Snowtographs

Snowtographs Sophistishe mommy blog

003The snow that I so desperately wanted before the holidays came (albeit late) and went. Now, I am craving Spring. I need some green grass and morning dew in my life. Of course we can just pick up and move to the south. Having the flexibility to do so is so wonderful, but we’re just not ready. So I will continue to b-word about it until that time comes, lol. Anywho, I took some photos before the snow melted and I wanted to share them with you :) . Sidenote: I look back at photos from previous Winter’s and realize that [...]

She {hearts} Phix Drinks

How many of you drink mostly water, but on occasion would love a treat to drink? Or maybe you drink a lot of soda, but would love to cut back with a sweet, yet healthy alternative. Phix is a company I came to learn about… that offers an energy herbal drink powder line, as well [...]

She {hearts} Strawesome

I came across a neat company recently that sells reusable glass drinking straws.  “Why choose glass straws?” you may ask.  Well, there are many reasons (click here for the top ten reasons to choose reusable glass straws), but I personally prefer to use them because they are toxin-free (no BPAs or phthalates) and reduce waste. Plus, [...]

NADA

Being a yoga instructor, I have known the importance of foot and posture health for many years. I know that being barefoot is best, but unfortunately we can’t be on a yoga mat all the time. I have been interested in minimalist shoes for awhile, but I didn’t know you could have fashion coincide with [...]

She {hearts} Krimson Klover

Part of what gets me into the Winter spirit are boots and sweaters. Fair Isle sweaters especially. I just fall for them every time. I was recently introduced to Krimson Klover who are like THE lady sweater emporium! Krimson Klover offer what they like to call Knits With a Twist. All of their sweaters not [...]

So about that Mirena…

So about that Mirena... Sophistishe mommy blog

I had it removed. If I had the stamina to do back flips, I would. I have never been so happy to have a body beginning to function as it is intended to (hello menstrual cycle). But to back up a little bit… in this post I mentioned my suspicion of the Mirena (inserted 3 1/2 years ago) causing my mental health plummet. Never did I imagine that at age 24, I’d find myself feeling trapped at the bottom of the barrel. I won’t get into details or dramatics, but for over a year I felt pretty crappy on most [...]

After Christmas, my eyes begin turning toward party supplies! Why, you ask? Because all four of my kiddos have birthdays within the first four months of the year! So, you can imagine my excitement when I found Michelle’s Party Shop on Etsy. She creates the most adorable cupcake toppers and other digital files for decorations. [...]

She {hearts} The Crafty Cat Corner

Having a little girl is SO MUCH FUN! The dresses, the shoes, the princesses, the baby dolls. I love it all! And as the years have gone by, I have patiently waited for her beautiful hair to grow long enough to play with, and now, less than 2 months away from her 3rd birthday, it [...]
