“I’ve got sunshine… on a cloudy day.”
The marvelous sun has been teasing us these days; sometimes cloudy, sometimes sunny and of course rain. I am looking forward to some beach weather.
For now the park with the sandbox will do. 😉
Marvelous is burgers! With twins, my iron levels have been pretty low. I’ve been trying to up my iron intake with the prenatal vitamin plus with food. 
I had an angus beef burger with lettuce, tomatoes and a slice of Swiss cheese in a wrap. It was so good and hit the spot! I’ve been craving it every other week or so.
Marvelous is Bagels! Speaking of cravings, bagels is on my list this time around as it was when I was pregnant with Sammy. 
I’ve been loving the new Sprouted Grain Vegan bagel from Starbucks. Hit’s the spot and actually fills me up better than other whole grain bagels.
Marvelous is sweater weather! Although I do want summer, I do enjoy a crisp “fall” breeze in the air here and there.
How cute is that Hello Kitty sweater my mom got Sammy?
Marvelous is Hollar.com: Hollar is an online “dollar store.” Do It On A Dime featured them one of her videos. She rocks for cheap DIY and organizing tips!
There are plenty of items that are above $1 but you can find almost anything you can think of from snacks to household needs. I love online shopping, especially if I have some free time on my break at work. 
We’ve been needing an HDMI cable and I got this one for only $5 (works perfect). I also got this corner rack to make space in our pots and pan cabinet.
It’s technically for plates but she used it for the pots and I loved it – less noise too. I got all of these items for under $35.00 and free shipping. I will definitely be ordering again from Hollar.
That’s it for this edition of Marvelous in My Monday!
Hope everyone is having a fabulous Monday. :-)
First trimester… second time around is 100 times worse. Know why? 
I think I was nauseous and fatigued from about 3 weeks (if I had to guess). At 6 weeks, my morning sickness was through the roof, my migraines have been killing me and I have been so much more tired. I dealt with morning sickness and migraines with 
My fitness routine, has drastically changed sooner then when I was pregnant with Sammy. I’ve just been trying to walk and move whenever I can (aka active rest day). Squats and jumping are extremely uncomfortable sooner this time (took be about 24+ weeks last time).
I was craving green beans for the longest but now all I want is bagels, cereal & Cheez-it’s (which I haven’t eaten since junior high school). Coffee was the first thing to go. I really haven’t drank coffee since our “
We are very excited and nervous all at once. This is going to be quite to experience, especially already having a toddler on hand. Hoping to get Sammy potty trained before the winter (no pressure, of course), that would just be a huge help on diaper costs.
Marvelous is… Pregnancy Announcements:
It was quite the shock but we are excited for our family of five adventure. It’s what I experienced growing up being the oldest of three.
Marvelous is… Stonyfield’s Fair (5/13): Mother’s day was celebrated a day earlier at the Gendrons. I really wanted to go this fair for the last two year and we finally made it!
There were so many marvelous vendors; 
Stonyfield yogurt (of course), American Flatbread, Applegate, Cliff bars and other local shops and spots in New Hampshire. 
Marvelous is… Beach weather! I love being able to go outside and enjoy the sand in my toes and feeling the breeze from the water. 
It’s a nice break from being indoors and finding activities to do when it’s “not so marvelous” outside. Not to mention Sammy loves playing in the sand and stays pretty occupied.
Marvelous is… Breakfast Kind bars: There are some days that I have to work at 4:30am and no way am I eating breakfast at home at 3:45 in the morning.
I am dropping in to review a few products from my 
Conditioner:
Face + Body Lotion
Out of the five products, my favorites were the healing balm and the lotion. Samantha’s eczema has been acting up and this balm took care of it like a charm (not to mention some severe dry skin that I had on my nose).
The shampoo/ wash smelled pretty good and the soap was great. I did also like the multi-surface spray cleaner, but I normally just get the 
Sometimes they have story-time and sometimes they have a bunch of fun toys for them to play with. Fridays she has “Playschool.”
I will say, eating has been tough! She goes through her phases but at least still eats a decent variety.
Current food likes:
This year so far we were plague by Samantha’s first [double] ear infection and mom got a respiratory infection soon after. It was not a fun couple of weeks, but in good news we are finally moving to a bigger space! 
We’ve been looking since July and it has not been easy because we have to be pretty specific on our needs – which isn’t a bad thing. I’ll be sharing more on that later next month once we are nice and settled.
I would say, she really started to love books at about 7-8 months. I try to take her to the library every week for story time and she has a blast! Right now these are her” go-to’s:”
Came with everything you see plus drumsticks. [At the time of the photo Samantha has misplaced them and we also put the trumpet away for now]. She uses it every day and was definitely a great gift for her.
Our family has done a bit of traveling with our daughter. We’ve traveled this year in March (3 hour plane ride),
