Matilda Jane Giveaway [OVER]

This giveaway is now OVER. Congrats Elizabeth C.! You have won a $50 gift card to Matilda Jane! A big thanks to everyone who entered this great giveaway!

Let me just say that long are the days where my child was a fat "baby fat fat" in super adorable smocked bubbles and dresses. Now she is a four year old cool kid. One that likes tee-shirts and not seersucker rompers. Well, okay, I still stuff her in smocked dresses on occasion, but before long, she won't like the clothes I pick out. She will want Birkenstocks instead of those cute Ked's, HAVE TO order from dELiA*s, MOM!, and she'll need a phone line in her room like her little life depends on it. Who are you going to talk to? Boys? NO! I don't know. Muh friends?

Okay, let's be real. That was me and not my Adrienne. Because, hello, landlines.

Anyhoo, I'm getting way ahead of myself. But, since I do still get to pick out Adrienne's clothes, (thank you sweet baby Jesus) I now choose Matilda Jane.

Matilda Jane is a little girl's clothing company that even caters to the tween age group. They also recently have started offering a selection of clothing for women. Another cool thing about Matilda Jane is that you can become a Trunk Keeper. That basically means you go to people's house, set up shop, and sell Matilda Jane clothes. Or, you can have a Trunk Keeper come to your house to have a Matilda Jane party!

Since these clothes are super well made, they last, and people will pay great money for used Matilda Jane outfits. After your kiddo has outgrown their Matilda Jane duds, you can resale them for close to retail price! Hey-oh!

Bottom line, Matilda Jane clothes are so ridiculously cute. There are so many different patterns and fabrics to choose from. The outfits can all be mixed and matched, too. Once you put your little girl in these clothes, you will get addicted. #anotheraddiction

The outfit Adrienne is wearing is from the Paint By Numbers collection.

Now you can enter to win a $50 gift card to Matilda Jane! For your chance to win, just log into the Rafflecopter below (or make a new Rafflecopter account), and follow the directions for each entry. Please make sure to actually do what's required for each entry. If you just click enter and not do what it's asking, I'll know. If you are unsure how to do one, skip it and contact me. I can't stress this enough. I go back and check to make sure the winner actually did what was required. I will not let cheaters win. DON'T CHEAT. Meh.

Christmas 2013 Snippets

 Whelp, guys, I'm back. It's been a crazy, no wait, CRAZY past two months, and I'm so glad they are over. If you don't know something about me, it's this; I'm an absolute creature of habit. I despise change. I also love order. I like everything to have it's own place. I'm not a total OCD fruitloop, though. If stuff is messy, I'm okay with it. But when it's time to pick up, everything goes right back where it belongs.

So, when you throw the huge move into our new abode, plus Christmas, plus my kiddo's fourth birthday, plus dinner parties, I was pooped to the max. My anxiety level has actually just leveled out, most of my junk is unpacked and put in it's allotted spot, and the Christmas decor has been boxed back up.

#normalcy.

Anyhoo, I wanted to share a few photos from when we put up our Christmas decor and also when we went to our local Christmas parade.

There will be plenty more holiday snippets to come!

Lavazza and Breakfast Pizza

Christmas has finally come and gone and boy, am I glad. It's almost time to take the tree and all the decor down. I'm actually perfectly okay with it this year. I'm usually sad and want the lights and tinsel in my face for months. But this season? Notsomuch. I've had my fill.

You want to know something that I can never get my fill of? Coffee. I drink it all throughout the day and night. It's basically my life source. Since coffee will forever be my jam, Lavazza sent some of their amazingly delicious coffee for us to guzzle. If you haven't heard about Lavazza, they are an Italian coffee company power house that has been churning out black goodness since the late 1800's. And they sure know how to make an incredible dark roast. 

Anydoublecreamandnosugar, I also wanted to share with you guys today our yummy breakfast pizza recipe. It also goes perfectly with Lavazza's Gran Selezione.

Benna

Y'all. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. I can't believe it. This year has completely flown by. I feel like I'm getting too old too fast and will probably continually complain about how this time thing is a crock of ish. 

Since we are on the verge of Christmas, I thought I should talk about jewels. One of my favorite online jewelry stores is Benna. Every single time I look on their website, I legitimately start to drool. 

This amazing jewelry company was started by a young jewelry designer named Benna Harry. She hand picks all of the jewelry to make sure each piece is both exquisite and cutting-edge, just like their collection of gold designer charm bracelets. Any of these bracelets would make a great gift. Benna also has many amazing jewelry designers. Jewelry designer Sydney Evan is one of them. 

Here are just some of my favorite pieces from Benna. It was super hard to narrow it down to just these.
