Good morning!  Mother’s Day is just a few weeks away (May 14th!) and I wanted to share a couple of ways to treat the special women in our lives!  Over the weekend, our family lost our sweet Grandmother.  She epitomized what it meant to be a wife, mother, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, friend, neighbor, teacher.  It will be so special to see all of the people she touched gather together on Tuesday to celebrate her in all of these roles.  Her love and spirit will radiate through all of us forever.

 Mothers do so much that goes unnoticed.  And I’m not just talking about the physical things they do for their children that keep them fed, clean, etc…we all know that’s a big part of it, but the real job is in those special things that mothers do.  The constant worrying, the kisses when only a mother’s kiss will do, the countless sacrifices, the pep talks.  The list goes on.

When I have good news or bad news, the first person I always want to call is my mom; she always seems to know just what to say.  Since becoming a mom, I realize just how much a mother does–it’s a 24/7/365 job that lasts forever.  And it truly is the best.  So: Mother’s Day: a day to celebrate all of the wonderful men and women in our lives who have taken on this role and given so much of themselves to us!  Listed below are some items that can be wrapped up individually for the big day or added together with a bottle of wine, box of tea/coffee, a gift card to get a mani/pedi, or a photo book like one from Chatbooks!

Monogram Pendant Necklace
Coco Rose Coconut Oil Body Polish
Essie Gel Couture Nail Polish- Satin Slippers
Yummy Mummy Shower Cream
Sugar Lip Treatment- Poppy
Kate Spade Ear Buds and Portable Charger Set
Scallop Faux Leather Tote
Sugarfina XOXO Candy Bento Box
Jardinier Pot Holder
Lemon Recipe Book

Thank you to all the mamas out there!! We can’t wait to spoil you!
Have a great start to the week, friends!

Holy happy Friday!! Yowza it’s been a long week.  I decided it might be time for a little retail therapy.  I mean, was this week seriously long for anyone else??  Maybe it’s because Ohio experienced all four seasons this week?!  Either way, I’m treating myself.  Here’s what I’m loving this week!!

  1. How cute is this list pad?! Neeeeeed!
  2. I’ve been thinking for awhile that I need a keychain that’s on the brighter side.  Finding my keys has become a really annoying struggle lately.  A struggle that feels unnecessary.  This bright keychain is amazing.
  3. Ok.  Has anyone tried Glossier Cloud Paint??  I keep reading that it is best thing since sliced bread.  Anyone local wanna go in on the 2/$30 deal with me??
  4. I know I would never actually light this candle because it’s just so pretty.  So, so pretty.
  5. I will be posting what’s going in my hospital bag this time around here in a few weeks and I’m realllllllly thinking this hair tie needs to be in there.  So Darling.
  6. I couldn’t help myself, I bought Phoebe Fawn for Eleanor’s Easter basket in addition to everything else.  She’s just too cute, plus all Hazel Village dolls are 20% with code SPRINGFLING20 at Baby Cubby!
  7. The prettiest spring polish.
  8. I will be doing a whole spring/summer toddler clothing post next week, but I’m ordering these shoes for E as we speak.  Her sweet toes in these sparkly shoes is more than my heart can handle.  I can’t wait.
  9. My sister got me these shoes for my birthday and I was finally able to bust them out yesterday, you know, before it started it snowing today.  I absolutely love these shoes (I also have them in the brown color) and bonus…all shoes at Target are buy one get one 50% off right now!
  10. E is going through a sticker phase and it keeps her little fingers busy at restaurants, church, etc…I have been saving stickers for her for years because I knew if she was anything like me she would be sticker obsessed, but we are already running low so I am officially stocking up!!

Ok. So, what else do I need?  Give me all the things!

Hope you lovelies have a great weekend!

Good morning!!  And happy almost Halloween!  I pretty much celebrate this holiday all month long by binge eating candy and watching Hocus Pocus on repeat.  This weekend  I am flying solo as Matt has jetted off to our dear friends’ wedding in Florida.  I am incredibly sad to be missing it, but with this baby on the horizon in less than 7 weeks, flying just wasn’t an option for me.  SO to cheer myself up, I have planned a mega girly, treat yo’ self, relaxing weekend.  Here’s what’s on the agenda starting at 3:30 today.

  1. Cozying up with pillows and lots o’ blankets is a top priority.  It is absolutely freezing in our house and Matt is a real stickler about that thermostat.  I’m sure he has an app that would alert him if I even walked passed it.
  2. Baking!  Tonight I am thinking pumpkin bread and tomorrow morning these pumpkin spice waffles.
  3. When Matt is not around I actually get to brew my decaf coffee and indulge in perhaps more than my one daily cup.  If I could, I would drink coffee all day long.  Mostly because I have a thing for coffee mugs.
  4. You guys.  How stunning is this chair?  I definitely have some lounging on the agenda this weekend and I certainly wouldn’t mind doing it in this beaut.
  5. I was wearing Essie Smokin’ Hot well before it was seasonally appropriate.  What can I say?  I’m obsessed.
  6. Cute matches and candles.
  7. I was down another three pounds at this week’s appointment.  Soooooooo I’m thinking I can indulge more than normal this weekend?  I want these pretzels!
  8. Cozy slippers are the first thing happening when I get home.  I cannot wait.

I also have high hopes of getting out to do a little shopping this weekend, but I am having a whole lotta trouble with my hips.  I am almost done Christmas shopping and I am determined to finish in the next week or so!  May have to resort to staying cuddled up and having it shipped.  But there’s just something about hitting’ the shops for the holidays!

So what about you all?  What do you have up your sleeves for the big holiday weekend?  Hope you have a marvelous weekend!
