Our dining room didn't have much to declutter, but I felt the decor and space needed to be simplified and refined to feel homier. I started off by removing our bulky jute rug <i>(more on that to come soon!!)</i> and I have wanted a faux olive tree for a while now to replace a larger, bulkier style tree I had in the corner.<br /><br />I am <i>so</i> glad I discovered this faux olive tree from <i style="background-color: white;"><a href="https://amzn.to/3VrA97A" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">R</a><a href="https://amzn.to/3VrA97A" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ealead</a> </i>on Amazon. I chose the 6-foot style <i>(I have 9-foot ceilings!) </i>and I absolutely love the way it looks. It is such a realistic-looking olive tree featuring lifelike, lush greenery and rubber silk olives.<br /><br />I styled it by elevating it in a basket and placing faux grass on the top. The realistic, airy branches completely elevated my dining room, and it took a matter of minutes to set up. If you've been looking for an accent piece in your home, I highly recommend the <i><a href="https://amzn.to/3VrA97A" rel="nofollow" style="background-color: white;" target="_blank">Realead Faux Olive Tree</a></i>.<br /><br /><i>P.S. It's currently on sale AND there's a $10 off coupon!</i><br /><br />Happy home styling and stay tuned for a full dining room reveal soon.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidu-CvVCPXYP0FiS7hmMppojDnQMG0FOZ8YXS-5gVrB-U1JaCUxq2DR5z_wzhdjI463jk4uFsX_UqMlmvEsX_CiZqSDauWkIIyswmeY2a8qi-VEamydVKesmvcC6dfgoi8F2rub9APiP1wUI-dF0iWJqCeIEB_YTgYfw7Hor4M23bcbQ9F3R4hR2MHK54/s350/stayclassysignature.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="175" data-original-width="350" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidu-CvVCPXYP0FiS7hmMppojDnQMG0FOZ8YXS-5gVrB-U1JaCUxq2DR5z_wzhdjI463jk4uFsX_UqMlmvEsX_CiZqSDauWkIIyswmeY2a8qi-VEamydVKesmvcC6dfgoi8F2rub9APiP1wUI-dF0iWJqCeIEB_YTgYfw7Hor4M23bcbQ9F3R4hR2MHK54/s320/stayclassysignature.png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />A Classy Fashionistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07771950423021238622noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080336579787934355.post-2324347816386632922024-03-01T00:00:00.004-05:002024-03-01T23:54:32.360-05:00TODDLER BATHROOM REFRESH || BRIGHT & PLAYFUL<p style="text-align: center;"><i>A special thanks to </i><i><a href="https://posterstore.io/aclassyfashionista" target="_blank">Poster Store</a> for sponsoring this post.<br /></i><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9n9V46ub_dOZDWfdi_1IYo33rkkSbdGGOz8vIINKU6fbbqNKZV2-F_nIMkLoIRfMPrtsYQcXb96pTPO5oZswh_2e0K1Dovqc1zF1nBTr1uutptoL1L3dFkPKNdz0WiJSgtDiVr9Rr0TUlvXEjKJRSrFqeo4WFEwkUSmClUAWqzmcQ_RBbWx623K2t_RY/s4032/IMG_1232_jpg.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9n9V46ub_dOZDWfdi_1IYo33rkkSbdGGOz8vIINKU6fbbqNKZV2-F_nIMkLoIRfMPrtsYQcXb96pTPO5oZswh_2e0K1Dovqc1zF1nBTr1uutptoL1L3dFkPKNdz0WiJSgtDiVr9Rr0TUlvXEjKJRSrFqeo4WFEwkUSmClUAWqzmcQ_RBbWx623K2t_RY/s16000/IMG_1232_jpg.JPG" /></a><br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfN_FE6ALNvgmdOebeejmo_iyA9H5QClDoElktUE-tgdd8ZVVPKqIfYRZawncPmE5t4jk7K-N85C5yVZxVr4XfM9pHQenxGdvRuZD8lhgoFNusY90ZKzkZWs7Wu2PHNuIOn_83J6L8iPlBFiD5HBUb4TWKVGNSUwrFxXdP2j8bhnDk-9VvTRiVP74hdxU/s4032/IMG_1229.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfN_FE6ALNvgmdOebeejmo_iyA9H5QClDoElktUE-tgdd8ZVVPKqIfYRZawncPmE5t4jk7K-N85C5yVZxVr4XfM9pHQenxGdvRuZD8lhgoFNusY90ZKzkZWs7Wu2PHNuIOn_83J6L8iPlBFiD5HBUb4TWKVGNSUwrFxXdP2j8bhnDk-9VvTRiVP74hdxU/s16000/IMG_1229.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggARXX4801mZ9SKegyE-D_v5xfHIuxk1Hi_8qCknZRY9YymPzq86eaCQg5jTyzkEc_akxjYAM25ITFm7qXWfpA5XRc077CBR26HPQpZ_qGrkL0B89HNcYIWjjKXb6_GXLblgz3fM8fOdolUuTa47pC-qhL_jXATVz0RLIax5MPGDV1-BiIWsg2oTTmKDg/s4032/IMG_1221_jpg.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggARXX4801mZ9SKegyE-D_v5xfHIuxk1Hi_8qCknZRY9YymPzq86eaCQg5jTyzkEc_akxjYAM25ITFm7qXWfpA5XRc077CBR26HPQpZ_qGrkL0B89HNcYIWjjKXb6_GXLblgz3fM8fOdolUuTa47pC-qhL_jXATVz0RLIax5MPGDV1-BiIWsg2oTTmKDg/s16000/IMG_1221_jpg.JPG" /></a><br /><p>This bathroom used to be our guest bathroom in the hall, and don't get me wrong, guests can still totally use this bathroom, but when you have kids, everything that <i>was</i> for guests is now for them. Our guest bathroom became Bentley's, our guest bedroom became Bentley's...heck, even Chris's "man cave" turned into Bentley's playroom. <i>haha!</i><br /><br />One thing that I knew I wanted when it came to our kiddo's spaces in our home was that they'd be styled, but still bright and playful. I'm all for aesthetic beige in our primary living spaces and our bedroom, but I want their spaces to be fun because childhood should be bright and playful.<br /><br />When it came to a refresh in Bentley's bathroom, there were a few things I wanted to refresh from a couple of years ago when we switched it from our <i><a href="https://www.aclassyfashionista.com/2021/03/modern-farmhouse-bathroom-with-tile.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Guest Bathroom</span></a></i> to his <i><a href="https://www.aclassyfashionista.com/2022/04/bentleys-toddler-bathroom-decor.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Toddler Bathroom</span></a></i>. First was the rug. His original rug has gotten so dirty from it being mostly white, so I got a pretty <i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+O2qD81HIExw4Mwd_GqsDjw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">blue bath mat</span></a></i> that matches the <i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+Q6c3sdrN1hSb7-s4vPtffw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">shower curtain</span></a></i>. I also got new, fluffy <i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+9kjl1cmFLKs-3ZCu5-kw_g" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">bath towels</span></a>.</i> The towels we had in there were so worn and needed to be replaced. They were older than our house. <i>haha!<br /></i><br />Lastly, and my favorite refresh--the artwork! I am completely obsessed with the darling <a href="https://posterstore.com/p/posters-prints/happy-whale-poster/" target="_blank"><i><span style="color: #ea9999;">Happy Whale Poster</span></i></a> from Poster Store! I shared about a couple of other prints from Poster Store in our <i><a href="https://www.aclassyfashionista.com/2024/02/embracing-cozy-neutrals-primary-bedroom.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Cozy</span> <span style="color: #ea9999;">Neutrals Bedroom Refresh</span></a></i> and I can't tell you enough how much I have loved these prints, their affordability, <i>and</i> their quality.<br /><br />I'm already eyeing up a few other prints to order for our entryway, and I have one more print to share with you that's in our dining room. With the variety of options Poster Store has, you're bound to find one <i>(or several!)</i> that you'll love in your home.</p><p>Be sure to use my code: <b>KRISTEN35</b> for 35% off prints<i> (excluding personalized prints or canvas)</i>.

I feel like I've been dousing my skin and lips and moisturizers just to keep them from cracking. I've been testing this lip mask out for the past month or so, and let me tell you. It's worth it. I was so skeptical at first, but gosh, I love it <i>and</i> it feels luxurious, too!</div><p style="text-align: center;"><i><br />Two // Croc Clips</i></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br />I haven't bought new hair clips in almost ten years, so I thought that it might be finally time to get a new set. I saw these and decided to give them a try. They're non-slip, so even with my really long hair, it all stayed up and out of my face as I curled my hair.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><i><br />Three // Freeman Feet</i><br /><br />This might be the grossest, most satisfying find <i>ever</i>. Do your feet need a little love before springtime? Then I <i>highly</i> recommend trying this to get rid of any dry patches. It instantly peels and softens your feet and your dead, dry skin balls off... satisfying, but yes, absolutely disgusting. <i>haha!</i> I use it right before getting in the shower so I can clean off my feet a little easier.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><i>Four // Claw Clips</i><br /><br />Life looks differently lately with two kids, which means that my hair is pulled back most of the time.

Your body changes, your mind changes, priorities change, life itself changes…and in all this change, you begin to lose yourself…or at least who you thought you were. Thankfully moms are great at finding things—you’ll find that beautiful soul. Lost within burp cloths and onesies, but she’s there ready for life’s adventures in motherhood.<br /><br />Postpartum this time around has been a lot harder on me--both mentally and physically. I think it has something to do with the fact that I have a very energetic toddler <i>and</i> an infant. <i>haha!</i> In this hard season of figuring everything out and how to <i>survive,</i> I've been trying to rediscover myself and my personal style. It's definitely taking me a while to figure out what that looks like, but one thing I know for sure--these pants will be a staple!<br /><br />These are from <i><a href="https://notperfectlinen.com/" target="_blank">Not Perfect Linen</a></i> and they are so comfortable. They have a stretch waist but look polished for work. I wore this outfit for my team meeting this week and I felt so confident <i>and</i> beautiful. I love the slight wide leg it has, too. There are so many ways I'll be wearing these pants. I could even keep them super casual with a tee in the summertime or dress them up even further with a blazer. They are so versatile!<br /><br />Be sure to check out the <i><a href="https://notperfectlinen.com/collections/new-arrivals" target="_blank">new arrivals</a></i> from <i><a href="https://notperfectlinen.com/" target="_blank">Not Perfect Linen</a></i> -- I can't wait for spring & summer styles!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNgNC6RW7vy4IwN4dDm68ipJuG7GQwMG0Bm3zhoWfPjzcshyOd04ZkPHMRXk7FQMRUlZYdJGeu0mkPtnNWOHKavg2Xoi32nGgxYxI9e1ihxgDCrB_RGC5MrAvhfJy9YWjnCU58x4eTGBcqxm2Nkea844GGhetELVr9tudAnuEAXL1K9eA0uPRyxy2HFJ8/s350/stayclassysignature.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I can't tell you how happy it has made me to finally go through my home and organize each space. It's definitely a slow process because not only am I decluttering, but I'm taking every item out, cleaning, and then reorganizing the items that I am keeping.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">In this process, I'm learning what items I truly love, what I hate, and what I literally never used even though I kept it for <i>years</i>! It's made me realize that I only need to spend money on the essentials that I truly love...even if it means those items cost a little more, because in the long run, I'll save money since I won't be buying a cheaper product I don't love as much, and ultimately, never use.<br /><br />In the laundry room, my cabinet became a catch-all for sheets, laundry cleaners, detergents, lightbulbs, and seriously so many other random items that did not belong in there. As I went through everything, I decided that the basic sheets I was keeping were going to be stored in the linen closet in the boys' bathroom, seasonal sheets for our bed were stored under our bed in a pull-out container, and Bentley's sheets were stored in his closet.<br /><br />Putting the sheets in their proper new homes allowed me to organize the laundry cabinet in a way that made sense and I could actually function in the space. Using stacking containers really helped me utilize the height of the cabinet. In fact, I decided to lose a shelf so that I could stack items higher and use the turntable as well, and in the end, losing a shelf <i>gained</i> the cabinet space.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Not going to lie, acrylic organizers have a hold on me now. <i>haha!</i> I have become obsessed with them, but only because they have truly helped me organize my home in a way that has transformed how I <i>feel</i> in my home <i>and </i>how it looks.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It sounds silly, but I legit don't hate doing laundry anymore. It's a peaceful little space in my home and since it's not cluttered and it's light & airy, I look forward to my warm hug from the dryer.

