ" target="_blank">Conditioner</a></div><div style="text-align: left;">Worth. The. Spluge. I have several favorites when it comes to shampoo and conditioners, and often rotate, but will always come back to this set. I love how Oribe products smell... my bff is a fragrance chemist and got me unexpectedly got me hooked on the <a href="https://rstyle.me/+GIM0_gwX6A52gNqrSAHjAw" target="_blank">perfume</a>.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">5. <a href="https://rstyle.me/+1A1EhsvU-yRBclc9oxLE3w" target="_blank">Oribe Supershine Cream</a></div><div style="text-align: left;">If I'm not using #8, it's this. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">6. <a href="https://rstyle.me/+-KY5xOR7LwG8JRkcArvabw" target="_blank">Bed Head Headrush </a></div><div style="text-align: left;">I have been using this spray forever (college) before my straightener.. way too many years to count because it was a favorite of my longtime stylist, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/southburystylist/" target="_blank">Nicole Marie Salon</a> in Southbury, CT. Love how it smells too. I can typically find it at TJ Maxx or Marshalls. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">7. <a href="https://rstyle.me/+XApdpb79d1jzawZyyBvPTA" target="_blank">Oribe Gold Lust Dry Shampoo</a></div><div style="text-align: left;">I have a few favorite dry shampoos... but if I could only choose one it would be this.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">8. <a href="https://rstyle.me/+bBsV99rTtl7GQQ0hWEmORw" target="_blank">Olaplex No.6 Bond Smoother</a></div><div style="text-align: left;">I've been using a teeny tiny amount of this before blow drying... I can't believe how it's almost transformed my hair. Just give me all of the Olaplex products, please!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">9. <a href="https://rstyle.me/+HGdqs2W8PBp3-wG1mvQCJg" target="_blank">Mason Pearson Travel Brush</a></div><div style="text-align: left;">Noted they are ridiculously expensive and I really want a full size someday.... this is a test to see if Ted ever reads my posts. They say these last forever, though! The boar bristles keep your hair smooth and shiny. Always in my bag... 10+ years and counting. (PS - Wait for Anthro to have a 20% off sale to purchase this one...)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">10. <a href="https://rstyle.me/+VsjZcP2MS9LqjX-EaS_TTQ" target="_blank">Dyson Hair Dryer</a></div><div style="text-align: left;">After using my friend's on a trip, I was hooked. I couldn't not get it. Sometimes I wish I never even tried it, ha. You can save by purchasing a <a href="https://rstyle.me/+2NBs6_2RsfWzc3BhHtQnIg" target="_blank">refurbished one</a> (12 month warranty) from an authorized dealer. I would love to hear from anyone that has tried the <a href="https://rstyle.me/+ObyxUKLoub2xQ0Ap3L_3JA" target="_blank">Dyson Styler</a> and how it compares to the Revlon tool.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">11. <a href="https://rstyle.me/+MdMxGroIOXgWTuJyWhxhOA">L. Erickson Pony Tair Holders</a></div><div style="text-align: left;">Minimal creasing in my experience. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">12. <a href="https://rstyle.me/+Qwp_vDxW7PCzMCzkX89awA" target="_blank">Chi Straightener </a></div><div style="text-align: left;">OG. Notably missing from this list was my straightener, I had to go back and add it. I have been Chi loyalist since college. I have a dual voltage so that I can travel internationally with it anywhere (remember those days...).</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>Lastly... I forgot to number the cheap clips. I have tried some fancy ones, but nothing beats a <a href="https://rstyle.me/+MP4lLD_f409CuLm4izuhzw" target="_blank">basic butterfly clip</a> IMO!</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="677" data-original-width="500" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nuvEeauCLVM/X5ZD9BylkqI/AAAAAAAAE-Q/U1pZGblS0iY1xLy_TgLi5vqLa6o48GTtgCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/nicolemariesalon_southbury.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Mask: <a href="https://rstyle.me/+5xQ5ObqU1eHcpZXh_3X-IQ" target="_blank">Lele Sadoughi</a>.

