Better Together: Why Inviting Another Family Makes Activities More Fun #FamilyFun Sometimes family activities can feel like another item on the to-do list. However, doing those activities with another family makes them more fun! Whether it’s a trip to an amusement park , a visit to the local pool , or trip to a pumpkin patch , including another family can multiply the fun in amazing ways. One of my favorite moms to collaborate with is my friend, Ayana Ledford who's pictured above with her daughter Sahar. We have done all of the things listed as seemingly random examples above and here is how including her and her daughter (and sometimes her son too) has made the events more fun. On the date above, Ayana almost left the venue because parking was a nightmare. That said, she hung in there and we would up having a great time!

How to be a Glamorous Mom!

on

Lots of moms have contacted me about my glamour series.  They have had questions about how to apply certain cosmetics, confessed to following my advice and looking like a new mommy, and have thanked me for sharing what I have learned.  For that reason, and because I have loved all things glamorous since I was playing with Barbies, it's not over!

I have a lot of tips and stories left to share. I'm sure that you're not surprised though. If you have followed this blog you know that I have an endless supply of stories!

Easy Glamour Tip for Moms


Here is the easy glamour tip for today: Look as good as you can, in the least amount of time, for the most cost effective price. 

Glamour is the all about projecting an effortless put together image. It is not about putting on airs or buying clothes you can't afford. You can't be glamorous if you're obsessing about how much you paid for your shoes and hoping that you don't scuff them at your event because you couldn't afford them anyway.  You can't be glamorous if you are terrified that the baby will spit up on your dress or you'll spill something on it because you planned to take it back after one wearing.   All that worrying tends to cause wrnkles too. And who wants those?!

Genearlly, I am all about looking like my look costs a fortune even though it actually might only cost as much as a few Happy Meals.  That allows me to splurge on special things on occasion.  We'll discuss splurging later.  Now, it is time to share some deals that I have found.

I perused the web and found some deals for moms who want an affordable glamorous look.  The "beauty in a box" deals below are each only $10.00, but valued at around $50.00. They're for those times when you have a special event and want more than just a basic glamorous look.  The smoky eye option can help you get "Hollywood, Kim Kardashian eyes" even if you live in Rochester, New York! :-) (shout out to my hometown)  Also, the lip liner below is only $3.00. 

So, what I am saying is you can buy the one of the eye options and the liner and transform your look for $13.00 + shipping costs.  I know you love your friends, but I won't judge you if you keep these deals to yourself.

 GO FORTH AND BE GLAMOROUS!!!
