Thoughts on Thursday :: 2 Year Old Favorites

Jack {25 months} is into a lot these days, but there are a few items that keep his attention better than the others that I wanted to share with you.  He is also still a huge fan of his "friends" - stuffed animals that he plays with, talks to and sleeps with.  Right now his favorites are a giant stuffed shark and whale.  They must be in his crib on either side of him and he loves to make them kiss! 

We received a lot of these items for his second birthday and I've given a handful of these too in case you need some gift-giving ideas for a two year old tot!

1.  Melissa & Doug Wooden Tool Kit
2.  Fisher Price Junior T-Ball Set
3.  Fisher Price Little People City Skyway

4.  Alphabet Books :: Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, B is for Breakdancing Bear & Animal Alphabet
5.  Sticker Books - This brand of sticker books is the best!  They are colorful and large stickers.  Jack loves to stick them all over himself, in coloring books and all over the house.  Lucky for us they peel off very easily.   
6.  Anything Car & Truck Related

7.  Pirate Step Stool - Jack is absolutely loving being able to climb up in his bathroom and wash his own hands and brush his teeth.  Since he is so into sharks and whales these days, I decided to decorate his bathroom in a nautical theme with taupe and aqua colors.  This step stool goes perfectly with everything I have!  Jack loves the colorful pictures and I love that the top stair also opens for extra storage.  
8.  Aqueduck Products like the Faucet Extender and Handle Extender

9.  Jake's Talking Spyglass
10. Play-Dough Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Mouskatools Set

I am in love with this mug from Anthropologie that I got for Christmas from Nicole!  I'm enjoying a cup of afternoon coffee right now while catching up on blogging...perfect Saturday afternoon.

Favorite Things

Since it's a new year, I've been trying to organize everything!  My closest, my drawers, my pantry.  My bestie, Ashley gave me this CUTE Farmer's Egg Crate from Anthropologie for Christmas.  Although I think it so cute to hold eggs in your refrigerator (and may purchase another for that) I needed another organizer for my earrings, so voila...

This makes me happy every time I open my drawer and choose which earrings to wear.  Thanks Ashel!!!

Favorite Things

I am getting so much use out of this tote lately!  Some days I use it as a purse, but I've also used it to tote around work projects and for a road trip bag.  It's cute on it's own, but can be monogrammed with your name or initials.  It fits on your shoulder perfectly and is lightweight, but sturdy...trust me, I've loaded it up!

Ashley gave me this for my birthday, but you can order one for yourself at Ribbons and Rickrack.  Only $30.00 which includes the personalization! 

Favorite Things

Meet my favorite pair of shoes, Peggyfo, by Nine West.  I first found them in nude at DSW, fell in love and ordered them online in black.  They are so comfortable, go with everything and are nice enough for the office. Plus the peep toe makes them cooler than regular pumps. 

They are $79.00 online at Nine West in a few colors (the "Gray Reptile" is on sale right now for $47.40), but the awesome nude color I have isn't listed.  Try DSW.

Favorite Things

One of my favorite things right now is my new Orla Kiely bag that Jason got me for my birthday!  It is really comfortable to wear, holds everything and the bright colors make me happy.
