Archers {{Birthday}} Month + giveaways + deals and much more!

Holy cow, how can it already be February?  I swear I was just finding out I was pregnant, now I have a almost one year old?!  Time really does fly by SO quickly and its such a bitter sweet emotion.  I love being able to watch Archer grow up and learn new things but I am dying for my sweet, soft newborn to be back in my arms.

The love I have for my little guy is out of this world.  I never understood motherhood but after having Archer its crystal clear.  I don't feel that you are ready for a baby or motherhood in anyway.. But you learn to adapt with the struggles, happiness, and trials that come with becoming a mother.  Nobody prepares you for the emotions you feel when they lay that little baby on your chest and when you want to get so mad at him for playing in the toilet but he looks at you with these eyes and your heart just melts.

All these emotions can come in a later blog post but for now I am here to share some of my favorite small business shops that have kept Archer stylin and oh so cute!  Make sure to head to my instagram @shalynyardley_ for some awesome giveaways going on during February!

chicken bacon broccoli pasta mix

Sharing one of my favorite recipes today, chicken, bacon, broccoli pasta mix.  Seriously guys this is so good and T & Archie scarfed it down.  It took me about an hour to make everything but once it was all done all I had to do was mix it and we were good to go.  Archer eats pasta the best out of any other food so we eat spaghetti a lot.  I get sick of the same old recipe and our pedi said to start to introduce Archer to some other types of pasta so he doesn't become a picky eater.  I was glad this turned out good and even more so because I got T to actually eat some vegetables.  I think he's more picky then Archer is when it comes to veggies! Anyways make sure to whip this up one night because you won't regret it. 

Ingredients // 

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 lb chicken breast (boneless & skinless) 
• salt and pepper 
• 2/3 cups heavy cream
• 2/3 cups milk
• 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
• 8 oz fettuccine
• 1 bag of the frozen broccoli flourets 
• 7 strips cooked bacon
• salt and pepper

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil on medium-high heat in a large skillet. Season chicken breast with salt and pepper. Cook chicken breast on high heat for 2 to 4 minutes on each side, until browned, then remove the skillet from heat and keep the chicken covered to continue cooking it in its own steam until no longer pink. Remove chicken from the skillet. You can also use pre-cooked chicken. Cut chicken into thin slices.
2. Add minced garlic to the skillet. Add heavy cream, milk, bring to boil. Add cheese and stir till it completely melts.
3. Cook pasta according to instructions. Drain.
4. Add cooked pasta, cooked bacon, cooked broccoli and mix everything in. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Top with sliced cooked chicken.

Product {Review}

Okay, I have been such a bad bad blogger lately.  Life is extremely crazy!  I am working full time, we are always out of town on weekends, and I am hoping life slows way down because this mama is tired.  Anyways, I have been getting Archers Christmas list stacked with all sorts of goodies and this season I obsessed with buffalo plaid.  I honestly don't know why because I am not a red person AT ALL.  But everything about this print screams to me and I buy anything and everything that is Buffalo Plaid.  Back to my post- I purchased this blanket from Love & Lullabies off instagram.  I seen their blankets but I have never really ordered Archer blankets from offline because I love to feel them first.  But, when I saw this blanket I had to buy it.  I bet you guessed... its buffalo plaid with faux fur.  Seriously. So with this being said - (this review is no way sponsored by Love & lullabies)

Love & lullabies
I purchased this blanket and received it yesterday.  It was suppose to be saved for Christmas but once I opened it, saw it and felt it... Archer was having it now!  So with that being said, he is currently snuggled up with his blanket watching cartoons and I am one happy mama.  It really is so soft, even the red fabric is soft and the faux fur is my favorite.  It is a pretty good sized, and will be nice when it gets cold to wrap him up!  The only downfall was I was impatient and wanted my blanket now, and since everything she makes is homemade it took some time, but it was worth the wait.  Not to mention Alyssa is so nice and kind, which always makes me want to continue purchasing from small shops if they are kind and sincere.

I highly recommend this shop to any friends with little ones to go and purchase.  I know I will be purchasing again... AND to top it off Alyssa has offered all my readers and instagram followers a discount code - enter      archer15      at checkout for 15% off your total purchase.

I haven't been the best at updated about our little Archie poo!  These last couple of months I have been one crazy woman.  Between working 40+ hours a week, photographing like crazy, being a full time wife and mom I hardly have time to just relax and do what I love to do... blog!  So prepare yourself for a couple of blog posts updating on our adventures.

