Birthdays are my FAVORITE!

Tomorrow my favorite Kate turns 9(!!!)

Here is one of my favorite photos EVER....taken moments after she was born...moments after hearing the words "It's a GIRL!"

After 2 miscarriages, I was so happy to be holding my baby in my arms.

So thankful to our amazing nurse who took this priceless photo.

Birth Stories are also my favorite....you can read Kate's {HERE} Claire's {HERE} Luke's {HERE}

Speaking of birthdays, I saw this article floating around FB, so I clicked on it.

It brought tears to my eyes. Never thought of turning 9 as my halftime marker with my kids. This totally hit home, especially since Kate's 9th birthday is tomorrow.

You can read the article HERE

It's now one of my favorite articles.

Stitch Fix is my favorite

I just got an email from them letting me know my Fix is about to be shipped!
It's like Christmas morning every month. I have been getting them every month for a year and a half (you don't have to do them every month, but I love getting them, so I chose the monthly option. :)
You don't have to do it every month, you can customize it to how you want it...every other month, every 2 months, every 3 months, etc.

When you sign up for Stitch Fix, you link your Pinterest Boards to them so that know what styles you like. If you don't have Pinterest, that's okay because they also have a style questionaire for you to fill out & they have collages of outfits and you rate them on how you like them.
Each Fix comes with 5 different items & it comes with a prepaid mailing envelope, so you can easily return the items you don't want.
You aren't obligated to keep any of it! I have kept at least 1 item each time, sometimes I keep 2 or 3.
It's fun!

Sleeping in on Saturdays is one of my favorite things.

My favorite "Momfessional" Moment that I shared earlier this week was our Saturday morning trick.

{Read all my Momfessionals HERE }

I loved that so many of you want to try this trick. You will have to let me know if it works!!

I saw this quote and it is so me....I am such a night owl (I go to bed after midnight almost every night) but I don't like waking up early!

Chopping off 6 inches of my hair has been one of my favorite things I have done in 2016!!!

I went in to get a trim & highlights and walked out with 6 inches gone.

It feels good to have a fresh, clean look for the New Year!

As if you didn't know, Rodan + Fields is my favorite skin care :)
I use the Reverse line in the mornings (for sun damage/age spots/melasma) and I use Redefine at night (anti age & fine lines/wrinkles)

Getting texts from my friends/customers about how much they are loving the products is my favorite.

This is my friend/customer Erin.

She has been using Reverse and our AMP Roller for just 13 Days!!! Less than 2 weeks and look at the amazing results she has had!

WOW! It has also helped clear up some of her hormonal acne.

Here is Amy, a fellow consultant...look at her amazing results!

Getting FREE things is my Favorite....how about you?

For all new preferred customers you get $20 cash back, 10% off your order, FREE shipping AND a FREE Lip Micro Dermabrasion Chap Stick!!!

It is my FAVORITE for the winter weather that causes chapped lips.

Our Lip Micro-Dermabrasion is an effective and convenient exfoliation stick created specifically for one of the areas of your face most prone to showing early signs of aging: your lips. It removes dead skin cells and exfoliates flaky lip tissues in just a few swipes. This easy to use, conditioning treatment makes lips look and feel more defined and youthful by renewing the surface and reducing lipstick bleeding! I use it each morning and every night before bed. The stick lasts over 4 months!

I would LOVE to help you with your skin care needs!
