Stella & Dot ~ Mother's Day


Mother's Day is less than three weeks away and moms everywhere deserve to be pampered on their special day. Stella & Dot allows you to lavish mom with boutique style jewelry and accessories that she is bound to love without exceeding your budget. I was pleasantly surprised to find multiple gifts under $50 and in addition Stella & Dot is offering 25% off their La Coco Collection in honor of Mother's Day. Although I adore the entire Stella & Dot Collection, below are three gift ideas I couldn't help but share with you!
The Signature Mom Charm is engraved with the word "mom" and is available in silver or gold and can hang from a necklace or bangle. Celebrate the bond between child and mother with the various Birthstone Charms, which are sure to render her speechless. Every mom deserves a night out on the town. Give her a reason to go out with friends wearing the elegant Sofia Pearl Necklace. Whether you're treating yourself or looking for the perfect gift for your mom, I hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day!  Happy shopping! :)

Show Us Your Life~ Moms of Boys

Let me start by saying our oldest son was an only child for nine years until his baby brother was born last April.  We thought long and hard about adding another member to our family, but it just seemed like the right time and we started planning.  Almost everyone we told asked if we wanted a girl.  My response was always some variation of...It doesn't matter; We don't really care; Just so s/he's healthy; Either will be fine with us. I got tired of answering that question, because in all honesty, it did not matter to us one bit.  We wanted another baby and for Daniel to have a brother or sister.  That was the only thing that mattered.  For some reason, I had a gut feeling that we were having a girl...until the big ultrasound proved otherwise :)
Following that appointment, we drove to Kohls where we picked out a little brother onesie and baby blue security blanket.  Any thoughts of having a girl escaped and I didn't look back. 
We started thinking about names, planning a nautical nursery theme, and dreaming of what life would be like with another boy in it.  I can't imagine anything other than having boys.  There is so much fun and joy...and so little drama {yet}!!  I look forward to watching them grow and anxiously await what life has in store for each of them.  My boys are my life, and I wouldn't have it any other way :)
   


My sister and I have five boys!

April 8 ~ {my Sunday}
I spent Easter Sunday with my favorite boys.  Three of us were looking & smiling...Joel was too busy looking at his big brother.  This is the best we could do with the tripod and timer :)
I hope you all had a blessed Easter with the ones you love!
