Non-Candy Easter Basket Fillers



Happy Wednesday!

And the only way I knew it was Wednesday is because of a cousin play date we had that we usually have on Wednesdays or Fridays! Goodness, going to be diffusing some peace & calming tonight because holy moly I feel so anxious!!

This post was totally suppose to go up yesterday but I have been having the worse time concentrating on this little blog of mine ! But I am here, posting!

I honestly can't believe that Easter is around the corner, and since we are getting away next month I need to get to the shopping asap. My rule is 1 part treat, 2 parts practical, 1 part fun.

14 V-DAY Gifts For Mama




Hey hey,

This weekend sure was a great one for my soul, a little time filling my tank and a little time celebrating our girl with our immediate family. You guys!!! It has been a bit since I have felt like myself and I am slowly creeping in that direction.

Now here is for the last minuters out there... 10 gifts I've either received and adored or have on my wishlist. Now forward to that man in your life!!

1. The best espresso ever, you guys I got this for my first V-Day after becoming a mama and it's probably the best gift my hubby has given me, although that is hard to say because he is really great at gifts.

2. A Yeti to keep the cafe hot (or cold)!

3. Sweet comfy pj's for the days spent chasing babies, and dreaming of lounging in bed! The pink stripe ones are my fav!

5. Jewelry is always perfect. Last year O got me this dainty wife necklace, I wear it every day. Love these stackable rings, 3 make for a perfect gift!

6. Sonos. We have one of these in almost every room, perfect for setting the mood, dance parties or even drowning out the sleep training cries...

7. Flawless in Five is the perfect set !! If you have been meaning to change up to safe, non-toxic make up or skincare send him to me, I can help him order all the right colors ! This lip set is a great one too.

8. A Water Bottle that will make her laugh every time she sees it!

9. Instapot that will seriously make her life and dinner time so much EASIER.

10. I am on the lookout for some cute studs and love these rose gold ones! (love this bangle too!)

11. Or maybe something you can enjoy all spring long, I got these for sunnies Christmas and LOVE. Can't wait to pair then with sundresses and espadrilles!

12. Shoes. I love this pair of metallic mules, I have some gold ones I am OBSESSED with.

13. Love the idea of a wallet on a chain, easily fits in any bag you are carrying but can also be worn cross-body for the moments without babies.

14. The gift of clean. Serious splurge alert but honestly is there anything better than having someone ELSE sweep when you have babies?

Last Minute Gifts

Updated: Jun 23, 2019



Are you re-writing that to do list and checking things off the list? I know my last minute mama self sure are. Sick babies, a messy house, too many dishes and holy crap the laundry. Well mama still has a few gifts left to buy (and has not wrapped one thing!!) so of course I thought I procrastinate and put together a guide with some last minute things. Most of these are prime or Nordstrom over night, and don't forget Target and Nordstrom both offer buy online and pick up in store (like most stores) Nordstrom will even run it out to your car if you text them!! Whaaaatttt.

And are friends at Imajine That are offering $5 for every $25 gift card you purchase! Which means 3 kids, or 3 separate visits! Definitely look out for more on this little gem of a place!

20 Last Minute Gifts for Everyone Left on Your List


Family

Ice Cream Maker - this is something we have and love using, especially love when we get the time to make homemade sorbets, the mixes are great but so easy to make no sugar added treats!

Popcorn Popper - we have this exact one and LOVE it! Great yummy popcorn for family nights!

Bike Trailer + Stroller - great family gift, again an investment but something a young active family will use a TON. I want it!!!

The Complete Book of Essential Oils for Baby & Mama - for that beginner oil mama, like me!! (totally want this Santa!!)

I am putting these boots on here because one day they will be mine! hahah but seriously, an investment for sure but for those of you trading in the "push gift" card or treating yourself, the will not go out of style. Love the nutmeg suede color because it is classic and will pair with black and browns! These are a steal and just as cute!

This super plush blanket is EVERYTHING. Perfect for any lady in your life.

Love this set for anyone that you know would love oils! Comes with some of my favorite oils and products plus a diffuser and a membership to purchase oils at the wholesale price!

Little Leaders: Bold Women in Black History, love love love this. It's important for us as a mixed family to have books and dolls with people of all shapes and colors, this book is the perfect addition to our library.

Love this Peace Sign hand for a teen or college student!

Love these water beads for endless entertainment! Great sensory activity, obviously would need to be watching them like a hawk but they are non toxic, so mom win...