<br />
A top question that I get is where I shop for kids clothes... I get a lot of great deals at Gap (I also have their card, it's worth it!). It's harder as Lexi gets older to find unisex jackets to pass down to Chase, but this <a href="https://rstyle.me/+S1uTvbX9d8IWS0x6fQ3-nw">yellow rain jacket</a> is a classic and I love the striped lining.<br />

I also ordered Chase this vest. A similar style sold out last year and it took me awhile to find one in store. Patagonia vibes for better price.<br />

We are approaching Chase's 2nd birthday (just a few weeks away!) and I realized that I never posted pictures from this little guy's first birthday celebration. It seems like yesterday he dug his little fingers in that Funfetti cake with Lexi right by his side. </div>

If you follow me on Instagram you know that I hit up the <a href="https://rstyle.me/+ljnt163sNjajaODvD57-NQ" target="_blank">Nordstrom Anniversary Sale</a> Beauty section at the SoNo Collection last week. The beauty deals can't be beat! For once I stuck to the plan... we'll see what happens. Below is what I came home with along with a few of my other favorite products that are part of the sale. There are also several sets and candles that make great gifts. The sale opens to all cardholders this Thursday and everyone next week. For those of you that are local, there are some great in store events coming up that I'll highlight next week. </div>

This is one of my favorite Nordstrom Anniversary Sale beauty items that I have bought for consecutive years. I keep this in our master bathroom and both Ted and I use it. It's such a great deal. When we run out I just can't justify the price so always wait for this sale. I've also bought the <a href="https://rstyle.me/+ulkU6JWN0T76yosG2ecl3Q" target="_blank">Jumbo Grapefruit Bath & Shower Liquid Body Cleanser</a> in the past for us to share. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Happy Friday, friends! After I wrapped up work today I went to <a href="https://rstyle.me/+HQ5ihXVLf09fW2g5zGa8dQ" target="_blank">Nordstrom</a> at the SoNo Collection in Norwalk for my first of many <a href="https://rstyle.me/+ljnt163sNjajaODvD57-NQ" target="_blank">Anniversary Sale</a> shopping trips. I always say I'm just going to get a few things... and it escalates. Quickly. I'll take you along for the shopping ride over the next week.<br />
<br />
The sale is currently open to certain Nordstrom cardholders ... you can get all the details <a href="https://rstyle.me/+ljnt163sNjajaODvD57-NQ" target="_blank">here</a> and when you can shop. I've been building up my wishlist online.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
---</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
First things first: <a href="https://rstyle.me/+2RDCLe_5Ku25ureUYwUTmA" target="_blank">activewear</a>. The only place I consistently go outside of my house is Pilates.... I hit the studio early in the morning and usually just keep my gear on while I work from home. And let's be honest, even if I don't workout it's what I'm wearing 99.9% of the time now. I have found that these items always sell out early... so get your hands on them while you can. Zella, Alo and Sweaty Betty were my highlights.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="613" data-original-width="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9cfgL7yyPj4/Xy4Xk-XGcBI/AAAAAAAAEzM/GCYb3lfQlMUubVCzwCFDqAWgryri_BgswCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/ZellaLiveInPerformanceJacket.jpg" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://rstyle.me/+nc1cnXI6c9lW71vLB4PF6A" target="_blank">Zella Live In Performance Jacket</a> </div>
<br />
I came home with this zip up. Such a great staple for $49.90 ($89.00 after sale)! I have a similar style from lululemon and it's time for a replacement.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="600" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_gvfbVcGUG0/Xy4JFH3SiWI/AAAAAAAAEyg/mFO8eMMG0vYy3g5Y-MKCs_zIOvGfwvJKwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/nordstromanniversarysale_activewear_04.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://rstyle.me/+d6y_LQKkBDeUqpxZcU1mCA" target="_blank">Sweaty Betty Fast Track Jacket</a> / <a href="https://rstyle.me/+PwGSwuz_srL5sfW7mtOZFg" target="_blank">Zella Studio Lite High Waist Print 7/8 Leggings</a></div>
<br />
I went back and forth on this one but ultimately decided on the black zip up because of the pockets. However, I loveeee this color and if you are a runner it would be perfect for the elements and it has a fold away hood. Zella leggings always sell out at these sales. There are some great patterns this year.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="899" data-original-width="600" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uAZDyvMexTU/Xy4E_c32HbI/AAAAAAAAEyI/VF4wtPM-_y8qWV-oKm-EOlJmLJtV-rIXwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/nordstromanniversarysale_activewear_02.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://rstyle.me/+HustAG_ztPHBac4fIW5uuw" target="_blank">Sweaty Betty Power Workout Leggings</a></div>
<br />
Decisions, decisions. I would have come home with these if they had my size, so will be ordering online. The side pocket for my phone is a must have for me! I <i>almost</i> don't think I can buy a pair without one now.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="600" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JGq6mCWHCgM/Xy4G4W4cWwI/AAAAAAAAEyU/SlRAcUnDRk46ZUAjsqxVwqTJuWKhEEmXgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/nordstromanniversarysale_activewear_03.jpg" /></div>

