    The PERFECT Girl Gift

    I can’t believe that it’s already time for a countdown to Christmas! I’m not gonna pretend like I’m that lady who has her life together and already has everyone’s Christmas lists shopped for. What I have been able to do is pick up a lot in the past month and I’m so excited about it. One of the ways I did that was by shopping on Beautycounter’s website for gifts. I have a lot of women to shop for (my daughters, nieces and sisters) and they all love makeup so it makes it easier on me to shop. Beautycounter always has the most amazing holiday collection and this year is…

    Playtex Makes Date Night Possible

    This post is sponsored by Playtex Baby. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. Date nights have become something that Derrek and I plan once a week so that we can have some one on one time to reconnect. Now that we are outnumbered by our children, this has become a number one priority to keep our relationship healthy. When Nolan and Harper were both infants, getting away was really hard for me to do because neither of them would take a bottle. I was blown away by how quickly Scarlet Reese took a bottle when we used the Playtex® VentAire™ Bottle. When…

Nolan’s Coat | Harper’s Coat Here in South Carolina, the temps went from upper 80s to upper 50s overnight. NO JOKE! It might be fall (the season) but it feels like winter! I switched out all of our summer clothes with our winter and fall clothes and thanks to Appaman, the kids have warm winter coats for fall and winter. Appaman is inspired by, and named after, the childhood companion of founder and designer Harald Husum. While growing up in Norway, Husum befriended a corduroy ape named Appaman.…

    Sweet Sugar Thanks to Playtex

                Oh man, I cannot believe that my sweet Mercy girl is 14 weeks old now! She is growing by leaps and bounds and everyday she does something new. I am exclusively breastfeeding her but I try really hard to not let her fall asleep while nursing. I don’t want her to become dependent on falling asleep ONLY with me verses if Derrek is home and trying to get her to sleep. For some reason, Nolan and Harper never took a pacifier and I think it’s because I let them fall asleep nursing every single time. Scarlet Reese was the only child other than Mercy…

    How I Work From Home

    My sunnies are from Diff Eyewear and I’ve linked them here – use code: Amandas25 for $25 off your first pair! Wow, this week is truly flying by! I know that for any mom out there, you are feeling the same way. Now that the kids are in school, I am loving the “freedom” I feel during the day. I don’t even count Mercy into this equation because she is the easiest little baby to be with. I work from home as a Beautycounter consultant and I make my own hours. I always make sure to get my work done in the morning but if for some reason it doesn’t…
