<br />
My little guy is growing up! He's almost 3.5 and it is time to clean out our Jack clothes so we can buy some bigger sizes. Please email me at magnoliasmarriageandmanhattan @ gmail dot com with which items you want and I will update as they sell.<br />
<br />
I only accept paypal and confirmed shipping addresses. You will have 48 hours to pay and then I will cancel invoice and go to next interested buyer. Shipping is $5.50 for the 1st item and $1.00 extra for each additional item. I will combine as much as I can fit in the envelope! Local pickups can also be arranged if you live in Atlanta area. Email me for details. If payment has cleared, then I will ship items 7/2, 7/3 and then not again until week of 7/9.<br />
<br />
Here is how I rank their condition:<br />
<br />
Well Loved: Darker spots and/or small tears. Perfect clothes to send in the "change of clothes ziplock" to school or MMO or to wear for art projects and still look cute!<br />
<br />
Play Condition: Some small spots and minor pulls on some threads, but nothing I wouldn't send my own child in to school in. Lots of wear left!<br />
<br />
Like New: Rarely worn, no stains<br />
<br />
All clothes are only washed in Tide Free and Clear detergent. I will send them clean, but not ironed! =) Please pass this info along to any Jack or "J" Mamas you might know! Feel free to email me with any questions. All sales are final!<br />

J is going to be a wonderful big brother and is VERY excited about his baby brother (and his balloons). <br />
A is excited about the thousands of dollars he'll save on clothes. I'm happy to continue my reign as Queen of our home! Thank goodness I have Daisy. =) Our family could not be more thrilled to welcome another loud, crazy, stinky and sweet baby boy into our home. I just keep pinching myself. I'm so thankful to God for my boys. All THREE of them! I have always though I would be the proud Mama of 3 boys. 2 down...<br />
<br />
More pictures to come later of Master U2. He waved at us during his ultrasound and showed us his precious little feet a few times. I can't wait to kiss his chubby little cheeks. Thank you for your prayers and thoughts this morning. We are SO THRILLED! OH BOY, OH BOY!

It has been awhile since I've written. I think this is my longest break in my 4.5 years blogging. I feel like I'm not too out of touch because I spend a good amount of time on twitter talking to most of you, but for those that don't tweet. I'll give you the quick run down of the last few months. <br />
<br />
We put 3 offers on different houses before we finally had one accepted. We were so excited, only to find out our house didn't appraise. We thought we were going to lose the house, only to find out at the very last minute the sellers accepted the drastic price reduction. Win, win! Talk about STRESS. We closed on our new house about a month ago. We painted a few things and go the floors refinished. A and Daisy drove from NYC to Atlanta and J and I went to my parent's in South Alabama for a few weeks to wait on the movers arrival. They were a WEEK late! (We'll save that for another post.) They finally arrived this past Wednesday and we are up to our noses in a sea of boxes right now, the perfect time to start blogging again. =) <br />
<br />
In the middle of the craziness of this summer, we found out some very exciting news....<br />

While immediate needs are important, a special birthday party in the eye of a child could make their year. Some of these children are lost their homes, lost parents, lost their friends, pets, schools, etc. Knowing how much my readers love to help plan a good birthday party, I thought perhaps some of you might want to help give a child a special day to make them smile! I would love to hear if you participate! <br />

Go to <a href="http://diapers.com/">diapers.com</a> and buy something from a registry set up to help victims! Look under the names Brooke Rhind and Kate Fix. There is no shipping fee and the items will all be sent to Birmingham. Kate Harvill Fix will be delivering them next week! (This is a friend of a friend that is doing this, and I have already done it...so it is legit!) There are so many people that need your help, but as a Mom I can't imagine not having diapers, wipes or food for my child. Please help.</span><br />

