Must Have Mondays

Today, I am picking out 3 items I have ordered from Amazon in the last year that I consider must haves. These are kind of all over the map. But all goodies!

First up, my coffee frother! I first encountered this when we were visiting friends in the DC area. One cup of perfectly frothed at home coffee and I was in love!

As you can see the price point is excellent and worth every penny for delicious frothy #momfuel !!!!

Second item on my must have list are the gripper baby/toddler slipper socks.i orderedthese last year while we were staying at my moms house, for my then 16 month old. These are the only docks she will keep on her feet in bed. I love these and she loves them too.

The last item for this weeks must have Monday is battery operated timer yes lights. These are perfect for me. I don’t really do candles that much any more, because #twoyearolds and I typically have my young living diffuser going non-stop. I love the look of candles and the decorative and homey quality they give. But I’m terrible about blowing them out! I have found it simple to get pillar size battery operated time candles locally. But I have been able to get tea lights. I ordered these before the holidays and they were wonderful for these great ceramic Jack-o-Lateran I have. They are wonderful in mosaic glass jars. I basically love them. Lanterns are such a hot home decor item and these tea lights are perfect inside a galvanized steel lateen.

DIY Salon Worthy Manicure at Home

DIY salon manicure at home So, like many of you mamas I don’t always have time to sneak off to the nail salon to get a manicure. Not only that, but weekly trips to the salon are not always in the budget. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love going to the salon. But the logistics get tough, I have to find someone to watch the youngest of my kiddos. So, a $30 manicure turns into a $50 outing once I pay the babysitter. More often than not, I do my nails at home. Here is how I am able achieve a salon look quickly at home. I tend do my nails at night after the kids are all in bed, while watching TV. Starting with clean dry nails, here is my process. First, I rub hand sanitizer or rubbing alcohol on on my nails. This takes the excess oil off of my nails and allows the polish to adhere better. This is the first step to a longer-lasting manicure. Second, I use a basecoat. I love Orly Bonder. It’s a rubberized product that allows the color to stick to y...

Favorite Everyday Shoes

Favorite Kicks I bought these shoes about a year & a half. I LOVE them. I stalked these shoes at my local DSW, I looked up outfits for these shoes on Pinterest. I did my due diligence. Needless to say, I have already gotten my money worth and they are still kicking! I bought mine at my local Store. You can find them online HERE . These are Dr. Sholl’s brand. They have memory foam and are terrific for walking all day. Not to mention, they are a pretty reasonable price point, especially when you consider how often I wear them! I wear them with jeans, leggings and shorts. I’ve even paired them with the occasional relaxed dress. What I love most about them is that they are as comfortable as my running shoes, but they take it up a knotch with fashion & style.

Elementary School - - Must Haves

Well, it’s that time again. It’s about to be back to school. This year looks different, but regardless of what your school is doing this fall there are things you are going to need this fall. If your house is like mine, school supplies and craft supplies are running low. Between finishing school at home and quarantine... we are making due. Here in GA, we are starting back to school as normally as can be anticipated. Masks included, if possible. My elementary age kiddo is pretty good on clothes, but definitely needs somethings to start the year. These are a few things that I have bought or will be buying in addition to the required school supplies. First, as a third grader... she needed a bigger backpack. Lands End is my very favorite place to order back packs and lunch bags! They are wonderfully made and hold up so well. My kids love the prints. The website allows you to filter the size of the backpack based on height. For me, this makes shopping for a backpack SO much easi...
