We are officially 9 days away from Christmas (how??) and hopefully most of your shopping is done. I know I'm still thinking of little things here and there. Today I wanted to talk about stocking stuffer ideas for toddlers and babies. Let's be real, the last thing mom's want are more tiny toys/pieces/parts anything that will just end up in the trash. I put together a list of things I'm planning to put in my kids stockings if you're at a loss. Everything is in stock and will arrive before Christmas.

This is definitely a post I never thought I'd be writing, but life is weird right now! I had a request to share ideas for gift ideas for a friend who might have a Birthday during the current pandemic. I thought this would be an interesting blog post to think outside the box and come up with some fun gift ideas to brighten someone's day. You could really send some of these whether they're celebrating a birthday or not.

The holidays are always a fun time but having a baby this year makes them even more special. Even though Crosby has no idea what’s going on, I like to think seeing things for the first time (like our Christmas tree and decorations) is stimulating for her. Plus she’s in the phase where she’s pulling herself up on everything… so the bottom of our tree is without ornaments.

I’ve been all about the color pink lately… with a baby girl due soon and Valentine’s Day on the horizon I just can’t help it! Valentine’s Day is such a fun little day. Even if you don’t celebrate it in a romantic way, it’s still nice to buy a little something for yourself or a friend. Years ago I went to a fun anti-Valentine’s Day party at a bar in LA with a group of girlfriends and it was honestly one of my favorite memories of the holiday. That and back in elementary school when we’d get dressed up, pass out Valentine’s and have parties in our classrooms. continue reading

I can’t believe that Christmas is just about two and half weeks away. I still have so much shopping to do! Mostly for my husband who never wants anything. But I digress, this week’s gift guide is one of my favorites – gifts under $50. These would be perfect for your mom, sister, bestie or even yourself. Sometimes I like to throw gifts for me in the mix too. Happy shopping!