You can find my post here about <a href="http://magnoliasmarriageandmanhattan.blogspot.com/2009/10/tips-for-traveling-with-baby.html">traveling with an infant</a> and <a href="http://magnoliasmarriageandmanhattan.blogspot.com/2010/06/tips-for-flying-with-babies-and.html">traveling with a 1 year old year</a>, but now it is is time to update and let you know how I survive (barely) traveling with a two year old.<br />
<br />
Here are my ten tips:<br />
<br />
1) J now gets his own seat! When your little guy turns two, you are required to purchase a seat on most airlines. We fly <a href="http://www.delta.com/">Delta</a> about 99% of the time and they require you to purchase the seat for age two and up. While it hurts to pay the extra money it is well worth it. When it is just J and I traveling, I've recently started booking the window and the isle seat in hopes that no one will book the middle and we can have the entire row. I figure if someone ends up in the middle I can always offer them the window or the isle. It worked on our last trip!<br />
<br />
2) The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/CARES-Child-Aviation-Restraint-System/dp/B001GPKN4Q?ie=UTF8&tag=magnmarrandma-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">CARES harness</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=magnmarrandma-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B001GPKN4Q" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> might be one of the best inventions ever. It basically turns your child's seat into a car seat. Without the harness J would be able to get out of his seat belt. I told J that once we are on the plane, he has to buckle up and now he knows this is just part of the trip. You have to be very careful about the placement of the strap, it should be at their shoulders and not above or below. <br />
<br />

<br />
3) A <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Coby-TFDVD7009-7-Inch-Portable-Player/dp/B0036R76R4?ie=UTF8&tag=magnmarrandma-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">portable DVD player.</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=magnmarrandma-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B0036R76R4" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> We bought the cheapest one we could find (why give my two year old an expensive one). I will admit that we have issues with him opening it up and pushing the buttons, but we've learned that Thomas will disappear if we do that. I also put stickers over the buttons or travel with scotch tape. We use earphones that I already had, but they also make <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kidz-Gear-Wired-Headphones-Kids/dp/B0007NWL70?ie=UTF8&tag=magnmarrandma-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">toddler earphones</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=magnmarrandma-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B0007NWL70" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" />. A friend of mine has them and loves them, I just ordered them for our next trip since above mentioned earphones I already had were involved in an accident on our last flight. (More on that later...)<br />

4) We read a lot of books when our DVD player has to be off. I finally learned (with experience, to pack mostly paperback or small books). Our favorite travel books include:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Amazing-Airplanes-Machines-Tony-Mitton/dp/0753459159?ie=UTF8&tag=magnmarrandma-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">Amazing Airplanes </a><br />

<br />
We also love sticker books! Handing your child an individual sticker and having them place it into a book can burn a good 30 minutes or so. I pick sticker books with themes that J is currently "into" to help keep his attention. On our last few trips we've had the following:<br />

<br />
6) <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Crayola-Wonder-Travel-colors-styles/dp/B001KW0606?ie=UTF8&tag=magnmarrandma-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">Crayola color wonder</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=magnmarrandma-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B001KW0606" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> is the best. They advertise that they are mess free and so far they have been such a great help to us. I bet Delta didn't even notice that we tried to color on the back of the seat and the windows.

