She {hearts} The Q2 Internet Radio

I recently receive a cute little wifi radio that originates from the UK. It’s only been in the US for a few weeks and it’s called the Q2. The Q2 Wifi Radio is just four inches square and can fit in the palm of my hand. It comes in five fresh colors, and has no [...]

She {hearts} hellomellow

The folks at hellomellow sent me a goodie bag just in time for Mother’s Day. What I love about hellomellow products, besides how yummy they smell and feel, is that they were created with Cancer in mind. We are all aware that there are certain ingredients in mainstream products that are linked to Cancer and [...]

Apple Turnovers For Mother’s Day

My mother has been asking me to make her some apple turnovers for months. It’s been years, probably, since I’ve made them last. I used to do everything by hand since I didn’t have a mixer or the clever idea of cutting the dough using …

A Simple Yet Sweet Mother’s Day Beauty Bag

Choosing a Mother’s Day Gift does not have to be extravagant or Pinteresting. It can be as simple as gathering some of mom’s favorite beauty products or products she’s been wanting to try and gifting them in a cute cosmetics bag. Why …

Mommy & Me Mother’s Day {Giveaway: 5/11/12} From Penguin Books

Mother’s Day is right around the corner and I have a great giveaway for you gals! I thought the offering was unique (the kidlets get gifted some goodies to keep them occupied while mom reads and writes), so I just had to host! Just SOME of the lo…

She {hearts} ArtWark Handmade Jewelry

I love meaningful jewelry, especially jewelry that reflects my children. I fell in love with ArtWark‘s gorgeous, handmade jewelry (with a personal touch) the instant I came across it. Sweet Sarah, the designer behind ArtWark‘s lovely collections, was so kind to make me a custom “Mother’s Love” necklace. ArtWark is one of our Baby Boom [...]

Mod Podge Chevron Frames for Valentine’s Day

Mod Podge Chevron Frames for Valentines Day Sophistishe mommy blog

002_1Photo taken 12/4/11 during a date night at FunFusion in NY. I recently picked up my very first bottle of Mod Podge and I am hooked. For my very first project I decided to attempt to decorate some frames for Valentine’s Day. I honestly had no idea what I was doing, but I love how they turned out! This project is perfect for sprucing up old frames. I didn’t have any frames in need of an immediate makeover so I picked some up at Walmart for 98 cents. I was hoping to find white frames, but I was unable to [...]

Holiday 2011 In Photos

Holiday 2011 In Photos Sophistishe mommy blog

001This post is entirely too late (just like last year’s post), but in order for me to get back into the swing of things, I need to post it. If I don’t, it’ll continue to bug me. So here it is, some photos from the holiday. No captions because I’m mysterious like that and I don’t want to make photo sharing harder than what it really should be. Plus it’s getting late and I’m hungry. Just keeping it real. {more photos on Flickr} © Sophistishe 2012 | Permalink | 14 comments – Let’s chat!

The Guilt of Christmas Present Overload

The Guilt of Christmas Present Overload Sophistishe mommy blog

103In early September, I started preparing Jayden’s wishlist to ensure that his presents were bought and wrapped in advance to avoid the hectic last minute. So I made a list. And it was hard at first because he hadn’t asked for anything and was content with what he had. So I began to add items based on his interests. Since quite a few people contribute to Jayden’s gifts, I found myself adding things just to add them… so everyone could equally contribute (they are happy to) and then I found myself deleting away. It was just too much. I started [...]
