Freshly Picked + Giveaway

November 13, 2015

Do you remember your first pair of shoes? I still have mine. They are little ballet flats with lavender flowers on the toes. When it came to choosing my daughter’s first pair, I knew hands down where to buy them. Freshly Picked has been a favorite brand of mine for a long time. I bought my daughter’s crib moccasins from there as her first pair of shoes and she wore them all the time. My heart broke when she outgrew them, but I was super excited to pick out a new pair for her.

Freshly Picked

These moccs are so adorable and so soft. They are perfect for a little baby or toddler’s growing feet. I picked “Merci” for SR’s new shoes because they are gold and sparkly and perfect for the holiday season. She loves them and wears them almost every day. She is definitely her mother’s child. SR is growing and changing so much. She is scooting and rolling all over the place and has been getting up on her knees and rocking back and forth for about two weeks now. I feel like she is going to crawl any day. I honestly don’t know that I am ready to be chasing 2 mobile kids around, but I am excited at the same time.

ootd

SR not only got a new pair of shoes last week, she also got her first tooth…and her second. The first one popped through on Thursday and by Sunday I could feel the second one. I can’t get over how fast her first year is flying by. I would love for it to slow down a hot minute. While we are experiencing a lot of “firsts” we are trying to soak up every moment with her.

The Baby Shower Gift Every New Mother Will Want: Pacidoodle® + Starbucks Giveaway

October 1, 2015

As a mother, germs are are like cumulonimbus clouds hanging over my children’s heads at all times. Especially during cold and flu season. I try to keep our house as clean as possible, but when we go grocery shopping, to the zoo or a friend’s house, there is only so much I can do about the pesky germs.

Baby-Gift-Ideas

Both of my babies take/took pacifiers. We are currently in the process of breaking Hampton from his, but Sophie-Rae is following in her brother’s footsteps as far as paci dependence goes. It serves as her security blanket. I am extremely thankful for pacifiers, but there is nothing worse than when that paci hits the floor of a supermarket, or even worse – a gas station floor. Paci clips are a must for my kids. I definitely learned the hard way.

A couple of weeks ago at church, I sat down next to Lorri. I had just recently learned from a friend that she is the genius behind Pacidoodle®! If you haven’t heard of Pacidoodles® yet, you need to stop what you are doing and click on over. These personalized pacifiers are the cutest! You can choose from a variety of colors and styles. Hampton had some of them and now Sophie-Rae does, too! They are great quality because the name doesn’t rub off. Look at how Hampton’s has held up over nearly two years of dishwashing cycles and everyday wear and tear!

Paci-Clip-and-Keep

Pacidoodle

pacifier

Lorri created the Paci Clip and Keep and was telling me that she had just finished the process of getting it U.S. patent protected! After she described it to me, I knew I had to try it for Sophie! The Paci Clip and Keep is not only a paci clip, it holds the pacifier or Pacidoodle® in the Keep which is made of antimicrobial technology that doesn’t allow bacteria to grow. It is the only paci clip out there with this kind of technology. Sophie is constantly spitting her paci out everywhere. After using the Paci Clip and Keep for the last week now, I can honestly say it is wonderful and I don’t know what I ever did without it! Not only is it adorable, it keeps her Pacidoodle® and other pacifiers perfectly clean. I admire that the product name comes from Psalm 139. It has a beautiful meaning and I love supporting Christian based businesses.

Baby-Names

Personalized-Pacifier

I got Hampton’s Pacidoodles® at my baby shower and it was one of my favorite gifts. I had not seen a personalized paci like this before and they have held up so well. The Paci Clip and Keep has given me such a peace of mind and it is incredibly easy to clip it to Sophie-Rae whenever we leave the house. She loves it, too! She grabs it and cuddles with her little Keep all the time. It is precious. My favorite part about this is that it not only fit Pacidoodles®, but also our other pacifiers. It is so convenient and I don’t ever have to worry about her Pacidoodles® falling on the floor. These would make an awesome baby gift as well. I remember how excited I was when I received Hampton’s!

