Tomorrow Mattress Review

Hi you guys!!

          We're currently redecorating our master bedroom and we decided we wanted to get a new mattress as well since we weren't really happy with the one we had. So when Tomorrow sleep mattress agreed to send us one in exchange for a review we thought why not?

          We have had our new mattress so far for three nights and so I wanted to give you guys a little review of what we thought about it so far. And then in the coming few weeks I'll include another review and share some updated master bedroom pictures as well.

       The hybrid mattress comes in a box wrapped tightly and they include a cute little cutter to open it. As soon as you cut into the plastic the mattress starts expanding. You'll want to open it over your box springs so you don't have to move it after. We went with the Medium Soft in the King size.

      This review is going to be completely honest and the opinion of myself and my husbands. The first morning after waking up my back hurt, my hubby said to give it a few nights to let my back adjust to the new bed. I was so skeptical and thought he was crazy. Morning two after I woke up I didn't have any back pain and we both slept great! Night three we both slept great again like deep sleep great and I didn't have any back pain. So hopefully the first night my hubby was right and it was just a fluke! I'll keep you guys updated and if you have any questions feel free to reach out.

     If your shopping for a new mattress and want to give TOMORROW memory foam hybrid mattress a try you can use the code 'BLUSHING100' for $100 off any $500 order! Expires 12/31/17

My favorite shops for the girls

Hey guys!! I've been getting a lot of messages about where I shop for the girls so I'm going to share with you some of my favorite shops and stores we love. 

First of all, shopping for my girls is one of my favorite things to do ever! Even better than shopping for me and I never thought I would never say that!  haha So thank you so much for all the sweet words and messages it truly means so much to me and makes me so happy to hear you love it too. 

So I'm going to start with my favorite actual stores I like to shop at for the girls.

1. Old navy has to be my number one choice, hands down. I feel like they are always on point with fashion trends, like the espadrilles the girls are wearing here.

And you really can't beat their prices either! I always check their new arrivals and do an online order once a month to get the girls a few new fresh trendy items.  They just released some of their fall clothes and its so good!!

2. Zara. Okay so since I like in Bako and there really isn't any super good stores here I tend to do online orders and this store gives me all the heart eyes. And in my opinion it's a little pricier than other stores so I don't order as much as I'd like to. #boo👎🏻 But it's a good one for sure to check out! 

3. H&M. I really like the way h&m clothes fit on my daughter. I love this store for more of fun play clothes for the girls and dress up tutus and their shorts and denim bottoms are my absolute favorite finds here. I am not one to buy by child character clothes except for pajamas and I like that this store has fun clothes like that, that don't give off that character vibe. The yellow tops pictures above are from here for $5! And I also scored this over all dress that blake is wearing here..

4.Cotton On. This one can get a little pricey in my opinion too but if you catch a good sale then you can find some super good stuff. I got the girls these outfits pictured here for a steal and they are still a favorite of ours. 

5. Target. I mean, target duh! You knew I wasn't going to leave this one out! 😜So for me target is actually hit or miss as far as the toddler department goes. They have a certain section of the toddler department I like best, which is usually the corner part that's most seen when you walk by. That's where I find the more trendy and fashionable pieces. But I will say they have upped their prices in the last year or so and I'm just not feeling spending $25 on each dress for my two girls. 😳 

Instagram Shops

Okay, so I've always loved supporting small shops. Especially for Halloween outfits, birthdays or just everyday fun trendy clothes. Here's a few or 11 of my favorites.

Pink Blush

Is there really even a cuter shop name than shop Pink Blush?? I mean, its pretty darn cute! Back when I was prego with Blakely I purchased my first item from them and fell in LOVE with the quality and cuteness!  //I included a picture down below//

I was so excited when Alisha from shop pink blush reached out and wanted to collab, of course not only for me but for my friends to also win a $50 shop credit. Since spring is right around the corner I picked out a super cute kimono from their shop. I love love love it! This kimono will definitely be on repeat. Did you know shop pink blush offers maternity and women clothing?

 Kimonos are so easy to dress up or down in my opinion. Next time I wear mine I'll pair it with some distressed short and a tank for a more casual look. Be sure to check out their shop for some super cute and affordable clothing!

You can find the kimono I'm wearing here.

Lucky Charm CupCakes

One way my four year old and I like to spend our one on one time together is in the kitchen baking while brother and sister nap. Cupcake's are usually our go to and with littles they should always be fun and easy, thats why I love these Lucky Charm cupcakes.

I love being in the kitchen with her and making fun memories with just her and I. I let her pick out a cake box while on a target run to get her extra excited. Her go to is always funfetti! We decided to add green food coloring to the mix for St. Pattys Day. 

  Even though we aren't Irish we will take any and all excuses to get our holiday on! After the cupcakes were baked and cooled we frosted them and Joslyn decorated with the lucky charm cereal. If you have littles then you'll know cereal plus cupcakes is like heaven to them, and makes me the coolest mom ever. 

   Glambanners sent us some adorable St. Patricks Day cupcake toppers and a super cute banner which totally makes the cupcakes pop! If your throwing an event or party definitely check out her shop for some amazing party items.