In the first picture I'm all by myself--not a care in the world, when in reality, I have my sweet boy strapped to me. He's even snuggled up to me right now as I type this post. That's the reality of infant life if you want to get anything done at all.<br /><br />I have to tell you, working from home with an infant doesn't make you want to dress up <i>at all either</i>... like at all. But ever since I started to get dressed in the mornings <i>(okay, okay, the early afternoon),</i> I've been feeling so much better about postpartum life and how I look postpartum.<br /><br />Postpartum the second time around has been a wild ride, so embracing a casual, yet feminine style has made me feel beautiful--even when I'm just sitting at home. I know it sounds crazy to put in this amount of effort at home, but mental health has been <i>so</i> important to me in the past, and now, more than ever before.<br /><br />I've been really into wearing my dresses from <i><a href="https://notperfectlinen.com/" target="_blank">Not Perfect Linen</a></i><i>.</i> They're so comfortable and such an easy outfit to toss on. I've worn this black dress so many times now in the past couple of weeks, and I absolutely love it.<br /><br />Besides feeling put together, there are so many ways I can style it, too. I've been pairing it with a tan mock neck top, but I've also thought that if I ever need a dressier option, a white button-down would look so cute underneath!<br /><br />If you're looking to upgrade your personal style and feel good not only about what you're wearing, but how it gets made, I highly recommend checking out <i><a href="https://notperfectlinen.com/" target="_blank">Not Perfect Linen</a></i><i>. </i>I have one more new piece to style--a pair of pants, and I cannot wait to show them to you! Stay tuned and stay classy.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfU0DoKgLNOtXt8EJP-xTasgePvXN-uRtKkYkQYquYieQAM05KuqIWT6ntMLPWjHlkSE_8RVxeBTEbqgh8Y7HUJVwNdGwxzKVQsQNCp7o9RSbuPYWqNjbcEHb-OpCF7vYccTJABq_GCA_hObwCbgpG8iHYuJQWbTaaBYzVskTFKuznXtaxYsBpXJwo3BI/s350/stayclassysignature.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="175" data-original-width="350" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfU0DoKgLNOtXt8EJP-xTasgePvXN-uRtKkYkQYquYieQAM05KuqIWT6ntMLPWjHlkSE_8RVxeBTEbqgh8Y7HUJVwNdGwxzKVQsQNCp7o9RSbuPYWqNjbcEHb-OpCF7vYccTJABq_GCA_hObwCbgpG8iHYuJQWbTaaBYzVskTFKuznXtaxYsBpXJwo3BI/s320/stayclassysignature.png" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p>

I wanted to create a space that feels more like a retreat--a special place just for us that we can come to and unwind after a day of working and parenting. With both of us working from home <i>and</i> watching the boys, some days feels like we're running on empty. Having this refreshed space in our home gives us an escape that we so desperately need.<br /><br />As part of our refresh, I got us new bedding, did some <i>major</i> decluttering, and switched out our nightstand artwork. They were such simple changes but made a huge difference. I absolutely love how these prints and oak frames from <i><a href="https://posterstore.io/aclassyfashionista" target="_blank">Poster Store</a> </i>add a gorgeous, abstract touch to our space.<br /><br /><a href="https://posterstore.io/aclassyfashionista" style="font-style: italic;" target="_blank">Poster Store</a><i> </i>has a large variety of posters so you're bound to find something that fits your style. They ship extremely fast, too! Within 2-4 days in the US. I couldn't believe how fast they arrived. I was so excited and couldn't wait to change out my prints, so you know I did it as soon as they arrived!<br /><br />Be sure to use my code: <b>KRISTEN35</b> for 35% off prints<i> (excluding personalized prints or canvas)</i>.

Up next: my nightstand drawers. I shared on Instagram a Reel of organizing them, and honestly, it brings me so much joy to see all of my essentials so beautifully organized. I <i>wish</i> I had taken a photo of the before, but I got too excited to get rid of the junk that I totally forgot.<br /><br />When choosing what I wanted to put in my nightstand, I chose purposeful essentials that I knew I would need at my fingertips at night. Things that I <i>know</i> I'm too lazy to get out of bed for (<i>haha!)</i> but need nearby.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiINcPBhDVJVakDiBF4f5T0eiYlt5dvseXVgdUiDD16ddou6LF-k_z2MbnmsakPHEYNjgvsWR0gOrNqvGlE7CsGQcvTq0KTWSJUkkTJiNNyQOxdcLajX74_G8XJ-1c9smPBt2KW28v4BCxpGIsh-0XS4c1uI86DSmpk2cuw_syRBSixipFguzZumVZBwF8/s4032/IMG_0608_jpg.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiINcPBhDVJVakDiBF4f5T0eiYlt5dvseXVgdUiDD16ddou6LF-k_z2MbnmsakPHEYNjgvsWR0gOrNqvGlE7CsGQcvTq0KTWSJUkkTJiNNyQOxdcLajX74_G8XJ-1c9smPBt2KW28v4BCxpGIsh-0XS4c1uI86DSmpk2cuw_syRBSixipFguzZumVZBwF8/s16000/IMG_0608_jpg.JPG" /></a><br /><br />In the drawer closest to me, I put my vitamins, lip masks, hand lotion, hand sanitizing wipes, Gratitude Journal, and my blue light glasses. These are must-haves and are things I reach for each night and every morning, too!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQDfPBcNqjV2Qcc8oX7AzjXKDMmDup1Snygx8bjIm1CcDZQu0jQ58ZP4B_m8-kHLuF7arMKG69b7yAa7dC2YyflQ8jrULlVENQ3llBuDXlm7DQNg0ifEfXcBnAACOXd58uDtw4wd7a8vRAbjHjLrz-2cgetHtXXPaGzdj3NPBWtdkSyFZdAfBT-fq3ELk/s4032/IMG_0611_jpg.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQDfPBcNqjV2Qcc8oX7AzjXKDMmDup1Snygx8bjIm1CcDZQu0jQ58ZP4B_m8-kHLuF7arMKG69b7yAa7dC2YyflQ8jrULlVENQ3llBuDXlm7DQNg0ifEfXcBnAACOXd58uDtw4wd7a8vRAbjHjLrz-2cgetHtXXPaGzdj3NPBWtdkSyFZdAfBT-fq3ELk/s16000/IMG_0611_jpg.JPG" /></a><br /><br />In my second drawer, I put things like hair scrunchies and clips, a small jewelry organizer, a pill container that's stocked filled with headache meds, anti-acids, etc., I have my sleep mask if I need to take a mid-day nap if I was up with Gabriel all night, extra charging cords and my travel charger, and lastly, my AirPods.<br /><br />I don't necessarily need those essentials every night, but they're great to have on hand and close by should I need them.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYkOvi82Ieo36GG3wK_rf-JQQo5ZAVTU85KS7x5-MzRjrTyBFtsEEDE_3QVIzv3BdphteCle0ofdzOwGXhaCTssZY6mZUbpjPZVAOeb4xIJ-9sKwtAw-4WelWjdgSP4_fsfNXk-1Nrs2OAVwABJujrus0HK6R70_WaHhuHw8CoB3ln1xzWKr4dJkHWsmw/s4032/IMG_0616_jpg.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYkOvi82Ieo36GG3wK_rf-JQQo5ZAVTU85KS7x5-MzRjrTyBFtsEEDE_3QVIzv3BdphteCle0ofdzOwGXhaCTssZY6mZUbpjPZVAOeb4xIJ-9sKwtAw-4WelWjdgSP4_fsfNXk-1Nrs2OAVwABJujrus0HK6R70_WaHhuHw8CoB3ln1xzWKr4dJkHWsmw/s16000/IMG_0616_jpg.JPG" /></a><br /><br />I think what made the biggest change for me <i>(besides getting rid of SO much junk!) </i>was using the acrylic drawer organizers.

I'm renaming <i>sad beige</i> to <b><i>clean beige</i></b>. There's just something about having our bedroom be light, bright, and airy that is so relaxing and calming to me. It feels like I step into a luxury hotel every day and I am one hundred percent here for that.<br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">A couple weeks ago, I decided to update our bedding on a budget and found the softest duvet cover and sheets on Amazon. I haven't bought a new duvet cover or comforter in years, so it was a $30 purchase that completely transformed the space.<br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">If you're looking to update your space, but need to do so on a budget and can't spend money on new furniture, choose to update a lamp or your bedding, or even get a new print for a frame. Those simple, budget-friendly switches can make the biggest impact.<br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Another way I really updated my space was by organizing and decluttering my drawers and cabinets and I cleared my surfaces. This took my bedroom from a <i>super</i> lived-in environment to a retreat. Seeing the clutter <i>(whether useful items or not)</i> completely stressed me out, and now, I feel a sense of relief when I walk into my room because everything has a home.<br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Focus on small upgrades to turn your house into a home you truly love.<br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><i>Pin Me For Later!</i></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX8QoIal25AhfKcJTBXc6_reuJGKBa_M876KFeHSGqU2_oYuLid-f-cOv0Q6qy0TE8f5Taja070LkWzKQCScrDyTHD1HA17L-9mE9n2Mi_bdAfhEYz8_TpIQQe63r_ZTnXR3nqcv5hq4N2t_wrtsBJLYD0NGuUyyk5ahO6-FYc9Jy_lfDdkt95Ospcr1A/s2000/AClassyFashionistaBedroomFindsCleanBeigeAesthetic.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX8QoIal25AhfKcJTBXc6_reuJGKBa_M876KFeHSGqU2_oYuLid-f-cOv0Q6qy0TE8f5Taja070LkWzKQCScrDyTHD1HA17L-9mE9n2Mi_bdAfhEYz8_TpIQQe63r_ZTnXR3nqcv5hq4N2t_wrtsBJLYD0NGuUyyk5ahO6-FYc9Jy_lfDdkt95Ospcr1A/s16000/AClassyFashionistaBedroomFindsCleanBeigeAesthetic.png" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><i>Shop the Post!</i></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><i></i></b></p><center><div class="shopthepost-widget" data-widget-id="5138404"><b><i><script type="text/javascript">!function(w,i,d,g,e,t){d.getElementById(i)||(element=d.createElement(t),element.id=i,element.src="https://widgets.rewardstyle.com"+e,d.body.appendChild(element)),w.hasOwnProperty(g)===!0&&"complete"===d.readyState&&w[g].init()}(window,"shopthepost-script",document,"__stp","/js/shopthepost.js","script")</script><div class="rs-adblock"><img onerror="this.parentNode.innerHTML="Disable your ad blocking software to view this content."" src="https://assets.rewardstyle.com/production/c93c7e40010dd2eeea9416f99aff8e756ad9633c/images/search/350.gif" style="height: 15px; width: 15px;" /><noscript>JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser.