</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This cropped tank is another great basic to pair with high waist leggings that comes in several colors for $24.90 ($39.00 after sale).<br />

<br />
This sweatshirt was so cozy and I love the blue shade. I could see myself living in this all fall and winter.<br />

I was wearing my Nike 270s today... they are so comfortable. Major restraint not getting this new color today, part of the sale. They would be perfect for fall!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Packing for the beach is a process... just listing everything out is exhausting! We are lucky to live close to the beach so I try to always have my bag ready to go for those sunny days or pizza dinners by the water. In a perfect scenario we just have to pack a cooler and load everything into the car. If only it was that simple.. we always forget something.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. <a href="https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/p/quest-porta-lite-beach-umbrella-20queuqstdlxbchmbrec">Quest Porta-Lite Beach Umbrella</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have to love that the first thing on my list is the one thing we don't have have and need... love this color combo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. <a href="https://rstyle.me/+Z4qUAhqIgZbyDTukcKbJCA" target="_blank">Rio Beach Chairs</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The chairs we have from Amazon are currently out of stock but will likely be back if you keep watch. I also have some beach chairs for the kids (Home Goods)... if I pack them they never sit in them and if I leave them at home they ask about them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. <a href="https://rstyle.me/+AOsw7NNX8yazSWDhtE1kVg" target="_blank">SCOUT Pleasure Chest Soft Cooler</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tall enough for a bottle of wine (4, to be exact). A recent purchase and it has already gotten so much use. There is a <a href="https://rstyle.me/+Fz1Uxj-ppSveS1pGGcfm2g" target="_blank">larger version</a> available that also looks great. If you are local, you can find them at Palmer's.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. <a href="https://rstyle.me/+AOsw7NNX8yazSWDhtE1kVg" target="_blank">Martha Stewart Collection Ombre Triangle Beach Blanket</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have a fold up blanket from Target and this was the closest match I could find. Anything to save room!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. <a href="https://rstyle.me/+W-JB0ejKUq3sB2CnkMMozg" target="_blank">Lands' End Extra Large Tote</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have the <a href="https://rstyle.me/+fS6OdJal5jXwDyS7XKNryg" target="_blank">LL Bean version</a>, but love how this one has a side pocket. What's in there? Towels, sunscreen, baby power (to remove wet sand), hairbrush, diapers/wipes, wet/dry bag and change of clothes the the kids, dry snacks, paper plates/napkins/garbage bags and a spray bottle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6. <a href="https://www.partycity.com/beach-sand-shovel-841666.html" target="_blank">Beach Sand Shovel</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sadly we lost Lexi's large shovel, I have to head to Party City to pick up a couple of these. It's been hard to find a replacement! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
7. <a href="https://rstyle.me/+4oqF6AMYWnjHHO6LUjFsPg" target="_blank">AmazonBasics Cabana Stripe Beach Towels</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Staple. I haven't had to replace our towels yet but these look like a great option. I also have these <a href="https://rstyle.me/+obokf6QR-px3-dOuUCrFFw">microfiber towels</a> for the kids that pack up small. Personally I like a plush towel on my beach chair so bring both. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
8. <a href="https://rstyle.me/+3ouWjbXZtiTbxCFSwuPcKQ" target="_blank">O2COOL Elite Handheld Misting Fan</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A big hit with the toddlers and also keeps you cool. Win win. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
9. <a href="https://rstyle.me/+mJDt7LwTDaleA1T_RPWRRg" target="_blank">Mac Sports Collapsible Folding Outdoor Utility Wagon</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I woke up in the middle of the night to order the Vineyard Vines for Target wagon... if I hadn't purchased that this would be the one I would get! My best beach purchase.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
10. <a href="https://rstyle.me/+63FBkLOaGFRZX-Nk5_Nesg" target="_blank">Sun Squad Carry Bucket Set</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can never have enough beach toys. I have bought mine at Target, CVS, and Home Goods. </div>

