Do you stress about dressing your family for the holidays? Don’t fret. Here are some of my faves and some of them are SERIOUSLY marked down!
A big thank you to my friend, Cydney Hatch of Afton Photography who took pictures of the Salmon clan last week… Just in time for Christmas Cards (spoiler alert if you are getting a card from me.) Cydney is amazing, and so good with kids. I love working with her!
I few weeks ago I received the loveliest email from author Jen Blecher asking if she could send me a copy of the first book in her Star Sisters series. She knew I had two little girls and thought they would love it. Well, love it they did and now they are hooked! We now own all four of the books in the series and are plowing through them. I am always looking for new, interesting, age-appropriate books for my girls and we struck gold with Star Sisters- thanks so much, Jen!
In other news, Jen was recently featured on SMP Living— not only does she have a knack for writing children’s books, she is also has some skills in the design department! Take a look.
I have definitely been slack about getting my body into swimsuit shape. I’ve never been how would you say…. a gym rat, but life’s been a bit stressful lately and let’s face it– it’s a lot easier to go out to eat after a day of work, school and activities than it is to figure out what to cook at 6:30 at night. So, I am about 30 lbs. heavier than my realistic ideal weight. Yes, I said it — 30 POUNDS. Ugh.
I have surrendered to the one pieces and the skirted suits… Ruching has become my #1 swimsuit requirement to create the illusion of a toned stomach– I used to have abs that I was proud of… Now all I have is a muffin top. I am giving myself a one summer get out of jail free card of having this weight on. But the reality is– there are a lot of sexy one pieces and skirted suits out there. Let’s take a look, shall we?
Father’s Day alert! This little company turns your Instagram photos into Magnets… Makes for a great gift!
