Bedding

I'm so excited!! Last week I found this pink and white floral bedding at TJ Max - totally by chance! I was already having a hard time deciding on what bedding I actually wanted. There was the cute pink and brown one from Walmart...but then I decided I'd like to incorporate some green in, too. IMAGINE THAT!! :) I found a cute one from Babies R Us next but it was a little more than I really wanted to spend. Then by chance found this one at TJ Max and the sheet sitting in front is from Pottery Barn Kids which goes PERFECTLY! It has 2 shades of pink - the hot pink matches exactly and it also has a lighter shade of pink, and green, AND brown! I couldn't believe it! They had ONE at Pottery Barn Kids so I was excited to actually see it in person and be able to buy it. The bedding came with a sheet, but this way I can incorporate the other colors. We also bought the little lamp shade and the round glass lamp from IKEA (among a few other things). My registry items from Pottery Barn Kids will also go great! They have the cutest canvas bins in green and brown with white polka dots...as well as dresser knobs. We were able to pick up our crib and changing table tonight too so hopefully soon we can get everything put together. Oh and I also found a boppy pillow at Babies R Us that is part of the bedding set. :)

Happy Valentine's Day

Travis and I had a great Valentine's Day! Travis knew I really wanted to go to The Land of Nod store so he planned a full weekend of shopping for me in Schaumburg--he printed out information, addresses, reviews etc. We also went out to a few nice dinners.

Travis was IN HEAVEN at Texas de Brazil--a steakhouse where you have a little card (notice the green Travis has and the red I have in the pics). If you have your card on green, you are ready for meat and if you have it on red, you are takin' a break. In addition, they have a HUGE salad bar, mashed potatoes and fried bananas (Travis also LOVES...me not so much!) that go along with it. It WAS delicious even though I'm not a huge meat person. I could live off pasta. :) It was similar to Fogo de Chao; where we went in Chicago last year. Anyway, when your card is on green, these guys walk around with a huge hunk of meat fresh from the open fire and they slice off a piece for you (steak, chicken wrapped in bacon, lamb, sausage, etc.). I was still full the next day I think! We also went to PF Changs--Chinese is another favorite of Trav's and I RARELY ever want. I was ok with Trav picking where we went to eat because he endured a whole weekend of shopping and DIDN'T complain once!!!!!!! He even carried my bags! :-) We went to The Land of Nod outlet (not so great for what we were looking for), Pottery Barn Kids (I WAS IN HEAVEN!), IKEA, and Woodfield Mall.

I recently purchased a bedding set at TJ Max (very cheap!) originally from Babies R Us so was hoping to find some things to go with it. See my next post. :)
