<p>I have become obsessed with buying things on Amazon. With two young kids I rarely have time to get out and go shopping and I love the convenience of laying in my bed late at night, browsing Amazon, ordering something, and having it at my door two days later.</p>

<p>I have become obsessed with buying things on Amazon. With two young kids I rarely have time to get out and go shopping and I love the convenience of laying in my bed late at night, browsing Amazon, ordering something, and having it at my door two days later.</p> <p>For fall/winter I have a few awesome and adorable finds that will be pretty much all you’ll see me in for the next few months! <img src="/assets/57edae2ca0b5dd12b610326f/layout_width/blog_post_image_amazon_fall_fashion.jpg" alt="Alt text" /></p> <p>It all started with this shirt, I got the classic red and black buffalo plaid and then a few weeks later as a bridesmaid gift my friend got us all a super cute blue plaid! Word of warning, these shirts have straight up crazy Asian sizing. The shirt I bought myself is a 4XL which is equivalent to a US 10, it fits fine but is more fitted vs. more relaxed. When my friend ordered the bridesmaids shirt I had her go one size up to a 5XL and that one is definitely more comfortable. The quality on these shirts is amazing. When I bought mine at the end of August it was $11.99 and it’s showing up as $19.99 right now, still well worth it, but hopefully they will drop the price back down. <img src="/assets/57edabcaa0b5dd12b6103012/ochenta_plaid.jpg" alt="Alt text" /> <a href="http://amzn.to/2ddPfZj">Plaid flannel tunic shirt</a></p> <p>After that shirt turned out amazing I decided to look at more tunic type shirts. I feel like I have trouble finding nice basic tunics in stores and saw a ton on Amazon so I started reading reviews and tried the maroon one first. $13!! I read a bunch of reviews and decided to go with a large (I am in between mediums and larges right now) and am glad I did. I love the fit and fabric. I don’t like shirts that are too heavy, I like to layer. I wear a cami underneath and as it gets colder could easily add a cute cardigan on top of this. It has a high-low hem and covers my bum perfectly for wearing with leggings and comes down long enough in the front too! After that success I got two more from the same company, the grey one has a little more interest with the hemline, and it’s a little longer than the first one I got. Only $14.20!!! I also got another basic one in black, this has more of a sharkbite hem, but not super obvious. Only $12.45!!! <img src="/assets/57eda858a0b5dd12b6102a5b/tunics.jpg" alt="Alt text" /> <a href="http://amzn.to/2ddOS0P">Maroon tunic</a> ||| <a href="http://amzn.to/2ddOQpL">Grey tunic</a> ||| <a href="http://amzn.to/2cPcaJU">Black tunic</a></p> <p>These are all by the brand Frumos and they have a ton of different styles and each style has a bunch of different colors and even prints.</p> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td><a href="http://amzn.to/2cF77gD">Basic 3/4 sleeve tunic</a></td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td><a href="http://amzn.to/2deZr26">High-low 3/4 sleeve tunic</a></td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td><a href="http://amzn.to/2dqB9jX">Handkerchief hem tunic</a></td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td><a href="http://amzn.to/2df0IWE">3/4 sleeve ruffle hem tunic</a></td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td><a href="http://amzn.to/2dDKjuZ">V-neck tunic</a></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>THIS is the next one I want to try - <a href="http://amzn.to/2dDJLVT">drape front high-low tunic</a>!</p> <p>Ok, then I had all these great tunics and wanted more fun leggings! So, off to read more reviews… I settled on a pair from VIV Collection that had tons of good reviews and they offer a TON of prints! I started with this “baby leopard” print. Super cute with black boots and a black tunic. These leggings are buttery soft, and stay up all day, no tugging or hiking them up. I wore them to work out this morning, then changed my top and went to help a friend unpack, wore them the rest of the day while editing photos, wrangling kids, and making dinner, and I will likely wear them to bed. These leggings are only $11.99!!!!! Half the price of some other buttery soft leggings I like! <img src="/assets/57eda671a0b5dd12c0026623/baby_leopard_leggings.jpg" alt="Alt text" /> <a href="http://amzn.to/2dqtnqq">“baby leopard” leggings</a></p> <p>Here are some other prints I am eyeing! <img src="/assets/57eda582a0b5dd12b6102296/layout_width/Viv_leggings.jpg" alt="Alt text" /></p> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td><a href="http://amzn.to/2cF3ozo">Black w/ flowers</a></td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td><a href="http://amzn.to/2dbjxhO">“Atlantis” print</a></td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td><a href="http://amzn.to/2dbk5nw">Christmas leggings!!!</a></td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td><a href="http://amzn.to/2ddNpaM">Halloween leggings!!!</a></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>There are like 150 print options, but they are broken up into different listings, the regular size fits like a LLR one size legging. <a href="http://amzn.to/2deWWNj">VIV leggings 1</a> ||| <a href="http://amzn.to/2dIukOU">VIV leggings 2</a> ||| <a href="http://amzn.to/2ddSEr8">VIV leggings 3</a> ||| <a href="http://amzn.to/2ddSr7c">Holiday leggings</a> ||| <a href="http://amzn.to/2dItJwC">Random/cool maybe Halloween-esque leggings</a> </p> <p>They also have plus size leggings which according to some reviews fit like a LLR tall and curvy leggings. <a href="http://amzn.to/2dyMJyC">Plus size leggings 1</a> ||| <a href="http://amzn.to/2dbo1F3">Plus size leggings 2</a></p> <p>If I try more things and like them I will add them to this post!</p> <p>P.S. these are Amazon Affiliate links, but all to items I have purchased and truly like or the last few leggings are in my shopping cart waiting to be purchased!</p> Cristina Herschberger http://theherschbergers.com/blog/archives/2016/02/05/project-36536/ 2016-02-05T14:45:19-05:00 2016-02-05T14:45:00-05:00