Daughter

I’m so excited to be giving away a Pacidoodle® of choice, Paci Clip and Keep and a $25 Starbucks Gift Card today! What new mother wouldn’t want this incredible baby gift and the gift of free Starbucks coffee?  Enter in the Rafflecopter below:

Giveaway is for U.S. Residents only.

5 Things Successful People Do Every Morning

September 21, 2015

This post is sponsored by General Mills and Nature Valley Bistro Cups. All opinions are my own. 


Kate Middleton, Hillary Clinton, Lorelei Gilmore. What do these women have in common? They are all very successful. Each in their own way. I love Kate Middleton and have thoroughly enjoyed stalking watching her journey through duchess life and motherhood. She is someone I look up to. I am not a fan of Hillary Clinton, politically, but again, she is extremely successful in politics. Lorelei Gilmore…who doesn’t want to be her? To raise a child at a young age, make it from a maid to the owner of your own inn, marrying Luke? Because, in my head, they are married now. Successful people intrigue me. I like to study certain habits of certain people and have learned a few things that successful people do every morning.


Successful-People

Make a To-Do List – I am a listoholic. I make so many lists throughout the day. Making a general list of things I need to get done really helps me to stay focused on what needs to be done. If I don’t make a list, I tend to get way off track and don’t ever get as much done.

oatmeal

Eat Breakfast – It’s no secret around here that I love breakfast. Eating a little something in the mornings helps to jump start your metabolism and get your body working. I am so beyond excited about the latest thing that I found at Publix the other day! Y’all. Nature Valley makes oatmeal in bistro cups. Meaning you can literally throw it in your brewing machine and boom. Breakfast is served! It is ridiculous how excited I was when I first saw this. It’s delicious, it’s fast and it’s pure genius. Run, don’t walk to try some for yourself! Oh, and don’t forget to grab this $3 off coupon!

Exercise – I don’t do this every morning, but I try to. Sometimes, life gets in the way and I don’t get a workout in until the night, or not at all. Exercising and stretching really gets me going. I feel like I get so much more accomplished when I get up and move for a bit. Even if it’s a few minutes, a 10 minute yoga sesh can do wonders!

Quiet Time – I enjoy reading my bible and praying in the mornings. It is not something I have been consistent with, but it really helps me focus on what matters and what is important. It prepares my mind and heart for the day. It really makes the biggest difference. Having this quiet time can be a very refreshing way to start the day on a positive note. During this time I also love to sip on a cup of coffee. It is relaxing and helps me really wake up and be alert and present.

Get Dressed – Yes, that is so “duh Logan,” but I have to make a conscious effort to do this everyday. Especially now that I am not working. I can get away with wearing pajamas most days, but I choose not to because there is something about getting dressed that makes me feel more confident and ready to tackle the day. Plus, it’s not as embarrassing when your neighbor knocks on your door at 3p.m. and asks why on earth you are still in your PJs (true story).

Now, back to this genius breakfast in a mug, Nature Valley Bistro Cups are so easy to make! All you do is:


Breakfast

Keurig

1. Pour the oats into a mug.
2. Put the k-cup into your brewing machine and turn it to 6oz.
3. Stir the oatmeal and let it stand for 1 minute.

Breakfast is served!

Book Review: The Royal We by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan

September 15, 2015

Royal

The Royal We by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan
Grand Central Publishing April 2015

Pages: 454

Synopsis from Goodreads: American Rebecca Porter was never one for fairy tales. Her twin sister, Lacey, has always been the romantic who fantasized about glamour and royalty, fame and fortune. Yet it’s Bex who seeks adventure at Oxford and finds herself living down the hall from Prince Nicholas, Great Britain’s future king. And when Bex can’t resist falling for Nick, the person behind the prince, it propels her into a world she did not expect to inhabit, under a spotlight she is not prepared to face.

Dating Nick immerses Bex in ritzy society, dazzling ski trips, and dinners at Kensington Palace with him and his charming, troublesome brother, Freddie. But the relationship also comes with unimaginable baggage: hysterical tabloids, Nick’s sparkling and far more suitable ex-girlfriends, and a royal family whose private life is much thornier and more tragic than anyone on the outside knows. The pressures are almost too much to bear, as Bex struggles to reconcile the man she loves with the monarch he’s fated to become.

Which is how she gets into trouble.