<a href="https://rstyle.me/+Xjs17iQu907e7hJpUrR3Ew">La Roche-Posay Kids Sunscreen Lotion</a><br />
<br />
<span style="text-align: left;">These are my favorite sunscreens for the kids and I often use them also to make packing easier. </span><br />

<a href="https://thecaliforniabeachco.com/" target="_blank">The California Beach Co. Tent</a><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Last year when Chase was under a year old, we used this tent at the beach. I bought it at the end of the summer for a trip - we knew we would be spending hours at the beach at a time. I was hesitant not knowing if I would use it in the future when he was older... now it's in the backyard as a fort by both kids (almost 2, 4) and was definitely worth it. Love that the side opens up - you can keep them contained or open it up so they can come and go as they please.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
One of the best tips I have learned is to use baby powder to remove wet sand. It absorbs the moisture and sand easily brushes off. (My friend Claire at <a href="https://www.homewiththewileys.com/" target="_blank">Home With The Wileys</a> also suggested a wide soft paint brush - great idea!)<br />

Ted and I love seafood, especially a raw bar, so were excited to make our own at home with a delivery from <a href="https://bit.ly/2BSIDxz">Val's Ocean Pacific</a>. We've been trying a lot more on our own at home since dining out with friends and family isn't quite back to normal. I covered our turkey platter with crushed ice since it was the largest serving dish I have. Otherwise, any large dish that has some depth would work.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
While picking up condiments Ted found this tool at Whole Foods - you can buy on Amazon. Makes it a little easier to shuck than using just a cloth (so I observed).<br />
<br />
As for the other prep, the crab was already cooked and arrived frozen so we just allowed it to thaw in the refrigerator. We thawed and cooked the shrimp earlier that day and allowed time to cool in the refrigerator before serving.<br />
<br />

<br />
Trader Joe's seafood cocktail sauce is really tasty and happens to be low in sugar compared to others.<br />
<br />

No room for the shrimp on the platter, I was pretty impressed with Ted's separate display. He knows I take my tablescapes seriously.<br />

We are very fortunate to have family to visit at the beach on Cape Cod. With lighter traffic due to COVID-19, we are taking advantage of the open road and heading up more frequently. Here are a few of my favorite snaps from the weekend... many already shared on IG stories but with some additional commentary :)</div>

We had a water table shipped directly to the Cape house.... nothing seems to entertain them more than this and a hose. This table is smaller than the one we have at home (<a href="https://rstyle.me/+3NQcFWDVQu2g4L1i5vatrg">Step 2 Rain Showers Splash Pond Water Table</a>) but worked out fine and was cheaper. I ordered it immediately after a friend told me water tables were selling out online. </div>

This picture of me is deceiving... I barely sit still at the beach and pretty sure that beer was spilled. The kids are always running off in different directions. My LL Bean tote back is the largest size and I love it for the beach. I'm going to do a round up of everything that we pack in an upcoming post. </div>

My friend bought these pool slides and told me how much she loved them. I've worn them just about every day since they arrived.

