FRIDAY FAVORITES....WE FESTIVE

Delightful December. A little stressful at times, making all the magic happen, but trying to immerse myself in sweet little moments. This is my last Friday favorites of the year, but I will be back next week with two fabulous blog posts that you don’t want to miss.

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.


..only other cute thing we saw there...Frosty.


...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.


2. cabi Clothing Love
And she joined me for a cabi photo shoot and cute Reels. 
Check that video out HERE 
This Wrap Up Puffer is one of my favorite cabi pieces and LOVE the Quantum Cargos ....so comfy! 


I also attended a Virtual cabi Clothing show yesterday..in the comfort of your own home, so nice!


3. LTK Winner

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.

4. Rustic Gem Beauties

As you know, I am happy to collaborate with my beautiful friends at Rustic Gem jewelry, the California based business, creating the most beautiful, homemade jewelry with high fashion in mind and inspiration from those California foothills. 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!

  1. 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.
    Congrats 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!

  2. 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!

  11. 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.
