Mommas, we spend so much of our time in the kid zone that we sometimes forget any other zone exist. It all begins the day they are born. You are constantly being reminded to focus on the baby's needs. To be in tune with every noise, cry, and change in poop color.  Our mothering instinct kicks in and our womanly wilds go out the window!!! Let’s not even talk about the decrease in sex drive or the ability to pee in peace, especially once they hit the toddler age. As a mom of teens and tweens, I would like to say that this kid laser focus changes naturally, but it doesn’t! The late night feedings turn into staying up watching the clock...

You've heard it before; it's so important for moms to take some "me time." That can be hard with small kids who rely on you for a majority of their needs. You may get lucky with a few date nights or girls nights here and there, but why not have "me time" more often? I like to take just a short amount of time on most nights after the kids go to sleep to do something for myself that I enjoy. Here is my list of short, relaxing things to do! Take a bubble bath Calming epsom salt, bubble bath, fizzy bath bombs, exfoliation scrub - all the things. Laid back with the soothing aromas, as the stress of the day...

Disclosure: this post is sponsored by Bra Genie.  I've heard it said many times and many ways over various times in my life that a woman's single most important piece of clothing is a properly fitted, quality bra. And I'm here to tell you it's true. My husband had recently commented that my bras were starting to look "tired" and that maybe I should get some new ones. Constant opening and closing/pushing and prodding due to breastfeeding multiple littles over the past 4 years without a break? Yep, they're tired all right, and I don't just mean my bras. So on my birthday last month, I decided to go into Bra Genie and see what it was all about (and I mean,...

Fall is here (even though in south Louisiana it is hard to tell)! With it comes pumpkin spice and all things nice. This is often one of the busiest times of year for families, and as a mom time is hardly ever on our side. In between chauffeuring kids, cooking meals, working jobs, and being wives it can be far too easy to slip into a style rut. Maybe you have traded your inner fashionista for yoga pants and dance mom/sports mom tees. Well I am a firm believer that when you look better you really do feel better. So here are a few tips of the season to help you "fall" into style.  Colors of the season: This season the...

P.S. (and this P.S. totally goes at the beginning) This is a sponsored post. Services from ALG Style and all of the photos are courtesy of Quaint+Whim. Oh, The Perks! {My Three Hours With ALG Style} So, picture this: You get to live in a fairy tale for an evening; two fashion fairy godmothers come to your house and help you go through your closet, shoes and accessories, all the while building you up by pointing out what looks great on you and magically making what doesn't disappear. (Your husband even takes the kids away for the majority of the evening.) The scary part? You have to let them in YOUR HOUSE and in YOUR CLOSET with a PHOTOGRAPHER and put the whole thing...
