Rainbow Themed Gift Basket

3.01.2020

Rainbows are all the rage these days, and because I’m not that cool anymore (okay I never was), I had to jump right on the bandwagon. Maybe it’ll give me a few ‘cool’ points with my daughter. I’ve gotta add them all up now before she won’t be seen with me any longer. Those days are really far off right?

Because it’s St. Patrick’s Day soon, I thought a St. Patrick’s Day Rainbow themed basket would be fun. I added in a few shamrocks here and there to give it the overall St. Paddy’s Day vibe, but really wanted to run on the rainbow theme.

As if I didn’t have enough on my plate, I also decided to do a balloon garland with balloons and gold fans from The Party Darling. It actually didn’t take too long and it was worth it for this cheese face. But next time I’m enlisting the help of my friends. So if you’re one of the lucky, prepare yourself.

Overall, I pretty much think I’m winning at the mom game (for St. Patrick’s Day at least). I mean, this little girl is one lucky duck. But don’t try to tell her that, all she wants is treats. This is the face of someone waiting on her fruit snacks. I’m not the only one who bribes my kid to take a photo am I?

In case you wanna win at the mom game like I do, or hey maybe just for the fun of it, here’s a list of everything that I included in my rainbow themed basket. I can’t wait to see her open everything, and I’m sure she’ll still be asking me for fruit snacks.

  1. Yoobi – 4pk Good Vibes Puffy Stickers, Rainbow Coinpurse Keychain, Good Vibes Mini Spiral Notepad, 5pk Fine Tip Neon Markers, 12pk Double Sided Washable Stamp Markers, 60pk Multi-Color Sidewalk Chalk
  2. Twenty-Eight Twelve – Rainbow Felt Ball Garland
  3. I Love Plum – Watercolor Girl’s Tutu
  4. Frost Your Cookie – Rainbow & Shamrock St. Paddy’s Cookie Pops
  5. Trendy Andy Designs – Rainbow Macrame Wall Decor
  6. Mimi & Lei – Rainbow Yarn Tassel
  7. Tele Ties – Small Rainbow Hair Ties
  8. Native Shoes – Kid’s Jefferson Bling
  9. Sun Jellies – Mint Atomic Tote
  10. The Wishing Elephant – Mint Happy Go Lucky T-shirt
  11. Moon & Stone – Quartz Rainbow Bracelet
  12. The Party Darling – Ivory and Gold Paper Party Fans, Ice Cream Mini Balloons

When I became a stay at home mom, I thought it wou When I became a stay at home mom, I thought it would only be for a year at most. But as it turned out, I was lucky to be able to make it last as long as it has. What no one ever tells you though about becoming a SAHM, is that your whole identity can get wrapped up in being a mom. And for some women, that’s not a good thing. But for me, it’s a phenomenal thing. It’s an incredible time in my life that I wouldn’t trade for anything. That doesn’t mean I’m not exhausted or irritated at all, it just means I’ll take all of the negatives because the positive completely outweighs it for me. 

This should go without saying, that if you AREN’T satisfied with just being a mom, that’s okay too. For some women, having something else that is THEIRS makes them a better mom. And more power to you!

Back when I was growing up (wayyyyyyy back then), Back when I was growing up (wayyyyyyy back then), it seemed like most people grew up around their extended families. By the time I was in my twenties, it just seemed more likely that you’d be living away from your home towns, starting your own life. But what we didn’t realize was what that meant down the road, when we would start our own families. That our village wouldn’t be made of our family, but instead close friends. The only problem with that, is that most other young parents are working to support themselves, thus aren’t always available to be your village. It can be hard to ask a friend for help when you know she’s simultaneously drowning in her own house. 

So if it “takes a village,” but you’re doing it on your own, I see you. It’s HARD, and it is exhausting. But one day we will be on the other side of these days, telling our babies that it takes a village. And hopefully, we will be right down the road to help them. 🩵

After having my first daughter, I felt like I knew After having my first daughter, I felt like I knew a lot about parenting. I had it down, we had a routine and a schedule and she was pretty easy to handle. Then we had a second. And I realized that everything I THOUGHT I knew about parenting was a lie. I wasn’t a pro at “parenting,” I was a pro at parenting HER. Now I do everything I can not to laugh when a mom of only one child talks like I did. I get it, we’ve been there too, and I’m not judging. But the more kids you add in, the more experience you get as a parent. Because every personality is SO different, that the way you parent one isn’t always the same as the way you parent the others. 

Thoughts?
When I heard this audio, I instantly loved it. It’s such a crazy thing to see in nature, that God is showing us just how stressful and depleting being a new mama can be. 

So if you’re in the thick of it mama, just know you’ll get your pink back soon.

I don’t think we talk enough about how great it I don’t think we talk enough about how great it feels when your child feels safe with someone else. It may be a family member or a best friend, but it’s such a good feeling to know they have another rock in their life.
