It has been nearly a year since our big move and when I shared my original post, 20 things to do in New Braunfels with your toddler. It sure has been a wild ride!
In honor of our anniversary and the popularity of my original post, I wanted to give y’all an update! Some places have opened, some have shuttered, but more importantly others we have grown to absolutely love – which means real advice on things to do!
Instagram is one of the best social platforms for boutiques and lifestyle brands. You have the opportunity to showcase your products in multiple ways, bring your audience on a journey and connect your personal brand with your customers’ goals and dreams.
There are also a lot of things you can do horribly wrong, and I see these on a daily basis as I engage with brands online. Are you guilty of any of these below?
Being a mom is super rewarding, but it also the most isolating gig I have ever known. When I became a stay at home, I survived on mommy & me activities until I made friends and created a solid circle of mamas to surround myself with.
As women, we are meant to have a solid circle of friends. But for many of us, motherhood or relocation can just kick us in the booty and leave us feeling lonely.
So I wanted to throw together a list of places where you and your babe can go hang out. Because we all deserve a little fun, mama!
Chances are you have a Facebook group (and if you don’t, skip below to my additional tips). There is probably one huge mistake you are making with it right now…
Are you currently capturing emails in your new member screening questions?
You have the opportunity to ask 3 very valuable questions before anyone gains entry, and I highly encourage one of these to be about signing up for your email.
Here are two examples you can copy and paste right into Facebook today…
Hi my name is Lisa and I am addicted to statement earrings. The more unique the better!
But I love a good deal even more…
When I was a young girl, I wasn’t allowed to wear jewelry. Always being a rebel at heart, I would sneakily buy jewelry at Claire’s and put it on as soon as I got to school. I’ve loved jewelry and shoes as far back as I can remember!
So I pulled together some of my favorite earrings from Amazon and online boutiques, all less than $20!
Have you built your personal brand while building your boutique’s brand?
I know for many, the thought of being front-and-center can make you want to pee your pants! So many business owners I know like being the Wizard (of Oz) and make magic behind the curtain.
What if I told you one of the keys to success is building your personal brand?
I haven’t shared a list of my loves since October, so I knew time was due! Originally I wanted to post this monthly, but #life. Funny thing is I had SO MUCH to share because November included birthday gifts, then December with Christmas. But, the benefit of waiting (aka procrastinating) is that I will only share the items I am still loving weeks later!
So, let’s dive in. Today I am sharing my most favorite fashion, beauty and mom products from November to January!
I absolutely love any excuse to buy gifts (it is totally my love language!) so there is no forgetting Valentine’s Day. And while I will gift my hubby something thoughtful, I love including my toddler in gift giving.
Growing up, my parents always gave me a box of chocolate and another small gift. I want to always show my love to Jericho, but without sweets. We are a sugar-free family, after all!
Last year’s gift guide was a big hit-including in our house! This year I wanted to share some of our current top favorite gifts that would be perfect for a Valentine’s Day gift for your 3-year-old. I’ve broken it down my category just for you, mama!
You know that moment you are really sick but the last thing you want to do is go to a doctor’s office?
Yeah, me too. Especially with a toddler. I am convinced if he or I need to go to the doctor, we will both catch something else. I’m just not down with that!
Days after Christmas, Jericho and I both came down with a cough. He got it, then I got it, then he was better, then I, then we both caught it again. I was convinced it was strep….because without meds it can be the gift that keeps on giving.
There are a number of wardrobe and outfit planning apps out there. I used to use an app loyally a couple of years ago, then I lost all the data and they didn’t back it up! So now I have tried many different versions and have found the one that I highly recommend, YourCloset. I am not an affiliate, nor is this sponsored – it is just my favorite option available out there!
You should know I am an android user, so there may be a plethora of options I’m not even aware of. When looking for a wardrobe app (if you want to look around) read the reviews and figure out what is most important to you when selecting the app.