Now, on the eve of the wedding of the century, Bex is faced with whether everything she’s sacrificed for love-her career, her home, her family, maybe even herself-will have been for nothing. 



My Thoughts: I don’t even know where to start with this one. I was captivated from the beginning. I wanted to know everything from the first page. I love reading about the royals (the real ones) so much. Their life is fascinating to me. This book opened my eyes to their side of things. The paparazzi is the devil in the book. I got a glimpse at what it must be like to be famous and all I can say is no thanks. I feel that it is my motherly duty to wan parents that because of drug use and sexual sections of this book, it may not be the best for your teens, but it is of course up to you. Just one mom’s opinion.

This book was so so good. It made me laugh hysterically – like, husband giving me a super awkward stare in bed while he is trying to sleep and his wife is still up reading that book and won’t stop cry laughing, hysterical. It also made me cry. I loved this book so much that I am crossing my fingers and hoping for a sequel! Please, Heather and Jessica, give us a sequel! I don’t know what else to say other than, read it! I gave this book 5 stars…obviously.

Today I am giving away a copy of Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell! Enter in the Rafflecopter below!

3 Cheers for Breakfast + Giveaway

August 17, 2015

This post is sponsored by Cheerios but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.

Breakfast



I used to never eat breakfast. Give me a cup of coffee and I was good to go. Lately, however, I have been eating breakfast and lighter dinners since I have been trying to lose my baby weight. I have grown so used to eating breakfast that when I don’t, I am starving and grumpy by the time lunch rolls around. When we went on our cruise, we ate really big breakfasts. It was amazing and I was in heaven.

Cheerios

Aside from the delicious French toast, scrambled eggs and bacon that was given to us on the cruise in unlimited quantities, my go-to breakfast is usually cereal. I have even passed this habit down to my son who loves his Cheerios. When I say love, I mean it! “Cheerios” was one of Hamp’s first words. As soon as he could talk, he found a way to ask for his Cheerios. He prefers them to waffles and almost any other breakfast foods (other than fruit and yogurt).

baby

Cheerios are the perfect snack for kids. They taste great, come in so many delicious flavors now and have wonderful health benefits. Guess what!?! Publix is even offering a BOGO coupon for Cheerios!! Be sure to snag it while you can!

I recently discovered that people make so many other delicious recipes using Cheerios that go far beyond cereal! I’m talking muffins, ice cream bites that are making my mouth water and so many more! Check out all these delicious recipes here! Talk about mixing up your breakfast!

Giveaway Time!! Win $10 by:

1. Visit Cheerios and leave me a comment telling me which new flavor or recipe you’d like to try!

2. You even get a bonus entry for printing the BOGO coupon! Just leave me a separate comment letting me know you did!

I will pick one winner in 3 weeks! Good luck!

What is your favorite thing to eat for breakfast?

Comfy

August 6, 2015

This post is sponsored by U by Kotex® but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.
Comfy

What does comfy mean to you? To me, “comfy” means leggings and an oversized sweatshirt on a cold winter day. Snuggling by the fireplace with a cup of coffee and devouring a novel. It means cuddling with my babies on the couch and going for long walks around the neighborhood in my worn sneakers. Comfy is my husband and our home that we bought and created together.

kotex

When I am having my time of the month, the only thing I want to be is…you guessed it – Comfy! I can’t always wear sweatpants and lay around, in fact I hardly ever have time to lay around these days, but U by Kotex® Curves Liners keep me feeling comfy no matter what clothes or undies I am wearing. They keep me from being paranoid and make me feel at ease throughout my day. I feel like I can tackle anything and not have to worry about an embarrassing situation. They are now offered in bright bold colors and the designs are so fun!

penguin

This week, I have been laying around with SR and Hampton since he broke his ankle and can’t walk on it. Ryan has been out of town all week and just got back in late last night, so we have been pretty lazy and pitiful. Being comfortable has been key. For me, and especially for my boy!

Be sure to enter the #BringComfyBack Contest, by visiting bringcomfyback.com and upload your creative pic or gif showcasing your best uncomfy face! Each month, one winner will receive a $200 Urban Outfitters gift card, a Go Pro Hero 3 white camera, a $100 Sephora gift card and some U by Kotex products.


