OK, baby is here, I’m still at the hospital, but I can assure you that I’m DREAMING of, (longing, salivating, DYING) to get my pre-3-year-pregnant body back!!! I’m no fool, I know it will take some time (even if hubby is hoping it will be back by Monday…), but get it back I will!
But I have a secret, (though not so secret when you publish it in a blog read by thousands…)
I am IN LOVE WITH YUMMIE TUMMIE shapewear!
I found this amazing line through 
Okay looks like we have a few giveaway winners that need prizes!!! It looks like I have not heard back from some winners, so I’m re-posting to people. Please send me your email at shanna@myfavoriteeverything.com, so that I can forward to the appropriate vendors to get you your fun Favorite prizes! I think I need to find a new way to post winners….I’ll think of something! Until then, here you go!!!
Kelly K – Congrats!
Kathleen C. – Yum!
Deirdre – WhooHoo!
If I have not heard from you by Sunday, March 14th…
This Favorite comes after an email reminder from a reader in Oakland, California about how wonderful this company’s poufs are! And she is soooo right!! Pixie Dust Decor is a DARLING company that offers poufs, bibs, blankets, burp cloths, tuffets…loads of wonderful cozy things!
I love all of the fabric choices Pixie Dust Decor offers, each item gives you the option to see swatches and collection photos. Not only are they all so cute, but SUPER soft too! We were given some bibs and burp…
By now you all know that I wayyyyyyy {heart} Zee Studio!
If our sweet nanny is my Right Hand, then Susie of Zee Studio is my Left Hand! Everything else in life I accomplish with my feet I think!
Back in Decemeber Zee Studio offered a giveaway for a mini blog design and Sara of Sarah + Abraham was the winner! I have been on pins and needles waiting to see what these…
Do roses need words?!?
I think they speak for themselves.
I love you.
Thank you.
Whatever the purpose, they speak it in spades.
Seemed fitting to share this photo with you since I needed to announce the California Blooms winner.
These were sent to me by a friend as a thank you.
They MADE my day, my whole week so far!
A BIG THANK YOU to my sweet friend M. who sent me the beautiful roses!
And…
I have a darling friend from college that I adore and love.
We lived in the same dorm, and she was as spunky as can be! Always smiling, friends with the world, a total spitfire!
I’ll never forget visiting with her in her dorm room the first time and seeing her hooked up to what looked like a small refrigerator, and breathing into a mask…
My friend has Cystic Fibrosis.
When she came to visit with me in California, she brought along a…
I’m all about finding ways to make my life easier.
Not that I’m lazy, though I’m a little bit of that too…but truly on any given day, I’m going in at least 20 different directions at once. What mom isn’t!?!?
And to manage all those directions is one item that I can’t live without, my iPhone. My calendar, my contacts, my 6 different email accounts, Facebook, Twitter, Starbucks, Camera are all on that phone…..ohhhhh to tell you all the apps that I use on a regular basis (stay tuned for a future post). It is not always…
Happy Monday Everyone!
First off, a quick apology. It seems Feedburner has been playing some selective tricks with the MFE Readers & Followers and randomly deciding who it wants to send daily subscriptions to and who it doesn’t, and it changes throughout the week. So, we switched our subscription service this past weekend. You will now be receiving your daily emails through Mail Chimp. I’m doubly crossing my fingers that this solves the problem for everyone, but please let me know if anyone is stil having issues.
Thank you!!
Now onto the fun for today!
It’s another darling Etsy shoppe! …
A housekeeper 7 days a week, a chef and perfect swimsuit body a week after giving birth!!!!
OK, just kidding….
JEWELRY!!
I am not a fashion expert. I’m pretty good at getting you through a few years of pregnancy without having to buy that much, but regular fashion is not one of my SUPER strengths. However, accessories have been my friend for the past 3 years. As I lived in black, tan, white and denim – I wore LOTS of necklaces and bracelets for a few reasons:…
So I remembered to do the drawing this AM (I think Addie was as excited to see the drawing bucket as she was her presents!) But please forgive the point & shoot camera! As a reminder I left my big camera at Grams and Gramps house last night and this camera isn’t nearly as fast with Miss Addison…
But here goes…
What’s this mom? Did Santa bring this too??
