Are you thinking about Mother’s Day yet? It’s May 9th, and until I checked out some of Cambria Cove‘s Mother’s Day goodies I had completely forgotten all about it. I’m loving this mother’s charm bracelet with my children’s birth stones. Loving it. Both of my children managed to get the ugliest birth stones in twelve months, but with Cambria Cove even their hideous birth stones look classy. How about a set of luxury soaps in Lemongrass, Rose, and Violet? My…

I’ve been thinking Spring thoughts lately. They’re more like fantasies actually, since I live in Utah and Spring weather here is more unpredictable than a teenage girl.

do brunettes have more fun?
I know no one is dying to see what I’ve been doing with my hair, but just in case, here’s my posh spice haircut from a few weeks ago: And here’s what I did today: The dark is actually my natural color {minus the greys}. I thought it looked great until I came home and Charming said, “But how am I supposed to know you’re my *real* mommy?”. I showed him the scars on my arms, the ones from my…

peek kids.
I met so many cool people at Mom 2.0. I mean, the conference is swarming with awesomeness. But three of my favorite people were the representatives from Peek Kids. I’d never heard of Peek before Mom 2.0, but now that I have I’m totally smitten. Not only are the people behind peek fabulous, the clothes are ridiculously cute. They sent me a box of delightful kids clothes to check out and it’s all over friends, I’m hooked. This Gnarly sweatshirt…

cambria cove toiletry bag.
Part of the speaker swag from Mom 2.0 included the most beautiful toiletry bag I’ve ever seen. It’s from Cambria Cove, of course it’s beautiful. I’m almost afraid to take it anywhere and put actual, you know, toiletries in it for fear of spillage. I *cough, cough* tend to have things explode on me {not my fault!} when I travel. But Lapin Vilardi {the maker of the bag} is one step ahead of me; it’s lined with clear vinyl on…

3 tips to finding the right trench coat.
There are few things better than a great trench coat on a woman. Seriously, it cinches on your waist to make you look pulled together and polished while keeping you warm from the frosty Springtime air. Heaven. Target Merona Military Trench, Old Navy Linen Blend Trench I’m a little shamefaced to admit I own three trench coats. And they aren’t even my Winter coats, they’re just meant for the warmish weather of March and April in Utah. I have one…

posh spice haircut.
I’m too restless to keep my hair the same for very long, which is how I ended up at a local hair school yesterday, with several photos of Posh Spice {aka Victoria Beckham} in hand. This one is my favorite. I’ve had my hair cut like Posh before, and loved every minute of it, but Viktor has talked me out of cutting it for the last few years. He wishes I had curly, ringlet-y, cheerleader hair. Sorry sweetheart, you didn’t…

spring bags, guest post by ally brooks.
Solid-colored, bright-hued, statement bags for Spring, please. This Spring bags are bold and beautiful! Among the hot hues are shades of blue, fuchsia, and yellow. My personal pick: blue! This trend is seen here on Katy Perry. I love how the blue just pops. Note that she isn’t wearing any other blue. Do not attempt to match your blue handbag! (photo credit:PhotoNews International Inc./FilmMagic) Blue like the summer sky and sparkling water. It’s almost like they transport me… maybe… somewhere…
