Mother's Day Ideas


Mother's Day is less than a month away and I have rounded up some adorable and versatile gifts that I think any Mom would love! All of these may or may not be on my wishlist too :) 

I have a couple pairs of these Tory Burch flats and they are so versatile, they are nice enough to dress up or wear with jeans. One of my pairs I have had for 3 years and worn pretty frequently and they still look great!

I also have several of these Volcano candles and they smell amazing and last a long time. Its a nice clean scent that is great for when company comes over.

The Maya Brenner necklace, Kendra Scott necklace and Star Mela clutch I do not own but would love to have them. The Maya Brenner necklace can be personalized to your children's initials and is a great delicate piece that would go with a lot! And whats not to love about that Star Mela clutch? It is  such a fun spring/summer bag, I really like all of  the bright colors on it. 

Hope everyone is having a great week !

Exciting Announcement!

Some exciting news in our house!

We are thrilled to announce that we are expecting another baby! I am so excited for Everett to have a sibling close in age to grow up with and for Bryce to get to be a big brother again. Our house is already pretty crazy with two boys so why not add one more into the mix?! I think I will be doing updates here maybe every couple weeks and of course will share the gender reveal in a few weeks. We are super curious to find out if Baby #3 will be a boy or girl!

Easter Egg Hunt Party


We had a great weekend in our house , Saturday we hosted an Easter egg hunt/ egg coloring party. It was really fun and the kids definitely enjoyed it! I of course loved putting all of the little details together..

These Izze drinks were perfect for making little "carrots" to drink!









I found this bunny garland at Target last year, they have a similar version this year available here


Looking forward to the Easter Bunny visiting this weekend and enjoying some yummy food!

Easter Basket Ideas for 9 Year Old Boy






I will admit, Bryce's Easter basket is not nearly as festive as Everett's but I like to fill both of the boys baskets with things I know they will truly enjoy and this is it for Bryce. I am adding candy and eggs to this mix of course because what kind of Easter morning is it without a sugar high?! I think both of the boys will be happy with their Easter loot this year!

Easter Basket Ideas for a Toddler







I have been slowly gathering up goodies for the boys Easter Baskets. This is pretty much what the Easter Bunny is bringing Everett. He loves to be outside and bubbles so the touchable bubbles and chalk I am excited to try with him! The Jellycat bunny is so soft, I know he will love cuddling with it at night. My mom growing up always included a new swimsuit in our baskets and I do the same with my boys, its always nice for them to start off the summer with a new suit. And the rash guard is a must for both boys, they both HATE having sunscreen applied all day, if you keep it semi wet they stay cool in it too!

Happenings Lately


I have been slacking on the blog lately, its been a busy few weeks in our house! First up, the leprechaun made it to our house again. I of course could not find all of the little decorations I used last year (they are tucked away in a closet somewhere)  so it was a little bit of a scaled down version this year but the boys loved it!



For Everett I found the cutest book called "Lucky Tucker".. perfect St Patrick's book for a little one! It is colorful and has a cute story line.




I also whipped up these Jello treats. I think they were Bryce's favorite part of the day, actually in his words they were "the best dessert ever". They were super easy! I made lime Jello, then just added Cool-Whip for the clouds and the Air Heads "extreme" for the rainbows. Little tip: make sure the Cool-Whip is nice and cold and not too thawed. If its too warm the "clouds" will melt and not hold the "rainbow" up!




I also made green pancakes for breakfast that day but sadly they did not make it to the camera roll!

This past weekend we mainly hung at home. Saturday we hit up Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream here in Atlanta. It did not disappoint! My favorite flavor was the brambleberry crisp. Its a yummy mix of vanilla ice cream, sweetened oatmeal and blackberry jam... SO GOOD! I also had the dark chocolate flavor and it was good too, it just didn't have the unique punch the brambleberry crisp did. 




We ended the weekend with kabobs and then got ready to start the week!

Randoms




Happy Tuesday Everyone! Today I give you some randoms ...

Apparently your lipstick angle says a lot about your personality.

Probably late to the party on this one but this is my LIFE...

If you are a parent , you can thank me later.

Follow the Honest Toddler on twitter, so hilarious and sadly true.






Target is opening "express" stores that offer a scaled down version of merchandise in their traditional stores.

This is a cool idea, but isn't part of the fun of Target wandering aimlessly around the store for an hour??

I think I will stick to the Target I know and love that I can buy things I don't need at and come out wandering how I just spent $100.
