the return of five things friday!

I know. I’ve slacked on this like crazy. The past 6 weeks have been so hectic with the birthday, sunroom, working, company in town, the America’s Mart show, etc. Things have (somewhat) settled down and returned to normal. Now I can finally get back to my late night Etsy browsing days. I have recently fallen in love with all things mint. One of my sweet friends Hanna even gave me a quilted mint purse from her amazing store, Pinkheart, and I want to wear it all the time, even to bed. It was so fitting to receive this gift today since this post is all about mint colored items. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do! And to make up for my slacking, I have brought you 8 minty goodies!

It’s finally here!

There have been a few Sugarboo posts lately, but there are just so many exciting things happening. After a few years of talks and months of planning and hard work, Sugarboo & Co. has finally opened and I couldn’t be happier. This was such a labor of love for so many people involved and everyone worked so hard to make it happen. The store is even more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Everything looks like it’s exactly where it should be. I want to live in this store (or take everything home with me). I feel so lucky to be apart of this growing company and am excited for all the new ventures that lie ahead. If anyone is in the Atlanta area, check out the store in the new Town Brookhaven: 804 Town Boulevard, Suite 1070 Atlanta, GA 30319. Then go have some drinks at Noche and see a movie with dinner at CineBistro

Summer Reading List

Some friends and I recently started a book club! Tonight is our first gathering to talk about Fly Away and drink wine. Okay, we are meeting to mostly drink wine. I have been wanting to get back into reading since I got married … almost 2 years ago. But things always seem to take priority. A baby (duh), working, house chores, spending time with the husband, friends, play dates, trashy reality tv, spending hours on pinterest and blogger … you know, important things. I think joining a book club will give me the motivation I need to jump back into reading (I didn’t even finish Fly Away, I’m off to a great start). I should be reading instead of looking up books that I want to read. Damn it. Just like with all my crafts and such from Pinterest. I would do them, but I’m just too busy pinning.

Sugarboo Designs Summer Market

The summer show season is upon us. It is always such an awesome time to see all of our customers in person and meet new ones. Not to mention the amazing items from some of the best companies in the world. I ordered some things from Vagabond Vintage, Bobo Intriguing Objects, Design Legacy, Bla Bla Kids and Bliss Living. I could have have spent quadruple the amount of money but I would have bankrupted us. There is always the next show 🙂 I’ve been with Sugarboo for over 7 years and every year the pieces get more incredible. It’s the most fun and creative environment to work at and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else! Rebecca has created the most beautiful new art prints and paper items that I am in love with. Here are some pictures of the showroom:

Homemade Body Butter

I saw this how to make your own body butter post a few months back and I have been dying to try it. The more research I do on drug store beauty products and all the bad chemicals used to make them, the more I want to use natural and safe ingredients on me and my family. Not sure what some of the bad chemicals are? See them here and here. I was pretty devastated when I found out my face cleanser, Cetaphil, was horrible for your skin. I am currently in the market for a more natural face wash and will do a review once I find something I like. Anyway, back to the body butter! I love body butter and I’m always trying different brands and scents, so I decided to make my own! My friend recently told me about a cbd body butter that she’d been using and it inspired me to make my own body butter!
Body Butter Recipe 
Makes 2 1/2 to 3 cups whipped butter (I put mine in a 16 ounce mason jar and still had some left over)
1 cup organic raw shea butter (purchased from Amazon here)
1/2 cup coconut oil (purchased from Amazon here)
1/2 cup almond oil (purchased from Amazon here)

1. Melt shea butter and coconut oil in the top of a double boiler. I do not own a double boiler so I used my kitchen aid mixing bowl and set it over a pan of water (see photo). Be sure not to let the bowl touch the water. The key is you want to melt the ingredients without burning them. The mixing bowl got very hot so use an oven mitt or towel when removing. I let the water come to a boil and kept it boiling until the shea butter was melted and stirred occassionaly. Remove from heat and let cool at room temp for 30 minutes . 
2. Stir in almond oil and essential oils of your choosing. I used peppermint oil (purchased from Amazon here) and loved the way it smells. 
3. Place bowl with oil mixture in freezer for 30 minutes. (This is a crucial step, be patient!)
4. Wait until oils start to partially solidify then whip until a butter-like consistency is achieved. I whipped the butter twice. The first time was still hardened at the bottom and around the edges. I scrapped the sides and stirred together with a rubber spatula then whipped again on the highest setting. 
5. Use a rubber spatula to scoop into a clean glass jar with lid. 
**A few tips: The butter melts as you rub it in. A lot goes a long way. I would not recommend lathering up with this before putting on nice clothes and walking out the door. It takes 30 + minutes to absorb into your skin. Throw on some lounge pants and an old t shirt because if not, whatever you sit on will get oil on it (like my bedsheets. Great). **

12 month Favorites

As my baby is now a one year old (heavy sign), I thought I’d share some of his favorite things. Some of these are new and some of these have been favorites for months (which means they are a good buy and a keeper). I have to say this age has been so fun. He is learning so much and picking up things quickly. I feel like I have a little old man walking around my house. He still only has 2 bottom teeth and is bald (for the most part). But that’s fine with me, it makes him look like a baby longer!

