Gift Guide | For The Kids

I have had a few requests to share a gift guide for the kids.  So today is all about the kids.  I tried to share some toys that we actually own and love and others are on our wish list.  If you want to see my other gift guides so far you can check out my right sidebar, I will keep updating it as I post new gift guides.  

Lego Set 

I just bought this for Sterling.  He is lego obsessed and I love that this had so many different colors in it.  The specific kit ones are fun but after they build whatever it is it's kind of like what now?  Sterling loves to just sit and build things he imagines so this kit is great plus I love the storage box.

They also have this version for the younger kids with bigger legos.  Frances loves the Duplos.  

Stuffed Unicorn

Both my kids love stuffed animals and Frances is unicorn obsessed so this is perfect for her.

Sterling has this cute little unicorn dog and sleeps with it every night.

Barbie Dreamtopia Dolls

We gave Frances these dolls for her birthday with the Utopia Dream house and she loves them.  The dolls are so cute- like I kind of got excited about them.  I like the smaller size of them too. 

This is the Utopia Dream House.  I like it because it is not crazy big to store and Frances plays with it everyday.  I found Amazon had the best pricing for it.  The little dolls above work perfectly with it.

Lite Brite

I gave Sterling this last year and he loves it and still plays it.  I used to love this a kid too.

Tutu Set

Frances Moon is obsessed with dressing up.  This is such a cute set.  Perfect for any girly girl.

Of course you need the matching princess shoes to go with the tutus:)  Frances saw this while I was working and freaked out telling me she needed these!

Art Set

Both Sterling and Frances love to color and do art projects.  I think most kids love an art kit.  This is a great kit, we have tried a few different brands but I always like Crayola the best.  

Coloring Roll

This is perfect to go with the art kit.  We have had a few of these and the kids always love them.  

Mermaid Tail

Both Sterling and Frances love to play dress up.  I think dressing is great because it helps them use their imagination.  This set is super cute and cheap.  

and for the boys this dinosaur one is pretty cute.

Light Up Race Car

This is a really cool toy.  You can make 4 different vehicles and it lights up.  Sterling got this last year for Christmas and still builds with it.

Fold and Go Play House

Frances got this last year for her Birthday and she still loves it.  The quality is great and I love that it comes with the people and furniture included.  It is easy to store as well.

BasketBall Hoop

My brother had one of these growing up.  This one is 40% off right now.  Great for any sports lovers.

Boogie Board

This electronic board is awesome.  Both kids love it.  It is especially great for doctors appointments or dining out when you want to occupy them without watching tv.

Finally I always like to give my kids pajamas for Christmas too.  They get so excited about new ones! 

These Hanna Anderson ones have Frances Moon's name written all over them.  She is princess obsessed and these are the best quality pjs.  Frances just informed me she wants Ariel and Rapunzel. 

Princess Pj's

and for Sterling I love these mustache pjs.

PJ set

Scenes From Our Weekend

Now that it is December I feel like our weekends are filled with lots of fun stuff.  Here is this past weekend's happenings.

Thursday's Outfit.  My cashmere sweater is now 60% off.  Yes I am still wearing flip flops in December,  it has pretty warm in Charleston! 

Sweater | Earrings | Jeans | Flip flops

We had a double playdate at our house Thursday.  I picked the girl's up first and then we went to wait for the boys at the bus stop.  The girls were so excited to see their brothers get off the bus:)

A few of my current favorite cookbooks.  I meant to include these on my post Friday as any of them would make great gifts for the Foodie.  

Host | The Happy Cook | Skinny Taste

Cooking for Jeffery | Its All Easy | Love and Lemons

Malibu Farm | The Forest Feast | Cravings

Foster's Market Favorites | Mexico

Friday we had dinner/ playdate with a few of our best friends.  I made this cheese platter for us moms to enjoy.

I wore this leopard sweater that I bought earlier this week.  

Leopard Sweater

My best gals.

The taught me how to use Snap chat.  We had a bast with all the filters.

Saturday we headed to the Garden and Gun Jubilee.  I had never been before and it was so fun.  We stopped for brunch first at Ms Rose's.  This place was such a gem with a great menu and drinks.

We had mimosa flights and I had the Caprese flatbread and pimento cheese grits for my meal.  The grits were so good!!

What I wore:

Sweater (on sale) | Blouse | Jeans (on sale) | Boots

The Jubilee was split into a few sections.  

This was the wall right when you walked inside.  Super cool to see all the past magazine covers.

There were so many cool vendors where you could shop and eat and drink.  One of my favorites Goat Sheep Cow was there.  They have the best wine and cheese.

They offer golf cart rides to take you to the other outdoor tents.

Sally King Benedict one my favorite artists was there.  I just adore her art.

She did a collaboration with Twine and Twig and the necklaces are gorgeous.

I loved all the flowers at the SYG Designs booth.  She also made some beautiful wreaths. 

The event was so much fun.  I already told my parents they need to plan and come next year!

Sunday poor Sterling woke up screaming that his ear hurt so we headed to urgent care and he had an ear infection.  Crazy thing is he has never had an ear infection before.  We laid low during the day during so he could rest.  

I picked up some fresh flowers when we got his medicine.  Christmas cards from friends are starting to roll in and it makes me so happy!

Two favorites currently on sale:

This white blouse is now on sale plus extra 40% off!

White Lace Blouse

This poncho has been a great find.  It is so easy to toss on over anything.  It looks cute with leggings and jeans and it is 40% today making it under $50.

Poncho

I made crispy prosciutto wrapped asparagus for dinner.  Sterling had been wanting me to make this and it was so simple and tasty!

Happy Monday.
