pretty everything : table lamps & floor lamps

03.22.23

i am OBSESSED with lamps these days! once you start putting them all over your house, you realize your life is better and you need them everywhere. just me??? it has become a favorite cozy ritual to go around the house and turn on all the lamps when the sun starts going down and now we will almost NEVER have to turn on the overhead lights either! lamp o’clock!!!

in izzys room, i added this cute little lamp with a dimmer (EVERYTHING MUST BE DIMMABLE). before that i got a floor lamp for our living room and a teeny little pleated guy in the kitchen. now i’m thinking our bedroom probably needs a floor lamp too?? lol.

it’s a real slippery slope but if you want to incorporate some lamps into your own home, i found some good ones! table lamps, floor lamps, wall lamps, why ever stop finding cute lamps?!

my postpartum/newborn essentials

03.20.23

all of these posts i need to write but i never end up finishing them! i’m still working on the big registry post but in the meantime, here are things i couldn’t have survived without postpartum.

i tried to keep it as simple and concise as i could, there were things i may have used that i didn’t include but i think these were the most important! i included a couple that i used with arlo but not as much with izzy, because they were very different babies!

silverette cups

these are going to be my #1 recommendation always. if you are nursing, i swear by these things. you won’t need any creams, any products, the silver in these do all the healing so quickly you’ll need and once your nipples toughen up you can stop using them. 

they’re weird to wear and look ridiculous, but they work. i brought them to the hospital with me and wore them from day 1, and never had bleeding / cracking / anything. i did have some pain when they weren’t on, so i’d just make sure to wear them as often as i could and soon i was able to stop. 

WORTH EVERY PENNY! (and pretty sure you gotta get the legit expensive silver ones for them to actually work)