Finally... the sun came out in Connecticut after a rainy and cloudy week. On Sunday we worked on our planters and window boxes. Last fall we replanted the center boxwood shrubs into the backyard and dug them up to use again. (Obviously by "we" I mean Ted.) No excuse this spring not to water them daily in the morning, since we are both home. Hoping the ivy and petunias grow and cascade out of the boxes.<br />

I have cut back significantly on shopping for myself during quarantine... sneakers, sweats and skincare have made the cut. Can't say I have used any makeup other than CC Cream lately, but I'm focusing on my skincare regime now and trying to combat the toll stress has taken on my skin. The <a href="https://rstyle.me/+EKAY6WhS7O4MRf-_M_FjGg" target="_blank">Sephora</a> Spring sale is on... one of the most popular beauty sales. It's been a hot topic on Zoom calls lately, so rounded up my favorites and you can always save for later.<br />

Not all of the products I use are available at Sephora ... so more beauty posts to come.<br />
<br />
<b>SKINCARE</b><br />
<a href="https://rstyle.me/+es-ZCTmh5JtR5JcP4OJM4Q" target="_blank">KATE SOMERVILLE ExfoliKate Intensive Pore Exfoliating Treatment</a> 1x a week exfoliator... I haven't used this in a couple years but the quarantine is clogging my pores!<br />
<a href="https://rstyle.me/+Bc6vFYpXdtdxZ8EgW-Pm1w" target="_blank">DRUNK ELEPHANT Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser</a> Hands down my favorite cleanser... I was immediately hooked.<br />
<a href="https://rstyle.me/+Ul-fA3ZUR3dTS7rVZy66cw" target="_blank">DRUNK ELEPHANT Protini Polypeptide Moisturizer</a> I tried this last year to replace some Beautycounter products and loved it... light and great pump dispenser.<br />
<a href="https://rstyle.me/+GDVd4Py-FoMDE7X2duO1zg" target="_blank">SEPHORA All Day Hydrator - Hydrate & Glow</a> I got several samples of this and used it while I traveled last year... I thought it was Drunk Elephant by the packaging and was surprised to learn it was the Sephora brand. If I had never tried DE, I would order this.<br />
<a href="https://rstyle.me/+bxadCfPIIZrxG8-IFv57HQ" target="_blank">ERNO LASZLO Multi-Task Eye Serum Mask</a> Obsessed with these eye masks for a pick-me-up! They also would make great a great gift.<br />
<a href="https://rstyle.me/+ussx3jOHssz6oZuNUcDENA" target="_blank">TATA HARPER Resurfacing BHA Glow Mask</a> Year after year I go back to this mask. My skin always looks glowy after... was bummed that it was sold out but putting on my list in case you see it in a set! I love all Tata Harper products.<br />
<br />
<b>HAIR</b><br />
<a href="https://rstyle.me/+1ta9f8OLbVfuPQpzNGvd9w" target="_blank">HUM Hair Sweet Hair Growth - Vegan Gummies</a> I started taking these consistently while I was working from home.<br />
<a href="https://rstyle.me/+_CB5nPRcMvRVq4RK8ENKgg" target="_blank">DRYBAR Detox Dry Shampoo</a> Always in rotation - I switch up my dry shampoo pretty frequently but always come back to this one.<br />
<a href="https://rstyle.me/+0kaz64LJ8kJ06o3BoTn1gg" target="_blank">DYSON Supersonic Hair Dryer</a> I wish I had never borrowed my friends... once I tried it I had to have it. It cuts drying time down significantly and is less damaging on your hair.<br />
<br />

<br />
It's been a couple weeks since Lexi's 4th superhero themed birthday at home. We certainly weren't planning to celebrate under quarantine circumstances with just our little family.... I did everything I could think of to make it special with surprises throughout the day.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="622" data-original-width="600" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ykcY2ueZAWM/Xpddv32FesI/AAAAAAAAEeM/D6lj9BasmgEmZaA9iAyPIMBUpYQw2PSewCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/girlsuperherobirthday.jpg" /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When I asked Lexi what kind of birthday she wanted to have back in January, she told me PJ Masks. I wasn't sure if that would still be her favorite show by April, so sold her on a pink and purple superhero theme. </div>
<div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
We decorated the kitchen for a special breakfast of chocolate chip pancakes and had her superhero <a href="https://rstyle.me/+I0CJlh8MiqhDIfLZlanBog" target="_blank">cape</a> and <a href="https://rstyle.me/+uV0qreSY-SlkeI-kyyxJHQ" target="_blank">accessories</a> waiting for her. I absolutely love how her <a href="https://rstyle.me/+I0CJlh8MiqhDIfLZlanBog">personalized cape </a>turned out! I wasn't going to let the decor go to waste, ha.<br />

