Santa Nutcracker Stacking Mugs, Santa Nutcracker Cookie Plate, Els Stockings Entrance Mat, Happy Holidays Wreath

Hello there friends,

Happy holidays to you! We are so excited for our most favorite time of year over here at the Swiss household. This year, I decided to start some new traditions by adding some beautiful MacKenzie-Childs pieces to our home and Christmas decor. I wanted something timeless and special to bring out every year that the kids could get excited for. So, here are some of my new favorites!

First off, we have the Santa Nutcracker Stacking Mugs (set 0f 4) and the Santa Nutcracker Cookie Plate. We love making and decorating cookies this time of year, so these pieces were the perfect extra touch we ended. I’m most excited to have these mugs and this plate as something the kids will get excited about seeing pop out year after year. I can’t wait to make memories from some fun family time and have this become a precious childhood memory for them and all of us.

Next we have the Elf Stockings Entrance Mat. Every time I see this mat at our front door it brings a smile to my face haha. I hope to have our friends and family feel the same joy as they enter our home and enter into our little wonderland. And last but not least, we have the Happy Holidays Wreath. This piece is what I was most excited for! It’s simply magical and stunning to look at. I wanted to add a little something special to our holiday decor this year and this wreath was the perfect thing. It’s like a quaint little one house Christmas village cozying up our living room.

Recently, I attended a virtual event with MacKenzie-Childs and fell absolutely in love with the company. What makes MacKenzie-Child’s special isn’t only their beautiful, hand painted, and unique pieces. It’s what the company stands for. They create all these products to help bring our families together by how we use them in our daily lives. By using them to make memories and to have these pieces to pass down through generations.

And that’s all for now… I plan to add even more MacKenzie-Childs decor to our home because I was so impressed with the quality of everything. I mean, literally everything I got is better then I expected in real life. The pictures only don’t do them justice. For now, I hope you all have a great time shopping for some memorable pieces for your own home and family. Thank you for reading!!

Oral-B Power Toothbrush

ORAL-B Power Toothbrush

Hello Friends!

How are all my babes doing? I know it’s been a hot minute since I have been on here but I just had to share this amazing Oral-B power toothbrush with you all haha. Ok, so first off it was so entertaining that Aiden wanted one of his own… plus he would just stare at me with “what the heck is that?” Look on his face the whole time I was using it lol. I wish I had videod it!

Second, I was super curious to see what the fuss about this toothbrush was all about. It’s one of a five series Oral-B power toothbrushes and they are the only power toothbrushes that have gotten the ADA (American Dental Association) seal of acceptance. So you know they’re legit!

I’m a HUGE advocate for good dental hygiene. I love the feeling of when you come out of the dentist with fresh, sparkling teeth! And what I love the most about this toothbrush is that it not only makes me feel like I’m always as clean as I am when I leave the dentist, but it’s so thorough that it cleans my wisdom teeth (that I still need to get removed lol)! I’m honestly amazed and completely obsessed!

I officially can never ever go back to a regular toothbrush ever again haha… plus their travel case makes it super conveinient to take anywhere I go.

Go try one out for yourself… your teeth will thank me later 😉

xoxo,

Becca

Hello Friends,

This post comes a bit late since it’s been almost 3 weeks since this gorgeous wedding. My bestie Mekenna (also, Aiden’s Godmother) got married to the man of her dreams on this gorgeous lake. The day went perfectly and we met so many amazing people that weekend!! I miss everyone so much already haha! Most of all I loved enojoying the time with Dan. Every wedding makes me remember our special day and honestly it feels like it was yesterday. I love him and our little family so much! Some times we are so preoccupied with our to-do’s and wants and needs in life that we forget to stop and enjoy what we already have. We forget to see what’s right in front of us… and for me, it’s my two main men and my little Lady (not pictured). I literally could not live without them.

Well I hope you all enjoy the pics and thank you for stopping by!

xoxo,

Becca

Hello Loves!

It’s Christmas week and with all the craziness going on with all the parties and family get togethers, we get overwhelmed with things we have yet to do before Christmas Eve! Well, here are some helpful gift tips for family members or even yourself.

H&M has the best deals going on right now! They have items starting at $5! Check out some of my favorites below. Also, I take forever to get completely ready with my hair and make-up and H2 Blow Dry Bar has been a lifesaver. My biggest tip for this week is to take one less thing off your list and treat yourself to getting your hair and make-up done for you 🙂 . And last but not least, these mom moccasin’s are a MUST! Seriously, they are one of the most comfortable shoes I own and I would live in them if I could. Plus I love matching my little guy!

I hope these tips help you solve some of your last minute to-do’s so you can relax and enjoy those loved family members and friends! Thanks for stopping by!

Becca

p.s. My friend Mei’li is the gorgeous mommy pictured with me… She’s expecting her second little (a boy!) and we just can’t wait to meet him! You can follow her on instagram (@missesmeili)

I hope all of your Holiday preparations are going smoothly! For me, it’s been a very busy season so I’m running late on everything haha. I still need to finish Christmas shopping, wrapping gifts, and sending out cards. Let’s hope I can get it done before the New Year… haha jk. Well, I hope you enjoy these fun pictures from last year! Believe it or not but, all four of us are in the pictures ( I found out the night before these that I was pregnant!).

Thanks for stopping by and Merry Christmas!

Hello Lovelies!

Now that Halloween is over, we are all overly excited about the upcoming holiday season here in the Swiss home. However, I’m very sad to say good bye to fall. Earlier this week we decided to take advantage of this delicious fall weather before it got too cold to enjoy it. We had some laughs and took in the colored leaves while we took a short walk around my favorite neighborhood.

Hope your fall season has been full of coziness and pumpkin! Thanks For stopping by!
