Toys that Preschoolers LOVE: Christmas Gift Guide

Mom Life

My son is four years old, and I feel like Christmas is REALLY starting to get fun. I mean, it’s always been fun, but he really gets it now, you know? I’m so excited about gift giving this year, and watching his little face light up will be the BEST. Heck, I’m excited to use a few of his gifts….

Tropical Themed First Birthday Party

Mom Life

Finley’s tropical first birthday party was a huge success! Our youngest baby’s “theme” animal has always been a flamingo. It only made sense to incorporate that into her first birthday party! Our son’s was dinosaurs. His nursery was dino themed and so was his first birthday. Disclaimer: There are affiliate links peppered throughout this post. I do this mainly to…

Blowing Rock: Endless Family Friendly Fun!

Mom Life

Blowing Rock: Endless family friendly fun! I plan to maybe one day transition from throwing the kids’ birthday parties, to just simple get togethers and family trips/experiences. In an effort to change, this year I decided to do it ALL. We spent the weekend of September 21st/22nd in one of my favorite cities in North Carolina: Blowing Rock. The next…

Beech Nut Naturals Contribute to My Toddler’s Balanced Diet

Mom Life

My youngest just turned a year old, but she can eat my four year old under the table! Finley LOVES food, so naturally I want to steer her in the right direction by feeding her fruits, veggies, and just whole foods in general. I know she will go through pickier stages as she grows but as long as I am…

DIY Elton John Costume

Mom Life

A few months ago I was randomly inspired to create this awesome Elton John costume for my baby girl. I did a collaboration with Schoenhut for this AWESOME piano that I gave my son for his birthday, and thought it would be cool to do an Elton photo shoot to show it off. This piano is really freaking cool. It…

Instagram post 2178046247330590052_2713341474 Friday is Target day! Let's do another coffee giveaway because I love y'all. ⁣
⁣
Tag your friends and tell them one of your favorite things about them. A funny memory, a quirk, or something that makes them amazing. On Monday I'll pick one commenter and the person they tagged and give each of them $5 for Starbucks. Not much, but it's enough for a peppermint mocha!⁣
⁣
Make sure you're following me to win! I hope you guys have an amazing weekend!
Instagram post 2177141650982434885_2713341474 It's okay to FEEL any of these things. It's also okay to feel happy, energetic, proud, hopeful, patient, or whatever you're feeling that day (or hour). ⁣
⁣
Parenting is HARD regardless of your role (mom/dad), your career (full time/part time/stay home), or how well behaved your kids may be. ⁣
⁣
⁣
The other day someone commented on @thebluegrassmom's post about dressing up to go grocery shopping and told her to stop complaining and be glad she is fortunate enough to say home. After doing some sleuth work, I saw that the MAN who posted that comment was sad and struggling with things in his own life. It really got me thinking...⁣
⁣
⁣
No matter who you are or what you do, what you FEEL is valid and it matters. If you need to vent about how exhausted you are...just do it. Don't feel like you can't just because someone out there is probably more tired than you. Don't be that person who scoffs at a college student who says they are tired just because you were up all night with the baby. Let them just be tired and talk about it. Honestly, I was sleepier in college than I am most of the time now! It's okay to complain sometimes, regardless of where you're at in life (just try not to complain constantly...no one likes that). ⁣
⁣
⁣
Remember to check in on your friends and loved ones. Check in on the ones you think need it, and even the strong ones who are happy and smiling all the time. Be available to listen and help out if they are struggling. We all need each other! Mental health is just as important as physical health. Take care of yourselves and get help if you are really struggling!! ⁣
⁣
⁣
Check out all of this week's "Health" posts under the #momsthankfulthursday hashtag and share your own health related post! I'd love to hear why you're grateful for your health!
Instagram post 2176668538146806274_2713341474 What are your favorite comfort foods when it's chilly, rainy or just yucky out?⁣

 Yesterday was perfect for crock pot mac and cheese! 🧀 Of course, halfway into making it I realized I needed a few more ingredients so we ran to the store! ⁣
⁣
⁣
We grabbed a few extra things like hot cocoa and cookie brownie mix too 😅. ⁣

Next, no screen time limits! 😂 It's cool and rainy here today which is perfect for snuggling and watching allllll the Disney classics. What are you watching first?
Instagram post 2175079036391411430_2713341474 I love my butt. There, I said it. ⁣
⁣
⁣
I love workouts that build muscle and tone my booty because out of all my parts, my butt is the first and most noticeable place I see results. ⁣#fableticspartner
⁣
⁣
What's your favorite kind of workout? ⁣
⁣
⁣
I also love my cute new workout clothes from @fabletics. They are so comfy and flattering and this particular outfit comes with this super warm and cute oversized jacket! ⁣

As always you can click the link in my bio to get 2 leggings for $24 on Fabletics.com!

