🍂 GIVEAWAY for Vintage Market Days Dayton/Cinci

🍂 GIVEAWAY for Vintage Market Days Dayton/Cincinnati!

Back in August, I took on the challenge of decorating most of my sister’s house in 4 weeks. Here’s a video on her main living space upstairs. Over the years I’ve helped her pick out furniture, rugs, mirrors, etc, and the. i tied it all together over those 4 weeks.

It wasn’t too difficult actually because she and I had been picking up decor pieces for months. Some of our favorite pieces came from @vintagemarketdaysofdaytoncincy , including the clock on the mantle and the scale on the TV console.

That’s why I’m super excited to go back to VMD one week from today! AND I have a pair of VIP tickets to give away tomorrow, Saturday, October 23, at 9pm.

To enter, follow me and @vintagemarketdaysofdaytoncincy , then go to my stories and move the smiley face bar in my stories. That’s it!

I hope you can join me and 120 vendors at the Green County Fairgrounds in Xenia from Friday, 10/29 to Sunday, 10/31.

Good luck!

Both of my boys have struggled with food sensitivi

Both of my boys have struggled with food sensitivities and texture issues and we’ve known that food allergies were a possibility. In fact, food allergies have doubled over the last generation and 2 out of 3 kids with them do not have a parent with one.

I heard from my pediatrician that the experts had started recommending introducing multiple allergens as early as 4 months old. It’s honestly overwhelming to know where and how to start, which is why I am so grateful to have found SpoonfulONE.

With products like bottle and food mix-ins, puffs, and crackers, SpoonfulONE is a safe and easy system for introducing the foods that are associated with 90% of food allergies, little by little, from infancy through early childhood. Eli absolutely loves the crackers, as you can see. Plus, the best part is that you can now get SpoonfulONE at Target! I’m there every single week so it’s super convenient.

If you have little ones, you should definitely check out Target for SpoonfulONE products!

🍂Just one last look at the fall mantle before I skip over Halloween and head straight into Christmas. I didn’t realize the kiddos had been playing with the pumpkins on the right until I posted this. Stinkers.

🍃🍃🍃 I thought I’d show you a bit of wha

🍃🍃🍃 I thought I’d show you a bit of what it’s looked like around here as it’s been over a month since I posted in my feed. A few months ago, we found out Ethan had elevated liver enzymes. Fast forward through about a dozen blood draws and a liver biopsy and we have a tentative diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis.

Technically they say they can’t be 100% sure right now because we caught it SO early—a story of divine intervention for another time—that it’s not showing itself on the tests like it usually does by the time they catch it under normal circumstances. But we’ve been able to cross some really scary things off of the list and start treatment. We call it his “chill pill” because it’s meant to make his immune system and liver “chill out, stop fighting, and be friends again.”

AIH is rare—in people in general, in boys, in 5-year olds. But also rare is my son’s strength, bravery, and understanding. He has handled it all like a person well beyond his 5 years—much better than me at some points, though he doesn’t know that last part.

So, while I’ve managed to get fall decor out, it’s mostly looked like this for the last month—lots of crashing, cuddling, talking, and time together.

I’m definitely ready to get back to my IG life and blogging, so stay tuned. I’ve got a lot to show you!

🖼🖼🖼 How would you like 4 bottles of wine,

🖼🖼🖼 How would you like 4 bottles of wine, hand picked by a sommelier (and an algorithm) just for you based on your preferences, delivered right to your door every month without even having to think about it? #sponsoredpost Want 60% off too?! Read on!

Life has been so busy that important things, like date night with the hubby, are forgotten or pushed back. We were supposed to have had it 3 weekends in a row now and something always comes up or we’re just too darn tired to stay up much longer than the kids.

That’s exactly why I am LOVING my new wine subscription box from @brightcellars ! I talked about it on a recent IGTV that I’ll link in my stories again but here are the top 3 reasons I love it:

3. The algorithm is crazy smart! Created by 2 MIT grads, it’s been super accurate. All you do is answer a few questions in their quiz!

Only 1 in 12 wines tasted make it into the Bright Cellars collection and they’re matched to you based on 12 attributes.

2. Plus they send information to learn about wine and the 4 bottles they send you, which makes learning about wine fun and accessible.

And the number 1 reason is the CONVENIENCE! I took a 60-second quiz and now I have 4 perfectly selected bottles of wine delivered to my door every month.

Now, we can have date night or some down time or something special with dinner any time we want. And I don’t have to find the time to go to the store, research the wine, or any of that. LOVE IT!

Check out my stories for a link to get 60% off your first box of wine! You’ll be so happy you did!