It will be a round-up of five of my favorite must-have items that I've been loving lately.<br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">For my first <i>Fash Five</i>, I'm sharing five <i>(well, technically eight)</i> Amazon Travel Finds.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><i><br />Pin Me For Later!</i></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8w_qLSssONUzqZskgLC0PMG0E3_pMaqzXMCEqBY8J5NN8EcyJpXOU8aH8nrcpa9OuRBkXf663fzVaDL2iW8020lTADkoNbALXWeWGrtM9-JrqMGalLgCrwNj1ssRsKiNd1gjlfql_Nm5ZpDV8pJUJ65iiC6vZMnjt0Or3KnJm_BHaq3ykDzv4TlNrSYQ/s1500/A%20Classy%20Fashionista%20The%20Fash%20Five%20Amazon%20Travel%20Finds.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8w_qLSssONUzqZskgLC0PMG0E3_pMaqzXMCEqBY8J5NN8EcyJpXOU8aH8nrcpa9OuRBkXf663fzVaDL2iW8020lTADkoNbALXWeWGrtM9-JrqMGalLgCrwNj1ssRsKiNd1gjlfql_Nm5ZpDV8pJUJ65iiC6vZMnjt0Or3KnJm_BHaq3ykDzv4TlNrSYQ/s16000/A%20Classy%20Fashionista%20The%20Fash%20Five%20Amazon%20Travel%20Finds.png" /></a><br /><i><br />One || Marc Jacobs Tote Bag and ToteSavvy Canvas Original Bag Organizer<br /><br /></i>I absolutely <i>love</i> my Marc Jacobs Canvas Tote bag. It was my present to myself when I switched careers--a celebration of finally quitting retail management. It became my mama tote, and it's been such a great all-purpose tote bag for me.<br /><br />You know I have to organize it with a ToteSavvy Bag Organizer and I love pairing it with the Canvas Original. It has two double-wide pockets that I use for diapers, wipes, and spare clothes. It also has a cooler pocket for a bottle, key clasp, and other various-sized pockets so I can pack all of my essentials and essentials for the boys, too!<br /><br /><i>Two // Stanley Cup and Flower Straw Topper<br /><br /></i>Trust me when I say I didn't want to love the Stanley cup. I remember my Dad having a Stanley thermos growing up, but I just kept thinking...what's with all the hype all of a sudden. Well, if you don't have one, I hate to say it, but you're missing out. I use my Stanley daily, and it's helped me actually drink water now. I even brought it to the hospital when Gabriel was born. <i>haha!</i> It's truly become my favorite water cup--I don't even reach for any others anymore.<br /><br />I also had to get cute straw covers. Call me crazy, but I'm always terrified that a spider is going to crawl into my straw at night and then I won't know it...and well, you can guess what would happen there. <i>So</i>, to avoid that, we get cute straw covers, okay?<br /><br /><i>Three // Pill Container<br /><br /></i>Let me tell you I'm getting old without telling you I'm getting old with two words: pill container. I feel like I can't go anywhere without allergy meds, antacids, medicine for a headache, vitamins...the list goes on and on. I've been keeping a stash of meds in my handbag now, and it's so convenient for when I'm on the go.<br /><br /><i>Four // Silicone Makeup Brush Holder and Makeup Sponge Holder<br /><br /></i>I originally got these for when I was traveling last summer and for the holidays, but they've become an everyday practical item now. I've been storing my daily five-minute makeup together in a makeup bag, and it's made it so easy for me to have everything all together in one spot now. I especially like that they are silicone, which makes them extremely easy to clean and sanitize.<br /><br /><i>Five // Key Fob Cover<br /><br /></i>This was totally an unnecessary purchase a year or so ago, and it's quickly become an all-time Amazon favorite find. You can find almost any car's key fob cover selection, and the gold and cream option is an easy and <i>pretty</i> way to upgrade your key fob. <br /><br /><i style="font-weight: bold;">Shop the Post!</i></div><p style="text-align: center;"><b><i></i></b></p><center><div class="shopthepost-widget" data-widget-id="5138406"><b><i><script type="text/javascript">!function(w,i,d,g,e,t){d.getElementById(i)||(element=d.createElement(t),element.id=i,element.src="https://widgets.rewardstyle.com"+e,d.body.appendChild(element)),w.hasOwnProperty(g)===!0&&"complete"===d.readyState&&w[g].init()}(window,"shopthepost-script",document,"__stp","/js/shopthepost.js","script")</script><div class="rs-adblock"><img onerror="this.parentNode.innerHTML="Disable your ad blocking software to view this content."" src="https://assets.rewardstyle.com/production/c93c7e40010dd2eeea9416f99aff8e756ad9633c/images/search/350.gif" style="height: 15px; width: 15px;" /><br /><i><br />What is your favorite Amazon travel find?</i></div></i></b></div></center><p style="text-align: center;"><b></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK_tc0DwWcPyvpiojUOwY2yGmc19LsvRLBJgY6aRKuzAYd-Dqe49Xo6xvaCAFRbIj_Q8qGTEYbn8ZSz6nM1nHOLJiGQpZmTj2PIAB7LgZycik_W2TK2ppLfx6kKA4OhkGqZtJUp-ifXjx1sOyboS8VLrgDHQ8Wk8iRRuH1wRy-ZpRD0IYVX6U3ijxTtFM/s350/stayclassysignature.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="175" data-original-width="350" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK_tc0DwWcPyvpiojUOwY2yGmc19LsvRLBJgY6aRKuzAYd-Dqe49Xo6xvaCAFRbIj_Q8qGTEYbn8ZSz6nM1nHOLJiGQpZmTj2PIAB7LgZycik_W2TK2ppLfx6kKA4OhkGqZtJUp-ifXjx1sOyboS8VLrgDHQ8Wk8iRRuH1wRy-ZpRD0IYVX6U3ijxTtFM/s320/stayclassysignature.png" width="320" /></a></b></div><p></p>

One of them is in how I look at my clothes. I've worked in fashion and luxury goods for a decade now, and one thing I always noticed was I had to have the latest styles, the <i>newest</i> trends, or something in every color. But the main thing that was missing in all of this was clothing that <i>truly</i> fit me, my style, <i>and</i> I felt good wearing.<br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGI_rdpurQInv0NzKhb_wv_Gldhs5gvYKXneEpVYnWeGlFJuT6vlCGHinQGm0L4ssNNPf-NcffcTgVDb4qyRZLNWCM1kzufrSPaSsarLNuDw6b-Q-FFN_qhtcOPnb0md4qhbWzEmxgB4BDPL2XX7W41anzKrGAzpq6XlYaB861FtFq2Iqye6sznSpd0YI/s4032/IMG_9347_jpg.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGI_rdpurQInv0NzKhb_wv_Gldhs5gvYKXneEpVYnWeGlFJuT6vlCGHinQGm0L4ssNNPf-NcffcTgVDb4qyRZLNWCM1kzufrSPaSsarLNuDw6b-Q-FFN_qhtcOPnb0md4qhbWzEmxgB4BDPL2XX7W41anzKrGAzpq6XlYaB861FtFq2Iqye6sznSpd0YI/s16000/IMG_9347_jpg.JPG" /></a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">As a work-from-home mama of two boys, I find myself reaching for simple, comfortable pieces that I look and feel beautiful in, and the majority of my closet has sat untouched for over a year. In my closet decluttering, it's out with the old, the tattered, and the pieces that no longer make me feel good wearing. 2024 is the year that I simplify <i>and</i> elevate my wardrobe by adding quality pieces that make me feel beautiful in motherhood.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif2M8-sxez6ECA29Mu8LxMaGVq82vX_h8st7LviOVvhOoTUx_NXszD8gNLKKYPCygNYDTvycQdozdTiNgXyhJ0Bz5jKRlDGC-g0mVeSdjVYnmdtOgWFHsmiJoqDySUbyJ_LWlDH-tX0W84b6akcj6oeoDkkj2m66z5YZDpoU9P-aPUf-TKaPF-5lcanY0/s4032/IMG_9330_jpg.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif2M8-sxez6ECA29Mu8LxMaGVq82vX_h8st7LviOVvhOoTUx_NXszD8gNLKKYPCygNYDTvycQdozdTiNgXyhJ0Bz5jKRlDGC-g0mVeSdjVYnmdtOgWFHsmiJoqDySUbyJ_LWlDH-tX0W84b6akcj6oeoDkkj2m66z5YZDpoU9P-aPUf-TKaPF-5lcanY0/s16000/IMG_9330_jpg.JPG" /></a><br /><br />I recently discovered <i><a href="https://notperfectlinen.com/" target="_blank">Not Perfect Linen</a></i>, a family-run brand that ethically hand-crafts each piece with high-quality, sustainable materials.

He’s been so excited to sleep in his new room and I can’t believe he’s in a big boy bed already. This room has come a long way since we first started designing it into a <i><a href="http://www.aclassyfashionista.com/2023/01/guest-bedroom-reveal-hardwood-flooring-board-and-batten-accent-wall-with-wallpaper-diy.html" target="_blank">guest bedroom</a></i> over four years ago.</span></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">At first, we had considered completely redoing his space with all new furniture but decided, in the end, to keep what we had and simply switch up the bedding and upgrade the closet to make it more functional. Sometimes it's all about simple changes like bedding that make the biggest impact anyway!</span></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">The only thing with the full-size bed that made me nervous was Bentley moving to a big bed from a crib-sized toddler bed. I ended up finding <i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+Vdtls3ePREWe8bDUChRlzA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">bed bumpers</a></i> that have worked amazing and I love that they fit right under the sheets.</span></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">We upgraded the closet from a basic builder-grade wire shelf to a PAX closet system from IKEA and it more than doubled our hanging and storage space by having it go all the way to the ceiling inside the closet as well. The only thing that I'm not a huge fan of in the closet is the step up due to our stairs being below the closet, but that's a structural change I can't do anything about.</span></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">Besides the darling new bedding, I <i>love</i> his bookshelf wall. There was originally a floor-length mirror behind the door, but a toddler and a huge mirror aren't exactly the best combination and I saw a disaster waiting to happen. I found the acrylic shelves on Amazon and they are perfect to display his books and I love that they're easy access for him at night or in the morning when he spends a little quiet time in his room before bed and when waking up. </span><span style="text-align: left;">I may have gotten obsessed with switching out the books for the seasons, too.

When you spend all of your time at your house, you want it to look beautiful, but also be completely functional for you and your family. This past week, I shared on Instagram a few products from Amazon that helped me transform my kitchen and up my organization game. Let's get started!<br /><br /><i style="font-weight: bold;">One // Spice Jars & Labels</i><br /><br />Originally, I had all of our spices in a turntable in the cabinet, and it ended up being the worst organization idea I've ever had. <i>haha!</i> We couldn't get to all of our spices, and most of the time, they'd end up falling or being stacked on top of each other.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4K-oRWHqeKNioK12CmJPL3tnKB-tjsRIkwD9i1Zzx-aaAkfx1Asg9jbD5M1C7X1iHHwbmjsWFxQ3u9cG8ttA7PSru5RUPkD2pJhwZj0WTYnTEtyr89EweKoBy0MNOqKPcy107yum3CSmilfV4y9mKgh4ec-U9V3DcZfnge6Rw3QmOX_Uy0IusI20M/s4032/IMG_5489_jpg.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4K-oRWHqeKNioK12CmJPL3tnKB-tjsRIkwD9i1Zzx-aaAkfx1Asg9jbD5M1C7X1iHHwbmjsWFxQ3u9cG8ttA7PSru5RUPkD2pJhwZj0WTYnTEtyr89EweKoBy0MNOqKPcy107yum3CSmilfV4y9mKgh4ec-U9V3DcZfnge6Rw3QmOX_Uy0IusI20M/s16000/IMG_5489_jpg.JPG" /></a><br /><br />This set of 24 glass jars with bamboo lids gave my spices the upgrade they needed. Even though I didn't get to finish all of my spices during naptime, I love how organized and beautiful this drawer looks. This set also has three different labels included, so you can pick the one that matches your home's style. I chose the square style as it matches the labels I have in our pantry.<br /><br />The only disclaimer with these jars that I will give is to double-check the labels lists and make sure you'll have everything you need. I totally didn't think about the random spice mixes we have, and of course, there's no label for them that makes sense, so they'll end up staying in their original containers--otherwise, they're perfection.<br /><i style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Two // Baggie & Foil/Wrap Drawer</i><br /><br />I am in love with these baggie organizers. If you saw my reel on <i><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CjEqw_PgvJV/" target="_blank">Instagram</a></i>, you saw how messy and unorganized it was. These baggie organizers are individual, which I personally would recommend so you can put them any way you need to fit best in your drawer.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsYmROqDUP3dEaA7zFwBgz8J7vzOan_fMK7ERy67Nwe5XdXiIq00L0yhyfglU1wQOk1oDnmwYvbL1jo-XVtHFARkz5cJWGBleH16cDF-yTGJyOrO5DEhvg7dtL1Nk9xXmYTOyaNw66khQMy3laVGC5iDv2Xr4rsOOa161hQFRTUZD1l5RVlc2Vtwju/s4032/IMG_5417_jpg.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsYmROqDUP3dEaA7zFwBgz8J7vzOan_fMK7ERy67Nwe5XdXiIq00L0yhyfglU1wQOk1oDnmwYvbL1jo-XVtHFARkz5cJWGBleH16cDF-yTGJyOrO5DEhvg7dtL1Nk9xXmYTOyaNw66khQMy3laVGC5iDv2Xr4rsOOa161hQFRTUZD1l5RVlc2Vtwju/s16000/IMG_5417_jpg.JPG" /></a><br /><br />Originally, I intended to have my wax paper, aluminum foil, and plastic wrap in an organizer as well, but once I got everything together, it ended up not fitting in my drawer and took up <i>way </i>more space than it needed. Since it didn't fit, I opted to put my foils/wraps behind the baggie organizers, which fit three perfectly, so I was excited. I then put the parchment paper to the side along with my chip clips, matches, and bamboo sticks, and I put my toothpicks for baking in a container instead of the baggie they were originally in.<br /><br /><i><b>Three // Utensil Drawer Organizer<br /></b></i><br />This drawer organizer created a kitchen utensil heaven. It's so much easier to find things I need, because we all know, in every home, utensils end up getting shoved in a drawer, and then a spoon sticks up and jams the drawer. Don't do that anymore--seriously, grab this organizer.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkWXWr5m_CcYqfHuxM2-Jqd8uSUVlps_99I9JoB0_-Ky6MGb3NFKR6xj7XAhocYSBadc3N7sTsTdTNGZAsMTKWX0pcIWgDQIUeC7wEj4n2pB6V_7m657qZyO9MubRDch2q11gJHRLBkQdclrExKijm8d9lxGcxUR73HWzvRbn__bAQAztW4omieEQy/s4032/IMG_5449_jpg.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkWXWr5m_CcYqfHuxM2-Jqd8uSUVlps_99I9JoB0_-Ky6MGb3NFKR6xj7XAhocYSBadc3N7sTsTdTNGZAsMTKWX0pcIWgDQIUeC7wEj4n2pB6V_7m657qZyO9MubRDch2q11gJHRLBkQdclrExKijm8d9lxGcxUR73HWzvRbn__bAQAztW4omieEQy/s16000/IMG_5449_jpg.JPG" /></a><br /><br />It expands to fit the width of your drawer, and if your drawer is longer like mine, you can use the back of the drawer for additional storage. One thing I love about it is that you can choose to push the center of the organizer to a specific side to give one side a little more space. I slid mine to the left to allow more space on the right so that my wider utensils would fit.<br /><br />One last awesome design function about this organizer--the front center slid to where there's a small gap where the drawer pull's screws fit right in that gap so the drawer organizer is flush against the drawer front. Most others would wabble--definitely a huge plus for me.<br /><br /><i><b>Four // 3 Tier K-Cup Carousel<br /></b></i><b><i><br /></i></b>This brand has three different sizes--3 tier, 5 tier, and 6 tier. The 3 tier carousel that I have hold 21 K-Cups. I love being able to go right into the same cabinet that has my coffee mugs and grab a mug, K-Cup, and start my coffee. It was also easy to assemble. So now, instead of having them thrown messily in where my spices are now, they have a functional and organized spot.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbVHy1ZqbpD47vVRYUlIjEe9gBvha3Vu3p8g0j8yfgGTY39BKrotfWI4Odd-4dLBWebGiDERFhn-F1YRPvJGuo04M8yg5dYGOSJXLL-OL5E6FvB8HD6aGQtoT4XCmXlB4MVeH0_l1C8DuWT_zb9cJAs9sJPsoJD9Bjf5iNcqT60lVbv2M8ynrvOmzZ/s4013/IMG_5462.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4013" data-original-width="3010" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbVHy1ZqbpD47vVRYUlIjEe9gBvha3Vu3p8g0j8yfgGTY39BKrotfWI4Odd-4dLBWebGiDERFhn-F1YRPvJGuo04M8yg5dYGOSJXLL-OL5E6FvB8HD6aGQtoT4XCmXlB4MVeH0_l1C8DuWT_zb9cJAs9sJPsoJD9Bjf5iNcqT60lVbv2M8ynrvOmzZ/s16000/IMG_5462.JPG" /></a><br /><i><br /><b>Five // Grocery Bag Holder<br /></b></i><b><i><br /></i></b>If you don't have a bag full of bags, are you even a mom? <i>haha!</i> I decided that it was time to order a grocery bag holder instead of keeping my Target bags inside of a ripping Target bag.