JORD Wood Watches

Luxury Wooden Watch

I can't believe Valentine's Day is so close! Wasn't Christmas like two minutes ago?! If your like me and struggle with gift ideas for the hubby then here's an option both you and him will love. 

When JORD contacted us I was so excited to collaborate with them and for my hubby to try out a new style of watch especially because I really love the unique wood style they offer.

This watch is so handsome! I really love the size of it and don't even get me started on the wood detail. It's so masculine and the red detail is so fun and such a statement piece. The face of the watch is also perfect for my hubby's large wrist. And my husband has also mentioned how comfortable it is, which is crucial for arm candy. You can find the style he has here

The quality of this watch is also there. The wood details on the band are so intricate, you can tell every piece is made with such thought and care. 

If your looking for a gift for your special guy I would highly recommend a woodwatch. They have so many options to choose from too and for women as well! You can see them all here

Don't forget you still have time to enter to win a $100 gift card here and you will automatically get a $25 gift card just for entering. 

The contest will close 2/26 at 11:59pm. Both the $100 and the $25 codes will expire on 4/30/2017

Valentine's Party

Valentines is by far my favorite holiday. I just love seeing all the pink and reds placed subtely around the house, it really does feel like love is in the air! One of the newer traditions I started for my littles is throwing them a Valentines lunch. 

This week one of their favorite movies came out so I decided to plan their lunch around the movie release to make it extra special for them.

For lunch they had a heart shaped sandwich, yogurt with sprinkles, teddy grahams, some festive popcorn, and mini cupcakes. So basically, my kids had sugar! 

For the teddy grahams I just got a straw and dipped it in frosting to stick the hearts to the bears. Super cute, easy and the kids loved it!

For the popcorn, I melted white chocolate and drizzled it all over the popcorn and then added some cute heart sprinkles.

I bought their favorite yogurt and then just sprinkled it as well.. Sprinkles are a game changer I tell ya!

I set up a small craft after they finished eating as well. I found these super cute stickers that the kids got to color themselves which ended up being Joslyn's favorite. I also put out glitter poms, glitter stickers with glue sticks with construction paper.

Seeing how excited they get over the littlest things makes my mama heart so happy and all the extra effort so worth it!

Valentine Baked Donuts

 You guys, two food posts in one week... Who am I?! The sweet tooth is strong! 💪🏻 Just call me Martha Stewart! 😜 Okay, okay I'll calm down.

I definitely prefer baking to actual full on cooking, so I'm very thankful to have a hubby who enjoys cooking and is pretty darn good at it too!

This week I was inspired by a sweet friend to make donuts, and let me tell ya it's a game changer! We will definitely be adding these to the baking train. Since the donuts aren't fried they are super moist and totally remind me of a cupcake consistency but better!! 🙌🏻 

I came across quite a few donut recipes and I'm all about easy! So it totally made sense to try a cake box version. Here's the recipe I used below. 

Donuts Recipe 

Ingredients:

1 box Cake mix of your choice (I used strawberry)

1 egg

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 cup water

Directions:

Whisk all ingredients until well blended 

Spray donut pan with cooking spray 

Fill donut pan about 2/3 full

Bake at 425 for 6-8 minutes or until donuts spring back when touched 

Let cool 5-10 minutes 

Tip: I put the batter into a large ziplock bag and cut a small corner at the bottom to use as my piping bag. Also, I filled my donut pan way too high, so next time I'm filling about 2/3 full.

Pink Icing Recipe 

Ingredients:

1/2 cup confectioners powder 

1/2 teaspoon Vanilla

1 tablespoon Milk 

Directions:

Combine all ingredients and stir until mixed well. I gradually added a bit more confection sugar to make my frosting thicker. Or if you would like it thinner add more milk. For the two tones of pink I used gel food coloring. 

Tip: Sprinkle/decorate your donut right after you dip each donut because the icing sets pretty quick!

We can't wait to try a new flavor next time. Hope you guys enjoy this recipe as much as I do! Please tag me if you decide to give it a try, I'd love to see yours! 🍩💗

Shot through the heart Brownies

Hey guys! It's been a minute okay more like a month... But it gets crazy with three littles and life in general. Now that the holiday season is over I'm hoping to put more time into this little blog.

Occassionally I get the itch to bake. It's something I've always enjoyed doing even when I was a little girl. Im so glad my oldest daughter likes being in the kitchen as well and we get to bond over lickin' the spoons and just being silly together. I showed Joslyn some cute things I found on Pinterest and she picked out these "Shot through the heart brownies" that are super cute and easy to make. Here's our little version or if you'd like to check out the pinterest source you can here

Ingredients:

Favorite brownie box

Pink or Red Frosting tube

Sprinkles

Tooth Picks

Heart Shaped Candy/Marshmellow's

Steps:

Make Brownies (lay foil into 13x9 pan and spray with butter to allow for easy heart shape cutter)

Let cool completely

Cut brownies into heart shapes

Decorate with frosting

Sprinkle immediately after you frost so they stick

Toothpick top left and bottom right of brownie and add heart shape candies!

Thats it! Super super easy friends! And totally kid friendly. Hope you enjoy.

And don't forget to let the littles mix, decorate and most importantly lick the spoons!