Soft Vintage-y Tees – Onesies are basically impractical for us to use anymore. Henry despises getting his diaper changed so the shorter he has to lay on his back for a changing the better. It is so much easier to pull up his shorts/pants and go. TargetOld Navy and H&M have great soft tees. Plus Target and Old Navy have amazing sales so often that most of the shirts I have purchased for Henry have been from the clearance section.

Straw Sippy Cups – Henry was never a fan of the traditional tilt back sippy cup. After trying about 4 different ones, we finally bought this Munchkin Straw Cup. I was shocked at how fast he learned how to use it. We put water, milk and smoothies in them without any trouble. We also like the Avent Straw Cups and the Zo-li cups are a big favorite in my mommy group.

Pajamas – Baby Gap is my favorite shop for 2 piece PJs. They are lightweight, comfy, and oh so adorable. They always come out with the best designs and graphics. They can be a little expensive at the store, so I wait until they go on sale, have an online coupon, and sometimes I even buy new on ebay! *Runner up would be The Children’s Place zip up one pieces. Light weight like Baby Gap but much cheaper! They have a zipper which I love.

Nuk Pacifier – Yep, Henry still uses his paci when he gets fussy and to get to sleep. When he was born we tried 4 different pacifiers and this classic was a winner. Luckily he only wants it when he is tired or cranky and doesn’t walk around with it in his mouth all day. He is too busy putting everything else he can find in his mouth. I hope that is just a phase. I love all the cute designs they have (especially the sports one). Please know he definitely rocks the football one every Sunday during football season. 


Plastic Balls – Walmart has THE best deal on plastic balls which you can use to make your own ball pit (using a plastic kiddie pool). We bought ours in store and got 100 for just under $12. We ended up get 3 packs. Yes, I have 300 plastic balls in my living room (contained, most of the time). One of our best purchases to date.

Lovey + Blanket – Angel Dear makes the softest and most cuddly lovey’s. Henry sleeps with his every night and every nap. He needs to feel it touching his face for him to doze off. It’s so sweet and heartwarming to see how much he loves it. Our go to blanket has always been the Nordstrom Basket Weave Baby Blanket. We received one as a gift when Henry was 2 months old and were hooked. I bought another as a back up in case one’s in the wash or to keep upstairs/downstairs.

Almond Milk – The transition from formula to Almond Milk was SO easy and I don’t even think Henry noticed. I wrote about my qualms of dairy milk a while back here. He hasn’t had any allergic reactions or upset stomachs. I feel confident in my decision to put him on almond milk instead of cows milk.

Our Weekend in Pictures

Our weekend was pretty low key. It rained nearly non stop so it made for a lazy few days. That was fine for us since we have been so busy for nearly the past month. It was nice to have some down time, take naps and veg out. When the sun broke through on Saturday we took Henry for a spin down to our neighborhood playground in his Radio Flyer Wagon that he got for his birthday. Such an amazing gift from his grandmother and he loved it. We also ventured out to have some mexican (our weakness) and Henry had his first cheese quesadilla. We haven’t gone out with him to restaurants lately because all he wants to do it eat! I have to feed that child constantly and as soon as he sees his stash getting low, he starts making his trademark pterodactyl scream. My husband and I literally have to shovel food in our mouths and eat and run. I hope this is just a phase because he was not always like this. We will try again in a month or so. Until then, we will stick to date nights. Oh yeah, another thing that he is newly not a fan of … swings at the park. WTF? When did this happen? I hope this is just (another) phase. 

I love how he holds onto the sides with his little hands. My heart bursts when I see these pictures. One thing that was not captured was how we was holding my hand while daddy was pulling the wagon. There is nothing sweeter than a little boy who loves his mommy <3 
On Sunday we went over to our friends house for Korean BBQ! There were 8 of us and 4 babies so it was definitely a lot of fun. Our hosts were so sweet and prepared the most amazing meal. It was my first time having Korean BBQ and I am hooked. They even prepared fried rice with seaweed for the babies. I ate quite a few bites and Henry loved it (of course). Just like his mama! Here are a few mouth watering pictures from this amazing spread.