I wanted to have a spot for my breast pump, nursing essentials, and self-care nursing must-haves. I'm not exactly sure how this journey will go this time around, but it's definitely something that I want to try again.<br /><br />If you missed <i><a href="https://www.aclassyfashionista.com/2021/03/Feeding-my-baby-formula-made-me-better-mother.html" target="_blank">this</a></i> post a few years ago, read about my journey when Bentley was first born. Breastfeeding for many reasons was not meant to be part of our journey. Mainly due to the lack of help and assistance during a global pandemic and dealing with PPD & PPA, I made the choice that formula made me a better mother for my son. I'm not putting pressure on myself this time for mental health reasons, but I'm encouraging myself to give it another shot now that my prenatal care has been a completely different journey this time, and I'm expecting my birthing and postpartum experience to be completely different as well. Always remember, fed is best, and you do what you need to do for your sweet baby.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcUpAOBL55C9dwo6PcOwEFTEi6kphb-WVqgX-xT81m7A2Ye28EZLwSeMUPRftPPZyhd9QIogpGCJEjmSgopcCYuG0G5-PJLAbn85aQ3gpHjVNfnSP_k6GWUkolZDGjRAqK41TkQhZzqvveEwq7NBgGVBROvq9DG97KxWiKbljd7ybhxqX1YNn9rT8vdLk/s3682/IMG_3637_jpg.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3682" data-original-width="2762" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcUpAOBL55C9dwo6PcOwEFTEi6kphb-WVqgX-xT81m7A2Ye28EZLwSeMUPRftPPZyhd9QIogpGCJEjmSgopcCYuG0G5-PJLAbn85aQ3gpHjVNfnSP_k6GWUkolZDGjRAqK41TkQhZzqvveEwq7NBgGVBROvq9DG97KxWiKbljd7ybhxqX1YNn9rT8vdLk/s16000/IMG_3637_jpg.JPG" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><i style="font-weight: bold;">Shop My Post!</i></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><i></i></b></p><center><div class="shopthepost-widget" data-widget-id="5066658"><b><i><script type="text/javascript">!function(w,i,d,g,e,t){d.getElementById(i)||(element=d.createElement(t),element.id=i,element.src="https://widgets.rewardstyle.com"+e,d.body.appendChild(element)),w.hasOwnProperty(g)===!0&&"complete"===d.readyState&&w[g].init()}(window,"shopthepost-script",document,"__stp","/js/shopthepost.js","script")</script><div class="rs-adblock"><img onerror="this.parentNode.innerHTML="Disable your ad blocking software to view this content."" src="https://assets.rewardstyle.com/production/cdde74b40fc547642d1b8fe72e5103ebf6dd7253/images/search/350.gif" style="height: 15px; width: 15px;" /><noscript>JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser.

There are so many unknowns when it comes to what to <i>actually</i> pack, that in my opinion, I'd rather be slightly overprepared than underprepared. I know that the hospital has many things that are needed for postpartum care and for the baby, but trust me, going into this as a second-time mom, there are things I <i>wish</i> I had for my own comfort, things I never even touched in my hospital bag the first time, and new products I'm choosing to bring the second time around.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIEcZgxfWhUhNB1fcnGYKSsas_wjWx73ZUgNhXGOkFplYu-CJvWocawv7UzRuRGka5y_5Ok8GDRJID4_CDIiqTmHZQzJLCg3E5LwebEcf_6Purigy3qb_b15imBT37xf6C3s9ruRBhT05IenA8g1FQMGYJ-mytbxW9YAz8L97yNuXaafPmJ0hdqaYMqTQ/s4032/IMG_3583.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIEcZgxfWhUhNB1fcnGYKSsas_wjWx73ZUgNhXGOkFplYu-CJvWocawv7UzRuRGka5y_5Ok8GDRJID4_CDIiqTmHZQzJLCg3E5LwebEcf_6Purigy3qb_b15imBT37xf6C3s9ruRBhT05IenA8g1FQMGYJ-mytbxW9YAz8L97yNuXaafPmJ0hdqaYMqTQ/s16000/IMG_3583.JPG" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;">First up, let's dive into how hospital bags should be packed! I firmly believe you should have everything you need immediately in the delivery room packed in a separate bag. For me, it's my <i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+BKLb_ERBXMBHaZnI1WmmjA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Marc Jacobs The Tote Bag</a></i> with a <i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+cJnUa3wHisOjRYi6HwJ5EQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ToteSavvy Original</a></i> in Cotton Canvas to help me stay organized. I didn't have time to get my suitcase or all of my comfort items out before Bentley was born. I barely had enough time to grab my handbag and get into a room before he was born let alone be able to grab a suitcase or anything else.</p><p style="text-align: center;">The key is to have this bag be the bag you bring in with all of your immediate necessities for delivery, and your partner can worry about grabbing anything else from the car once you're in your room settled later on.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2YTlUYmiCOIWrEOvD6Bo79XI5osibbR1UvqH5D2P7ktAQYS-ZyHqH3dCBA0f_Wn63QEcC4Yf_zVhf4eCUH3YgK9WmkBjGzUScWr3tszlxlBr8sRaodI7s1_tVKvRJvSl1AXGlPy2gA2S6SK4ufForzUXcsriWiyYHe7JVZ-J9wHxt6VwI3u1d0WdGiOI/s4032/IMG_3590_jpg.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2YTlUYmiCOIWrEOvD6Bo79XI5osibbR1UvqH5D2P7ktAQYS-ZyHqH3dCBA0f_Wn63QEcC4Yf_zVhf4eCUH3YgK9WmkBjGzUScWr3tszlxlBr8sRaodI7s1_tVKvRJvSl1AXGlPy2gA2S6SK4ufForzUXcsriWiyYHe7JVZ-J9wHxt6VwI3u1d0WdGiOI/s16000/IMG_3590_jpg.JPG" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;">In my tote, I'm packing my Stanley <i>(at this point, it's a part of me haha!),</i> a portable neck fan, a Clipfolio that has my birth plan and will hold any papers, footprints, etc. we receive during discharge, a pacifier & paci holder, I'll have a few diapers & pack of wipes for the drive home, phone cord, and minimal makeup/beauty items in my FACE bag that will most likely end up inside my tote. These are the items that I know I'll want immediately and will help me throughout delivery.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigBMyCGH2ybdjk8r5QRtJTm6ddQMrW3KdA3gZjLhxgiOFtB6FEG-sgEYG-fIkwu_i1gfs1_LUzdAEWFBqbm9nDM0bn5gje3tNjL7A8Tk0jXqCbC4tXeqFJeHPa35sheyEaKNcJ_5SdU-hxWE_JC8uvUdhCUuBxG-le2KzLTbkadb2fuJ4G0LEzlOjicms/s4032/IMG_3592_jpg.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigBMyCGH2ybdjk8r5QRtJTm6ddQMrW3KdA3gZjLhxgiOFtB6FEG-sgEYG-fIkwu_i1gfs1_LUzdAEWFBqbm9nDM0bn5gje3tNjL7A8Tk0jXqCbC4tXeqFJeHPa35sheyEaKNcJ_5SdU-hxWE_JC8uvUdhCUuBxG-le2KzLTbkadb2fuJ4G0LEzlOjicms/s16000/IMG_3592_jpg.JPG" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;">In my suitcase, I'm trying to make things as organized as possible as well. I have a MAMA bag that has all of my comfort postpartum essentials. I'll be bringing my own peri bottle and healing foam this time. I'm not a huge fan of what was provided at my hospital, so I'd rather pack these two items for additional comfort. I'm also packing nipple butter and nipple shields because I would like to give nursing and/or pumping another try! I purposely grabbed a MAMA bag from Amazon, because this way, my husband can find exactly what I need, and there's no wasted time explaining to him where it is. I also added one pair of Frida Mom's disposable undies out of the pack, too! I don't know why, but these just feel so much fancier than the ones the hospital gives you, so I plan on using this one with a pad to go home.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUYen11NzK7rDf2DRlD31No_vtiUSez7AG43LJxXyWzPcoxWbFfW0s1sqIuvKwR4zWWroL5BRJDmWyMu1Y6wNohsiO91L5qcwVWQD65b2IDHP6SRcTip87ZHjIn1iLoNpZQjr_I4iBFAGrUIexHZRP-YWJvIUL3aUbgzWSW6OLVMGOJqFJLXi6Xn2yM94/s4032/IMG_3548_jpg.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUYen11NzK7rDf2DRlD31No_vtiUSez7AG43LJxXyWzPcoxWbFfW0s1sqIuvKwR4zWWroL5BRJDmWyMu1Y6wNohsiO91L5qcwVWQD65b2IDHP6SRcTip87ZHjIn1iLoNpZQjr_I4iBFAGrUIexHZRP-YWJvIUL3aUbgzWSW6OLVMGOJqFJLXi6Xn2yM94/s16000/IMG_3548_jpg.JPG" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;">My biggest mistake the first time around was bringing <i>everything</i> from each pack. There is no need to bring it all--bring what you'll need for 1-2 days, and that's it. I plan on a 24-hour discharge again like I had with my first, so I'm planning on leaving after 24 hours, but also mentally preparing and bringing a second comfortable loungewear outfit just in case I am required to stay 2 days.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg32by0duEF4dkwnPSh6gN-eYnEgjnE4u_qyWZEHK_o20DLBXMyoPmbGHNsGMnPS2otz04kbvS7VoZR5liHBFHYRdsfBmeJbeVxQ6vTaozP73CQ25TiWx6Tga0oMfd_rs0Mtrf7H-ZmlRjpV3jbczDxKwxdERL25P6I4t09z3TWQhfrxWv37P6NZsqUDV4/s4032/IMG_3606_jpg.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg32by0duEF4dkwnPSh6gN-eYnEgjnE4u_qyWZEHK_o20DLBXMyoPmbGHNsGMnPS2otz04kbvS7VoZR5liHBFHYRdsfBmeJbeVxQ6vTaozP73CQ25TiWx6Tga0oMfd_rs0Mtrf7H-ZmlRjpV3jbczDxKwxdERL25P6I4t09z3TWQhfrxWv37P6NZsqUDV4/s16000/IMG_3606_jpg.JPG" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;">I'm also using packing cubes in my suitcase. I have a packing cube that will be dedicated to my comfortable clothes--my pair of Cozy Earth pajamas, a loungewear set, and comfortable nursing/sleep bras.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I have another packing cube that will have my going-home outfit/family photoshoot outfit in it along with Bentley's for when he comes to meet his baby brother! I want to make sure he has something on for photos that matches our outfits, so this was the easiest way for me to do that. </p><p style="text-align: center;">The last packing cube for myself is for shower shoes. I'll be honest, I never got the chance to shower when I was in the hospital with Bentley. Those 24 hours flew by, and after delivery, I had a mini shower with two nurses' help, so I just showered when I got home. But, better to have shower shoes and toiletries than to not have them at all.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOtCMUYv99Cswj9RQUiSfhgXtmerA85RcOoAq7DCVLDNei0dgCdPYkCIHRbvNCjqk_9V3tiDtFWSCWBkjGfSrjjdi0_HDwbqZNisxPvr8dyG6nGn-r0m_09CWy3WcAPYKPwV_Jg4P2tJ6e6Z5JRfxwGNREr9i82GRkU3HeFoRU571qmC7Qua-lTOHnrjQ/s4032/IMG_3567_jpg.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOtCMUYv99Cswj9RQUiSfhgXtmerA85RcOoAq7DCVLDNei0dgCdPYkCIHRbvNCjqk_9V3tiDtFWSCWBkjGfSrjjdi0_HDwbqZNisxPvr8dyG6nGn-r0m_09CWy3WcAPYKPwV_Jg4P2tJ6e6Z5JRfxwGNREr9i82GRkU3HeFoRU571qmC7Qua-lTOHnrjQ/s16000/IMG_3567_jpg.JPG" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;">In a packing cube for baby boy, I will have his photoshoot/announcement outfit and swaddle, going home outfit, and spare zippered footie. I wanted to get Bentley into his own clothes versus what they provided at the hospital, and I plan to do the same with baby boy as well.</p><p style="text-align: center;">In the back portion of my suitcase, I plan to put my toiletries bag, Instax Camera, and shower shoes, too. The Instax Camera was one of my favorite items I brought when Bentley was born, and the photos we took are just the cutest! I have them all in his baby book, and it was a fun way to document his first 24 hours. Of course, we also took countless photos on our phones, but there's just something about an Instax photo.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><i>Pin Me For Later!</i></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0WsGFFvu8dVilGUKqpseWijRXCqHbWmyGbEJBJu7TEmIP8hi3VrXUyrwxUhwOZDJxgV5uAJbZBgSBM31h5DltBxVeHxlZ6W1DWSgQtG0pLLXh5Wvobw6FJ6D7EfJLhp0-Dtg2XT4iw0cNRFPW1odGsZFXuo1Ahw14_jDCUN0j-4KYkiuqRQsjgmpgwLQ/s2000/HospitalBagEssentialsAClassyFashionista.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0WsGFFvu8dVilGUKqpseWijRXCqHbWmyGbEJBJu7TEmIP8hi3VrXUyrwxUhwOZDJxgV5uAJbZBgSBM31h5DltBxVeHxlZ6W1DWSgQtG0pLLXh5Wvobw6FJ6D7EfJLhp0-Dtg2XT4iw0cNRFPW1odGsZFXuo1Ahw14_jDCUN0j-4KYkiuqRQsjgmpgwLQ/s16000/HospitalBagEssentialsAClassyFashionista.png" /></a></b></div><p style="text-align: center;"><b><i>Shop My Post!</i></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><i>For Baby</i></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><i></i></b></p><center><div class="shopthepost-widget" data-widget-id="5066647"><b><i><script type="text/javascript">!function(w,i,d,g,e,t){d.getElementById(i)||(element=d.createElement(t),element.id=i,element.src="https://widgets.rewardstyle.com"+e,d.body.appendChild(element)),w.hasOwnProperty(g)===!0&&"complete"===d.readyState&&w[g].init()}(window,"shopthepost-script",document,"__stp","/js/shopthepost.js","script")</script><div class="rs-adblock"><img onerror="this.parentNode.innerHTML="Disable your ad blocking software to view this content."" src="https://assets.rewardstyle.com/production/cdde74b40fc547642d1b8fe72e5103ebf6dd7253/images/search/350.gif" style="height: 15px; width: 15px;" /><noscript>JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser.