7 months has flew by.  I have been working full time at desert Endodontics and I LOVE it there.  We have been having fun doing fun fall activities and enjoying the cooler, but yet warm weather! 

9/26/2015

Today we went to the Swiss Days in St. George and went to the car show.  We had kilo italian ice and a yummy tropical punch drink and spent our day looking at old, fancy cars.  Archer loves to go out and about and it was better then sitting home on a Saturday.  Afterwards, we hit Target and got Archer some new winter clothes, a sippy cup and you can't leave without a new toy.  We ate at Olive Garden and T is now building me a brand new dining table!! Yay!  I cannot wait to get a new, bigger one in there and I love that he is building it.  I love having a handy husband that can build just about anything and I love having a dining room with a soon to be big table for us to sit down and enjoy dinner time together.  Todays outfit was based around the fact that A. its still 90 degrees outside so warm enough for short sleeves & sandals but B. I want fall and cooler weather so I managed jeans instead of shorts/capris.

The top is a new purchase from Maurices the other day and is so soft.  It is a suede material and I love the floral print.  I am becoming obsessed with floral print.

My jeans I couldn't find on Bohme's website but they are flying monkey and the boyfriend style.  You can find a similar jean here. 

Sandals are a couple years old but are American Eagle brand.  They haven't worn out and are super comfy.


Stroller is a Jeep Adventure Jogging Stroller.  It is my favorite stroller ever made and I am so glad I purchased it.  Since purchasing they have came out with an newer model and I so wish I had it, but I love the one I do have.

Archer is wearing a Tee from Charlie & Chomper and his shorties are from Monsters Under My Bed Co and moccs are Freshly Picked.

Hope you all had an awesome Saturday!

September Favorites ||

It is almost October, I cannot even believe that.  Archer just turned 7 months old and I cannot even believe that.  September flew by and I have a bunch of monthly favorites that I want to share.

Beauty & Style ||

1. Too Faced "born this way" foundation.  I ran out of my foundation and went to Ulta to buy a new one..  They talked me into buying the too faced, born this way foundation and I am so glad I did.  It is one of my favorite foundations and covers but also feels light weight.  I don't like foundation that is cakey and thick, but I like it to cover.  This does just the trick.

2. Naked Smokey Palette // I bought this palette at a Ulta Urban Decay event and I LOVE it.  It is super pigmented and works good for smokey eyes.  It has every color that I would wear, and has glimmer & also a couple matte shadows.

3. Lorac Unzipped Gold Palette / I purchased this little beauty off the app POSH.  Someone swatched it and was selling it for half price!! So I snagged it and I love it.  The colors are so pigmented and metallic.  I get so many compliments on my eye shadow.

5. Babe Extensions // I love babe hair and I have worn their hair before but I just recently went and purchased new 22 inch extensions and I just love babe hair.

6. Alex & Ani Bracelets // My friend Barbie got me hooked on these and now I am obsessed.  I have three of them but I am wanting more!  I purchased mine used off of POSH because I didn't want to pay full price for one and the ones I loved were last seasons.  Currently I have a feather, a seahorse in honor of my niece who passed away, and a half of heart with friends.  The other half with Best is with my best friend Kenadee. (throwing it back to middle school haha.)

7. Jamberry // I got hooked with jamberry from a friends party and I decided to sign up to sell it myself.  I absolutely love how they look on my  nails and they work so much better then nail polish.

1. Jersey Sheets from Target.  I just upgraded my sheets and picked out these jersey sheets from target and I am loving them.  They are stretchy, soft and feels so good to snuggly up in!

2. Bath & Body Works "Caramel Pumpkin Swirl" candle+wall flowers.  This scent is oh so yummy and I filled my whole house with wall flowers + candles and it smells amazing.

3. Chalkboards || I have always liked chalkboards but i am kind of obsessed now.  I have them all over my home and I just purchased a calendar style chalkboard and I love it.

4. Magic Erasers || These aren't too new but they take anything off.  That cute chalkboard I just mentioned above, yeah well I Accidentally wrote on it with permanent marker (i thought i was a white chalkboard marker) and well nothing would take it off.  I almost just threw the chalkboard away when I tried a magic eraser and it came right off!!

 5. Honest Company Diapers || I absolutely love these diapers for Archer.  Not only are they the cutest diapers ever made but they are just so amazing.  He never leaks or blows out and have I mentioned I am in love with their cute prints? I also LOVE their cleaning line. I use the cleaning spray and it smells so good and works amazing.  Plus I love that it is all natural so if I use it to clean anything of archers and he puts it in his mouth he will be okay!