Uh-oh! It spilled! Is ok, I get it Mom…
OOOOOH….
Maybe I…
So we got up early and headed to my Genuis Sister-in-Laws’ house to surprise them with their Christmas gifts…..then we headed to my hubby’s parents this afternoon for Christmas Eve…when we got home, we put the kids to bed and I hurried to the garage to finish wrapping…..until the record screeched and I remembered OMG the girls were supposed to draw names today!!!!!
AGGGGHHH!!!!
The girls are long asleep (it was 9:45 when I realized this) but I quickly printed off the list and thought I…
I’ve lived in some TINY places. At times I thought I COULD move to New York as I’ve found ways to make EVERYTHING fit and still have access to it. Funny thing is, some of the tricks I’ve learned over the years have become second nature and normal to me so they don’t seem that unusual. But when I was visiting with a friend the other day, she told me I needed to share me “jar storage” with you all…and honestly, I’ve been using them for so long, I wasn’t even sure I knew what she was…
In case you’re looking for something to do, we took a free field trip down to Balboa Island
to let the Littles get swept away in the magic of Christmas Lights…
definitely a FAVORITE activity!
Annnnnd the count down is here….Christmas is less than a week away….
With the busy week I know we will be having, I’m sure yours will be somewhat the same, so I’ve planned a few relatively low maintenance, but fun, meals…
This was a butterflys-flying-in-my-stomach-draw-for-a-giveaway!
Not necessarily for Addie, but DEFINITELY for me!
I couldn’t wait to see who the winner was, and REALLY can’t wait to see the pictures Sandy takes!
So you better share!
Here it goes…
Hey Addie – I know you’re totally infatuated with “Little Bear” but can you help Mommy??
Sure mom, but just for a sec!
It’s so fun to pick names!!
I love finding things that make me feel good. I know this sounds lame, and trust me, I LOVE being a mom and I LOVE our darling Littles – but there are still more than a handful of times that I long to fit in my cute jeans from pre-pregnancy, or pop on that cute pair of heels that I know used to turn a few heads…but I just don’t seem to get the same reaction these days. Not sure why. Do you think having a Little gripping each leg, a…
So you waited for it, and here it is, the COOOOOLEST giveaway!
When I decided that I wanted to do this blog after so much friend encouragement,
I knew that I could not do it halfway.
And that it was an all or nothing kind of thing.
But here enters the first of many problems:
I have very high standards…
I barley understand Facebook, let alone Wordpress, HTML code or Twitter…
I tried to make up my own site…
As I tweeted Saturday morning, with the pouring down rain, we took off for Pretend City to blow off some steam before naps. LOTS of rainy day fun! By now most of you in Orange County have heard of Pretend City, if you have not, climb on out of your cave and check it out! We have an annual family membership for 4. I think at the time, I figured that we would need to go 1/month to make the membership a good value for us. We’ve already been 12…
Oh goodness, it’s been a crazy Thursday afternoon!
But I have got to tell you, the White Chicken Enchilada Recipe that is on next week’s menu is
HEAVEN!
Thank you Pioneer Woman – you are and always will be my hero!
(Second only to my amazing mother who is your talent twin!)
The recipe is a few more steps than I normally do
(not really, just kinda felt like it),
but I’ve…
I am so fortunate to know a photographer like Sandy Heit! Not only has she been amazing at capturing wonderful images of our children and family, but she is also a wealth of knowledge in helping me learn how to use this new beast of a camera that I’m swinging around these days! (To see more on Sandy, check out this earlier post).
Soap Box Moment for just a sec…
One of my most favorite characteristics in a professional is not being afraid to share their tips with…
There is no better description for Juliska’s tableware, than their own description.
It truly could be “the most beautiful tableware in the world“.
And I’m not the only one to think so – House Beautiful, Elle Decor, Metropolitan Home, Martha Stewart Living, countless celebrities, high end department stores and my very own book club all feel the same way!
What I love most about Juliska’s products is that they are FAMILY FRIENDLY.
(And it doesn’t hurt that they are BEAUTIFUL and FUNCTIONAL too.)
David and Capucine Gooding, the magicians behind Juliska,…