It's taken us over a year to get our playroom to look and function how we want it to for our family. There have been countless hours of DIY projects, and yes, blood <i>(like actual blood),</i> sweat, and tears. We originally started our DIY projects in the Playroom with our <a href="https://www.aclassyfashionista.com/2022/07/jonesy-toddler-playroom-diy-hand-painted-letter-sign.html" target="_blank"><i>Custom Hand-Painted Sign</i></a>. Before that sign, can you believe the space looked like <i><a href="https://www.aclassyfashionista.com/2019/12/diy-shiplap-accent-wall-board-batten-tutorial-family-room-reveal.html" target="_blank">this</a>?! </i>It's crazy how much a space can change in a matter of four years, but here we are, with our newest version of The Jonesy.<br /><br />Here's a sneak peek at my custom bench! I still have some styling to do and would love some new pillows, picture frames, and decor for this space, but with baby #2 on the way, I've been so focused on getting things for him and I just wanted this space to be finished and usable--not necessarily perfect yet!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWFtXmtLreZNj1jdjWGARLUS4QRFZOct9Jyti9yqI3uDjJyRvKuzkSmVFyQbs6QBZr4nxm-EUgRRGnLTz4sCkddEGYzQFO1lli3mm1Y_iYzZay6OaCWNtpqyO7_FK2LuvZnhp5giA6hys9EyUau794PP2ZA5Kh8EOqx9SwyaRuQYiLQAGGCRkA0RWU7Nw/s4032/IMG_2124_jpg.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWFtXmtLreZNj1jdjWGARLUS4QRFZOct9Jyti9yqI3uDjJyRvKuzkSmVFyQbs6QBZr4nxm-EUgRRGnLTz4sCkddEGYzQFO1lli3mm1Y_iYzZay6OaCWNtpqyO7_FK2LuvZnhp5giA6hys9EyUau794PP2ZA5Kh8EOqx9SwyaRuQYiLQAGGCRkA0RWU7Nw/s16000/IMG_2124_jpg.JPG" /></a><br /><br />So, I'm going to take you back now to about eight months ago. We had just gotten our flooring delivery around Thanksgiving, and this was our flooring for the Jonesy Playroom, our staircase landings, and our entire third floor. I knew that hardwood flooring was going to be a <i>huge</i> progress, but gosh, I love my house <i>so</i> much more! The builder-grade carpet was already falling apart after a few short years, and I knew that our home needed a major facelift for us to love it while it's home.<br /><br />If you need a reminder of what this space looked like with carpet, here are both angles of the space...<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcj4IvAo1rzZiuT5bv9SWCYt2sR-oPp2j5CCrMUV8bTH5Hst9V9FwSe8NkxLLi4KRLPkkaYZW3OMGUtU9N_YnnbsUlrO1rtLQHZmdrNNLzwHWifLNae_NZGPI7900sLn1oASyTzkeonKV3YeEVkzHmdPD6Y9jUbW_M6L_PIBKbAJmct6BbVFJ35T8UqL4/s4032/IMG_9610.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcj4IvAo1rzZiuT5bv9SWCYt2sR-oPp2j5CCrMUV8bTH5Hst9V9FwSe8NkxLLi4KRLPkkaYZW3OMGUtU9N_YnnbsUlrO1rtLQHZmdrNNLzwHWifLNae_NZGPI7900sLn1oASyTzkeonKV3YeEVkzHmdPD6Y9jUbW_M6L_PIBKbAJmct6BbVFJ35T8UqL4/w320-h240/IMG_9610.JPG" width="320" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMjH06nnv6-JHxh48XabC7EEbIry2gn65PdTPrhM7oSlFMzF_PB42oajfEMWTMKtId6NalEWXZAC373NDr2gnjdJWDN3b15j1RdvdS4150yqsEQKMxX7gtP6u0KU7ElKLEyGguIwZeeVrqnn8g70EUgK8sxZuW3ACOh1IK06MTTotQ88_wwpnQ_nc4A0E/s4032/IMG_9617.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMjH06nnv6-JHxh48XabC7EEbIry2gn65PdTPrhM7oSlFMzF_PB42oajfEMWTMKtId6NalEWXZAC373NDr2gnjdJWDN3b15j1RdvdS4150yqsEQKMxX7gtP6u0KU7ElKLEyGguIwZeeVrqnn8g70EUgK8sxZuW3ACOh1IK06MTTotQ88_wwpnQ_nc4A0E/s320/IMG_9617.JPG" width="240" /></a><br /><br />The carpet wasn't <i>terrible.</i> I mean, the space was still functional, but we <i>hated</i> the color. The carpet ended up being more purple than gray and like I said before, the quality of builder-grade carpet is on the lowest scale--even with the "upgraded" carpet we selected when we built our home.<br /><br />Now, onto the fun part! <i>Ripping up the carpet!! </i>I'm not going to lie, this part was <i>disgusting.</i> You don't realize how much dust and dirt will settle into your carpet--no matter how many times you vacuum, it will never be enough.<br /><br />Along the edge of the room, where the carpet tack strips were shot into the concrete, we were left with some unavoidable damage. I was able to patch that quickly with a concrete patch, but unfortunately, along the outer wall that's shown in the picture below, the concrete wasn't poured correctly.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihzg6tj6FPg7PLoBhFQjuJ1FFcAukDq7dnaXkpnnFUcSJx4U2uc6LCMGgECJ3kEGmPfMngCRr3e6yuhKZkSaYzeoXeuAl4DeEQBV88etixYSrhtx0GqttBPDIVYuN2Ipx_-sVWH_NwfDTFomVjVDT4H32JHbk0q6eeSEOzU2hDtLYV9HxYup56mbWOFM0/s4032/69078394525__815D33CA-0046-4CA3-908B-44415343B6EA.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihzg6tj6FPg7PLoBhFQjuJ1FFcAukDq7dnaXkpnnFUcSJx4U2uc6LCMGgECJ3kEGmPfMngCRr3e6yuhKZkSaYzeoXeuAl4DeEQBV88etixYSrhtx0GqttBPDIVYuN2Ipx_-sVWH_NwfDTFomVjVDT4H32JHbk0q6eeSEOzU2hDtLYV9HxYup56mbWOFM0/s16000/69078394525__815D33CA-0046-4CA3-908B-44415343B6EA.JPG" /></a><br /><br />Since the contractors were just covering it up with carpet, they didn't care that it wasn't level...so that means, I had to level it in order to install hardwood flooring. I used a self-leveling concrete and poured that all along the outer wall, smoothed it out, and let it work its magic. Once the concrete was dry and perfectly level, I was ready to move on!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcw40zyKMv4J1aGVrJ3Ooa97zgmkRNgqzcmbgzM3MvRkc1eqgLjz4FyUKViFVAN3J0edB7aFcHWS6qbRtwobZ31uRVhCMBFZmnCeMQTc4xlRwXOLkNoKmv1lu3utltW8APZWakvf9Tp--8jkB7QNGcRCOPX17IPWmklv6m8kCeiD-4ZqxHMSm-9wxGNWA/s4032/IMG_0727.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcw40zyKMv4J1aGVrJ3Ooa97zgmkRNgqzcmbgzM3MvRkc1eqgLjz4FyUKViFVAN3J0edB7aFcHWS6qbRtwobZ31uRVhCMBFZmnCeMQTc4xlRwXOLkNoKmv1lu3utltW8APZWakvf9Tp--8jkB7QNGcRCOPX17IPWmklv6m8kCeiD-4ZqxHMSm-9wxGNWA/s16000/IMG_0727.JPG" /></a><br /><br />My favorite little memory before I sealed up the underlayment was tracing our handprints on the concrete. Chris and I have always put something behind every DIY project--including <i><a href="https://www.aclassyfashionista.com/2019/07/30-scriptures-to-write-in-your-home-during-construction.html" target="_blank">writing scriptures during construction</a></i>. This was so special because we were able to include Bentley--after all, it <i>is</i> his playroom, well, and baby bro's, too!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXd9hKZfpL_Rd4fLEj9PNhrLXeVXKHUWsT2tRucjQS3u07UsoHaEDcnQayaMlADHQHqcdhYSpVUmkOXxfGxVkqJX7N3C62P22GsQK4xYJqFZY2FueL1nsPApM3JOh7T_Xo1N_SMJKitwHTqtL7RN358_6t32xTZ-WBE9Jd3gM-IxHWwPoRYE0O5b2R8Fc/s4032/IMG_1496.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXd9hKZfpL_Rd4fLEj9PNhrLXeVXKHUWsT2tRucjQS3u07UsoHaEDcnQayaMlADHQHqcdhYSpVUmkOXxfGxVkqJX7N3C62P22GsQK4xYJqFZY2FueL1nsPApM3JOh7T_Xo1N_SMJKitwHTqtL7RN358_6t32xTZ-WBE9Jd3gM-IxHWwPoRYE0O5b2R8Fc/s16000/IMG_1496.JPG" /></a><br /><br />I started laying down the first few rows using flooring glue and then would tape the boards together. The remainder of the floor is a floating floor, but I wanted to make sure that the flooring wouldn't shift too much since I wasn't able to nail it into the subfloor like I was able to do everywhere else in the house. A floating floor is extremely easy to install, but keep in mind, with real hardwood, you might need to shift a few random boards about 6 months later due to settling and the wood expanding/contracting due to temperature changes. We have very few gaps in the flooring 8 months later, and honestly, no one notices them except for me because I <i>know</i> what to look for. We will eventually be getting a tool to help adjust those boards--basically like a fancy flooring suction cup, but I'm waiting for a full year to go through the season changes and allow the flooring to settle into its permanent placement before making those adjustments.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPvYxvtAT9shxEFwgVZErd-xVufgkEpi4UAFWGkgVq51EVRPaXXojTsqlXn8Gw1prQYBgkbS9DOwmtVayS0VVaTNByiLkjDpX3Je_YeDss8j3oL8KtB8v6nGSrMZ9xxOV3sFvd1x1fIdQpdQS9cAOhmfGVovpeQ71uIhfxvzu88S1VaE5QhG2XcJI-pvA/s4032/IMG_0733.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPvYxvtAT9shxEFwgVZErd-xVufgkEpi4UAFWGkgVq51EVRPaXXojTsqlXn8Gw1prQYBgkbS9DOwmtVayS0VVaTNByiLkjDpX3Je_YeDss8j3oL8KtB8v6nGSrMZ9xxOV3sFvd1x1fIdQpdQS9cAOhmfGVovpeQ71uIhfxvzu88S1VaE5QhG2XcJI-pvA/s320/IMG_0733.JPG" width="240" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9k9oLWjEU1m9EtL1sNapy_LysZAHaRrbvtvQBxd22oNgnucHInZn8n0p6URn_8fSunpcSGw2XcOadNFj44M4jiclTsLvCBMdF9E6iH64vF2pUfMYlbulwFt93dAfANokyA6ehr-kzbkrVPA4yK_u5bkKjhxRBegA7KEx_awoltoSGfBmJwlt-GRTGS3g/s4032/IMG_0737.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9k9oLWjEU1m9EtL1sNapy_LysZAHaRrbvtvQBxd22oNgnucHInZn8n0p6URn_8fSunpcSGw2XcOadNFj44M4jiclTsLvCBMdF9E6iH64vF2pUfMYlbulwFt93dAfANokyA6ehr-kzbkrVPA4yK_u5bkKjhxRBegA7KEx_awoltoSGfBmJwlt-GRTGS3g/s320/IMG_0737.JPG" width="240" /></a><br /><br />Once the hardwood flooring was installed, here is what it looked like! <i>So</i> much better! It started to feel like an actual space vs a glorified storage unit that it felt like before. Once we got through the holidays, we gave ourselves a few weeks off, and then it was time to tackle the built-ins. We desperately need storage in our home <i>(townhome problems), </i>and built-ins in the playroom allowed for us to create toy storage, entertainment storage, and book storage. It also gave Chris a place to display some of his favorite LEGO sets that have now become decor in my home...but only in the playroom. <i>Haha!<br /></i><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2gSELr_2wiV31r2PxYJobt_NMB6VYTe-gS1JYyxFLxVY74nRzX7s9h61uRJZ5qdzhjH17mRGd3ldpPCV_qTwDg1nkCrRXgvlomw89HqHosSkxWwrKc0NVC1ltZK-Vy64QUI_B24-efPOomjU0N7CLNa4k1fSqBw4JKy5O8cTCb6ctMwOn_N8xozZ6TeE/s4032/69656312782__E68B49BA-0928-4575-A397-F821F9F8E0F4.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2gSELr_2wiV31r2PxYJobt_NMB6VYTe-gS1JYyxFLxVY74nRzX7s9h61uRJZ5qdzhjH17mRGd3ldpPCV_qTwDg1nkCrRXgvlomw89HqHosSkxWwrKc0NVC1ltZK-Vy64QUI_B24-efPOomjU0N7CLNa4k1fSqBw4JKy5O8cTCb6ctMwOn_N8xozZ6TeE/s16000/69656312782__E68B49BA-0928-4575-A397-F821F9F8E0F4.JPG" /></a><br /><br />Here's how the shelves looked for about a month. I found out I was pregnant right after we put them up, and then I wasn't feeling up for any DIY projects for a little while. But, once I had a burst of energy, you bet I started working the custom bench and actually making these shelves look built-in. These are the same bookshelves we used upstairs to make our custom built-ins as well, so we decided to keep things budget-friendly and use them again!<br /><br />The bump outs that the built-ins are in between have water line access, so the dimensions are so wacky, so no matter what, the bench would have to be custom-made. I had never built a bench before, but I had never installed hardwood floors before, and I did that, so how hard could a bench be?! <i>haha!<br /></i><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPR7zMU_-_Hx_4svpgG9OXB6zseIv27_HPjycOmRI71pxnFH-A19xbkT0wJjJt3OW81zSmFBWGI_-awgHvBH-LD3H1EIGM1d78lowc9ExO9bqTAcwYXzB97IJ9NOtwH9Ft7rcEaSMy3izZNxUkfX1ly7FZAo770UexQfA8AS2InyH4FrTgH-xFz_UHKjg/s4032/70449757761__8E715367-0A21-44A9-A813-07AEFC83603C.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPR7zMU_-_Hx_4svpgG9OXB6zseIv27_HPjycOmRI71pxnFH-A19xbkT0wJjJt3OW81zSmFBWGI_-awgHvBH-LD3H1EIGM1d78lowc9ExO9bqTAcwYXzB97IJ9NOtwH9Ft7rcEaSMy3izZNxUkfX1ly7FZAo770UexQfA8AS2InyH4FrTgH-xFz_UHKjg/s16000/70449757761__8E715367-0A21-44A9-A813-07AEFC83603C.JPG" /></a><br /><br />I started by building the frame. I used a Kreg pocket hole jig to make pocket holes and allow the base boxes to fit together really tight. I added four sets of supports to make sure that it would be really sturdy. The supports are spaced a little weirdly in the center, but that's only because we have an outlet that we were working around as well. I also made the decision to have the seat brace of the bench be above the outlet. It's always a 50-50 shot of whether people prefer it to be higher or lower. Even though I'm petite, I prefer it to be a little higher than a normal bench rather than way lower.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGTYS86OUqHN9i2LCGyAUr_wl2bP-r6ENLoEX2P1vLsBnkfoTijMhPZ6n1DWdg9IEPdZ7Dn1fGqHttfLznWGwNydV4BHK2VDfTzsWOZm42mf1f4XmOxfU1Ngw44U1qb4u4iwTFTKMQYvU-5Yaz-ekVjotjzXV_Cp1a7E8Im8y4qqO9ig-rjBLduRzKBrI/s4032/IMG_7454%202.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGTYS86OUqHN9i2LCGyAUr_wl2bP-r6ENLoEX2P1vLsBnkfoTijMhPZ6n1DWdg9IEPdZ7Dn1fGqHttfLznWGwNydV4BHK2VDfTzsWOZm42mf1f4XmOxfU1Ngw44U1qb4u4iwTFTKMQYvU-5Yaz-ekVjotjzXV_Cp1a7E8Im8y4qqO9ig-rjBLduRzKBrI/s16000/IMG_7454%202.JPG" /></a><br /><br />Before securing the side base frames to the wall, we attached shiplap boards to them so that the shiplap wraps all the way to the side and to where you will be able to see. Next, we nailed the shiplap to the front face. We repurposed the wide shiplap boards that were originally blue on the wall--I just trimmed an inch off the sides <i>(length-wise)</i> so that they were slightly thinner but still dramatically larger than the bench shiplap.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZTOrfSSqjECrd4cREBjLXJEaQ3O3rkXwKy-hVBDJnEBF0JAVr2kHVSVQli4j8ox5KUonD_psHz4ba63Eu7qXn1NtdNJHknS7-RoNFc5PBkjrwbIdrwJEbnXUk0JbfOdAVV4knE14crxZQl3W4jOo648LnbzZq3lsY7LN6LV4SF3hIpLY5R0C8NOdawYE/s4032/IMG_3256.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZTOrfSSqjECrd4cREBjLXJEaQ3O3rkXwKy-hVBDJnEBF0JAVr2kHVSVQli4j8ox5KUonD_psHz4ba63Eu7qXn1NtdNJHknS7-RoNFc5PBkjrwbIdrwJEbnXUk0JbfOdAVV4knE14crxZQl3W4jOo648LnbzZq3lsY7LN6LV4SF3hIpLY5R0C8NOdawYE/s16000/IMG_3256.JPG" /></a><br /><br />We added the floor trim and quarter round all along the bottom and then square trim on the top due to the distance of the shelf to the wall--we didn't have enough space for crown molding unfortunately. Once the nail holes were patched, it was time to paint! We used Sherwin-Williams Pure White in the Semi-Gloss finish, which is an exact match to IKEA Billy Bookcases in case you needed to know!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0VrAMR7vIIuNQFw5KPCl10VTa2CpHaMH7JJBtM8jA6bLNVnZ7U3wdEJg3xksJ_UDme5Y8t1mPRfChZq8TXRtJ-9fBBTMnVy_NZGJ2e0hcGpa530gbmqLYDQbLXG4L46MRvj6KEORWwGx_wgrA8zg6wFqx0k-2-Xqs6ztMOtQznzn0Z0x_yGeU1mwn5tc/s4032/71011078989__691331F5-AED0-468E-AA92-DD7A4B58C473.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0VrAMR7vIIuNQFw5KPCl10VTa2CpHaMH7JJBtM8jA6bLNVnZ7U3wdEJg3xksJ_UDme5Y8t1mPRfChZq8TXRtJ-9fBBTMnVy_NZGJ2e0hcGpa530gbmqLYDQbLXG4L46MRvj6KEORWwGx_wgrA8zg6wFqx0k-2-Xqs6ztMOtQznzn0Z0x_yGeU1mwn5tc/s16000/71011078989__691331F5-AED0-468E-AA92-DD7A4B58C473.JPG" /></a><br /><br />The only thing that was left to do was make the bench seat. We had originally planned to have an exposed wood board as the seat with a cushion on top, but we ultimately decided to use the wood with 3-inch foam, batting, and duck cloth to create a really comfy, durable all-in-one cushion. Making it myself was also <i>way</i> cheaper than buying a custom-made cushion anywhere online.<br /><br />I found a really great selection of duck cloth <i>(think durable canvas-like material) </i>at Hobby Lobby in case you have a bench seat project!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVcSh5juRSLJczJw7El5qvW2HUGFQiUx4O0zZL475Tnfj0oJzjoPSxybvSx3DBTpspdKKJm_kSCIdDWMzALoC9WyfSzQgeYH5HedvXkY1lgZntgyAjHGyXpcpLpu-2ZpVtPbBhgC7bQbFurCHJk9HfgpBtyQG2BDwMP7ejx_ZzojrWOe7VtD1lQFq3_eo/s4032/IMG_2124_jpg.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVcSh5juRSLJczJw7El5qvW2HUGFQiUx4O0zZL475Tnfj0oJzjoPSxybvSx3DBTpspdKKJm_kSCIdDWMzALoC9WyfSzQgeYH5HedvXkY1lgZntgyAjHGyXpcpLpu-2ZpVtPbBhgC7bQbFurCHJk9HfgpBtyQG2BDwMP7ejx_ZzojrWOe7VtD1lQFq3_eo/s16000/IMG_2124_jpg.JPG" /></a><br /><br />All major projects in the Jonesy playroom are finished, and we just have a little decorating left to do...next year! First up, the <i>entertainment side</i> with the built-ins and custom bench. We got rid of the love seat with this new layout, and plan to purchase a new queen sofa bed next year since our boys will be in the bedrooms leaving us with no guest bedroom. I also can't wait to get rid of the sofa and side table and get the new couch, because it will be on the lighter side <i>(with durable, stain-resistant fabric)</i> and will help balance the room out a little more. All of the shades of brown with our new hardwood flooring stresses me out. <i>haha!<br /><br /></i><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI-gN9RXPQwssO6LeidtU9Gy7ZaVKPAYruEp7oNdNIFpW789VmXzfU3j7dtv6_-VDz7fNaJFwuRBYRpdyYpQ9cFE5Qeum5PSV_oo3liXKeC52YCKUOHxAeX5pUP42Ki3VgKTlIDaQWb_vkjWXCIsvl5bCP9bnQ_PruCSH04FYK1SLYql9hnLuIHV7yiY8/s4018/IMG_0817.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3013" data-original-width="4018" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI-gN9RXPQwssO6LeidtU9Gy7ZaVKPAYruEp7oNdNIFpW789VmXzfU3j7dtv6_-VDz7fNaJFwuRBYRpdyYpQ9cFE5Qeum5PSV_oo3liXKeC52YCKUOHxAeX5pUP42Ki3VgKTlIDaQWb_vkjWXCIsvl5bCP9bnQ_PruCSH04FYK1SLYql9hnLuIHV7yiY8/s16000/IMG_0817.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEpsA1qEn72sH3ODL05xYeNC2JpgztbjV8u-FDA8r4-oJFOVjKQlQ6_8DKqLv2znQ7rcmSf9qm1M0Ck0_R4jnKa2v_gcpj09e2tXmE54G2DmipgSYYknG0u532-fO52SBdP5JbHAX2oFeNMxLNcBhwepCErj0V56Oxph85V_hwwRviIO76nNAfTn6lZqs/s4032/IMG_0813.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEpsA1qEn72sH3ODL05xYeNC2JpgztbjV8u-FDA8r4-oJFOVjKQlQ6_8DKqLv2znQ7rcmSf9qm1M0Ck0_R4jnKa2v_gcpj09e2tXmE54G2DmipgSYYknG0u532-fO52SBdP5JbHAX2oFeNMxLNcBhwepCErj0V56Oxph85V_hwwRviIO76nNAfTn6lZqs/s16000/IMG_0813.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNVs88vjKVELFsM7rbXsQvVk9ewCN2nquqD0c-b5l9Y6sBrAt_rPUB_Bc_f0x_aU9zkMH_YtJ3JsSHjTvNrR326NBaDha2wSqvIHaweyR6k8rNEepSUz0OYEbK1CjuWXkwj7dStM9z2po-4qwxVhXAsiIikS8W7Uv_EJktg8WyYhxlCbKkp9wtNa258a4/s4032/IMG_0810.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNVs88vjKVELFsM7rbXsQvVk9ewCN2nquqD0c-b5l9Y6sBrAt_rPUB_Bc_f0x_aU9zkMH_YtJ3JsSHjTvNrR326NBaDha2wSqvIHaweyR6k8rNEepSUz0OYEbK1CjuWXkwj7dStM9z2po-4qwxVhXAsiIikS8W7Uv_EJktg8WyYhxlCbKkp9wtNa258a4/s16000/IMG_0810.JPG" /></a><br /><br />Up next, is the <i>playroom side</i> of the room. There weren't a ton of <i>huge</i> changes on this side other than the new flooring and a few new toys, but gosh, I love it and so does Bentley. All day long he's asking to "play down!", so down we go to the playroom for hours of play, and it makes me so thankful that we have a space that we can call his <i>(and eventually baby bro's)</i> playroom.

