Tulip Festival!

IMG_7810

We took our first family road trip a few days ago! Which since Kennedy has been born, has pretty much been my worst nightmare. There are SO, SO many thing that could go wrong. And of course, loss of control and the chaos that I have created in my mind feeds right into my anxiety. The two greatest “fears” if you will, were the car ride and sleeping through the night. The longest car ride Kennedy has experienced is about 45 minutes and recently, she has started fighting us when it comes time to get into her car seat. K is also a TERRIBLE sleeper! So, I knew that there was a huge possibility that she would not be able to fall asleep in a strange hotel.

This post in partnership with Elly and Grace, but thoughts and opinions are my own

Over the last few months I have become friends with an awesome group of women through the Instagram community. One of these women is Brenna, the owner of Elly and Grace. We have bonded over our love of glitter, graphics, and face masks! Brenna designs one of a kind graphics that inspire and uplift others. I reached out to her to see if she would want to collaborate on a design. Thankfully, she said “YES”!

I knew that I wanted my graphic to be about coffee! If you’ve been following along with me at all, you know my obsession with it and my need for survival. So, this graphic pretty much sums up my life. Lol.  It turned out SO well! I love the elegant, yet simple font that was used. One of the things I love most about this T-shirt is how COMFORTABLE it is. As a mom who is constantly on the go, that is exactly what I am looking for. I love that you can wear it with some leggings, or dress it up a little by adding a statement necklace and cute cardi.

I had spotted these totes on Elly and Grace’s insta page, and I just knew that I had to scoop one up for myself! Blush is one of my current obsessions, and that on top of the canvas is jus so beautiful. I have gotten to the point, where I don’t really have a use for Kennedy’s diaper bag. But, because I hadn’t found anything else to replace it with, I was still lugging that , ANNNDDD my jumbo size purse around everywhere with me. Now, I just throw a few necessities into this tote, and I’m good to go. The depth in this tote is AMAZING! I’m able to carry my wallet, iPad, magazines etc; all while still fitting in snacks, diapers and toys for Kennedy. It has seriously been a game changer for me.

Finally, I asked Brenna to create a design with this quote on it. I AM OBSESSED! What girl doesn’t love a little bit of glitter? Kennedy will be rocking this onesie all summa long!

I had such a great time working with Elly and Grace! I love being able to connect and be creative with other Boss Babes!

10 Things I learned From Christmas 2016

Now that Christmas is over, I would like to share a few things I have learned from my first Christmas as a full-time working mom.

image

1. Start Christmas shopping in February. Scratch that, January.

2. You are NOT Martha Stewart. Don’t volunteer to bring anything other than the pre-made potato salad, or a cheese plate from the grocery store.

3. Even thought it pains me to say this, online shopping is your BFF.

4. Buy all things wrapping related from Home Goods/ Marshall’s/ TJ Maxx. They have super cute stuff, for about half the price of other stores.

5. Don’t wait for the stocking stuffers to go on sale, just buy the damn things.
