Monday Must Have - - 11/04/2019

A few new things that I’m obsessed with that I’ve grabbed from Amazon recently!

(1) definitely not glamorous, but functional... my very best kind of find. My canister that I keep my sugar in cracked recently. With holiday baking season quickly approaching I decided it was absolutely necessary to replace it. This one is technically a flour keeper. It has a scraper/leveler feature. It’s the right size for a bag + some of sugar, light weight and latches well.

(2) My leopard pumpkin shirt! I posted this on my IG feed the week of Halloween, I had so many compliments on it. I plan on wearing it throughout the rest of fall until Thanksgiving. It was comfy and soft. I did size up one and I am glad I did.

(3) An absolutely non-negotiatable item at my house is a Wet Brush. I have three girls and hair is a struggle daily. This is my favorite kind of brush for tangled hair! The one I had broke recently while traveling... so I was counting down the hours until these bad boys arrived. I ordered the two pack... because kids.

Valentines Snack Mix

This snack mix is so easy & versatile for any holiday or activity. This is a super kid pleaser. The variety I made is nut free, there is a peanut allergy in my daughters class. I started with popcorn & pretzels as my base. I popped my popcorn on the stovetop, you could just as easily use pre-bagged popcorn (Smartpop) or microwave popcorn. I used 8 cups of popcorn and 3 cups of pretzels. Mix in a large bowl. Next, melt your vanilla coating chocolate. Follow the melting instructions on the package. I dyed mine pink for the occasion. Once the coating candy is melted and the right color, pour it over your mix. Stir constantly until is all incorporated. Spread out on parchment or wax paper. I used valentines sprinkles next... this is optional... but too cute to pass up! Next, I did the chocolate covered pretzels. I used the remainder of the bag of pretzels. Same process as before, but using chocolate. Sometimes this is referred t...

Motherhood

Motherhood has the unique ability to expose our deepest weaknesses as well as highlight personal substance you never knew was there. In the trenches of the days of no sleep, spit up covered shirts and endless dirty diapers you discover the deepest part of who you are. One thing I have learned in the last almost 10 years of motherhood, is that knowing who I am is vital to my success. As Americans, I see great fear in understanding one’s own weaknesses. I know the opposite to be true. I see strength in your own full self discovery. We see women that look a certain way and are wearing certain things and we think that we have to imitate that to establish our identity. I see women everyday who are stretched to the brink, trying to do it all. As mothers, it’s important to relay to our children that weaknesses are a part of who we are, we are not defined by those rather we are defined by our strengths. When we truly know who we are, we can feel more comfortable making choices t...

What to wear Wednesday

Does anyone else have a kiddo that is super picky about clothes??? I have 2...so far. My oldest is picky about fit and feel, which makes it hard to shop for her. Up until recently she would say that her biggest enemy in life were ‘jeans & mustard’.... first world problems! But that being said, when you take jeans out of the equation it really limits your outfit options. I mean jeans match everything. I have found the solution! Target makes a super soft jegging in 3 different washes. She wears, loves and doesn’t complain. Light Wash Adjustable waist. Must have in my opinion for growing kids! They are on sale right now, buy 1 get 1 50%!!! That’s a great deal. You can find them here .
