What to get for a baby's first or second Christmas?  The under 2 crowd can leave people and even parents scratching their heads since they don't quite ASK for toys yet at least not as assertively as my 4 and half year old does.  As a mom of three I feel like I have some street credibility in the toy department so I've compiled some of my favorites from past years.  I don't love noisy toys I mean who does but I included a few of those of course because there are some e… Read more

1.  Clean your kitchen....yes, seriously.  I know it seems like a given but wipe/clear your counters, empty your sink, do a quick sweep of crumb, clean tables and high chairs, set a clean slate for the next day (only to get messed again, but still!). 2.  Get everything ready....I've said this before in other posts and I'll say it again...purses, jackets, lunches, hats/gloves, backpacks, baby bags...have everything ready to go and in one spot to grab and go in the morning. 3.  … Read more

1.  Maple Pecan Coffee-Loving this new flavor from DD so much that I've even strayed from my go-to Pumpkin Spice for it a several times.  I'd stick with milk or cream only as it is a bit sweet but I'm a fan! 2.  Target Sweaters-I mean it's Target and we all love Target but their sweaters this year are really on point.  Their new lines Knox Rose and A New Day especially.  Look for sales this week, select Knox Rose sweaters were $10 off today. 3.  Leaves Candle by Bath &… Read more

Galvanized metal, cotton, burlap, mason jars, and chalk paint oh my.  We're all pretty much loving that Chip & JoJo modern farmhouse look.  It's understated, inviting and simply beautiful.  You can add a little glam like I like to do or keep it very authentic and rustic. Once you have a few beautiful pieces that set the tone you can really save in the extra touches.   I've gathered some affordable and quick AMAZON finds and I think most of them are even prime. Woo woo… Read more

I'm last minute for a ton of things in life but holiday shopping actually isn't one of them.  I'm ready to start playing Christmas music on November 1 and usually have some of my shopping started.  It is so hard finding the perfect gift but here are a few things FOR HER that won't break the bank and you just can't go wrong with. I've hit up my favorites Target, Nordstrom and the ever so easy Amazon.  Click the photos to shop these items!  PLAID SCARF $16 KENDR… Read more

I love getting Christmas cards in the mail and display them for all to see.  There are so many places you can order or DIY your own holiday cards but for the past five or so years Tiny Prints has been my go to.  Their prints are so beautiful, their customer service is wonderful and they ALWAYS have coupon codes floating around.  There are literally hundreds of designs to choose from but I am just going to picture a few of my favorites.  Glam or rustic they have you covered!

It’s finally here! One of my favorite shows meets my favorite store. Chip & Jojo released their Hearth and Hand line for Target today! If you’re as nerdy as me then you may have had this day marked in a planner somewhere lol.  I’ve been stalking the previews and although I obviously want every single item I’ve compiled my quick picks, a few of which I snagged myself for the season.  It’s bascially rustic Christmas heaven. Visit your local Target or Target.com. Happy shopping! Oh … Read more