At the end of the contest, the most creative selfie will be chosen and the winner will receive a trip to L.A. with a friend, an exclusive U by Kotex photo shoot and $2,000 cash! Good luck! 

Be sure to stop by and get your FREE SAMPLES of U by Kotex® Curves Liners!

My Anchor and Nautica Giveaway

June 18, 2015

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone.  #NauticaforDad #CollectiveBias

Fathers-Day



With Father’s Day only a few days away, it has got me thinking a lot about my dad and what a wonderful person he is. He has always worked extremely hard and provided for our family. He has been there for all of our big moments and he has loved his children unconditionally.

When looking for a husband, I subconsciously found a man with these same qualities. Ryan is a wonderful Christian man. He leads our family and he pushes me to be a better person every day. He is so hard working and has loved me unconditionally. Let me tell you, I am not always easy to love. He has such a servant heart and is always willing to help anyone who is in need. From helping my sister with her homework to doing yard work for widows in our church, he is always happy to help.

father

His kind and loving spirit made me extremely confident in his ability to be a father to our children. Two and a half years ago, if you told me we would have two children right now, I would have laughed at you. During our struggles to conceive Hampton, (other than God) he was my pillar. He kept my spirits up and encouraged me daily. He loved me when I was in a miserable place. He helped me through the most difficult time of my life. He was and is my anchor.

Watching him become a father was the most precious thing. He loves our babies so much. He plays with them and is always more than willing to help out with them. He watches Sophie while I run during lunch. He bathes Hampton when it has been a long day. He loves to spend countless time with them and is so patient when Hampton wants him to read the same book ten times in a row. It is a beautiful thing to witness.

nautica

Needless to say, I definitely wanted to get Ryan something special for Father’s Day this year! Because we are going on a cruise in 7 weeks (not that I’m counting), I decided to put together a Nautical/beach themed gift basket!

I drove up to Hoover to visit the Galleria and ran into Macy’s where I purchased the Nautica Life Gift Set! The scent is wonderful and reminds me of the sea with a romantic twist. The gift set includes two fragrances as well as aftershave balm and shower gel.  I can’t wait for him to wear it! I also included a pair of sunglasses, swim trunks and sunscreen. Instead of using an actual basket, I put everything in a duffle bag because I know he will use that a lot more.

anchor

Giveaway Time!


One Grand Prize Winner will win a $4,000 Cruise Vacation Package, Five Second Place Winners will win a Nautica Men’s Fragrance Gift Package. Winners must be 18+ to enter. Good Luck!

Nautica for Dad

Who is the anchor in your life? What are you planning to get your father or husband for Father’s Day?

Summer in Yellow

June 17, 2015

fashion

 

Yellow Maxi: c/o Oakleigh Rose // Shoes: Guess (old) // Necklace: Lemon Sweet Jewelry

 

ootd

I don’t know about where y’all live, but it has been HOT and humid here is Alabama town! Whew. It’s that time of year where you step one toe outside and start sweating. Showers become nothing more than a pointless habit because you immediately start sweating again right after you hop in your car to go any where. Maybe I’m exaggerating slightly here. About the showers, not the sweating. That part is unfortunately true.

Trying to run in this weather is just miserable. I picked a really bad time to start running again. haha Oh, well!

maxi

One of my favorite things about summer is the fact that it is socially acceptable to wear lots of color. I love color. This yellow dress is probably my favorite maxi. It is so comfortable and easy to dress up or down. Yellow is a great color this time of year It’s just so happy. You can’t not smile when you see bright yellow! This dress is great for those hot summer weddings, a night on the town or even church on Sunday morning. It is so light and diverse.

I loved pairing this maxi with my tassel necklace from Lemon Sweet Jewelry and my Guess wedges. It was a really comfortable outfit but I still felt semi-dressy!

I’m so excited to partner with Oakleigh Rose to bring you this amazing giveaway to win a $50 store credit!

They have so many adorable things. I am loving these cute shorts and this fun casual dress! You will love shopping on their site! Also, check out their VIP list to get the latest updates from their shop and be sure to stop by their Instagram for their newest arrivals!
