Help a girl out...

So our couch is looking quite sad these days. Although I love that it is neutral, it is very blah and not so clean either so I was thinking it needed a little refresher. I was in Pottery Barn the other day and spotted all of these yummy spring green pillows and had an idea that I need help with. What do you think about replacing the three pillows on the right with 3 of the biggest top green pillows? and then I would get a few other coordinating pillows to put on the left side of the couch as well as with the 3 to the right. How are you feeling about this? Would it look silly? Also I was wondering if any of you have had experience with cleaning your couch...have you put your cushion covers in the washing machine, had a service come clean it, had any luck with a really great carpet cleaning machine? I need input here folks; please comment, I severely lack any decorating skills as is evident with my beige couch and white walls :) please excuse the boring-ness that is my apartment!

Love this site!

I just thought I'd share one of my fav baby sites with you moms out there. I visit it every single day to check out what they have. Its www.babysteals.com They are a deal-a-day site where they have amazing things like blankets, diaper bags, toys, clothes, shoes...anything your little heart desires for really cheap prices. These are not just random brands either, they have Aiden and Anis (my cant live without blankets. I seriously use them every single day to swaddle Cohen and he LOVES them), Petunia Picklebottom, Gigi Blanket Co and tons more. Check it out if you are looking for deals on anything baby. 

Cute stuff

My tiny newborn baby is 3 months old today and I do not know where the time went! 

Cohen has practically raised himself...he is such an easy baby, I have been so blessed with him. I'll knock on wood here because I have a two year old niece who is just craziness around her house and was dubbed "angel baby" when she was born and has since proven otherwise :) Check out her own personal blog to see what I'm talking about.

At 3 months Cohen is learning to lift his head up and check out his surroundings, babbling all the time and giving me ooooo's and ahhh's, showing me the biggest smiles, especially when I rescue him from his crib in the morning, kicking and grabbing, sleeping through the night, batting his gorgeous baby blues at me and just overall being the joy of mine and Paul's life. I don't believe in karma but if I did, I'd say I'm due a sassy, onry baby next time around!

Check out those buns! He is definitely going to have some junk in the trunk when he grows up!

Easter Sunday

My dad sent me a video this morning and I thought it was so wonderful. Doesn't listening to an Apostle just give you a warm, comforting feeling?

Don't say it -- I already know...

You want to adopt/borrow/kidnap this child and have him for your very own. Well I don't blame you! He IS the most adorable little creature you'll every set eyes on. The love I feel for him every day is unbelievable. For those of you who are moms - you know. For those of you who aren't, you may think you can understand but you will find out just how hard it is to comprehend the boundaries of your heart until you are blessed with one of your own. 

Naptime buddies

STEPHANIE, THIS IS FOR YOU :)

Weekend Getaway

My brother in law Justin was competing in a 1/2 Triathlon this weekend so I was able to go down to San Diego and stay with the fam at a beach house. It was really fun to get out of the desert and go back to the ocean. The beach house was just a few miles from where Paul and I lived in Carlsbad and made me a little nostalgic for the amazing atmosphere and weather. Dave and Rachel came down one day to play on the beach....all the little cousins were so excited to see each other and were really fun to watch.

 Justin did really well in the Triathlon and it was crazy to think how many miles all of the athletes swam, ran and biked. 70.3 all together!! Way to go Justin!

Poor little big guy

Cohen went for his two month appointment on Tuesday and had to get his immunization shots. He is such a champ, barely even cried for a second and sucked the oral medication right down. He has already grown 3 1/2 inches, and now is 25 in and gained 4 lbs. He's 12 lb 13 oz now. 95th percentile for height and 75th for weight. I'm telling you, I was sent the most PERFECT child. I don't know how we got so lucky. He never cries unless he's hungry and even then a pacifier soothes him, takes naps like a champ and has been sleeping through the night for 3 weeks. He has been smiling like crazy lately and just yesterday he started cooing and talking back to us when we talk to him. I LOVE IT! Being a mom is the absolute best. Paul and I are pretty sure that because we're so blessed with Cohen that our second child is going to give us a run for our money. 

Not sure if I love these or think they're hideous...I'm torn

What do you think about these?
