[Favorite Finds] Insta-Grammin'

It's been a while since I did my last Instagram photo dump from some of my favorite Instagrammers that I thought I would share some more today. As I've mentioned before, Instagram is BY FAR my favorite form of social media. I check it most often and post most of my pictures there. Snapchat is definitely second and Facebook comes in a distant third. And the rest... don't even get me started on those. But enough rambling... on to my favorite finds! I must admit a few of these are kind of old (think Christmas photos) since I haven't done a photo dump since September, but they were too good not to share.

Oh and to be helpful, I linked the Instagram account names to the photos this time :)

@rowhouse14 // Seriously the cutest cards. I haven't bought any yet, but I love them all. Boom. Mic drop.
@andrea2220 // LOVE this idea! Andrea did the CUTEST North Pole breakfast for her kids when their elf came back for the holidays.

@theellenshow // Hahahaha!

@momtog // If you don't follow @momtog yet, you should. I started following when Erin was featured and have been hooked ever since. I've learned SO much from fellow mamarazzi's! I mean, how cute is this capture?? Little photog in training!

@sweetnsaucyshop // Donut smash cake. Need I say more?

@drewbphoto // Love this idea! What a great way to showcase your selfies.

@projectnursery // LOVE this little reading nook area.

[Favorite Finds] Insta-grammin'

It's been a while since I did my last Instagram photo dump finds from some of my favorite IGers that I thought I would share some more today. As I've mentioned before, Instagram is BY FAR my favorite form of social media. I check it most often and post most of my pictures there. Facebook is a distant second and I recently started trying to use Twitter more... and was just confused. So, needless to say, I haven't been posting much on there. Correct me if I'm wrong, but does IG seem more like pictures and Twitter seem more like words? And I guess Facebook is more in the middle? I much prefer pictures to words, so it's no wonder I like IG more!

Oh and to be helpful, I linked the IG account names to IG this time :)

@houseofrose // Love the custom bunk bed. Love the sports theme. Love it all!

@busytoddler // Such a clever idea to put down some painters tape and make a race track. This would be a big hit in my house!

@shopjumpingjack // SO. TRUE. And so me! Ha!

@everydaypartymagazine // A little hard to see and I think it might have gotten cut off, but I love the school theme to this. There are cards all over that say things like "Pp is for pencils" and "Ee is for erasers".

@carrieunderwood // Overnight oats with oatmeal, almond milk, almond slices, chia seeds, pumpkin pie spice, and blueberries. Sounds good!

@magnoliamarket // LOVE everything Chip and Joanna do and especially love this galvanized bucket with craft supplies and the Mason jar with crayons!

@petitepartystudio // This. WALL. Swoon.

@oreo // I recently started following Oreo and with my love of their cookies, I'm not sure why I didn't start sooner. I mean, these cupcakes?!

@henandco // Such a cute idea for a snack for kiddos. Healthy and fun = win win!

@thewholesky // Seriously love Andrea's feed. She takes the most gorgeous photos and makes me want to live in the Pacific North West.

@megawat // Crock pot chicken tacos. Megan always has the most delicious looking food pictures and making chicken in the crock pot for a quick, easy meal is a win in my book!

@ohdangitsrah // Color coordinating cars with the shapes and colors on the paper. Genius!

@mulberrypressco // Love love love the quote on the mug. I need this in my life.

@momtog // If you don't follow mom tog yet, you should. I started following recently when Erin was featured and have been hooked ever since. I've learned SO much from fellow mamarazzi's! I especially love that they teach you how to edit photos taken on your iPhone - my camera of choice!

@magnoliamarket // I saw them make a sign similar to this on the show once and LOVED it. I love the concept and love how it looks. And the saying is pretty great too.

@theellenshow // Genius. Pure genius.

@jillian.harris // DYING over the placement of this bed between the walls. Looks so cozy and such a space saver!

@saltybison // Love their signs and especially love the layout of these ones and the California one!

[Favorite Finds] Instagram Lovin'

It's no secret that I love Instagram. I've found that it's definitely my social media app of choice. Far above the rest. In fact, if I had to rank them, it's probably be IG followed by Facebook followed by Pinterest with Twitter in a distant last. And don't get me started on SnapChat. I don't really know what it is and I think I might be too old to use it. Regardless, I LOVE Instagram and I love the accounts that I follow. I get so much inspiration from them and I wanted to share a few (or 18 -- oops!) of my current favorites.

