Like Sitting on a Cloud

Things I’ve done recently…

Just now: Realized that I still have two baskets of clean laundry to fold later today. Le sigh.

This morning: Ate some delicious pancakes. Because my husband makes me pancakes when I ask. Good man.

Yesterday: Edited a lot of pictures. Which I will be blogging soon.

A few days ago: Got caught up on American Ninja Warrior. That show makes me want get my kung fu on and climb rock walls like Spiderman.

Last week: Was given my dream glider chair for Natalie’s nursery from my amazing aunts and uncles!!!

I sat down in it when Jake and I were registering at Pottery Barn Kids. (That was my first mistake. Ha.) This glider? It feels like you’re SITTING ON A CLOUD. Seriously, most comfortable chair I’ve ever sat in. So yes, I might have started crying when I opened the little gift bag and found a Pottery Barn gift card with a picture of the chair I’d been drooling over for the last month and a half. And yes, I know I’m super blessed to have such a wonderful family who loves and spoils me and my baby girl :) Thankful doesn’t begin to cover it!

This is the beauty that Natalie and I will be spending lots of time in this coming year! (I never thought I would be so excited about a chair… But I am.)

Also, can I just talk for a second about how much I love Pottery Barn Kids? Seriously, they have THE cutest baby things. The little leopard baby bath towel? I DIE. We already bought that chevron rug. I’ve been eyeing the ABC lamp for quite some time. I looove the ruffles on the curtain. And the only reason I haven’t already purchased that pumpkin diaper cover is because they don’t have it in newborn size. Otherwise it would currently be in her closet! I could have included a lot more ridiculously adorable baby things, but for your sake I’ll stop there.

In light of all of this, and because I figured it’s about time for another giveaway, who wants a $30 Pottery Barn gift card?! You don’t have to use it at Pottery Barn Kids, even though that’s obviously where I would be heading ;) I just love Pottery Barn in general though! So if you love PB too, simply leave a comment below to be entered to win! You can tell me if you’d buy a baby thing or grown up thing, or chime in that you love PB as well, or even just say hello :) I’ll randomly pick from the comments and announce the winner next Wednesday! Hope everyone has a lovely weekend :)

Trevor and I found that chair years ago and it’s been on our list ever since. I’m so glad you got it!…and a little jealous too. ;-)

Sooooo cute! That chair looks nothing short of amazing! :D

I would either buy something for my niece’s one year birthday or buy something for my future home! :D

That chair is beautiful….I love PB and could think of a million things to spend $30 on.

Oh, wait, I have to tell you the one thing I would but from PB?! Never mind. That’s too hard. Their home office magazine just arrived, how’s about one of everything?

We love pottery barn!! We have the abc lamp! It’s so cute and perfect for a nursery. So excited to meet little Natalie when she arrives!

Since we were fortunate to get all new plates (fine and every day use ones) we are getting rid of David’s prized blue PB ones – he is a bit depressed about it (apparently he thought we could register for two sets of plates and them still keep ours? Haha boys).

Well can’t NOT post on this one! PB Kids is my kryptonite! We spend way too much $$ every time we are there, hard not to! All of Sawyer’s furniture is from there, love it!

Whitney - August 15, 2013 - 2:57 pm

PB is my weakness! I have no idea what I’d buy right at this moment but I find something I just have to have every time I set foot in that store!

Emily Headings - August 15, 2013 - 4:40 pm

so… sad day.. we don’t have a PB near us. BUMMER! :( I DO order online, though. And I for real want that rug just for me.. haha! Love your style Carissa and can’t wait to see everything when it is finished!

Renn - August 15, 2013 - 5:21 pm

I love PB! Everything is so pretty! And I also can’t wait to see pictures of the finished nursery! I loved your inspiration board and I can’t wait to see it a reality!

Love the chair! Believe me when I say that you live in that chair! We bought a recliner for Joe and I have claimed it. Very happy for you. Never been to a pottery barn but it looks like my kind of place. Are you a hobby lobby fan? That is my absolute paradise.

mom - August 17, 2013 - 9:24 pm

I’d buy a baby thing!! :) :)

Colleen - August 19, 2013 - 3:10 pm

Ah! I loooooove Pottery Barn! So many pretty things I could put in the new house. And although Mark and I won’t be in the market for one for a while, nannying taught me the value of a quality glider :)

I’ve never been to pottery barn, but LOVE what I’ve seen online..so many cute things it’s hard to choose :)

Jessica Eckert - August 20, 2013 - 9:58 am

Carissa! I love that chair! You are not going to want to leave it!’ I’m so excited for you and your cute fam!! Love ya!

Kara Vincent - August 20, 2013 - 10:33 am

I am so jealous! but so excited for you.
I would totally buy something for Brynnie! I love PB… a little too much :)

Danielle - August 20, 2013 - 10:42 am

Your blog is the cutest ever!!! I love looking at all the cute things!

Shelly - August 20, 2013 - 8:14 pm

I would love to buy something for my new (and first) nephew :)