Lexi's rainbow layer explosion cake is from <a href="http://dimarepastry.com/" target="_blank">DiMare Pastry Shop.</a> It was delicious! The <a href="https://rstyle.me/+4hdXMegSAET44sHInbPqMg">toppers</a> were intended for her party cupcakes.<br />

Thanks to family and friends for all the gifts to keep this little girl occupied while she is at home. She was thrilled with new toys, clothes and art supplies. A few friends even drove by to wish her a happy birthday and drop off gifts, which she loved.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lexi missed having her grandparents to celebrate. We FaceTimed with Ted's parents and since mine are local they drove over. They stayed in the car while Lexi and Chase ran around in circles and watched them play. She loved seeing them, but it made me incredibly sad not to be able to give them a hug. Standing in the driveway 6-feet away while Lexi and I showed them the cake will be a long lasting Covid-19 memory. </div>

The big gift from Mom and Dad was a purple bike. It looks like Lexi is flying down the street with her cape in the wind... but she actually was screaming "Help! I can't move!" She's finally "getting the hang of it" as she says and enjoying her bike. </div>

A few thank yous to her friends for thinking of her on her 4th birthday. Dropping them off in mailboxes turned into a much needed activity to get out of the house. </div>

Wild Cod Tacos</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm excited to share an easy recipe for a family meal with you, courtesy of <a href="https://www.hearth-wellness.com/" target="_blank">Hearth Wellness</a>. Julie, the founder, is a certified Holistic Health Coach and is a wealth of knowledge for busy mamas like herself.<br />
<br />
Personally, I have struggled with what to feed my kids since we passed the puree stage and it's even harder with two picky eaters. (Maybe it's because I can barely pick out or decide on what I should eat for dinner!) This meal is one you can make for yourself and deconstruct for each family member. If fish isn't for you, you can swap in a different protein.<br />
<br />
Julie is a popular resource in my community but you don't have to be local for a coaching session. She offers a <a href="https://www.hearth-wellness.com/events-and-workshops/virtualkidshealthyeating" target="_blank">30-Minute Virtual Kids Healthy Eating Consultation</a> with her go-to tips, meal prep ideas for quick weeknight meals and her favorite healthy kids recipes. Convenient now wherever you are, given the times.<br />

I know from <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hearthwellness/" target="_blank">following Julie on IG</a> she is also a frequent Trader Joe's shopper. Personally, I love when people share their TJ hauls and show the packaging because it makes my shopping easier since it's my grocery store of choice. I was finally able to find all of the ingredients on my last weekly run. I went with frozen wild cod. First time I have tried this Chile Lime seasoning, yum!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i>Love these <a href="https://rstyle.me/+R7lQ0gp-OpNqTeNBeRvLiA" target="_blank">divided plates from Target!</a></i></div>
<br />
Ted and I loved the tacos. Chase at least tried everything on his plate - which was a win for me. He had never tried black beans or cod before. Lexi didn't want to eat anything at first but ended up finishing most of her plate. She even asked for fish a few days later. See the recipe below!<br />
<br />