During this pregnancy, I've been so thankful to be able to work from home, and you just know I'm in cozy loungewear 99% of the time. I went on a hunt to find the softest pajamas, and <i><a href="https://glnk.io/182l/aclassyfashionista " rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cozy Earth</a></i> kept coming up in my searches--especially for pajamas that mamas pack in their hospital bags. A few days later, Cozy Earth actually reached out to me to try their loungewear, and I <i>knew</i> I had to try the Bamboo Pajama Set!<br /><br />Can I just tell you, my first words after pulling them out of the packaging were, "Oh my gosh! They are <i>so</i> soft!!" No lie. They don't compare to anything I've ever had before. Over the past couple of weeks that I've had them, they have been my go-to, and I can't wait to add more to my collection.<br /><br />Here are a few more reasons why I love them besides the fact that they're the <i>softest</i> ever:<br /><br />They're made from 95% viscose from bamboo and 5% spandex making them soft <i>and</i> stretchy! Being 26 weeks pregnant now, I need something that's going to be stretchy and not make me feel like I'm suffocating while sleeping. The material combo also makes them breathable and temperature-regulating--a must-have on hot summer nights.<br /><br />They also have pockets! Yes, pockets!! Call me crazy, but I rate pajamas based on if they have pockets or not because I hate having to carry my phone around at night. <i>haha!<br /><br /></i>I'll be packing these in my hospital bag, which is why I got the new gorgeous Powder Blue color, so you'll be seeing these in a hospital packing post and best of all, in newborn photos at the hospital!<br /><br />If you want to try out <a href="https://glnk.io/182l/aclassyfashionista " rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cozy Earth</a> for yourself, be sure to use my code: ACLASSYFASHIONISTA40 for 40% off your order!<br /><br /><i>Have you ever tried Cozy Earth before?!<br /><br /></i><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmgn1T_SC_A0yLp7xGL0Hr3xwk8RcdJBkZcOaJ2KTME5E8OTF5hjqucsCxeGKbJfFNM8odwakUgo2oW_G7YYm_agcr8ffXCebTJm7AUxfEYp_IUB5fZInOjy7pesRi_m62_DTYbpxtO2t3bvnROdoWAdAGLDTustLtSmYnKtTzfqvoOJQkuHSGyZCDKHs/s350/stayclassysignature.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="175" data-original-width="350" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmgn1T_SC_A0yLp7xGL0Hr3xwk8RcdJBkZcOaJ2KTME5E8OTF5hjqucsCxeGKbJfFNM8odwakUgo2oW_G7YYm_agcr8ffXCebTJm7AUxfEYp_IUB5fZInOjy7pesRi_m62_DTYbpxtO2t3bvnROdoWAdAGLDTustLtSmYnKtTzfqvoOJQkuHSGyZCDKHs/s320/stayclassysignature.png" width="320" /></a></p><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p>A Classy Fashionistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07771950423021238622noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080336579787934355.post-6418632072470182442023-07-04T00:00:00.001-04:002023-07-04T13:38:41.418-04:00AMAZON TRAVEL FINDS FOR HER AND LITTLE ONES<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Can you believe it's July already?!

