Isla Loves: Milk Nursingwear (Giveaway)

When one of my best friends, Kirby, told me about Milk Nursingwear‘s amazing nursing tops, I was very intrigued. Most of the maternity tops I had ordered were very ‘momsy’ and far from stylish. I trust Kirby’s sense of fashion, so I went to their website and was pleasantly surprised by their selection of nursing wear. Milk Nursingwear was nice enough to send me this gray scoop neck shirt to try, and I love it! The top section pulls up to allow for discreet breastfeeding – others genuinely cannot see a thing. Given that newborns are so unpredictable with their feeding, it’s nice to know that I can feed outside of the house if needed without giving up my privacy.


I’m excited to be teaming up with Milk Nursingwear to give away a $35 gift certificate to one lucky individual! In order to enter the giveaway, you must do the following:

  1. Reply to this post, including your name, email and which Milk Nursingwear item(s) you would buy with your gift card
  2. Follow Milk Nursingwear’s freshmilk blog
  3. You will get an extra entry by being or becoming a follower of Snapshots and My Thoughts (see ‘Follow’ button at the bottom righthand corner on desktop version of the blog)

One winner will be drawn at random. The more entries you have, the higher the chance you’ll win! The giveaway ends at midnight on Wednesday, August 20. I will announce the winner by Friday. I look forward to your responses. Good luck!

I was given this nursing top by Milk Nursingwear for my review. I was allowed to keep the product, but the opinion I am sharing remains my own.

The J. Crew Family

I absolutely adore J. Crew, and as the primary shopper of the family, Sasha and Isla inadvertently wear lots and lots of J. Crew too. I especially love a lot of the summer to fall items that J. Crew has right now. In fact, there’s a 25% off sale for these styles with the code NOWANDLATER. I received my seasonal reward card (sometimes hundreds of dollars off due to J. Crew card spendings!). I spent ages on my phone (while feeding, of course) trying to decide what to buy with the gift card. We recently ordered Sasha a pair of the 7” Stanton Shorts – nice and short for my favorite pair of legs, as well as the Heidi Long Dress for me (for an upcoming wedding in Mexico!), and the Flower Patch Tank for Isla. I decided on some of the items below – I love this assortment of J. Crew outfits for the entire family. The only non-J. Crew item are the sweet felt bows for Isla which are from A Little Lady Shop.

Have you bought anything from J. Crew recently that you love?

July Fourth Sales

DSC_0951Happy July Fourth everyone! It’s Isla’s one month birthday – one of my best friends gave birth to her baby girl, Lillian, on Monday, and Sasha’s cousin gave birth on Wednesday to sweet little Ana. It was my little sister’s birthday yesterday and our good friend’s birthday tomorrow – what was happening nine months ago?

I love this holiday! This year, we’ll be poolside with Isla and Belle – time to dip the little one in the water (besides a bath!). I’ll also be online shopping, given the amazing deals that are available for Independence Day! Check out my favorite sales below.

Happy Monday Link Love

Happy Monday, everyone! We survived our first weekend at home, and Isla is finally getting better sleep at night (she’s be an owl to day). We both slept 7 hours last night which is record since Wednesday. I’ve had some time to browse the internet in my many, many hours spent breastfeeding, and below are a few of my favorite recent finds! Enjoy reading and have a wonderful week!

These colorful May Designs books are perfect for journals and even have a baby diaper/feeding diary version which has been our lifesaver

This Rifle Paper Co. inspired nursery on Grey Likes Baby is the cutest thing ever

These airmail inspired wedding invitations on Oh So Beautiful Paper are simple, yet bold and I love them

This elegant chateau wedding shot by Taylor Lord is breathtaking

I want the entire outfit that Rachel wore in this post

I finished reading The One and Only by Emily Giffin the day before Isla arrived – it has a slightly weird plot twist, but I liked it for the most part – easy reading!

Any other recent reads that you’ve bookmarked? Any reading appreciated! xo

Happy Memorial Day, everyone!

I love this holiday for multiple reasons:

  1. It’s important that we stop and remember those who died fighting for our country’s freedom
  2. It’s a wonderful opportunity to spend time with friends and family
  3. I appreciate all breaks from work right now – 9 days until the due date!
  4. Last, and certainly not as important: Sales, sales, sales. The retail world unleashes some pretty significant holiday weekend sales, and I’ve listed some of my favorite stores’ discounts below! Happy shopping!