<p>Today we had a great time decorating sugar cookies with some friends! It was messy, it was good sensory play, and it was yummy!</p>

<p>I didn’t take any pictures with my “big camera” today but I did find this one on my cell phone so I will post it. Simon brought some cars up from the basement so I pulled out this activity rug, and he then went and got his trees from the basement and put the trees on the trees!</p>

<p>In September I started doing Tot School with Simon. I only made it a couple weeks before I got insanely busy with fall photography and getting ready for Betsy, but finally now I felt like my schedule had slowed down enough, and Simon was really needing more stimulation, so I got together with some friends and we made a plan for the upcoming weeks. This week was animals and I so enjoyed watching Simon as he learned some new animals!</p>

<p>I promise we don’t usually let Simon watch TV like this, haha. I came out of my bedroom early this Sunday morning and Simon had hoarded all his books and toys into his cardboard box and was watching Curious George.</p>

<p>This Saturday Betsy-girl went with me to two photoshoots. The first one was for the blogger I work for and I needed to be down on the floor taking photos so I took her out of the BabyBjorn and she snoozed away and sucked her a thumb (a new thing for her that she is doing more frequently).</p>

<p>What a fun day Simon had! We played outside which we rarely do, and we got out his vet clinic toys, which we regularly do, but for the first time he decided he would put on the whole vet costume I got on sale after Halloween!</p>

<p>So many of my photos are at the end of the day as I scramble to get a picture for the day. This evening Betsy was happy and alert doing some tummy time and Simon came out of the bath to find a freshly emptied Amazon box to play with.</p>

<p>I have been letting Simon read books up on my bed while I get ready in the morning and he loves it so far (usually he is not allowed up on the bed!). He has also been looking at this photo book with his baby photos and saying that the baby is “baby etsy.” </p>

<p>I read a blog post the other day with a bunch of “must have” items for putting together toddler activities and I ended up purchasing 5 items from the list. These water beads were one of them and this was the first time we used them, lots of fun! Oh, and the shower curtain liner was one of the items on the list too, put it under your activity and when you’re all done throw it in the washer!!</p>