Today, I'm sharing what's on my baby registry the second time around.<br /><br />If this is your first baby, be sure to check out my blog post: <i><a href="https://www.aclassyfashionista.com/2021/04/newborn-essentials-i-could-not-live-without.html" target="_blank">Newborn Essentials I Could Not Live Without</a></i>. It shares everything that I truly <i>loved</i> during the newborn and infant stages with Bentley, plus, you'll get to see baby Bentley photos, too! 😍<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkQuITZu9OkJhKN-IMInMJ2gyKuXnbTEI8jtC5d4Q5oePSSwNTfXAHUu1wpwp8eGRq_d7b8XCZWcDRjq6d3E2mxf-Qrr_gvQTRwFBQwnKIyxacetzKjX3zMtdRnPSrQ8PhCmT0YbS6EzcAA2YJO3EBpr-Lf-BY6gwketCcm77c3hEM19HgaNsR9E37KY4/s1500/BabyRegistrySecondTimeMom.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkQuITZu9OkJhKN-IMInMJ2gyKuXnbTEI8jtC5d4Q5oePSSwNTfXAHUu1wpwp8eGRq_d7b8XCZWcDRjq6d3E2mxf-Qrr_gvQTRwFBQwnKIyxacetzKjX3zMtdRnPSrQ8PhCmT0YbS6EzcAA2YJO3EBpr-Lf-BY6gwketCcm77c3hEM19HgaNsR9E37KY4/s16000/BabyRegistrySecondTimeMom.png" /></a><br /><br /><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+_CNXEYWP1wD6u1IKbE44vQ" rel="" target="">Philips Avent Soothie</a> & </i><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+vjz38T4XGG_N6jZSYepTww" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Philips Avent Soothie--Blue 3M+<br /></a></i><br />These Soothie pacifiers are by far my favorite to use for baby. Bentley actually started off with the Premie version in the hospital because he was so tiny, and then graduated to the 0-3M and eventually the 3M+. They were his all-time favorite, and we will be using them again with baby boy #2!<br /><br /><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+Wvjt3EtA1HIKQj7iMTyPyw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Little Remedies Gas Relief Drops<br /></a></i><br />If there's one thing you should have in your baby's medicine cabinet alongside of Infant Tylenol, it's these Gas Relief Drops. They were a huge game-changer when it came to feeding. Bentley had the <i>worst </i>reflux when he was an infant. We would have to hold him up for 30+ minutes after feeding so he wouldn't spit up. Once we started giving him Gas Drops before feeding, we were able to lay him down sooner without spitting up!<br /><br /><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+lrwTlmeWUAIQB_tiTt2wNg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dapple Bottle & Dish Soap<br /></a></i><br />This is the only soap we use on bottles with Bentley, and will definitely be using it again. It helps get the pesky milk film cleaned from the bottles. You can use it for sippy cups, pacifiers, and bowls, too!<br /><br /><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+DoZNN8l60NF537gU16Sucw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Wipeable Changing Pad Cover<br /></a></i><br />A wipeable changing pad cover is essential. There is no way you will want to wash a regular changing pad cover each and every day because newsflash--you'd have to if you used one. The inevitable spit-up, poop explosion, or pee streams are bound to happen. The wipeable changing pads are so easy to clean off with a wipe, and of course, you can still wash them when needed.<br /><i><br /><a href="https://rstyle.me/+IW-_N7Nb1dc2VyOBsFkbRg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Diaper Genie</a><br /><br /></i>I love our Diaper Genies--in fact, we're still using them since Bentley is at the tail end of diapers. <i>(Fingers crossed, this summer, he will be completely potty trained before his baby brother is here this fall!) </i>We're getting a new one for our room while baby boy is in our room for the first several months.<br /><br /><a href="https://rstyle.me/+D7i5r7Ygyz-gGX7J_KpjyA" rel="nofollow" style="font-style: italic;" target="_blank">Diaper Pail Refills</a><br /><br />The Target brand is what we've always gotten, and have never noticed a difference in the quality! I keep an eye out for sales, and stock up!<br /><br /><a href="https://rstyle.me/+iu2K114dHnV5Iwf2cXl2oA" rel="nofollow" style="font-style: italic;" target="_blank">Huggies Natural Care Wipes</a><br /><br />You'll never <i>not</i> need wipes. Stock up when you see sales. Target usually has a gift card deal for wipes and diapers, so be sure to check that out and take advantage of Target Circle deals, too.<br /><br /><a href="https://rstyle.me/+OwkEGJgNcGMWQFoIMwhnxw" rel="nofollow" style="font-style: italic;" target="_blank">Huggies Little Snugglers Diapers</a><br /><br />These diapers were the only ones that we could use with Bentley, so we're expecting them to be similar with baby boy #2! We've been using Huggies since pretty much day 1. I think it's actually what we had in the hospital as well, so <i>truly</i> day 1.<br /><br /><a href="https://rstyle.me/+KrZg62QzhflNBg_QoItJwQ" rel="nofollow" style="font-style: italic;" target="_blank">Always Discreet Disposable Underwear</a><br /><br />While we're on the subject of diapers, let's discuss diapers for you. You're going to want to invest in some great disposable underwear because real underwear is beyond uncomfortable. I loved using the Always Discreet Underwear for the early postpartum days, and then as the bleeding started to become slightly less after about a week, I switched to <i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+PK21SOZJHY-l14V4wYNYXQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Frida Mom Disposable Underwear,</a></i> and they became my <i>fancy</i> postpartum undies.<br /><br /><a href="https://rstyle.me/+Zcmv4RdxZEzwK_vSo18oXg" rel="nofollow" style="font-style: italic;" target="_blank">Always Discreet Postpartum Pads</a><br /><br />Postpartum pads are obviously a must-have, and you should have a pretty good stash after the hospital, but I found using the Always Discreet Postpartum Pads really helped when I didn't need the <i>huge, </i>thick pads the hospital gave me. I would use these in my disposable underwear so that I would get a slightly longer wear-time out of the underwear.<br /><br /><a href="https://rstyle.me/+YAK9j2HdUoYbk_TsGqynzw" rel="nofollow" style="font-style: italic;" target="_blank">Frida Mom Healing Foam</a><br /><br />This might have been my favorite postpartum essential. is a must-have, in fact, purchase an extra bottle or two. No joke--I went through 4 of them in the first four weeks postpartum. This foam is magical and promotes healing, helps with swelling from vag to tush, and gives you slight comfort down there. You won't regret buying extra--I promise you'll be using it during every bathroom trip. <br /><br />Check out my blog post: <a href="https://www.aclassyfashionista.com/2021/01/20-items-you-need-postpartum-recovery-kit.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><i>20 Items You Need In Your Postpartum Recovery Kit</i></a> for more postpartum must-haves.<br /><br /><a href="https://rstyle.me/+EkA06sCZteWxQGImhNw7ew" rel="nofollow" style="font-style: italic;" target="_blank">Boppy Original Cover</a><br /><br />We loved using the Boppy Support Pillow with Bentley--from feeding assistance and practicing tummy time to when he would lay down on it and hold his own bottle, it was a go-to essential. I wanted to update our Boppy with a new cover to add to the mix since I only had one cover with Bentley, and I figured that having a second couldn't hurt since we know we will be using it daily the first year + of baby boy's life!<br /><br /><a href="https://rstyle.me/+igE5itP9Wr3aWjfjuljghA" rel="nofollow" style="font-style: italic;" target="_blank">Reusable Wipe Holder</a><br /><br />Call me crazy, but I've always wanted a refillable, reusable wipe holder, so I decided I'm going to be getting one this time around! The pattern that I linked also matches the <i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+BlRTVoMGzpLx30HH-NJvog" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pacifier Pouch</a> </i>we already have and love.<br /><br /><a href="https://rstyle.me/+dbxk6R4nzrmgDJ1Th8WFGw" rel="nofollow" style="font-style: italic;" target="_blank">Pacifier Holder</a><br /><br />If there's one thing I've learned, it's that pacifiers end up <i>everywhere</i>, and somehow they become impossible to find when you really need one. I'll be grabbing a set of 2 pacifier holders that will be used to keep pacifiers clean in my <i><a href="https://www.totesavvy.com/aclassyfashionista" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ToteSavvy Bag Organizers</a></i>.

