Hey Mamas -- Cassie here! Today I'm SUPER excited to share with you a list of some of my favorite beauty splurges. Like seriously beyond excited.
We can pretty much all admit that as moms, we don't need a stocking full of trinkets or tons of Christmas gifts under the tree to make our holiday special. That racetrack that he wants every time you're in the store or that Barbie doll she keeps seeing on TV under the tree is gift enough, #amiright? But let's also admit that we actually do love getting spoiled here and there?!
I'm not sure about you, but I love LOVE me some good beauty products. From luscious bath products to some of my favorite makeup...
The hubs and I were married nearly 11 years ago in 2006, and we had an engagement period of about 7 months. We're in the South y'all, and you know we love our PARTIES. My side of the family in particular will find any reason to throw a festivity. My sister's in town? PARTY. That family friend of ours we haven't seen in over 10 years, but bless her heart she recently acquired a kitten that was a rescue?! PARTY (okay maybe that last one is stretching it). This baffles my husband ... why all the pomp and circumstance? Like any good man, he's learned to just roll with it.
But back to our engagement period -- the blessed event...
Thanksgiving is over, and Christmas is here! Our tree is up, our boys (5 and 3) already got an early Christmas present (a new outdoor play set) and they're watching Christmas movies. The season is all around.
And now, at least for families like mine, comes the seasonal question that I must decide upon: should we play Santa or not?
Ours is a blended family, and when I first met my husband and his sons from a previous marriage, they believed in Santa Claus. And me, being simply the girlfriend at the time, played right along. Even after we got married, I continued to play Santa. After all, at least in my experience, stepparents don't exactly get a say on ending...

Holiday travel season is upon us. Some of you will hunker down, and family and friends will come to YOU. Some of you drive 30 minutes to see family … some drive full days. And some of you will fly. WITH KIDS.
If you have never flown with a toddler, let me be the first to encourage you: it’s not that bad!! I do it a lot. I live in Baton Rouge and work based in DC requiring travel about once every 4-5 weeks; most of the time my parents watch my son when I travel, but my toddler travels with me every third or fourth trip. In fact, I just booked his 26th and 27th flights!!
What does prepping for a...
