The Last Sword

What are you all putting in your littles Easter baskets? I always overthink this and lose my sanity slightly. For example, today I came out of the dollar tree with foam swords for the boys. They love swords and can't hurt anybody with those foam things, plus they were a dollar - win for momma! I was so stinkin' excited and when I got home B (our youngest) spotted it immediately and is now playing with it. Fighting pirates and things of that sort. Little bit of my sanity gone. I thought "Oh, I'll just hide it when he quits playing with it." Not gonna happen, but thats okay because I have home made chicken pot pie cooking and will eat plenty of carbs and feel okay about the entire situation. Plus, the kid is having a blast!

I usually stick strictly to "Easter" related items but I just couldn't leave the swords behind. Maybe now my kids will quit using their straws as swords...that can be messy.

So, what have you all found and decided to throw in there? I'll be honest I don't order anything offline for Easter or Valentines baskets. I go to the stores and just shop around. Some of my favorite things for Easter baskets include:

Resurrection Eggs - These can be found at Lifeway and are great for the kids to play with and learn all about the Easter store. Love!


Kids Daily Devotional - C loves to win and we love Jesus! So this is always a win-win for him.

I think everyone needs a chocolate bunny (if you don't want it I will gladly eat it (: for you.) Also anything from Target is probably pure gold. I mean there stuff is adorable and their dollar section is pure genius. We always throw in bubbles and usually a kite, the kids love them!

Hope you all are having a blast getting those Easter baskets ready!

Friday Fave: thredUP!

Here recently I stumbled upon something quite grand. An online consignment shop.

Who loves shopping online and scoring great deals? Me. Who loves getting rid of their own clothes, from the comfort of their own home, and making some money for doing so? Me. I can do both of those things on thredUP. Awesome, right?

So how does it all work? You just go to their website and request a bag. They will then mail you a giant bag, like seriously its the size of a trash bag, for free. Then you fill that bag up with all the clothes you don't want anymore and send it back to them. Oh, yea, they've already paid for your shipping too. So, it doesn't cost a dime. You can mail in women clothes/accessories/handbags/shoes and children's clothing.

Even better? You can shop on their anytime, whether it be on their website or on their app and they have awesome sales. Just the other day they had a $0.99 event and I scored B 11 shirts for $11 - including shipping. All new, with tags on them. Talk about a steal of a deal. Yesterday, I purchased a vest that I have been swooning over for $2.21.

Needless to say thredUP has quickly become one of my favorite sites and the first place I look for clothing. They have tons of designer pieces and the best sales. Two things I love.

Check it out for yourself and let me know what deals you score. Just click here. Oh, and if you follow that link and make a purchase thredUP will give you $10 off of that purchase just for following the link.

Have a great weekend!

Friday I'm in Love

It's friday and I am back! After a storm that knocked out our internet, being out of town, and the flu bug I am finally back. Whew...its been a crazy week.

Sons of Anarchy started Tuesday and my obsession with Charlie Hunnam has returned. I mean he is gorgeous.

Well, hello there.

Starbucks K-Cups & Pumpkin Spice Creamer. Need I say more? My mornings would not be complete without this duo.

Speaking of duos...I kicked the flu bug with out antibiotics this week. How? Plexus ProBio5 and BioCleanse. Three days and it was bye, bye bug. I felt like a rockstar. The flu usually either puts me down for two weeks or in the hospital because my heart can't handle any type of virus or infection. I am so happy my family and I are on a natural path and aren't harming our bodies with prescription medicines. Did you know antibiotics kill off the bad bacteria in your body when you need it, but it also will kill the good bacteria in your body that your body needs. ProBio5 will help to give you that good bacteria back! Not all probiotics do that. Get yours...here.

Bare Minerals: Neutral Eyes. I am OBSESSED. Want to know a little secret? I have never ever been good at applying eye makeup. I don't know why I can't do it but I just can't. However, since I bought this little beauty I feel like a professional. It is the easiest kit to use and it looks so classy and elegant. I seriously might go buy ten more of them because I never want to run out. Plus, it comes with everything you need [minus mascara] and it's only $30. That's a steal in my book! 

What are you currently in love with? Have a great weekend y'all. (Bet you didn't know I had a southern accent. It's true.)
