Dollar spot DIY!

When I saw these chalkboard signs in the target dollar spot this week, I knew we needed to make something fun with them

Perfect for a vday craft that can be used all year.

Check out our “crafting” highlight on IG stories for how we created these. Also check out our Amazon “Crafting List” for links to the blush INSTAX camera, the photo clips and another version of the chalkboard hearts.

Hope you have fun creating your photo displays!

L-O-V-E baskets 💕

I was inspired by some of my favorite accounts to create a basket of vday themed goodies for each of my little loves this year💓

I did two types — a girly and more personalized version for Sloane where I went all out and included some really special Etsy shops and small businesses 🎀

The items in Miles basket are all from easy-to-find spots —Target and Home Goods. It follows a simple formula… candy, a stuffed animal, a themed book and a vessel to put it all in 💕

I will share all of the items in the baskets later on our Instagram along with some of the other baskets I was inspired by from special mamas and crafters in this space💓

1. Ecobee Smart Home System – For those looking for some smart home upgrades this year, gift ecobee Haven Home Security. It’s a smart home monitoring system designed to keep you connected whenever you need. One of my favorite things is that it is smart enough to know who’s at home, and who is away. I don’t have to worry about anyone accidentally setting off the alarm or forgetting to turn it on as they head out the door.  And if I want to check in on my home or on my kids, then the ecobee SmartCamera lets me see what’s happening live. From November 19 to December 1, ecobee Haven Home Security is on sale for $199. It includes a SmartCamera + 2x SmartSensors for doors and windsor + 2x SmartSensors for indoor motion detection. 

2.  Omaha Steaks Tasteful Gift Package – I love giving the gift of experiences. Whether you’re gathering in-person or celebrating virtually, Omaha Steaks is dedicated to delivering experiences that bring people together, and this year is no exception. They offer full meal packages and gifts that are delicious, easy to prepare and delivered right to your doorstep – or someone else’s! Their Tasteful Gift Package features their new Butcher’s Cut Top Sirloins. Visit OmahaSteaks.com or visit one of their 50+ retail stores across the country. 

3. Audio Technica ATH – CK3TW Wireless-In Ear Headphones  – Tech is always a hot gift for the holidays. These ATH-CK3TW truly wireless in-ear headphones have an ultra-compact design, and are ready to go whenever and wherever you are, empowering you to “explore and connect.” The really cool thing about these is that they automatically power on and off when they’re taken in and out of the charging case. Also, they can detect when you take them out of your ears and automatically pause the audio. When you put them back in your ears they start playing again – so you never miss a beat!

4. Facebook’s BuyBlack Friday Gift Guide– I have found several unique gifts for this holiday season from Facebook’s BuyBlack Friday Gift Guide that are perfect for anyone on your list. If you have someone that loves skincare items, I suggest the Turmeric Botanical Bar available at Redoux NYC. It’s good for all skin types and contains vegan and all-natural ingredients. Or try a Love Jones Candle, a vegan, soy candle with notes of apples, sandalwood and amber available at Maryland based Freres Branchiaux. There’s also these gorgeous St. Margaret Tassel Earrings from The Tiny Tassel in South Carolina. What’s great, is that all of these shops are black-owned small businesses that are a part of Facebook’s BuyBlack Friday campaign to bring awareness and support to black-owned businesses. 

Let us know what you are shopping this Black Friday!
