Best Ways to Dress Kids for Snow and Cold Temps

With all the holiday gifting that is going on, I started to think about some of the favorite gifts that I’ve received over the years. They may not be favorites in the exciting new car gift kind of way (I’ll know my family is set if my husband ever gifts me a car on Christmas!), or favorites in the sentimental kind of way, but there have been a few gifts over the years that have helped my life immensely. Even if they are incredibly boring.

NOTE: I would suggest not gifting these items on Christmas day. Unless you have other things to balance them out. But, I would totally recommend sending them as a surprise to your pregnant friend or the new mom you know.

The Best Blue Jeans for Moms

Something happened to me once I had kids. Well, lots of things happened, but one of them is something I am not particularly proud of. I lost my style. Weight gain, weight loss, a lack of showering, a lack of money, a lack of time, exhaustion, not leaving my home, not interacting with other adults, and not wanting to be upset when nice clothes get covered in what my kids eat…these are just some of the reasons for my style getting a bit murky. I am sure I will explore this in more depth in future blog posts, but for now, let’s focus on the positive. I found the best pair of blue jeans.
