If you follow me on Instagram you’ve probably figured out by now that my The Vintage Honey Shop necklaces and LILLEbaby carrier are my two biggest must-haves for my daily #momlife. H is deep in the pits of teething despair right now, and most days the only thing that makes him happy are being held, being outside, and nursing. These two combine the best of both worlds and give his little hands (and sharp nails) something to occupy themselves with while nursing while also letting me get a break every once in a while by giving him something to chomp on. Use code MOM15 to save 15% off your purchase until April 30th!
Our LILLEbabys are the only carriers the hubs and I will use anymore – nothing even comes close to being as comfortable thanks to the back-saving lumbar support, adjustability, and ease of use. From walking around Ikea for almost 6 hours to walking on the beach for over an hour with 27 pounds of toddler strapped to my chest / back, our Lille is a lifesaver.
Annie’s Nest Design had a dream of adopting a child, so she started making necklaces as a way to fundraise and make that dream come true. Today she has added two new members into her family, and is such a big-hearted soul who has also opened her home to fostering. I love that each necklace is hand made by her especially for you, and that each piece sold goes to her sweet family. I have one of her ‘Yellow Submarine’ bar necklaces and I love how bright and happy it makes me feel every time I wear it (aka: most days). Make sure you follow her Instagram page to keep up to date on when she takes custom nest necklace slots as they sell out FAST!

That mug is awesome! I'm such a mug-lover! It drives my husband nuts! I may have to order that though! This will be my first mother's day and I'm not expecting anything, so I will be pleasantly surprised if a gift is given to me next Sunday! And Amen to wanting something that makes life easier! LOL! I love getting jewelry, but I'd love anything for the kitchen, maybe some potted plants for outside, etc! 🙂
Shannon says
A weekly maid would definitely be helpful 😉
tannawings says
I would choose either the aqua or the navy. Besides having a family I also do cat rescue, so its tough deciding on a color Hmmmm go with cute colors or one that will hide a bit if dirt if I happen to have to help a cat?
