Happy New Year Savvy Mommas!!!!!  I have been neglecting this page more than I ever imagined I would.  Not because I wanted to or because I didn’t care.  I have been so busy this holiday season with 2 little ones holiday activities, a pregnancy that has me sick all the time and a fundraiser I am co-chairing that has become a full time job.  That being said…one of my priorities for 2011 is to be consistent about posting more regular activities, cool shops, yummy restaurants to try and places to entertain your family.

2011 is going to be a GREAT  year!  I can just feel it!!!  Please feel free to email me with any awesome information, places to try out and things to do to entertain your kiddos so I can let all other Savvy Mommas know too!  We are all a wealth of knowledge.  Just takes a few of us to type this stuff up and share with others. 

Happy New Year!!  Let’s make 2011 Great!

Give Back

Today I was able to do something completely out of my normal routine and I am so thankful I took the time to do it!  Our lives are so busy chasing kids, feeding our families, making time for friends.  Sometimes we get stuck into our routine and don’t think about spending 1 day of our week/month helping someone else that we might not even know.  Our lives usually consist of helping our families and friends…and that is great!  But, God calls us to serve others and be a shining light so that people may see we are living with a greater purpose.  We are living to glorify God in all that we do.

I volunteered my time today to help with a military wives event that was going on in town.  An agency put together a day of pamper for a group of 25 woman.  They got to shop at Ross and get a whole new outfit (cocktail attire) and then were headed off to have their hair, makeup, photo shoots and a fancy dinner.  These wives make many sacrifices for our country and their families.  I got to help all of the women find the perfect outfit for their event tonight and I think I had more fun than them!!  They were all so excited about having someone help them feel beautiful and just have a fun time shopping.  The experience was rewarding getting to see their smiles light up and know that they had a special night ahead.  They were getting to send their photo shoot of their new outfit and hair and makeup to their husbands overseas.  The event was fun for everyone.

It made me realize that sometimes I need to take time for others besides my own family and friends.  So many people in this world need to feel appreciated, loved, accepted, beautiful and special.  The event was a blast and it just got me thinking…we should all find something to be a part of  (even if it’s for 1 time) that benefits someone besides ourselves and our circle.  I know the military wives event was fun for these woman but it was fun for me too.  What a blessing to serve others and see God blessing everyone involved!  Find a local charity in your area to volunteer for an event soon!  You won’t regret your time you spent helping others.

Wild Olive Tees

Friday, August 27th, 2010

 

I cannot take credit for finding these precious t-shirts but a friend of mine always has on the cutest tees with the sweetest sayings.  She posted her favorite web site this morning on facebook and I couldn’t wait to take a look.  Now I know where she gets all of her precious tees!!  http://wildolivetees.com is the place to go!  They sell women’s classic and fitted tees and children’s tees.  All of them are wonderfully made with cute designs and sweet scripture or parts of a bible verse.  These are also a great idea to get your friend for a birthday gift.  Something they won’t find locally and not everyone will be wearing them.  Get your verse on…literally!  Read it, wear it and share the word of God!

Putting a Twyst on Beauty

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

After having my hair cut at the same salon for the last 4 years, I decided it was time to branch out and try somewhere new.  A friend of mine always has the best hair cuts and color so I called her to find out where she was going.  I owe her a big “thank you” because this morning I had the pleasure of being pampered at Twyst and spent half of what I was spending at the other salon I was going to.

Kelly Waclawczyk and Marissa Alexander are the owners of Twyst, which is located at The Oasis Salon Suites & Spa.  1826 N. Loop 1604 W, studio 37.  Kelly specializes in hair and Marissa does hair and is also a make up artist.  I love my hair cut, the products they used on my hair and was able to get waxed there too!  They do it all for a fraction of the price you might be spending at your current salon and the atmosphere was just perfect.

Contact them today to schedule your appointment at 210-493-2221.  You will soon find a new hair stylist that does it even better than where you are going today!  http://twystsa.com

Great party favor idea!

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

I took my kids to a birthday party last week and was so impressed with the party favor.  I just had to share with all of you and give props to my friend Sara for coming up with this.  My kids each got a $5 Gift Certificate to Barnes and Noble Bookstore.  The girls card has Fancy Nancy on it and the boys had pirates.  I just loved the idea of giving something the kids could actually use to pick out what they wanted, it gave me an outing to take them to the bookstore and encourages reading and the value of money.  Clearly, most books cost more than $5 so it helped my kids understand the value of what they had been given as a gift as well as what money we used to put towards the book they had chosen.  This didn’t take much effort on Sara’s part in regards to having to make special gifts for each kid either.  I am so appreciative of her generous party favor and thankful that we have discovered a new place to have an outing…the bookstore!  My kids love Barnes and Noble now!

You could probably do this at your local book store too!  Thanks Sara for inspiring me to be more creative with the gifts I give kids rather than just another bottle of bubbles:)