7) We travel the most to our families in the South so we don't have to bring our <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Britax-Roundabout-Convertible-Seat-Davenport/dp/B003OUWIJE?ie=UTF8&tag=magnmarrandma-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">car seat</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=magnmarrandma-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B003OUWIJE" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" /> that often (our moms both have their own), but when we do need to bring our car seat we use the<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Childress-Ultimate-Seat-Travel-Black/dp/B0009RNXNA?ie=UTF8&tag=magnmarrandma-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank"> jl childress cover</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=magnmarrandma-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B0009RNXNA" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" /> and check it with our luggage. It has straps to carry it on your back and wheels (but they don't work that well). <br />
<br />
8) Traveling with a two year old can be hard because chances are they are going to act out. I don't allow the trip to be an excuse for bad behavior. On our last trip alone, J kept poking the man next to us. I asked him not to do it a good 3-4 times and he continued to laugh and do it. I took him out of his harness and marched him to the back of the plane. The stewardess saw that "Mom look" in my eyes and actually moved the cart out of my way. I told J he was going to time out and I placed him next to the door in the back of the plane facing the corner and sat behind him for our standard 2 minute time out. Yes, I gave my child a time out at 30,000 ft and he quit the poking.<br />
<br />
I also learned NEVER to put J in the middle seat. Even though Delta took him out of his window seat and I didn't want to put him on the aisle (little hands and carts don't mix). I should have just asked the man to switch to the aisle, he probably would appreciated that more than being poked. Lesson learned.<br />
<br />
9) Don't forget a change of clothes. One of these times you are going to need it (above mentioned accident). On our last trip A and I were upgraded to first class. J was not. HA! The plane was overbooked and I'm guessing <a href="http://www.delta.com/">Delta</a> didn't want me to put J back there in coach by himself, so A gladly went to coach so J and I could travel in luxury. If you have the funds (or the miles) that is the WAY to go. J was SCREAMING for milk (I normally fill his sippy cup right before we board) and the sweet stewardess immediately obliged. J then became memorized with his own his personal tv and we were good to go! When we were being served dinner, I learned the options were not kid friendly. Not to worry, I wasn't expecting dinner anyways so I popped out J's peanut butter sandwich. The stewardess asked him if he wanted anything and he told her, "cake, please." Ha! She showed up with a brownie seconds later. (Nice service, hope he doesn't get used to it!) I actually cut the brownie in small pieces. I don't normally cut most small soft foods anymore, but for some reason I did this time. Good thing. Minutes later, J was stuffing his face with the brownie and started gagging. I had just been served my plated dinner and a glass of wine and was toasting my life when this happened. I automatically held my hand out for him to spit out the brownie and he proceeded to throw it up...in my hand. Thanks J. The stewardesses scrambled with hot towels to assist me in the clean up and removed my dinner tray so I could begin the clean up process. Daddy randomly showed up (thank God!) to help and I was able to do a quick change of clothes thanks to my extra set. That my friends, is why you have an extra set of clothes in a gallon size quart baggie. Gross clothes went in the baggie, I washed my hands and we went back to watching satellite tv in first class.<br />

10) I bring <a href="http://www.katespade.com/designer-handbags/fabric-purses/fashion-nylon-stevie-baby-bag/PXRU2229,default,pd.html?dwvar_PXRU2229_color=400&start=1&cgid=baby-items">my diaper bag</a> (my stevie is green and white stripes if you were wondering and I love it as a toddler diaper bag!) and a <a href="http://www.vineyardvines.com/product__49105_____14698_13051">Vineyard Vines tote</a> for all of our trips. I pack the VV tote with all the fun stuff (books, snacks, etc) and the diaper Bag has only necessities. I love that the VV tote is just the right size and it has a zipper so that things won't spill out all over the floor of the plane.<br />
<br />
Hope these tips help you on your next plane ride with your toddler!<br />

Do you travel a lot? What tips do you have?<br />

<br />
1) My <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Prodyne-Infusion-93-Ounce-Natural-Pitcher/dp/B0023UL86A?ie=UTF8&tag=magnmarrandma-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">fruit infusion water pitcher</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=magnmarrandma-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B0023UL86A" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" />. It is such a great way to get you drink more water! You put fruit in the little tube and then you just refill the water. We've tried doing lemons, limes, oranges and cucumber and mint. I have really started drinking more water because of this pitcher. <br />

<br />
2) New flash deal sites that are popping up! The latest I have found are <a href="http://www.bitsybug.com/?r=1B207155-0309">Bitsy Bug</a> and <a href="http://www.littlebirdie.com/?ref=FWT9176818">Little Bird</a> for NYC and Atlanta Moms. I just love all the great deals I've been getting! <br />
<br />
3) My <a href="http://www.potterybarn.com/products/linen-tissue-box-cover/">Pottery Barn tissue cover</a>. I gave these as gifts this past Christmas and everyone just loves them. I bought two for myself and they seriously have made me smile every time I've needed a tissue. They are GREAT gifts! Go get a few.<br />

