#holiday

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

My First Bananagrams Spelling Game 4+

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!!!

Baby

New Baby Set (this is perfect for the new mama or baby in your life!) order and print out the photo for their stocking.

Hat & Mitten Set - this is such a cute set for a sweet babe in your life, love giving a gift that kids NEED.

Just got this for Ami, a cute take along play mat- perfect for traveling or keeping baby girl busy (which is hard these days!!)

Music Magic Cube - another gift I got for Ami! Girl loves music!

Her

Sonos - This is in HIM section but I would say this is a great gift for her as well.

Countermatch Set - amazing deal for such an incredible set. This is awesome for the beauty lover in your family. Again purchase, print a photo and wrap! Totally hinting to the hubby on wanting this...

Lounge Jogger Pants - For your bestie or sister. A cute way to relax.

Adidas Logo TShirt - Got myself one of these, just an easy way to look on trend and still mom life 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!

Him

Sonos Speaker - we have one in every room. Not just for Him but great for any music lover. We can manage music in each girls room, play something different in the playroom and have it set up as surround sound in our living room.

Chanel Cologne (because they won't buy it for themselves!)

Leather Phonecase

This Patagonia vest is the perfect gift for the guy in your life.

Peacoat is such a good deal!

This drill holster for your handy hubby.

PJ Set

Kids

Microscope - so cute for your curious kiddos and sure to keep them busy all year long, I love coming up with weekly themes for learning and this would be fun to incorporate!

This trampoline for the toddler than needs to get their energy out!! HA! We have had this a year now and it's one of the toys she plays on every day,

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!

Fat Brain Toys - Reptanlges - Great quiet toy, or for traveling or for any kid that likes to build! Perfect for ages 6 to tween!

Pretend Tattoo Set For the Tween girl! Perfect

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...

Now scussseeeee me while I got run around like a chicken with my head cut off.

Merry everythingggggg to you all.

(and don't forget for all of you local folks that Imajine That is running a deal on gift cards, get $5 for every $25 you spend! Such a good deal since you can get three visits with 30 bucks!

Happy Monday lovelies!

I hope that your holiday was everything you wanted it to be and more. Ours was filled with family, lots of to-do's and equal parts over-eating and resting. Goodness this season of life sure is busy but watching our families love on our baby girls is a dream. Holidays can be a bit sad without my twin brother around but making plans to meet up somewhere tropical this spring has me sooo excited. (hi nate!!)

As the holidays have officially sneaked into the scene I am starting to implement some ways of not stressing, being present and maybe even a little more handmade in our gifts. Totally inspired by my friend Sara at Well Beyond The Kitchen.

I mean we all know how much I love a craft or recipe but sometimes I find myself in the man "I have to" rather than the "I get to". So this year I am going start out strong and tell of you I get to do a lot to create a special holiday season for our girls, from keeping our house guest ready, to shopping, wrapping, cooking, baking, gifting and planning santa visits, and so much more. And although I feel fortunate enough to do this all without having another full-time job (other than staying at home with the girls) it still can be stressful.

This is where I make sure that my oils are stocked up for diffusing. And this last year I have really gotten into making my own rollers! I thought that as we all dive head on into the holidays I should share one of my favorites for keeping calm. (email me if you'd like to learn more about oils or order some!)