What's your favorite Starbucks holiday flavor? ⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
I would love to treat you and a friend to some coffee! Tag your coffee loving friends and tell them why you think they deserve a coffee. Make sure you're following me! I'll choose a winner on Monday and send you + the person you tag a $5 Starbucks gift card! Each separate comment is an entry! ⁣

November is a perfect time to reflect on everything we are thankful for (although I try to be grateful all year). As I take on some projects around my house, I can't help but be grateful for the opportunity to do these fixer upper jobs. I have a beautiful home and the opportunity to make it my own, and that's incredible!⁣

Real talk, I found a bug (one of those nasty silverfish) in my COFFEE CUP cabinet the other day. I was absolutely disgusted and texted my husband that I was going to take a sledgehammer to these nasty cabinets 🤣. ⁣
⁣
Well I didn't go that far but I did decide that SOMETHING needs to change. They are old, chipped, stained and nasty cabinets so don't come at me about taking them apart 😅. The insides are covered in gooey black contact paper and under that,  the same devil wallpaper that's still up in our guest bathroom. I'm taking all the doors off, cleaning everything out, "Marie Kondo-ing" all the STUFF, and I'm going to paint it all WHITE. ⁣
⁣
My thought is, the paint will help seal all the tiny cracks, will make it easier to see when it's dirty, and won't give the bugs anywhere to hide. I'm not doing anything to the bottom cabinets yet but I think I'm going to eventually paint them a darker color... but leave the doors on 😂. ⁣
⁣
⁣
What was your last home improvement project? How long did it take?? Also, any kitchen reno on a budget tips are welcome! ⁣

Leopold has really enjoyed his new Remote Control Gearbot by @lakeshorelearning. Together we followed the step by step instructions in the included booklet to make a working remote controlled robot! It's helped Leopold understand how gears interlock to make each other move, and he loves making his robot roll around the room after he's done modifying it. His favorite part is the interchangeable heads, but there are unlimited possibilities with this bot! ⁣

Instagram post 2168547875666028539_2713341474 “Hast du ihre Obershenkel gesehen?” ⁣
“Have you seen her thighs??”⁣
⁣
Ugly words spoken about me, right in front of my face, by a rude elderly German woman whose family I worked for many years ago. I’d only been living with them a few weeks but I knew enough German to understand what she said. I ignored the statement as her helper shushed her and ushered her into the car. I probably wasn’t even showing much thigh. It’s always been the part of me I hated the most. ⁣
⁣
Those words shouldn’t have gotten to me but it is burned in my brain, even years later. ⁣
⁣
I grew up ashamed of my legs. I spent every hot South Carolina summer wearing full length jeans or frumpy cargo shorts that made me look like a dude. ⁣
⁣
Now? Well, I can’t say I love my legs now...I don’t. Even at my most fit a few years ago they were still my least favorite part. I’ve always had thick thighs and I probably always will. I hate running and even training for and participating in half marathons didn’t thin my thighs out. It may have helped the cellulite and shaped the muscle but it didn’t make them small. ⁣
⁣
Now I have gotten to the point where MOST of the time, I just don’t care what my thighs look like. Shorts in the summer are HEAVEN. I already have too much to stress over and what people think of my big ole thighs is NOT one of those things. I don’t have time to be miserable and hot in jeans or long pants in 100 degree weather. If you don’t like the way my thighs look, I kindly invite you to look away. #bye⁣
⁣
I DO have a big ole butt that I’m proud of! Maybe without my thighs, I wouldn’t have my butt...which is one of my favorite features. Tell me what you love about your body!! ⁣
⁣
*Also, it’s hard, but don’t let someone else’s nasty words affect how you view your body or how you love yourself. Their opinion is simply part of their journey, it has nothing to do with you!⁣

Instagram post 2167242929897389238_2713341474 Happy Halloween!!! •

With a tornado warning and lots of rain, our night didn't go how I'd hoped. I love trick or treating about as much as my kid, and I didn't get any "insta worthy" photos tonight. I was pretty bummed...not gonna lie! It was our first family costume this year and we looked pretty great! So my mother in law snapped some photos in her kitchen, I drank half a bottle of champagne from my @winc order, and we found a Halloween event at a nearby fire station to go to. I even got recognized as Misty a couple times! We ended the night with some San Jose and the kids passed out right when we got home! •

Despite the disappointment we ended up having a great night! How was the weather where you are tonight? Did it affect your plans? •

I had to take my van to the mechanic today because Finley's window wouldn't roll up and the power door didn't work. Turns out it was only a wiring issue and I didn't have to pay for new part! They fixed the issue (for free) in less than 10 minutes! Talk about a huge relief! ⁣If you're looking for a reliable used car dealership in Columbia let me know! ⁣

Instagram post 2162768588342188062_2713341474 AD // Two things Leopold loves are dinos and cars, so when we bought this #AdventureForceDinoGarage from Walmart he was over the moon excited! We put it together right away and it wasn't too bad as far as racetrack assembly goes (trust me). There is a ton to do with this dino garage! The 5 included diecast cars can go down three different tracks, go up and down the lift, or even get hit with a wrecking ball! There are a million different ways to play with this HUGE track (over 3 feet tall!) It kept Leopold (and Finley) busy all afternoon. I even got to take a shower uninterrupted! Thanks @Adventureforcebrand for creating awesome toys at reasonable prices! Learn more at https://soapbox.buzz/dinogaragetoy. This would make a great "big gift" on Christmas morning!! The look on Leopold's face when it was assembled was priceless!
