The idea came to me in a dream — no but really, I was just wide awake at 3 in the morning trying to figure out how to make my emails more beneficial. And it hit me. Links to things I find useful, an xoplaytime activity from the week and an Xo Parenting recap from this podcast. BAM! I hope this benefits at least one of you.

I am actually not an affiliate for ANY of these companies. So this is just sharing some authentic, good finds! ENJOY!

Steam Mop: I have been raving about this steam mop… and it’s actually got some sort of magic in it that makes me WANT to mop my floor. It’s LESS than $100 and does a phenomenal job.

Reagan and Kate Bows: I found these cute things at Vintage Market Days here in Northern Utah, and bought seven different varieties. They are so well made and adorable. Go go go!

Glorybelles 14k gold filled kid/adult bracelets: We have one for every stage of life newborn to 3T, plus matching ones from Mama. I’m absolutely obsessed and can’t wait for Maelie and her sister to match with me.

Wildbird: This comes to $47 in the cart! UNHEARD OF snag on an adorable wild bird sling. I can’t wait.

MHopShop Polymer Clay Earrings: I bought these and have been OBSESSED. Also have gotten so many compliments every time I wear there. I have a nickel allergy and am REALLY sensitive to jewelry — like I can’t even wear my original wedding ring. These don’t cause a reaction! So YAY.

Smackerel: If you are ANYWHERE close to Cache Valley, do yourself a favor and become familiar with Smackerel. I bought and consumed 4 of her caramel apples this week. :O They are amazing. She also does event cakes and the most beautiful, gourmet desserts.

Behavior Assessment (ages 1.5-12): Come here for a research-based behavior assessment. Learn where your child falls on a behavior scale compared to other children in this age group. You will get results for aggression, emotionally reactive, anxiety, body complaints, withdrawal, sleep problems and attention problems.

Lauren will take the information from the assessment, combined with any additional comments or concerns you have to come up with an action plan to understand your child’s behavior, prevent challenges and support them with the skills they need to move forward.

That’s all for now!
