Welcome to the Holiday Gift Guide for Grandparents! We are starting the season early over here at The Fairy Tale Family and we wanted to kick it off with our gift guides. If you tuned in for Blogmas 2018 (where I attempted to write a blog post for every single day of December - and I failed) then you will know that I LOVE CHOOSING GIFTS FOR PEOPLE. Seriously. It's my actual love language. I wanted to start with some of the most important people in our lives. My mother-in=law - Mammie[...]
Mother's Day is coming up, so I've generously gathered all of the best gifts for her (read: selfishly made a wish list to publicly share - HINT HINT). If you haven't seen my post on the best gift of all - a FabFitFun subscription - be sure to do so if you want a discount code! Beauty & Fragrance I will always recommend a fragrance because they are luxurious, expensive, and if done right, personal. Matching a fragrance to a person really shows how much you know them. My absolute f[...]
As Bustle has confirmed, the fictional hero's -and queen of Galentine's Day - Leslie Knope - holiday has entered into our real world celebrations. If you've been living under a rock, Leslie Knope is the bubbly, energetic protagonist of NBC's Parks & Rec which is now available on Netflix. GO. BINGE. NOW. Anyway, Ms. Knope decided that Valentine's Day was intended for EVERYONE you love and Galentine's Day was formally born! I've been celebrating my girlfriends in February si[...]
I love lists. All lists: to-do, check, grocery, clothing, planning, etc. I thrive on them and crossing things off is a feeling of success, even for the smallest task. Every year, I keep a Google Sheet for gift ideas, purchases, if they're wrapped, and cards; however, I tend to look at planning for this in November. NO MORE. I'm creating a new plan. I've mentioned before that giving gifts is my love language and I love to shop during the holiday season, BUT I often don't appropriately budget an[...]
As Caleigh and I sit to watch Olaf's Frozen Adventure for minimally the 13th night in a row, I'm noticing that dang I smell delicious. While you may have seen this title and clicked out immediately, I love to know what other people buy for themselves: skin care, makeup, shower products, clothes, kitchenware, decor... be still my heart! I'm nosy. When these things collide with seasonal festive scents?! I'm going to share with you some of the things I'm loving that will wrap you in a Christ[...]
Happy Sunday, friends! What a festive, fun-filled weekend it's been for my family. Today's post is coming a little later than usual because of all of the time we've been spending together. I hope you've been able to soak up some time with your loved ones as well. If there is a secret weapon to being a mama, I'd say it's Pinterest. Pinterest holds a treasure trove of ideas ranging from the simple-do-now-achievable to intense-complex-failures. I've been the victim to some fairly epic Pinterest Fa[...]
Do you have a lady in your life that you'd like to buy for? Is she discerning (read: picky)? A little bougie? Fantastic. You've come to the right place. As mentioned in Blogmas Day 4 (Part II): 12 Seasonal Favorites, my absolute favorite part of December days are gift buying and gift giving (and don't forget the wrapping!). I don't feel like an expert in many capacities, but I boldly state that I am and expert gift giver. This is being said also knowing that I am on a teacher's salary and[...]
