Mother's Day Gift Guide


Mother's Day is right around the corner so I thought I'd put together a little gift guide to spark some ideas! These are all little treasures that I love or admire...

The candle, wine, gummies and book are all things I have and LOVE! First, how can you go wrong with rose' gummies? The Nightingale scent of this candle is really beautiful. And a mama blogger that I follow and admire, Ashlee Gadd {seriously follow Coffee + Crumbs for inspiration!} just authored her very first book...how amazing is that?! Can't wait to dive in!

As for the wine...most people are familiar with meal delivery services, but have you heard of Winc? It's a monthly wine subscription service and home to the infamous Summer Water Rose...yum! Don't you just love the name?! And I know you can never go wrong with wine for Mother's Day! You can get $20 off your first box by clicking HERE!

Do you have fun ideas on your wish list?

Outfit Planning for Disneyland



We're planning to go to Disneyland soon for the boys very FIRST trip! I'm both excited and terrified at the prospect! ;) 

First, we're driving down, which is about an 8+ hour drive! I grew up 20 minutes from Disney, so making a trip was never a big deal. Luckily, we still have family and friends that live nearby, so that's one less thing to worry about! We're planning on just going for one day...when the boys get older, we can see about making a two-day trip and including California Adventureland. 

Second, it's supposed to be almost 90 degrees, which sounds like a nice reprieve from our cold Tahoe weather, but yikes! 90 is hot! So we'll be packing lots of sunscreen, maybe this brand. Also bringing lots of water {we have the the Klean Kanteens for the boys!} and the BOB stroller so Wyatt has some shade {and can hopefully nap!}. 

Third, I just hope the boys enjoy it...I am sure it will be overwhelming but hoping the park will be more on the quiet side {if that's even a thing anymore} and that we get to hit up all the fun rides. Do you think they're too young for Pirates of the Caribbean?! ;)

I am not sure what I'll wear, but I just ordered these shorts and have the sneakers above, so we'll see what ends up working out. I also adore this shirt, so cute for a vacation!

So have you been to Disneyland yet with the kids? Any tips? I'd love to hear!

Jonesing for J.Crew


There are SO many cute things at J.Crew right now...like they are really speaking my language! Plus, I've never met a floral and striped combo I didn't like. Let's see what I mean...


I adore this combo--these shorts are so flattering and that blouse will work from spring, summer and into fall with the right accessories!


Gah, I could just die over that skirt {where OH where is it?!} and the striped/floral combo on top.


I mean, are you getting the theme? I think I like these shorts even better!


I'm always down for a cheeky shirt and tailored pants.


And this swimsuit could not be any more adorable!
