Celebrate Diversity

Divine Baby Luxury Baby Quilts

Hey lovelies! I'm taking a short break from the regular Monday, "Pinning" party to give my hands and wrists some healing time. In the mean time, I'm back with a vlog to share with you about Divine Baby luxury baby quilts. I had the privilege of reviewing one of these gorgeous heirloom quality blankets with my daughter Zion, and I think that you would really love them.

Divine Baby luxury baby quilts are a great way to celebrate your child's heritage. The blankets are heirloom quality, made of 250 thread count cotton and stitched beautifully! They currently come in four different styles, featuring vibrant colors and designs.

The Divine Baby Story:

"Divine Baby is a unique line of baby products that celebrates the beauty of cultural diversity through timeless, heirloom-quality keepsakes. We know how precious your children are to you, and we believe that all babies benefit from nurturing moments shared with those who love them. Our gorgeously illustrated board books, ultra-luxurious baby blankets and other products are meant for families to share and to pass down through the generations."

How do you celebrate your family heritage with your child? Which divine baby blanket is your favorite!?

We received complimentary product from Divine Baby for this review, as always all opinions expressed in this review are my own.

The Wrap

Seems like forever ago that I posted some of the images of our life in the city. My recent slew of fun - carpal tunnel, Zion having a cold, Hubs endless studying has made it less convenient to post whenever I want, but its been really good at the same time. Here are some images from life over the past few weeks.

Now that we're caught up. How are you? How has your week been so far?

When it Rains...

Guys when it rains, sometimes it really does pour - not only has it been literally raining outside all day today, my life has been a bit inundated. I decided it was time to do a coffee date vlog - so here you go - its a little on the bummer side, but if I'm being honest - this is where I am at in life right now!

I mentioned my friend Kristina (Big Apple Mami) in the video - and seriously she has been such an amazing friend and encouragement in my life. I'm also really grateful for my good friend Meredith - another mama in my community who has really been there for me! I'm humbled by the ~~community~~ family God has provided for us in New York!

Before I go spend the weekend trying to give my hands an extended rest - make sure you max out your entries in the Blog Anniversary / 31st Birthday giveaway! Winners will be chosen tomorrow - and announced on Monday! <3

And can I get your vote once more on Top Baby Blogs? I'd love to stay ranked in the top 10 in order to bring more fantastic opportunities your way! <3 Just click this link here and then the Owl on the left!

Hope you all have a great weekend! See you next week!

Linking up with Alissa today.

The Pretty Physicist

Meet Jessica

Tell us about you >>>
I am a twenty-something physicist, working as an engineer at a battery company. I went to college with all guys, and I work with all guys, so blogging is my link to my girly side. My mantra in everything that I do is: Who says smart can't be pretty? It's something I wish I had realized back in high school, back when I thought it wasn't cool to be smart. I love to read, shop, cook, and I love all things Hello Kitty.

Tell us about your family >>> I live with my husband of 5 1/2 years in south central PA. My husband works in IT at a local university. We have 4 cats - Callie, Mittens, Autumn, and Einstein. Hopefully in the next year or so, we'll be adding a human baby to the mix (after my upcoming surgery).

Tell us about your blog >>> I blog about everything - from cooking to reading to my life in general. My blog is my outlet for everything going through my head, so it is a lot of randomness. I am 100% myself, and I think I'm pretty entertaining - at least I hope I am!

Anything else you want to share >>> I have 4 stress fractures in my lumbar spine from an old gymnastics injury. I've had this pain for about 14+ years. It is finally going to be repaired with surgery in the beginning of October. Once my surgery is over and I start recovery, I will start to feature fitness more on my blog once I am allowed to do things again (and they aren't painful). One of the first things I plan to do is to run a 5K!