It's a beautiful quality and it's the perfect way to document pregnancy through 5 years old.<br /><br /><a href="https://rstyle.me/+8kDf4RTIcdxvig0mVzXW5Q" rel="nofollow" style="font-style: italic;" target="_blank">Wooden Closet Size Dividers</a><br /><br />I always wanted these with Bentley, and I never had them, so I decided I needed them for baby boy #2! I already have them in the closet with his tiny clothes, and I'm so happy I got them. They actually helped me organize by size and see just how many clothes we already have, and the few new pieces that we might need to purchase before he's born.<br /><br /><b><i>What items were on your baby registry as a second-time mom?!<br /></i></b><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM208epVdUHHL0hx-8HmdNk5E6kdXvKy1UBYBIoMOcRCvNTr-dwlj9nGWhp1nDuCBEOzlTw0AMyy0SE0l1aolMPSHs8zQVjx5jGHztt7ftmvct-dxQg6NtZVEh18O1f0SjSEy-jgl01-oJ6KWO47ln-93FTKozjLgjhprxAY0s4fNQUhYTC5hTk_-Bd0g/s350/stayclassysignature.png" imageanchor="1" style="font-weight: bold; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="175" data-original-width="350" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM208epVdUHHL0hx-8HmdNk5E6kdXvKy1UBYBIoMOcRCvNTr-dwlj9nGWhp1nDuCBEOzlTw0AMyy0SE0l1aolMPSHs8zQVjx5jGHztt7ftmvct-dxQg6NtZVEh18O1f0SjSEy-jgl01-oJ6KWO47ln-93FTKozjLgjhprxAY0s4fNQUhYTC5hTk_-Bd0g/s320/stayclassysignature.png" width="320" /></a><b><i><br /></i><br /></b></p>A Classy Fashionistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07771950423021238622noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080336579787934355.post-41538460412421474492023-06-26T00:00:00.001-04:002024-02-19T22:01:56.748-05:00WHAT'S IN MY BAG || MOM EDITION<p style="text-align: center;">
Having a baby changes literally everything about your life. From the clothes
you wear, the way your home is decorated, your everyday routines, and anything
else you can think of, it's affected by your little one. If there's one style
thing that I refused to give up, it was my designer handbags and totes, but I
found they weren't the most functional due to the lack of pockets and
organization.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicej5Wphah6Dxopi-C_Mcj9WD_I3iXO-5AUwaWTvLZWwn9P3xcDGSZO8F0_EObzsi2-D369hV9bfhMgQcWDEW32dHvID7hJEx_XDzuDsxX85TQq9h-NgQpw9rTYMVHMXDJf7tbIkYaH3Z4jm_SjAmK6zvu25we0Y308xi-si1nHKvxWOJQsM5cYu8i/s4032/IMG_5869_jpg.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicej5Wphah6Dxopi-C_Mcj9WD_I3iXO-5AUwaWTvLZWwn9P3xcDGSZO8F0_EObzsi2-D369hV9bfhMgQcWDEW32dHvID7hJEx_XDzuDsxX85TQq9h-NgQpw9rTYMVHMXDJf7tbIkYaH3Z4jm_SjAmK6zvu25we0Y308xi-si1nHKvxWOJQsM5cYu8i/s16000/IMG_5869_jpg.JPG" /></a><br /><br />Well, that's where my friends at ToteSavvy come in to save the

<i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+7xLyTFge3ftCpQFj8f0duQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Clear Pouch Trio Set</a></i>. It's a go-to for me along with my bag organizer.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJHrBDwlYqkFV8sfGP_3BQ9EW6gLltYAmBpS_RPDOcQAYvMTpPXqsFRg99nKPY6HO_dK343GVfqXPywyaFsoag6guPts1xWxOASECsz8KHyuFFUIgg0ndouMqOPWTkmNkQmyVuYom6I0wWFsD51VICrDJNLbdRzHxfKZoNih3lP4wb46X1jhiX6rso/s4032/IMG_5886_jpg.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJHrBDwlYqkFV8sfGP_3BQ9EW6gLltYAmBpS_RPDOcQAYvMTpPXqsFRg99nKPY6HO_dK343GVfqXPywyaFsoag6guPts1xWxOASECsz8KHyuFFUIgg0ndouMqOPWTkmNkQmyVuYom6I0wWFsD51VICrDJNLbdRzHxfKZoNih3lP4wb46X1jhiX6rso/s16000/IMG_5886_jpg.JPG" /></a><br /><br />Inside my bag organizer, I have all of the essentials for both me
and Bentley!<br /><br /><i style="font-weight: bold;">Diapers & Wipes</i><br /><br />In every bag for mama and little one, you always have diapers and
wipes. I always have Bentley's in the large pocket and it fits a whole pack of
wipes and upwards of 10 diapers--depending on what you need that day.<br /><br /><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR7rLi9i78AL7bFCQynBAg_guPekejJCpeLErUs294UhXr0n8yIfuni9S-bSNBvwt5hK4eRMu3j2WCnc2Xc6V21643jHaYLK4scHqGoVH5PfhzT9tBrxfhHXjT_6LC0jErbq5D4D5pO3T47XigHKcbNVS70DPRfhlh9YA43JYyKkMWHyOdMz5mcajQ/s16000/IMG_5874_jpg.JPG" /><br /><b><i><br />Snacks<br /></i></b><br />If I don't have snacks while we're out and about, Bentley will get
hangry. I wonder where he gets that from. <i>haha!</i> I always have a
snack or two on hand for him and a snack for me, too!<br /><br /><b style="font-style: italic;">Liquid I.V. + Reusable Water Bottle + Sippy Cup</b><br /><br />I just recently started to use
<i><a href="https://glnk.io/qv1w/aclassyfashionista " rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Liquid I.V.</a></i>
and mix it into my water, and y'all, I am hooked. I genuinely love all of the
flavors I have tried so far, and it makes me actually <i>want</i> to
drink water throughout the day. If you're newer to Liquid I.V. it's a
hydration multiplier with 3X the electrolytes of sports drinks and has 5
essential vitamins: B3, B5, B6, B12, and Vitamin C. I personally love that
it's Non-GMO and has no artificial ingredients and the flavors are
<i>delish.</i><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmWPqQjJ-faBc89MiCWUbQb9XxstTHEM-KWs4_CKAuY0f3pJjEOxNXiTgADY1mAFcwjejSxDoaZKtYp6FZ093rrCVSV1GF1q4bBf4C-UjDNzqdde6NTcgXwBzguVNvw7Vf-AL2Sp9H6YOAM4Nky222r7jjW23z9_47yw-zc140QeWaZ_9DLaoKavbA/s4032/IMG_5878_jpg.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmWPqQjJ-faBc89MiCWUbQb9XxstTHEM-KWs4_CKAuY0f3pJjEOxNXiTgADY1mAFcwjejSxDoaZKtYp6FZ093rrCVSV1GF1q4bBf4C-UjDNzqdde6NTcgXwBzguVNvw7Vf-AL2Sp9H6YOAM4Nky222r7jjW23z9_47yw-zc140QeWaZ_9DLaoKavbA/s16000/IMG_5878_jpg.JPG" /></a><br /><br />If you're interested in grabbing anything from Liquid I.V.,

<i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+kCk8sKlodiate0ASeESipw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">key fob cover</a></i>? I saw a couple other peeps share this style on Instagram recently, and I
knew I needed to grab one. If you search your car's model + key fob cover on
amazon after clicking
<i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+kCk8sKlodiate0ASeESipw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this</a> </i>link, it will come up with the right key fob cover for your car. I personally
have the white, and this set comes with the key fob cover, gold key chain, and
black strap. This gets 5 stars from me!<br /> <br /><i style="font-weight: bold;">Wallet</i><br /><br />I feel like a wallet is a no-brainer <i>haha!<br /></i><br /><i style="font-weight: bold;">AirPods</i><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit0tZUVO4eCUrTLVcR74J5GvaNiBB9AlNWsyYtnFjEp_ipwgvaeJguM2QsVxLH0D_ECATr67GGO6zJbk1ZOofbAV0q5hl88ATFV1lFKZe0FxgmsSiifRpAzi23UbP5MUn2ZG5iV7JNCN0f8qBF-rhPj8uQll6HssUd12D-AH3BHCbmb-l0JBJTtQH4/s4032/IMG_5895_jpg.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit0tZUVO4eCUrTLVcR74J5GvaNiBB9AlNWsyYtnFjEp_ipwgvaeJguM2QsVxLH0D_ECATr67GGO6zJbk1ZOofbAV0q5hl88ATFV1lFKZe0FxgmsSiifRpAzi23UbP5MUn2ZG5iV7JNCN0f8qBF-rhPj8uQll6HssUd12D-AH3BHCbmb-l0JBJTtQH4/s16000/IMG_5895_jpg.JPG" /></a><br /><br />I always bring my AirPods with me. If we're in the car and I need
to cram in some work, I'll throw them in so I can blast some music and focus.
Most of the time, I'm editing Reels for work, and you know how annoying
repeating a five-second audio can be, so I put my AirPods in!<br /><br /><b style="font-style: italic;">Travel-Sized Tissues</b><br /><br />I ended up grabbing a couple of packs of travel-sized tissues
from Target in the dollar spot on an impulse buy, and it's been a constant in
my bag ever since. They've come in handy so many times--definitely a must-have
essential.<br /><br /><b style="font-style: italic;">Hand Sanitizing Spray<br /></b><br />Toddlers get super messy, pretty much all the time, and for no reason
sometimes. I've found that sometimes you just need a little extra on-the-go
sanitation on top of a baby wipe.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdKYdfNBOwuZRovXJfFrJTtfMNxKbXjkutL8Gnr8D4q9llqU9IhkUGSzlbYhsDIQZdTpU8oO9swj5r9dHYSX1T1cfeWuhBVRbvbj4Q30RqYZDtxBuDVLhbXjM43uIKfJT3Q1yb1jKj7sgZ8gjqyjsIn4XAf_GRazUvITv2eTzkpyUCqkrZ2kxkFvW8/s4032/IMG_5903_jpg.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdKYdfNBOwuZRovXJfFrJTtfMNxKbXjkutL8Gnr8D4q9llqU9IhkUGSzlbYhsDIQZdTpU8oO9swj5r9dHYSX1T1cfeWuhBVRbvbj4Q30RqYZDtxBuDVLhbXjM43uIKfJT3Q1yb1jKj7sgZ8gjqyjsIn4XAf_GRazUvITv2eTzkpyUCqkrZ2kxkFvW8/s16000/IMG_5903_jpg.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><b style="font-style: italic;">Liquid Lip & Hair Essentials</b><br /><br />You always need a lippie with you--no matter what. Choose your
lippie of choice, and add that to your clear pouch! I also keep a couple of
hair ties, a scrunchy, and a hair clip. Mama life always calls for a hair
tie...no matter how badly you want to wear your hair down. <i>haha!</i><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs43zIuY97SjIXhgJu7gmphXcxTyT_6G77Ce-DJpGFWZc8Z17ilDNEn3xlAyKhChGdGKb8qS9Zsz7Ld3iLFuPUpM8pcrs80h_krVqrATU73qwEsv7BFD2pQ_rZRaC4BrGfoTMVb8laE0G-ICd05yBaxOdNnj73FZKOEpdWGMLtenaf_C6Uc09GPr2b/s4032/IMG_5887_jpg.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs43zIuY97SjIXhgJu7gmphXcxTyT_6G77Ce-DJpGFWZc8Z17ilDNEn3xlAyKhChGdGKb8qS9Zsz7Ld3iLFuPUpM8pcrs80h_krVqrATU73qwEsv7BFD2pQ_rZRaC4BrGfoTMVb8laE0G-ICd05yBaxOdNnj73FZKOEpdWGMLtenaf_C6Uc09GPr2b/s16000/IMG_5887_jpg.JPG" /></a><b style="font-style: italic;"><br /></b><br /><b><i>Spare Outfit for Bentley<br /></i></b><br />Mama life. Need I say more? I've been stranded out in public or away
from home and Bentley has needed a change of clothes--whether from an accident
or he gets his clothes dirty, you always need an outfit on hand. The second
large pocket in the Canvas Original Bag Organizer comes in handy for a spare
outfit and more!<br /><br /><b style="font-style: italic;">Shop My Post!<br /></b>