We just returned home from round one of our house search and I couldn't have done it without the harness. I highly recommend it for traveling with your toddler! I promise I'll do an updated travel post soon.<br />
<br />
5) Running out of things to do with your little one? An old classmate of mine from Atlanta created<a href="http://taylortimeonline.com/"> this website for Moms</a>. It is simply amazing, you must check it out!<br />
<br />
<b>Now Five Questions for YOU!</b><br />
<br />
1) What is your favorite home or decorating magazine? I'm getting so excited about decorating our new home. I want to go ahead and start some inspiration files. I would love any tips you have!<br />
<br />
2) One of the first purchases we'll have to make is mattresses. How exciting! We have our mattress, but J is still in his crib. We'll move him into a single bed and we want to upgrade our queen to a king. So we'll need 2 twin mattresses and a king and maybe another queen. What kind do you have? Any recommendations?<br />
<br />
3) We're planning to go to Chicago in May. Do you have any recommendations on where to eat? We'll have J with us, so would love to know some family friendly sights to see. I've only been twice so I'm very excited. We are going for my SIL's graduation from seminary!<br />
<br />
4) Atlanta friends, if you have recommendations on babysitters, house keepers, painters, inspectors, yard guys, etc, etc, etc. Send them my way! I'm starting my "can't live without them" file. magnoliasmarriage and manhattan at gmail dot com<br />
<br />
5) Does anyone have any tips on saving money while renting a car? Our car rental bill was so high (as was our hotel bill). A simple house hunting trip costs as much as a nice vacation. Since we are going to need to go again, would love any tips you have to share!MMMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14682903805842220422noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4112948848251367407.post-83597584213810088542011-03-20T15:14:00.000-04:002011-03-20T15:14:27.854-04:00<div style="text-align: center;">Thank you to everyone that entered the <a href="http://www.jmclaughlin.com/index.cfm">J.

McLaughlin Giveaway<a href="http://www.jmclaughlin.com/category.cfm?CurrentPage=1&style=WOMENS-NEW%20ARRIVALS">J. McLaughlin</a> has been a longtime leader in all things preppy. They opened their first store over 30 years ago and are still going strong! Their<a href="http://www.jmclaughlin.com/stores.cfm"> retail stores</a> can be found in 16 states and DC and their <a href="http://www.jmclaughlin.com/index.cfm">online site</a> is easy to navigate.<br />
<br />
Here are a few of my current favorites on their website. They have me wishing for budding tulips on Park Avenue and boat drinks at the beach! <br />

McLaughlin to give one very lucky MMM reader <a href="http://www.jmclaughlin.com/products2.cfm?color_pic=NATURAL&id=11863&cfid=1992751&cftoken=89622924&attr1=20136&dept=ACCESSORIES&typ=WOMENS-ACCESSORIES&subtyp_1=HANDBAGS">an adorable bamboo clutch in natural</a>. (It retails for $150.00!!) Just think how cute you will look toting this clutch with your white jeans and blue and white stripe top! What outfit DOESN'T this clutch go with?<br />

As you know, I LOVE stationery. I really love it when someone introduces me to something that looks different. Knotted Notes have a classic clean look with ribbon and cute charms. I swear, put a little preppy grosgrain ribbon on something and I'll buy it! I can see preteen girls absolutely LOVING these cards and I know my Mom will think they are fridge worthy. Here are a few of my favorite Knotted Notes:<br />

