"Mommy's on a Business Trip"

Today over on the New Orleans Mom's Blog, I'm talking about being a full-time working mom and a part-time traveling mom, and some tips I've picked up over the last six months on how to make it work for your family.  Truthfully I was nervous about the amount of travel I did pre-baby, and how we would adjust.  Please come on over and share your thoughts!

Preppy "My Pink & Green Garden" Giveaway!

Hey sweet friends!

You might recall when I shared Stella's nursery (here) that I posted about a darling Lilly Pulitzer-print custom made pillow that I found on Etsy for her bassinet.  When I started emailing with the lovely and extremely talented Irene, we obviously hit it off right away with our mutual love of Lilly!  Irene's shop is full of beautiful eye-candy for your home, including these amazing new custom wooden hand-painted sail boats pictured above.  Wouldn't they make a charming addition to any sailing or Lilly-lover's bedroom?   You know it is on my wish list!

My Pink & Green Garden also offers made-to-order pillows in a variety of sizes, trims and patterns with monograms and names.  These darling pillows are perfect for Mother's Day and Graduation gifts!

Now for the fun part -- My Pink & Green Garden has offered the extremely generous giveaway below!

The winner will have their choice of not one, not two, but THREE gorgeous items!

A Lilly Pulitzer fabric memo board (pictured above,) a Lilly Pulitzer 10x13 pillow with a solid front, and a Lilly Pulitzer fabric silhouette pillow (both pictured below.)

Winner selects their choice in pattern!  (A $96 value!)

See Rafflecopter link below for details on how to enter.  

The contest will run through midnight April 18, and will be announced this Friday, April 19.

Best of luck to everyone, and special thanks again to My Pink & Green Garden for the amazing giveaway!

Baby Feeding Journeys

Today over on the New Orleans Moms Blog, I'm talking about our baby feeding journey with Stella.  I know this is a very controversial subject, and everyone has their own way that they choose to nourish their child.  Please click over to read my journey here, and feel free to share your own!  Our team of bloggers has been sharing their individual journeys, with special thanks to the sponsors below.

At the end of the day, we might make different choices, but we as moms all love our children more than anything.  Each baby gets fed in all unique ways, and each way gives you a happy, healthy baby. Isn't that what ALL mothers want?

JOY

My mom snapped this picture of Stella on Easter Sunday as we were swinging on the swing set at the lake.  If there was ever a picture of joy and utter happiness that my heart could dream up, this is it.  Completely untouched/unfinished/not perfect, but my baby girl, happy as can be with a tiny nose wrinkle and a darling baby bonnet.  

Be still my heart.