@karratipton // LOVE this idea -- painting rocks fun!

@poppylaneandco // I've been swooning over her bracelets for forever now. I haven't been wearing as much jewelry lately as I used to, but I'm dying for some of her gorgeous bracelets!

@paperdollclothingco // I think I shared this on IG a while ago, but the quote is perfection so I wanted to include it here too

@targetdoesitagain // No words necessary

@weelicious // Sweet potato black bean enchiladas -- sounds delish!

@alissamcircle // She lives in Southern California near me and when she posted this ice cream sandwich... I knew I wanted to try it!

@saltybison // I'm dying for one of their prints!

@jillian.harris // This bed! It's different and I kinda love it.

@sharpewerks // I actually don't follow this account, but someone I follow must have posted about it because I found this gorgeous necklace. It's different and I kind of love it. I envision the largest circle being Seth, the next largest being me, and the smallest being Mason. Three different circles in three different metals, all connected. Love.

@damn_delicious // My love of pineapple margaritas runs deep. This seems like the next logical step.

@katie_did_what // Amen sista. Amen.

@discoverystreet // LOVING that shelf/towel rack that she has in her bathroom. If I remember correctly from the comments, she made it! Genius.

@karratipton // This mama is rockin' it with the toddler ideas! First painted rocks, then custom hop scotch. So creative!

@projectnursery // Loving this shorter bunk bed idea. The bottom one is on the floor and the top one is not too high. Kind of looks like toddler sized beds too? Either way, super fun!

@thedaydesigner // I don't have this planner, but I'm loving these stickers. They are from @fayecreates and I think I need some!

@persnicketyprints // Washi taped Instagram pictures on the wall. Genius.

@jennycollier // "Welcome to Summer" buckets for her kiddos. Such a fun way to end school and be welcomed to summer vacation!

@henandco // I'm a sucker for avocado anything and this toast with those tomatoes and balsamic looks AMAZING!

I'm always looking for new, wonderful accounts to follow. Who are your recommendations?

[Friday Favorites] Instagram Edition

Oh Friday, I am SO happy to see you. It has definitely been one of those weeks and I am definitely excited for a low key weekend. Between catching Mason's cold and blowing my nose 28627362 a day, being behind on everything, and everything else that went on this week, I will be happy when 3:30pm rolls around.

Today's five on Friday is a little bit more like nine on Friday instead.

Here are my favorite Instagram snaps from the past month.

@shopsugarbit - LOVE this quote

@jillian.harris - definitely a new twist on a old favorite. i'm always stuck in a rut when it comes to what to put on bread and these were great ideas!

@minted - LOVE that heart photo!

@paperdollclothingco - lol! so true.

@hellotosha - love that quote on the wall - "you have my whole heart for my whole life"

@saltybison - GORGEOUS

@projectnursery - super fun play space!

@helloapparel - such a cute door mat

@thebouqs - the tulips i've been drooling over

And with that... I'm off to Trader Joe's in search of some tulips this weekend!

Have a great one! Happy Fri-YAY!

[Five on Friday] Instagram Edition Part 3

Happy Friday!

Here's my totally random, five things I'm loving on Instagram this week...

ONE.

@thewisebaby

I love everything about these special, easy little gifts.

Love the washi. Love the Starbucks. Love the cute saying.

How perfect are these little gifts for teachers or co-workers or just someone you want to say a little "Merry Christmas" to?

TWO.

@ecards_for_you

I'm currently LOVING Taylor Swift's newest CD and while I am playing it on repeat about 10 times a day (Seth is soooo happy!), I came across this ecard. I laughed for a good minute, took a screen shot, and laughed again about how true this really is.

THREE.

@hrgranados

Friend and fellow boy mom.

I'm LOVING this! I think I may like the Go Go Smart Wheels more than Mason because I TOTALLY want all of these and to build this master piece.

FOUR.

@mixandmatchmama

If you don't follow @mixandmatchmama on Instagram or read her foodie blog or family blog, you are missing out. I just LOVE this idea of a recipe exchange party and I just LOVE how gorgeous her house is!