That is right, I've been blogging for four years now. Wow! That's a lot of posts. We've been through a lot together. You helped me plan my wedding. You gave me encouragement the night before I moved to NYC. You patiently listened as I learned my way around the city. You helped me pick the best baby gear and maternity wear. You showered me with sweet comments and love when Baby J was born. You helped me through learning about babies and toddlers. You encouraged my obsession with all things preppy and monogrammed. You were there to pray for me when I was down. You were the first to offer your congrats at any good news. You've helped me pick birthday presents, baby gifts and hostess gifts for all occasions. You've offered your opinions and your friendship. I've had to the chance to meet so many of you and some of you will be my friend for life. I want you to know that each of you (if we have met of not) has helped me along my journey this past four years. You are a special part of my life. Well friends, I am about to embark on my next journey!<br />
<br />
When A told me we were moving to NYC he said it would be for a year or two, and here we are almost four years later living in our third apt with our two year old son. Ha! NYC was never meant to be our forever home. We are born and bred Southerners and always hoped to get back "home" someday. NYC has managed to steal our hearts and it will forever be a part of us. But, it is time. We are officially packing up heading home to the South this summer.<br />
<br />
Almost sixteen years ago, I bawled as the Atlanta skyline disappeared in the distance. I was 14 and my parents decided to move us to Alabama. I had never moved in my entire life and it was one of the hardest things I ever did. It was also one of the best things that ever happened to met. It was with that wisdom that I knew when I left Alabama four years ago for "the big city" it would forever shape who I am. In the funny little circle of life, I now find myself heading back to my original home of Atlanta, Ga. I leave NYC with a heavy heart, but I'm so confident about the direction my family is heading. I can't wait to share all the details that I've had to keep private for so long! We are SO excited!MMMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14682903805842220422noreply@blogger.com20tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4112948848251367407.post-62144736425407336132011-02-03T14:39:00.000-05:002011-02-03T14:39:28.017-05:00Taxi Cab Party-Part 4-The Little Extras<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-6o7OTyUs9olsKkjZN26ClMClXEddLd2Q8yPmh3UojNNHtWZpE2QxgJdiVW6N6RwBcsPGuIhyn6grjB16R6MbWcCMk_eHONrFJyyhHbaAHCDHe5Cyo5Iqx3Lb1aaBN6I5rfbUaZWga74/s1600/IMG_0002-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-6o7OTyUs9olsKkjZN26ClMClXEddLd2Q8yPmh3UojNNHtWZpE2QxgJdiVW6N6RwBcsPGuIhyn6grjB16R6MbWcCMk_eHONrFJyyhHbaAHCDHe5Cyo5Iqx3Lb1aaBN6I5rfbUaZWga74/s400/IMG_0002-1.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />

J's adorable taxi 2 shirt was made by Lauren from <a href="http://www.bloomingbabiesboutique.com/">Blooming Babies Boutique</a> (same vendor that made the banner this year and last year). My "big boy" refuses to wear a bib, so he put his special shirt on over his taxi longall for cake time! He now wants to wear both EVERY day. Lauren also made J's sweet birthday hat. Isn't it cute?<br />

In addition to their pinata goodies, we sent each child home with a yellow bag with a taxi cab craft (pic above), and a yellow birthday rubber ducky. (As a side note, I bought mini taxi cabs for the boys to take home and J found them prior to the party and hid them away in "his stash of cars." I gave up trying to take them back-ha!<br />

The adorable "Jack is Two" sign was made my J's Godmother (and one of my best friends from high school). She sells hand painted signs (<a href="http://twogirlsandagluegun.blogspot.com/">Two Girls and a Glue Gun</a>) and she surprised J (and me) with this adorable canvas sign to match his party! She is the best! Thanks S! <br />

The highlight of the decor was J's taxicab pinata. He kept saying "Whoa, Mama" when he saw it for the first time. I can not recommend etsy seller, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/Birchangel?ga_search_query=pinatas&ga_search_type=handmade">Birchangel Custom Pinatas</a> enough! I see myself ordering MANY more pinatas from her for years to come, so help keep her in business! We went with the pull ribbons since the kids were on the younger side, but they had such a blast each taking their turn to pull a ribbon. My husband just stood on a chair and held it (hey, space is tight in NYC) and it was entertaining for everyone to watch the kids get so excited when the goodies dropped from the sky! I filled the pinata with Thomas the Train stickers, mini play doughs, Welch's fruit snacks, and a pinata toy mix from Oriental Trading.<br />

Last but, certainly not least, all the guests also took home one of the most delicious cookies in the entire world! Another "tradition," I was first introduced to <a href="http://adozeneggs.com/">A Dozen Eggs</a> when Laura sent me a sample when I found out I was pregnant with J. We ordered red wagon cookies last year and J's party was not complete without a taxi cookie for this year! I see this being a yearly thing, so get ready Dave and Laura...I've already warned my husband! A Dozen Eggs can make ANYTHING, just try them! Read about the making of J's cookies <a href="http://adozeneggs.com/wordpress/?p=4765">on their blog</a>.<br />

I hope y'all enjoyed the details of J's 2nd Birthday party! I was an event planner before I became a Mom, so I love to plan events. It is a true labor of love, but I had such a fun time creating this party. I always have to be planning something, so I'm already trying to figure out my next "project." If you use one of the vendors I recommended, please remember to tell them that I sent you. I wish I could have invited each and every one of you! Until the next party...MMMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14682903805842220422noreply@blogger.com16
