Christmas CardsIt’s that time of year again to go crazy taking family pictures and finding that perfect snap to place on the a Christmas card of your choosing!

Here are some great choices! There is still time to send them out-but if you miss Christmas well there are beautiful New Year cards that everyone will enjoy!

SAANTAAA… I KNOW HIM

by jennaeostrowski on / Family

Well this weekend was full of Ho Ho Ho’s, runny noses, and snow! Why can’t there ever be a December without the sneezes sniffles and snots? ha haweekends with the ostrowskis We have been running our Young Living diffuser with Thieves and R.C. to help support little Harlo’s nose and boost her immune system! If you want some of these oils head over here! I am hoping Sutton doesn’t get it but after being sneezed on multiple times a day there is only a small window of hope!;) I also have been putting the thieves on Harlo’s  feet with socks, some breathe easy rub from Honest Company and having her take elderberry syrup!! Annnnd following her around with tissues ha ha ha yep I am that mom 😉bench hangs

So our weekend was fast and chaotic pretty much like most weekends! Saturday we went to the mall to see what I say is the ‘REAL’ Santa because it is the same place I went to see Santa as a kid!! I love the tradition. This year Harlo had no tears just smiles for good ole St. Nick and told him what she wanted for Christmas! (a doll carrier that she can wear) We are at that stage where she wants to mimic everything I do! I love it and never want it to change 🙂 Sutton also did a great job she wasn’t phased one bit! Sunday it snowed ALLLLLLLLLLLL day and we played in for a little bit! Embrace what you do not like!

Holiday Hats

by jennaeostrowski on / Fashion

Last night we went out to a local town that has a holiday train come through and performs Christmas music! The train is  decked out with lights and one of the train cars opens up and a band is playing Christmas music and Santa is there too! If it wasn’t so cold we would have stayed the entire time 😉 Harlo has a love for trains right now so she loved watching the train come into town with the pretty lights! It was a fun and super cold event 😉Holiday Train

A Sweater and Hat Look

Happy Tuesday!

Did St. Nick come? Did you use stockings or shoes? We used stockings and the girls made a haul! They must have been VERY good little girls because St. Nick left lots of goodies for her and Sutton! Smiley Sutton didn’t know what was going on but big sister Harlo helped her out- we call her that because all you have to do is look at her and she gives you the biggest smile EVER 🙂  Yesterday was full of snow fun, late naps and pancakes for dinner thanks to my man! Check out my casual cozy look below!cowl neck sweater and denim

Our First Snow

by jennaeostrowski on / Family

Our first snow has arrived! Most find it magical and exciting… well I find it cold and wet! I guess it’s pretty & magical if I’m cozy on the couch and sipping hot cocoa.  Although, watching Harlo dance around and sing it’s snowing, it’s snowing song from Barney outside in the snow made me look at the snow in a different way!weekends with the ostrowskis

Cowl Neck and Stripes

by jennaeostrowski on / Fashion

Happy Saturday Friends!

Today we went out for Breakfast with Santa and this year was the first year that Harlo sat on Santa’s lap and didn’t cry! Not saying she was super thrilled though! No smiling she was still a little unsure but the memories each year are so much fun! Sutton was sleeping so we didn’t want to wake her up to sit her on Santa’s lap – figured that would turn into a scream fest! We are now going to a local Christmas festival! We are taking my younger sister along with us! Bundling up and walking around looking at Christmas lights and a tree lighting reminds me of something straight out of a Hallmark movie! I am a cheese ball and love all those movies and this magical time of year! 🙂

Today I decided to wear a cowl neck sweater to keep me warm tonight! The cowl neck works great as a cute scarf to keep my neck warm and I paired the sweater with some moto leggings! All details are linked below 😉

What’s for Dinner?

by jennaeostrowski on / Family, Health

Happy Friday Lovelies!

This week I thought would go slow being that it came after a Holiday weekend but alas another week gone! Once Thanksgiving is over time goes even faster for me because of all the holiday fun I want to jam into one month! I don’t want to get all holiday crazy so my goal this season is to remember the true meaning of the Season. Now being a mom of two I have been finding it hard to do all the things I use to do. Once you have two kids you realize how much more time you had when there was just one 😉 I am now trying to find simpler ways to do things to allow me more time with my girls! Motherhood is a balancing act and most days I feel I am conquering it and then dinner hour comes and I feel defeated again. What am I going to make? Do I have all my ingredients?
