Garden Mama

Closet

April 25, 2017 by Drafts & Crafts

An adorable printed tee should be apart of every mama’s uniform! I am swooning over this comfy look for spring and summer!

{Jeans: Forever21} {Sandals: Lord & Taylor}
{TC’s romper: Pikku Myy}
{Baby Bonnet: Briar Handmade}

My search for a cute mama tee is over! I had been wanting to buy a printed tee with some kind of mom slogan on it for quite some time. Then my IG friend, @govictoria, created a line called, The Southern Trunk. They have several sweet t-shirts for moms, dads, local lovers, and kids! Of course when I saw “garden mama,” I had to have it! I think every mama needs some causal t-shirts that can be thrown on with a pair of jeans or jean shorts, comfortable and practical for chasing after babies! I can not say enough good things about Tanner’s romper from Pikku Myy on Etsy. The romper comes in several different colors, both long sleeve and short sleeve, and it is the softest material! What are some of your favorite spring styles?

Mommy & Misc

April 19, 2017 by Drafts & Crafts

It is extremely hard to believe next month we will have a toddler on our hands, or as I would like to call him, a tod-fant. I am sharing 10 fun activities to check off your spring/summer bucketlist with your children.

  1. Take a trip to the beach to splash in the water and build sandcastles.
  2. Have a picnic and pack a snack, a frisbee, and some bubbles.
  3. Plant some flowers or herbs in the backyard.
  4. Build a water table out of 2 x 4’s and a large plastic bins.
  5. Play in the sprinklers or hose or fill up water balloons.
  6. Take a family bike ride! We recently bought the child cargo trailer off craiglist. They are expensive new so local Facebook mom groups, second hand stores, and craigslist are great places to check for used trailers.
  7. Plan a craft day with other moms and children, set out picnic blankets and snacks! I want to have friends over to make bird feeders.
  8. Make and popsicles eat them!
  9. Take a day trip to a zoo or aquarium.
  10. Make homemade play dough on a rainy spring day, or summer if you live in Florida like we do!

What are your big plans to stay busy with your kiddos this spring and summer? I can’t wait to check these fun activities off of our bucketlist!!
