Freshly Picked

I was faced with a very tough decision this morning. Which Freshly Picked Moccasin color should I order for Campbell? I went back and forth about a million times and even sought out my trusty Instagram followers to help me with this difficult task.

It was tough, but I finally managed to pick one and I'm hoping they'll arrive on my doorstep next week!! Eeep!!
In all seriousness, I'm freaking obsessed with these shoes. I hope that I love them in person as much as I love them on Instagram. I've been following Freshly Picked for a long time now and was holding off until fall to order Campbell some shoes but I just couldn't wait anymore!!! I ended up settling upon #5, the Weathered Brown Mocs.

I think they're a good transition into late summer/early fall and the color should pretty much go with anything. If I'm madly in love, I'll order more. Although we may have to do a couple of baked potato nights to make it for it. (Baked Potato nights are what we do for dinner when we're trying to be cheap!!! Ha!) I love numbers 1, 3 and 6 a lot. And if you're thinking to yourself "camo??" just keep in mind that camo for boys is the leopard for girls. Right? Fun pattern, neutral....it totally works.
I was excited to see that a lot of my IG followers are just as obsessed and having an equally hard time picking out a moc color for their little ones as well. It didn't make me feel so ridiculous!
I'll definitely give you my review once I get these adorable little shoes in! Until then, Campbell will just have to continue to go barefoot since I can't seem to find any other shoes for him that I like. Or that fit.

Bentonville Farmers Market

This weekend we went to the Bentonville Farmers Market and we had so much fun! I'm almost embarrassed to admit that it's the first time we've been. I don't know what took us so long to get around to it but I can see it being our new Saturday thing! Campbell had SO much fun. He loves being outdoors. We picked up some awesome cherry tomatoes and some beautiful fresh flowers! While we were there we also decided to grab a burger at The Station Cafe for lunch. It was delicious of course. What a fun start to our weekend! We're totally going to make this our new thing and next time we're going to bring the girls. They will love it too!!

On Saturday night we went to a 30th birthday party of one of our friends/neighbors. We had a great time! Sunday we went to church and put Campbell in the nursery again. The timing of his schedule worked way better this time. It would have last Sunday too except he randomly woke up Saturday night/Sunday morning and threw us off. We waited until the last minute possible to wake him up from his nap so he would be refreshed and happy while he was at church. When we went to pick him up after the service was over they said he was perfect the entire time. Yay! Campbell was playing with a toy that belonged to the church and when we were walking to the car I looked at Scott and was like "do you think we should wash his hands?" Ha! I know, I'm ridiculous. I just don't want him to get sick and his hands are constantly in his mouth these days.

That's about all our weekend consisted of. I can't wait to do something with all of these delicious cherry tomatoes we have now. I didn't eat any over the weekend because we don't put a single healthy thing in our bodies over the weekend around here. I don't feel bad about that.

Sidekick

My little Ivy has been so precious to me since Campbell has been born. She has always been my little shadow since the day we brought her home and has truly shown her unconditional love for me since Campbell's arrival. Every single time I'm trying to get Campbell down for a nap or bed, Ivy follows me to his room, crawls under his crib and waits until I'm finished. Once I've laid Campbell down, I whisper "come on Ivy" and she gets out from under the crib then follows me back downstairs. This is not limited to just day time. For every single middle of the night feeding, this sweet girl was by my side. It makes me feel so loved by her. Even when I'm old and grey, I'll always remember that I had a little sidekick helping me get through those sleepless nights.

That's all I've got for today. I figured my little Ivy deserved her own special post. Such a sweet girl. Madison is sweet too. She comes and helps me during the daytime but at night, she stays snuggled up in bed with her Daddy. I can't blame her! I would too.

Wordless Wednesday

A Southern Sunday

I've been wanting to get some new pictures of Campbell so on Sunday afternoon, Scott grabbed his camera and took some shots of me and my sweet baby boy. I love how they turned out! We have an awesome nature trail in our neighborhood that tends to be mine and Scott's go-to spot for a little photo sesh. I'm so proud of the awesome photographer that Scott has turned into! I'm trying to talk him into doing it as a little side job. We could work together. I help with the poses, Scott snaps the camera :)
Here's some of my favorites from our little Sunday session.

Nursery Time

Hello Monday! Let's make this week a good one shall we?

Dinner and a movie Campbell Johnson style

Our weekend was fun! Scott and I ordered pizza on Friday night and once we put the little one to bed, we watched Divergent. It was good. Interesting. Very similar to Hunger Games. I like the Hunger Games better but that's probably because I've read the books. I'm definitely going to keep up with the movie series because I'm curious to see what happens next.

I went to the pool on Saturday afternoon. I was out there for maybe 5 minutes, enjoying the bright hot sun and the company of my neighbors. Then, out of nowhere, a monsoon struck. It began raining SO HARD. I ended up stuck in the bathroom for about 45 minutes with my girl, Nikki. We made the most of it though! Later that evening we had a couple of neighbors over to hang out on our back porch. Scott and I stayed up until about midnight and then the little peanut randomly woke up at 3:00 am so that was neat. He hasn't done that in about 6 weeks but whatever!! Needless to say, I was dragging all day yesterday!

Speaking of yesterday, Scott and I went to church and put Campbell in the nursery for the very first time. The timing didn't work out with Campbell's schedule at all but we don't want to miss out on church anymore so we just had to work around it. When we dropped him off, I told the lady that it was time for him to take his nap right away but I could tell she wasn't paying attention to what I was saying. I was a little anxious the entire service and kept watching for our little number to pop up on the screen alerting us that our baby was uncontrollable and we needed to go tend to him ASAP. But we made it through the service (all of the parents did actually!) without our number flashing. Once church was over, we immediately headed over to pick up our little peanut. He was just chillin and seemed fine. The girl handed him to me and said "we had some trouble with him at first but then he finally took a nap and woke up a completely different baby." Whoops! In Campbell's defense, I told them that he needed to go to sleep right away and (just like I suspected) they clearly didn't listen to me. I was hoping he would nap the entire church service but I'm guessing he got in a little 30 minute cat nap. A rocky start but other than that everything else about our first church nursery experience was really good. Now I'm just praying he doesn't get sick this week because I'm a little nervous about that. I'm glad we did it though and I'm looking forward to getting back to church. Life doesn't feel right without it!!
