I'm excited and honored to be added to a fantastic list of SpitfireMoms in the SpitfireMom Society on The Spitfire Girl Design blog!  Make sure you head over to Heidi's site to hear more about how being a Mom influences my work and more! 

Wordless Wednesday




Cheers,

Charlotte - Seven Months


Charlotte at seven months old:
  • You are are 17 pounds!
  • You are wearing your 3-6 and 6-9 month size clothing.  You have a very round tummy and your thighs have rolls for days!  
  • You are such a happy and smiley baby! Even when you complain, its a soft complaining. 
  • You are doing really well sitting up on your own!
  • You are still breastfeeding but we are supplementing with formula as well (which has given Mommy a break since you are not the kindest to my breasts).  
  • You are sleeping from 8:30-6:00am. Every night you go to sleep, I request that you sleep in until at least 7am.  You must not hear me when I make this request.  
  • Now that we have added in bottles, your brother and sister fight over who gets to "feed" you the bottle. 
  • Your hair is getting longer and you seem to have a widow's peak. 
  • We attempted to start feeding you - I made peas for you, but you were unable to swallow them. Your tongue would push it right back out and you were gagging.  The doctor told us to to wait a month and try again.  
  • You still don't have any teeth, but seem to have A LOT of drool.  
  • We can't imagine our family without you and love you so much!
*You turned seven months old on January 10th but your Mommy is a procrastinator!
I hope that you all have a fabulous weekend! We are going to be off doing some house hunting (this family of five has outgrown our house), a little bit of bloggers who brunch with Blog Brunch and then having some friends over to watch the SuperBowl on Sunday.  What are all of you up to this weekend? 

PishPosh Mommy Giveaway

When PishPosh Mommy approached me about writing a post and having a giveaway on my blog, I was thrilled to share their products with you guys.  I am pretty passionate about their quick zip carryall organizers! I wrote about them back in May from a mommy perspective.  I love using it as my diaper bag in many of my fun totes and purses as opposed to carrying around a normal diaper bag.  I have always changed my purse on a daily basis to coordinate with my outfit, so I fell in love with the zip carryall when I saw it.  It allowed me to quickly change out my bag without worrying that I had moved everything from one purse to the other.  With three bambinos, I needed to be able to easily grab my purse/tote of choice and insert the carryall and go! 

But this carryall is not just for mommies!  Since I shared the mommy perspective last time (diapers, wipes, binkies, etc), I thought I would share how the fashionista could utilize the carryall for their everyday use.   It is really for any fashionista that is constantly changing her purse!  It keeps all of your items in your purse organized with all of the many pockets on the inside and outside so you don't end up digging endlessly through your purse looking for your cell phone or favorite lipstick.

Another one of their versatile products is their Diaper Clutch that could easily go from diaper clutch by day to clutch at night. It is a great stocking stuffer gift! 

Right now, PishPosh Mommy is having holiday specials on their Facebook page and offering free domestic shipping for the holidays! Also, PishPosh is offering all of my readers a 20% discount (coupon code SAVVYSF) to shop with online through the end of December! Make sure that you order by the 19th to receive it by the 23rd! 

I am also testing a new giveaway tool, Rafflecopter, to help me with my giveaway! It should make it a lot EASIER for you to enter! Let me know what you think! 

The giveaway will run through next Thursday, December 15th. To enter you must leave a comment and be a follower (GFC) of Savvy in San Francisco. To earn additional entries, there is a list below in the Rafflecopter of things you can do!  Good luck!!

Happy shopping!
