Mother’s Day Gift Guide

by jennaeostrowski on / Family, Lifestyle

Mother’s Day is fast approaching and I have put together a bunch of great gift ideas for all the mama’s and grandmama’s out there! Being a mother has sure changed the way I think and feel about things. Watching my mom as I grew up she always made it seem like being a mother was easy. Now that I have my two girls I know how much she loved us kids and how special it feels to have someone call you mom. What I didn’t realize is how difficult being a parent really is! I hope I make it look as easy as my mom made it look! I love Mother’s day not for myself but to celebrate my mom because I would not be where I am today without the unconditional love and support she gave me. Everyday I try to be more like her with the grace and kindness she shows everyday! Below are some fabulous gifts for all you special mamas. Sometimes if there isn’t something material, spending one on one time with your mom or grandma or spending time with your kids. No phones no distractions just quality time!

Top Baby Registry Items

by jennaeostrowski on / Baby, Family, Lifestyle, Motherhood

As a mama of two I have walked those store aisles making sure I have everything a baby needs! Researched items to find what others like and read a bajillion reviews. I did this with both because with Harlow I was pretty basic. When Sutton came I felt like I knew what I liked and what I didn’t and what to spend a little more money on if we could! Today I am bringing you the Top Baby Registry Items. My sister is due with a baby girl soon and even though it is her second baby there are always things to get and I say put together a registry because it really helps when you want to get a gift the mother actually wants or needs! Also, just a rule I always like to state having a baby is A LOT of work please be considerate when asking to visit. Always bring a little something for the baby and if there are siblings a little something for each of them! Anyways… below is a list of top baby registry items plus a few items I say need to be on your registry because they are tried and true from this mama of two!

My Girl’s Protein Shake

by jennaeostrowski on / Family, Health, Lifestyle

Keeping my girls healthy is my number one priority! I have been so blessed with good eaters. There are days where they don’t always want to eat the best. Sometimes giving them smoothies is so good and I love when I can sneak in all the healthy things and they don’t know. I always add protein to their smoothies to keep their tummies full for the day ahead!

How We Keep Our Immune Systems Healthy

by jennaeostrowski on / Family, Lifestyle, Motherhood, Young Living Essential Oils

 

 It is so hard to be healthy all the time! We all get sick but we don’t have to get sick for super long time! All we need to do is have our “Immune System tool kit” on hand so we are prepared to take down whatever virus heads our way! My girls are not in school yet so they don’t bring home as many germs but we all still get sick. I love natural remedies and using things that help our body fight what we have naturally! I use essential oils, supplements and elderberry syrup to help keep my family healthy! I will provide you with the syrup and gummy recipe we use for our elderberries! I will also share the probiotics I use as well during the dreaded cold and the probiotics I use everyday (when I am not sick). They are also safe for my girls to have too!

Athleisure Style

by jennaeostrowski on / Fashion, Lifestyle

 

 

Happy Sunday! Currently snuggled up and watching the Hallmark Channel Christmas movies with a fire and some hot coffee in hand. I hope you all are having a great weekend! As a mom of two I don’t always get dressed up and ready for the day, but I still want to look cute. I put together this great athleisure look that is comfy, cute and perfect for running errands… like Christmas shopping 😉 or I can even do my yoga in it. I haven’t had the motivation to work out in the past year but I would love to start back up because I did feel better when I worked out!

Master Bedroom Refresh

by jennaeostrowski on / Home, Lifestyle

This week has flown by! This weekend we did all things Halloween! Harlow loved trick or treating and dressing up as Sofia the First and Sutton is Sofia’s bunny friend Clover. It was really cold this weekend so they had to be all bundled up! Check out my stories on Instagram for those! AHHHdorable!

 I have been looking to refresh my bedroom for some time now. When ShopKo reached out to partner I thought I would check out their bedding. ShopKo asked me to promote their New Brands/ New Looks campaign! They have gotten new retailers and want to spread the word. One of their new brands is A&I which is the brand of my bedding and I absolutely love it! I was pleasantly surprised when I received it.
