Mirror, Mirror

Sarah has posted on our monthly Keno games before and this was the hot item that was stolen out of many hands at our last game. I mean what girl doesn’t need a mirror in her purse that also is so funny it cracks her shit up everyday?  I mean we could all use a little humor in our lives. AMIRITE?

Happy Father’s Day

To all the men in my life: If I could I would get each of you these things I have envisioned in my head…this is what they would be:

For my hubby: (1) A new knife because you love cooking me dinner every night and because this was under the “new” section at Sur la Table so I’m positive you don’t have this one yet.  And also, the latest and greatest (2) iPhone because I know you want one even though you haven’t said anything to me about it.

For my Dad: (3) This rotating water broom thing.  It just screams YOU.

For my Bro: I know you are working on your house a ton, so I figure you might need (6) something in this arena.

For my Father-in-Law: A (5) Golf Cabbie Hat, because I think they look cool and because you play golf.  I think that means you’d look cool playing golf with this on…so WIN WIN!

What I ended up getting everyone: Pictures of your son/grandson/nephew from (4) Portrait Innovations.  You know you love them!

Lil’ Green Diamond

Ok, ladies, you know the drill, I love Asian Art, Jewels and Gems.

Jade stands out as the more versatile gem–I think it looks great on everyone, every complexion, every event.

Baby Mammas!

Nothing is more important in this world than all these baby mammas.  Either you have one, know one, or are one yourself.  Its that time again and I’ve rounded up a few things that I think would be too cool to honor them for all they are:  BADASS.

  1. Personalized Mom M&Ms – my boyfriend Ben did this for his dad’s 60th birthday and ever since then, I just think it is the neatest thing–especially for a mom.  Chocolate + personalized for mom’s day= eaten.
  2. Locket on Etsy – when in time did I decide that lockets weren’t cool anymore???  As far as I’m concerned, as locket with your baby’s pic inside is one of the most touching things.  And your mom is sure to look retro wearing it.
  3. House Slippers  on Etsy– any time Mommy says got get her slippers, she means it.  These really command attention.
  4. Jewelry Box – every girl, every mom needs one or ANOTHER one of  these.  But it has to be beautifulness !
  5. Zale’s Stackable Birthstone Bands – how cute would it be to get mom a band for one or all of her kids?   I loooove this.   Mostly for myself.  One for mom, one for me 🙂  Also, women love jewels.
  6. Mamma’s Marg Glass – a happy Mom = happy house.  ‘nough said.
  7. Mothers day wine glasses on Etsy – these are hand painted and just plane creative.  A little piece of change to spend, but I think every mom I know out there is worth it.

Welcome to the FAM-O-LEE!

Have you guys been watching that show Who Do You Think You Are? It’s fascinating to me…and lately I’ve been seeing a bunch of modern family trees on Etsy.  I’m really thinking about getting one done and hanging it somewhere in the house.  These are SUCH good ideas for oh I don’t know Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, baby gift, graduation gift, your sign-in book for your wedding, just to name a few.

Keep Calm, Keep Calm, Keep Calm

So everybody and their dog or cat for that matter has most likely seen the Keep Calm and Carry On posters, right?  If you haven’t, what bridge have you been living under?  Anywho, I like the motto because I’m the type of person that has been known to inch towards the stressed out, anxiety filled side.  What.  Here’s a few items that have the motto that you can incorporate into your more day to day life.  My personal fav is #3, the band-aids.

  1. Wisteria, Keep Calm Tote
  2. Paper Source, Keep Calm and Carry On Water Bottle
