#nsale Workout gear by meganlawless featuring Zella

I have the cropped and full length Zella pants, I bought them during last years sale and they are WORTH the hype! They have not faded, or pilled, are thick, stay up and help with my "mommy" tummy.  I bought the moto style this year to add to my collection! The wacoal sports bra I have in multiple colors and it is so comfortable and these are a great price! I am quite busty so I need a "heavy duty" sports bra. I got these Nike's last year during the sale and they go with EVERYTHING and are SO comfortable! If I needed new tennis shoes, I would be adding the linked below! As you can see, I do not wear "bold" workout wear, I stick to black and grey but the tank is so cute in the back and I can still wear my sports bra so that is a bonus!

Olivia Adele,

I can NOT believe it was 4 years ago that we walked out of those double doors as a family of three. People ask me all of the time what it felt like, and I can only describe that it felt like a dream! For 80 days I dreamt and thought about what the day would be like that we would FINALLY get to graduate from the NICU and start our life, together, at home. Honestly, the day was better than I could have EVER imagined!

Bringing you home felt like time stopped. I could finally breathe and have never in my life felt so complete and at peace! The love we have for you (and your sister) I can not compare to anything else in my life.

I can not wait to see what you have been put on this earth for. You have already taught me so much! I admire so many qualities about you already and you are only four! You have always been SO determined, ready to prove people wrong, stubborn and sassy! Most traits most would think "you admire those?" The answer is Yes! :) If you are a parent of a NICU grad you would understand that these traits are what got my girl home!

You are the little girl who made me a mama and you have taught me SO much! I love you more than words can say my little tree frog! 

I recently (as in last week) reconnected with one of the nurses that helped deliver Olivia. Hearing how she remembers the day of Olivia being born seriously made me cry!

" I will never forget your delivery, and I will never forget how strong your family was that day. You and Jeremy are simply amazing people. I will always remember both of your optimism, strength, faith, and support for each other that day. You both shed happy tears that your baby girl had arrived; I remember you didn't know the gender until she was born Jeremy was, to date, one of the happiest dads I've seen at a delivery. He didn't show us he was scared. He stayed strong for his girls. Truly admirable. You. You are a beautiful mother that despite what Dr. Bradley told you took everything in stride and it was almost like you knew everything was going to be okay. Yes, it was a very, very scary day. But you guys, all of you, overcame that fear and instead were so strong. Olivia was strong that day too, breathing on her own and all!! I am SO happy to hear that both of your experiences were great despite what you had to endure the first time around. Do you mind if I show the other nurses pictures of Olivia? Every one of us there that day remembers her And most importantly that day it was evident the LOVE you had for each other, and for your Olivia I am so grateful to have met you all that day. That experience has humbled me and like I said I will never ever forget you guys "

 I will always be forever grateful to EVERYONE (nurses, doctors, our family, friends, strangers) who showed us so much kindness, who prayed for us and with us, who sent us cards, who called, texted, sent messages, bought gifts, sent us dinners, flowers, and most of all helped us get where we are today! Thank you to all who have followed our journey! It has been QUITE the adventure! :)

When it comes to shopping for Jeremy, I dread it! Not because I don't love shopping for him, it is because he makes it SO hard! When he wants something he just buys it, so when I need to find him a gift I have THE hardest time! 

I rounded up a few items if some of you are in the same boat as me when it comes to buying the man in your life a gift (or a few!)

Men's gift guide by meganlawless 

I have been ON A ROLL this holiday season! We got ALL of our holiday shopping done online! No waiting in lines, no whiney babies and  in the comfort of our own home!

FIRST OFF, I HIGHLY recommend that you sign up for Ebates if you plan to do ANY online shopping. I thought it was a scam at first but then I heard Kelly, Becky, Erin and others using it so I figured I would try it out and am I GLAD I did! It is the real deal! Basically you go to the website, search for the store you want to shop at and then click the link. You get a percentage back and a lot of the time they have coupon codes, codes for free shipping and right now because of the holidays, the pay outs are even bigger! Check it out, if you are an avid online shopper like me, you will thank me! :)

TARGET

Target has had some AWESOME deals online! If you are shopping in the store, make sure you have the cartwheel app as well as sign up for the texts! You can also print off coupons online! Last week, our store ran a promo if you spent $75 or more you got a 20% pass to use on a shopping trip. I earned that pass buying diapers, formula and sippy cups that I was already there for so that was awesome! haha Check your ads and online for more deals!

KOHLS

I LOVE this time of year at Kohls! We have been earning our weight in Kohls cash thanks to Liv's Frozen obsession! Jeremy's closet is bursting at the seems with Olaf and Elsa dolls, stuffed animals, night gowns, etc. They have been running SO many promos on the frozen stuff online! You can also use your pass! Sign up for their coupon texts and you can use the code in the store AND online! Also free shipping through ebates! (at least it was last week!)

Bath & Body Works

I LOVE the BIG candles, they last forever! They make the perfect gift and are on promo now 2 for $22! Also LOVE the wall flowers which are on promo 4 for $20 or 6 for $24! There is also a coupon I got in the mail recently that when you spend $30 you can take off $10!

Ulta

I LOVE Ulta! Make sure you are signed up for their rewards card! I earn so many points on that thing and then use my rewards towards more expensive items like my favorite blow drying brushes! They have a few coupon codes out right now that can be found on ebates or on the ulta website!

Old Navy

Old Navy ALWAYS has deal but around the holidays they are awesome! Right now they have a sweater promo going on and I am doing everything I can to NOT fill up my online cart to the brim! haha

MINTED

Also, we FINALLY ordered our holiday cards! I went with minted again this year. I just LOVE the qualty, service and there are so many cute options to choose from! Right now they are running a promotion, If you join now, Minted will give you $25 toward your first purchase of $50 or more! That is AWESOME!! This will be our third year using Minted, I have been VERY happy with them!

What are some deals you have all found lately? Share them in the comments!
