Free Nursing Cover

Thank you to those who helped me pick-out a diaper bag.  I ended up going with the Biplane white diaper bag.  I know white gets dirty fast but I read the description and it says something about a wipe-clean surface. Here's hoping. Besides, I'm assuming with a baby... everything is going to get dirty anyways.

If your not sick of baby gear yet... I found a great deal on a nursing cover-up. You can go get a a FREE "Udder Cover" from UdderCovers.com. I was browsing my local craigslist.com and read someone's post about a $32. discount (the price of an "udder cover") when you put in the promo code "cranberry2" OR "onefree". Either one works. You will still have to pay their normal $9.95 shipping fee. I have no idea how long this lasts, but it is currently working.  Side note: I am not getting paid for this at all! =)
I'm hoping my little cover will come in handy when I have to breast feed and there might be a few people around who I don't feel like flashing. I ordered the Porter one because it seemed the most nonchalant, although the Elsa is super cute too. If your not expecting these would be a cute (and CHEAP!) gift for the next baby shower your invited to. I received mine in just a few days and did not have any extra charges on my card, so its not a scam. Good news to you guys.

Shopping... and diaper bags

CSN stores has extended their generosity to Rocky Bella once again! But this time, I get the benefits... sorry. They have given me a $50 gift certificate to spend at any of their online stores. I can't decide what to get. I keep getting lost in the online shopping world. There are just too many options. I think I've narrowed it down to either some some sofa pillows (I can never have enough), a diaper bag, or an accent rug for the baby room. I just can't make up my mind... I think I may be leaning toward putting my $50 towards and awesome diaper bag since I know I will need one. We are going to use some vintage airplanes in the nursery, so the middle diaper bag would go with that "theme". But I really like the other two also. Help...which one do you like better?

Lately I've been loving...

I am soooo totally loving the Liberty of London Collection at Target. They have clothes, dishes, frames, lamp shades, and ohhh so many more cute things. They have a bicyle that is to die for and soo many cute clothes. I had to pick up this darling shirt today, and I can't wait to wear it...

I made it out alive

I love Ikea, but that place can really do some damage on your wallet and nerves if you let it. There are just soo many people and none of them seem to be watching where they are going. Although I understand... they are preoccupied by all of the wonderfulness to gawk at. I made the 1 1/2 hour trip to ikea a couple weeks ago to pick up a piece of  butcher block for my kitchen counters. Remember when I was wanting to do butcher block in this post? I decided to get going on it. I will start with just one side of the kitchen, the side that only has a small 43" section of counter top. After we get our tax money manybe I will finish the main side, and get a new sink. (Keeping my fingers crossed). I will show you more of the project later on. I just wanted to show you my ikea score. I was amazed to find that they have a fabric section! Who knew? Not me. They had a section that was 75% off! I purchased some  panels that were already hemmed on each side. I turned it into two table runners. I also got some white organizing boxes for our office room and a few plants. Whew. I think I did good. I was so tempted to keep on shopping, but I held back. Kudos for me. That is a toughy at Ikea.

Rug Burn

We went to Costco last night to pick up some grub for our dinner company on Thursday night. I found a great rug for super cheap. I've been looking high and low for a LARGE rug for our living room. I didn't realize how expensive they are when you get into the large rug category (8x10ish). Costco had a bunch of 7.5'x10' rugs for $99! They say indoor/outdoor but they seem totally indoor to me. One in particular caught my eye. I really like the colors and design of it. I tried the pouty face on Ryan, but I guess we just can't buy it "right now". 

Check this lil bad boy out, or big bad boy I guess...

 

  

$99!!!! I just can't get over that. Such a great deal.

And the WINNER is...

Thank you to all those who participated in the Mrs. Meyers give-a-way.

I wrote out all of your names...

And put them in a hat...

Picked out a winner...

Congratulations Julieua. Email me at KarliHearron@gmail.com with your mailing address so I can send you your new Geranium Mrs. Meyers Hand Soap and Lotion.

Here is a side table project that I'm working on right now, the after to come soon.

Can't get enough...Anthropolgie Clearance

About a month or two ago, I ordered the cutest little tablecloth from Anthropologie (online). I waited with excitment as I knew it would be here the next Tuesday. Well Tuesday passed and so did Wednesday and Thursday. I went back to check up on my online order and what do yanno- they canceled it on me. I received a short little apology email stating that they no longer had them in stock. ("Then take it off your site!" I thought) I was not a happy camper. I had waited and waited for it to go on clearance, taking a big chance that it might never be marked down. But then...It was marked down to $49.95! from around $78. So you can imagine when they accepted and then canceled my order, I was not thrilled with Anthropologie for quite a few weeks.
And then... (drum roll please) I FOUND IT! While visiting a friend in San Fransisco I found one, tucked way back in the farthest corner of the store tucked away in a basket of clearance items. It was destiny. We were meant to be together. Okay sorry, a little too dramatic?
She came home to live in my kitchen with all my mismatched mess of chairs.

Last weekend while in Orange County visiting an ol' college roommate I found these bad boys...
I have been trying to find some really cute teacups at thrift and antique stores, but everything has been the same china pink flowers and bla. I grabbed 'em up and headed straight to the register.

They are on their website right now. Click here to be directed.

They inspire me to drink more tea instead of coffee.



They're too pretty to hide away in a cabinet. When I'm not using them they are out for all to see in my dining room.