<br />
Despite being a decent cook, not everyone loves what I make for dinner! As a mom of two little ones, this is a reality that I have learned to accept. But, my goal is for all of us to sit down to a nice family meal a few times a week, and for several reasons, I want to avoid being a short order cook.<br />
<br />
So, I come up with a meal idea and deconstruct a version of it for my kids! I’m in charge of making the decisions on what’s being served (and take into account their likes and dislikes), and then my kids then decide how much they’ll eat. This ensures they will always have something nutritious on their plates and builds an understanding about how dinner works and minimizes mealtime stress. It is also particularly useful in providing my kids’ exposure to new foods and an opportunity for us to show them what we like to eat!<br />
<br />
Check out this recent fish taco meal, and how I break it down:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>WILD COD TACOS</b></div>
<br />
<b>Ingredients: </b><br />
1-1.5 lbs wild caught cod filets (the thinner the better)<br />
Quinoa and whole wheat tortillas (or similar)<br />
Organic shredded Mexican cheese<br />
Trader Joe’s organic shredded green and red cabbage (or chopped fresh)<br />
1 can organic black beans, drained<br />
1 avocado<br />
1 large sweet potato, roasted<br />
Organic avocado oil<br />
Trader Joe’s chili lime seasoning<br />
Adobo seasoning (or cumin/paprika/chili powder also work well)<br />
<br />
<b>Main Dish</b><br />
1. MEAL PREP: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise and transfer to a baking sheet. Drizzle with a little avocado oil and massage to coat. Place cut side down on the baking sheet. Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until caramelized on the edges and when you press on the top of the potatoes they have a little give. If prepped ahead, keep them covered in the fridge for up to three days.<br />
2. Pat the fish dry with a paper towel and season on both sides with chili lime and adobo. Preheat a large skillet over medium high heat and add some avocado oil. When pan is hot, add fish and don’t move it for about three minutes — this helps get a good browned crust! Flip filets and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until just cooked through. Remove from heat.<br />
3. Meanwhile, heat black beans in a small pot on the stove for about 5 minutes, being careful they don’t get too soft and break up. If needed, reheat the sweet potato with a little oil on a skillet.<br />
4. Once fish is done cooking, carefully break it up using a fork, into small pieces. Pop the tortillas under the broiler for a minute or two, just until they warm up.<br />
5. Divide fish among heated tortillas and top with cabbage, black beans, and avocado. Serve with a side of sliced sweet potatoes.<br />
<br />
<b>Kids' Meal Quesadillas </b><br />
1. Place a tortilla on a cutting board, and smear half of it with cooked sweet potato or avocado.<br />
2. Top with shredded cheese and add additional toppings – in this case, I made one sweet potato black bean and one avocado, black bean. You can also add small pieces of the cooked fish in too!<br />
3. Preheat a skillet with a little avocado oil. Fold the tortilla in half and place it on the skillet, cooking a few minutes each side, until the cheese is melted.<br />
4. Serve with a side of fish and sweet potato or avocado. If your little one is just getting to know fish, keep the serving size small and place it next to something they love (in this case, avocado).<br />

<b>More Tips</b><br />
All of the pieces of the meal don’t have to be the same! The goal is to get the kids used to the foods in the meal so that they can one day eat the same version as you (and you only have to cook one dinner!) If you only use one food from your version, that’s a good start!<br />
<br />
You can easily switch out the proteins in this recipe (i.e. chicken, tofu, eggs)<br />

I wear my <a href="https://rstyle.me/+NmKOmb9ddAupiv3-QIvO2A">Spanx</a> several times a week... especially in December when I basically gave up on pants with a button. They truly suck you in... and unfortunately make all other leggings feel loose in comparison.<br />
<i>UPDATE 2/5: </i><i>These leggings have been a "top seller" and I feel it's important to disclose this to anyone that turns to me for a recommendation. </i><i>Are Spanx faux leather leggings worth the price $98? While I have loved wearing my faux leather leggings, I am not happy with the quality. I own a few pairs now, and the sheen has only held up for one season while following washing instructions. Since writing this post, I have been in communication with Spanx customer service disputing the quality while following suggested care. For the price, I would expect the lifetime of the sheen to last longer. I hope to find an alternative brand and style for this look next season. Unfortunate because I love the Spanx brand! :(</i><br />
<br />
FAQ: Are Golden Goose worth the price tag? Sure, if you get your wear out of them... and only if they have glitter, leopard or a pop of something fun! If you're into the look and have the budget, go for them! I love the <a href="https://rstyle.me/+SleZ1TsMI6K4e_oMHrsLFQ">Intermix exclusives</a>. I was on the fence for awhile, but have worn them constantly since the fall.<br />
<br />

<br />
My favorite cut of the popular Dudley Stephens turtleneck is the cropped <a href="https://rstyle.me/+9jbp33bsr9wnS9x7CbMSDw" target="_blank">Park Slope</a>. It fits my shorter frame best and versatile by adding longer shirts underneath. I also have the longer <a href="https://rstyle.me/+-d18vn1pJJF7u6ZhMCuv4w" target="_blank">Cobble Hill</a> version since it covers my bum in leggings for the office. I should note they are great for keeping up with babies and tots... the vero fleece washes well!<br />

