ePantry

Y'all! I got turned on to ePantry back in October when I took advantage of a great Mrs. Meyers deal they were offering (thanks to Natalie)! I signed up & got about $50 worth of my favorite products for only $20 (and it came with free shipping)! I'll be honest...I was a bit skeptical at first - I mean, couldn't I just buy these same cleaning products at our local grocery store? But, I've checked prices and double checked prices (at Bi-Lo and Publix) for these same products and nothing compares. Ummmmm with two littles and another almost here, it's also super convenient to have my favorite cleaning products delivered to.my.door.

One note: It is a subscription service that lets you hand pick cleaning supplies, so once you've put things in your "pantry" they stay there and are shipped to you on a monthly basis -- HOWEVER, you can change how often you receive a shipment. (*I don't get a shipment every month...at most every other month, but usually every 3 months.) You can also deactivate / reactivate your account as you like with no penalties or fees.

If you sign up using this link (ePantry) you get a $10 credit AND free shipping on your first order! Go ahead, you can thank me later. (:

PS -- This is not a sponsored post. I just love sharing good deals and ways to make your life easier!

This past weekend we got to celebrate the future Mr. & Mrs. Cooke (you'll remember Brock as being the 3rd member of the original Monkey Tribe)! Seriously, this shower was absolutely wonderful - everything was beautiful, down to the last detail. 

Brock is super special to both of us & we're pumped to keep celebrating these two over the next few weeks as they (/we) count down to their big day! (And, fun side note: Meghan is one of my best friend's best friend from growing up ... super small world!)

life for us lately has been a little...busy. we packed our crew up and moved out of Honey's house and into a "new temporary house" that is literally steps away from the white house. we're slowly getting back into a routine and definitely soaking up our last weeks as the #martinfamilyoffour. 

we've got lots of good things going on before BM3 comes - birthdays, weddings, trips ... much to look forward to and even more to be thankful for!

bath time

not too hot, not too cold. lots of bubbles. lots of toys. big splashes. hanging out 'til we're wrinkly. that's how we do bath time around here.