FIVE.

@flutterby_33

I met April through the scarf exchange that we did a couple months ago and have been following her on Instagram ever since. She posts some of the cutest things and I absolutely love this idea as a fun craft with Mason. Simple, easy, festive. Right up my alley!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

PS if you didn't catch my post about the fun Christmas Desserts and Tacky Sweaters link up that I am co-hosting next week, click here to find out how to join in on the fun!

[Five on Friday] Instagram Edition - Part 2

Happy Friday!!!

Today's five is once again brought to you by the letter I - specifically : Instagram. Since I am at work for most of the day everyday during the week, I don't have a lot of free time to peruse the internet. However, I do have two 15 minute breaks and a 30 minute lunch to peruse Instagram.

So, alas, Five on Friday Instagram Edition - Part 2.

Now, without further ado...

ONE.

Disney Dress Wall Prints.

Captioned : Persnickety Prints photo lab supervisor, Rebekah, is also a talented graphic designer. Her Disney inspired princess collection is a top seller - obviously! @ritzyreba is what I call a triple threat : artist + understands the print side + super nice = super awesome. #gallerywall #persnicketyprints

If I had a girl (and a room for a playroom), I would SO get these for the walls!

***

TWO.

Ryan Gosling Cookies.

Captioned : The perfect stocking stuffer.

Umm, yes please. This is a local bakery to me and I think these are AMAZING. Seriously might get some for Christmas dessert...

***

THREE.

Hide and Hug Olaf.

If you're on the fence about the Elf... this could be the perfect alternative to the Elf on the Shelf!

***

FOUR.

In Bloom Boutique.

I have yet to order anything from them, but their Instagram is always blowing up with the most GORGEOUS clothes.

*hint...cough cough... Seth... cough cough*

***

FIVE.

The Shelfie.

Captioned : Hey mamas! I wanted to take a minute to share this fun new product I found called The Shelfies. @getashelfie has designed this useful add on to help make bath time more fun for the kiddos, at the same time helping to contain the mess for us mamas. Last night was a true test to the product when Parker took a cup full of water and poured it out. Now normally it would have dumped straight on to my feet but because of the way @getashelfie is designed, it caught the water and poured it straight back into the tub! Awesome, right? The Shelfie suctions directly onto the edge of the tub [must be placed when the surface is DRY!] and removes easily when tub time is over! The boys loved having the extra space to play and I love having less puddles on my floor! Head over to @getashelfie to see more about their product.

Because... duh. Who wants wet feet? 

We definitely need one of these in our house! We have a wild splasher on our hands every night during bath time.

Happy weekend!

[Five on Friday] Instagram Edition.

Happy Friday! My five today are inspired by some of my favorite saved Instagram pictures!

ONE.

@theellenshow 

Do you follow The Ellen Show? She seriously posts the BEST stuff, so if you don't, you totally should! On Wednesdays she either posts a classic joke or a "you're welcome" picture. She just started the "you're welcome" series about two months ago and they are amazing!

TWO.

@theflairexchange 

The Flair Exchange posted this yesterday and I loved it. Unfortunately they are not available yet (soon!) but seriously, how cute are these balloons?? If only I had a party that needed balloons...

THREE.

@helloapparel

I seriously LOVE everything that Hello Apparel posts on Instagram. LOVE. I haven't ever bought anything though but I'm seriously considering this shirt!

FOUR.

@brickyardbuffalo 

I mean, seriously? How GENIUS.

FIVE.

@targetdoesitagain

The name of this wine. Enough said.

***

And one more... because I HAVE to share this! I saw it advertised on TV the other night and I knew I had to know more...

SIX.

Oreo Churros.

OREO CHURROS with OREO COOKIE CREME DIP.

Let me just take a minute and let you take that in.

(You can read more about it here. And yes, that's a Time Magazine article so you know it's legit!)

Yes... left you on a high note! (And sorry to make you hungry!)

Happy weekend!

Oh and PS : Sorry to leave you hanging on our Santa Barbara trip! Due to the headache that would not go away and the fact that as a result, I fell asleep at 9pm on Wednesday night, the Santa Barbara Part 2 post will be next week Wednesday. Sorry to get your hopes up and then let you down!