My latest purchase is this <a href="https://rstyle.me/+71uOm5NNudiPq2JEaB4FUQ" target="_blank">STIK beanie</a> that I bought at the Darien Sports Shop. Feels like winter is just beginning in Connecticut! The style color is Blacklist... which inspired this post.<br />

Last but not least... I finally caved and bought a pair of black leggings from Amazon, also known as the lululemon Align dupes. I went with <a href="https://rstyle.me/+oxsz0AUPmVVI-Z00ZhGUQw">this pair</a> (includes the pocket, very important) since they are 7/8 length, 25" inseam, and I don't have to hem them (I'm 5'2"). As for sizing, I would recommend going down and several others I was messaging with over Instagram felt the same. The legs are comparable in thickness but I do prefer the waistband of the Aligns better. Regardless, I think for $25 they are worth adding into rotation for everyday wear and light workouts. I haven't washed them but heard they hold up well. Now I'm off to find a brushed/fleece lined pair for winter paddle. Suggestions welcome!<br />

<br />
Last weekend Ted and I took Lexi (3.5) and Chase (16 months) to see <a href="https://www.disneyonice.com/" target="_blank">Disney on Ice</a> Celebrate Memories at the Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport. We all had a great time! It was a last minute decision to go and I'm so glad we did!<br />
<br />
I showed Lexi YouTube videos of similar shows leading up to the weekend, which got her very excited. Both she and Chase loved the show. Chase was clapping along and very engaged. I had several people ask me on Instagram if Lexi and Chase were the "right" age... definitely! I won't lie... will probably leave Chase home next year when he's 2 if he's anything like Lexi was at that age.<br />
<br />
A few tips...<br />
<i>Leave plenty of time to park! It took us forever to park and longer to leave since we were far up in the garage. </i><br />
<i>I wore Chase in a carrier to enter/exit the arena faster.</i><br />
<i>I wish I had packed my bag more efficiently... I found myself scrambling for things in a tight space.</i><br />
<i>The show is between 1.5-2 hours with an intermission. </i><br />

<br />
One of my favorite Disney movies from my childhood was Beauty and the Beast... so I especially loved Be Our Guest.<br />

The highlight for Lexi was Elsa... no surprise! The show ended up with the crowd favorite (judging by costume) Frozen. If you are in Connecticut, there is an upcoming show in Hartford this month.<br />

Happy New Year! Kicking off 2020 with my tablescape from the holidays. I used my grandmother's Canton reproduction dinnerware with my Juliska glassware. You can find a similar version of the plates sold at <a href="https://rstyle.me/+cKzl0-sg8fkaSNZqlizWVw" target="_blank">William Sonoma</a>.<br />

I probably sound like a broken record... but I have found that building a blue and white collection has been incredibly versatile for all of the seasons and holidays. Just switch out the flowers or tablecloth.<br />

My bar cart is an extension of my tablescape ... always coordinating! Honestly I forget about these napkins every year and it's a pleasant surprise to pull them out of a drawer to use. You can find similar versions on <a href="https://rstyle.me/+fxC9DAP6jP1Xs8VHACsHZA" target="_blank">Etsy</a> (I particularly like <a href="https://rstyle.me/+GF49rOQ-_UnTHqcBNG2fWA" target="_blank">this design</a>).<br />

These are the toys I ordered for Lexi and Chase on Amazon this morning. My cart started with the Black Friday Deal <a href="https://rstyle.me/+jDnLZew2O8p7eYoc-vXExg" target="_blank">Echo Dot Kids Edition</a> (so cute in rainbow) and <a href="https://rstyle.me/+DGzM0LCYzJAV7aotSvw9LQ" target="_blank">Cry Baby Doll</a> (stupid commerical Lexi sees all the time)... and quickly escalated. Not all are deals, but figured might as well get it done. Most of these toys were recs from friends, tried and true.<br />
