Scenes From Our Weekend

Can I just say it is amazing what a weekend with good sunny weather does for the soul.  All the rain and cold here was putting me in a serious funk.  I feel rejuvenated!  

We had such a great weekend.

My parents were down here for the food and wine festival so I got to spend some time with them which I always love.

Sterling loves his Big Poppie!

My mom brought a bottle of the most delish Chardonnay- I really recommend it!

Friday night we ordered pizza- we really do this every Friday.  This week we tried out a new pizza, The BLT Pizza.  It was sooo good!  Locals it was from Pasianos our favorite pizza place on James Island.

Frances and Sterling have been so sweet together lately.  Melts my heart.

Saturday the weather was so awesome I took the kids for a picnic at Normandy Farms.  Sterling is like,  really mom I am trying to eat put the camera down.

Freshly Picked- The Cutest Moccasins + Giveaway

Happy Friday Friends.   Thank goodness for the weekend!!

I am so excited because I have an awesome giveaway for you today.  I am sure most of you have heard of Freshly Picked Moccasins (only the best moccasins around)- they were just featured on ABC's Shark Tank.  Well today I am teaming up with the Freshly Picked team and giving away one free pair of moccasins for your kid!

Sterling and Frances are huge fans.  I mean I can't get over how cute these little moccasins are.

I love this pic of Sterling helping Frances put her moccasins back on.

I have to admit I was first drawn to them for Frances- the blush ones melted my heart. 

But when I found out they came in bigger kids sizes I was equally as excited.  Sterling adores his.  He says they are so comfy and he always wants to wear them! Added bonus they have elastic on the sides so they are easy for your kids to get on and off themselves.

They are made of the softest most luscious leather and come in the cutest bags!  

If you decide to order a pair use their size chart on their webpage and measure your kids feet because the sizes differ from regular sizes- for those curious Frances is in a size one and Sterling in a size 8 and both have room to grow.

I had a seriously hard time deciding what color to choose for Sterling and Frances.  I love them all.  You can view and shop all the colors here.

If you want to win a pair of Freshly Picked Moccasins just follow the two steps below! I will annouce the winner Tuesday!

Good Luck!!

Shredded Kale Salad + Cayenne Balsamic Dressing

In my quest to make as many Kale Salads as I can, this is my new favorite.  The combination of the crispy prosciutto and hard boil eggs is so good with the Kale.  Add in some sharp cheddar cheese and a spicy vinaigrette and you have a kick ass salad. Something to note this salad does not save as well as others because the prosciutto gets soggy it is really best crispy so just add only what you need and save the rest to sprinkle the next day. An all around awesome salad, trust me!

Enjoy!

|| S H R E D D E D  K A L E  S A L A D + C A Y E N N E  B A L S A M I C  D R E S S I N G ||

- 1 Bunch kale, washed, destemmed and cut into thin strips

- 8 pieces prosciutto

- 4 hard boiled eggs

- 1 cup shredded sharp white cheddar cheese (I use Cabot or Crackel Barrell)

- 1/4 cup olive oil

- 1 garlic clove minced

- 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (more if you like spicier)

- salt and pepper to taste

Preheat Oven to 350 degrees and lay prosciutto pieces on baking sheet.  Bake about 10 mins until crispy.  Set aside.  Place Kale, eggs, and cheese in large bowl.  Whisk together olive oil and next 5 ingredients for dressings.  Pour dressing over salad.  Crumble Prosciutto and add last so it doesn't get too soggy.

NDM Style: Lily Jade

Happy Humpday peeps. I will be back with a recipe tomorrow,  coming at you with a new outfit post today.  This is a record, I have done an outfit post at least once a week.  I can't give Matt credit for all my pictures though my girl Caycee helped me out with these. We had good intentions of taking pictures outside, but then old man winter showed up again and it was way too cold to be outside so they are inside (and excuse the hair I haven't been into washing it lately). But dirty hair or not this is one of my favorite outfits as of lately.

Rag and Bone Giada Tee | MOTHER The Looker Skinny Jeans | Chinese Laundry Easy Does it D'Orsay Flats | Lily Jade Caroline Diaper Bag c/o

I am wearing the Rag and Bone Long Sleeve Giada Tee- I have worn it 4 times the past week, I am sure Matt is sick of it.  It is great with jeans, work out pants,  you name it.  It is made of the softest cotton and feels amazing on.  It runs on the large side.  I am wearing a small and might could have fit in an XS but I prefer my tops loose and slouchy (helps hid the muffin top).  So order accordingly.

Rag and Bone Giada Long Sleeve Tee

The people at Lily Jade were sweet enough to send me this purse.  It is actually a Diaper Bag but it looks like a regular purse, right??  I was sold immediately.  I am not a fan of traditional diaper bags but one that looks like a real purse with all the conveniences of a diaper bag- sign me up!  It is made of the softest, most gorgeous leather.   I love that you can carry it as a Cross Body or with the handles.  When I have both kids with me I find a Cross Body is so much easier because it frees up your hands to deal with unruly kids:)

The purse also comes in black and red.  I almost got the black but loved the cognac color too much and thought it would be better for Spring.  It is on the pricey side- retails for $320 but it is currently on sale for $250!  Not a bad price considering the longevity of the bag.  I see myself carrying this for awhile!

Lily Jade Caroline Diaper Bag

The inside of the purse is what I love most.  From the outside it looks like a chic purse but open it up and it has pockets and compartments for all your baby stuff!  It even comes with a changing mat for your baby.   Pure genius right?   Sterling gets a few pockets, Frances gets a few pockets and I get the middle for my stuff!  The baby organizer part is detachable so when your kids are older you can pull it out and just have an open regular purse.

Such a sleek Diaper Bag, right??

While I was pregnant I ordered these MOTHER jeans during a Shopbop sale, having no idea if they would fit or if I would like them but I had heard nothing but amazing things abut them.  Turns out I freaking love them and best part they run big so you can wear one size down from what you normally do.  Its the little things that make me happy.  They have lots of stretch and are super comfy.  A great pair of jeans.

Shoes are the Chinese Laundry D'Orsay Flats.  They are cheap, comfortable and overall awesome.  I have two pairs of them, love them that much!

They go with everything!
