1. Stella Turns ONE & Festive FUN!
This 1st festiveness is pretty much Stella Mae centered. With her first birthday falling during the Christmas season why not, it’s like double the fun!
Her Birthday
Our lil sweet pea turned one last Sunday and of course we celebrated! Look how cute her cake turned out from my friend Paula at Taffy's Treats!
FUN with her, My Mama...
Festive fun for the birthday girl for several days actually. Mom and I took her to the town of Shipshewana.
...and Mr. Nine
Mr. Nine and I went up to Lake Michigan to Light up the Bluff but were disappointed by the lights. Made the most of it if course.
...and My daddy
Made a Road trip down to see my dad on Monday and he got to meet Stella Mae. I only got one photo. Our time was limited in a quick trip down and back and we were enjoying the moments.
I normally don’t mention great things that happen in the influencing world but because I worked my butt off for it, I will. I posted gift guides (so.much.work) like crazy and shared one every day on Instagram for several weeks and won the Gift Guides contest that I didn't even know I was in, lol.

Since I’m pretty much done with my fashion posts of the year, I thought I would show you a couple outfits I wore during a day in the life accessorizing with all Rustic Gem pieces!

Not only are cropped puffer vests like this one in but the Sneaks went viral on TikTok, so good!

Such a sweet celebration for Miss Stella Mae! In my next life I want to come back as your pet - ha!!! we went to a lights event last weekend and were disappointed too, and it was expensive. We made the best of it but what a let down.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the contest, those gift guides are a lot of work, I always start out with good intentions but boy, I fall off the wagon quickly!
Have a wonderful weekend my friend!

You had some great moments this week! I love that you were able to spend quality time with your mom and then your dad. I do that most weeks as well, and with my dad being 91, each time we spend a day together is a gift. He's coming over today, as a matter of fact! Have a great weekend!

I've had that same red sweater from Express in my cart for over a week now... I keep debating about checking out but know I really don't NEED another sweater. It looks like a fun birthday for Stella.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the LTK award. I know it is hard to make progress/get recognition in the influencing world!
