Patriotic Sibling Style

Happy Monday, friends! I hope all you ladies had a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend, which started off the summer holiday season. In just a few short weeks, pools will be opening and family beach trips will be taking place. Hello Ellie Shop has some amazing red, white & blue outfits for your kiddos to wear this Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day. I absolutely love her fun patterns and cotton blends. The clothes are a very lightweight cotton and so soft. Also, each piece is under $20! If you’re having a baby boy, I would pair this adorable Americana onesie with the harem shorts. Whether you have boys, girls or one of each, there is definitely something for all! Besides, the holidays just aren’t complete without dressing your kids in coordinating attire 🙂

Look at this little ham of mine. He loves being silly lately when I take his picture. All I have to say is “Henry, DON’T smile” and he starts giggling and smiling like crazy. Now if I could only get his little sister to do the same. I forget that around the 16th month age my kids stop smiling and it lasts until about two. Great.

Henry’s tank is from Gap last year and I am pretty stoked that it still fits him. I usually buy a full size bigger than his current age and shirts and tanks last him well over a year. He is still 3 years old but has been wearing a 4t since his last birthday. You know my love for knee high baby socks so I had to pair some with this skirt. They definitely add a girly touch when your daughter is wearing Converse to match her brother!

Mother’s Day Gifts Under $40

Mother’s Day is this Sunday and while it has probably snuck up on everyone, there is still time to get something Mom will love. Anthropologie always has the best gifts for wives, mothers and girlfriends. If you have a lady in your life, there’s a good chance you can find something for her there. Everything in their store is feminine, romantic and beautifully created. All items below can be found in store to meet your last minute gift needs. My favorite is the gold monogram necklace. Such a great gift with a spouse or child’s initial. The necklaces can be worn stacked if you have multiple children (or multiple spouses 🙂 The classic smell of the Capri Blue candle is an instant mood booster and I have them burning all day long. From coffee mugs, makeup bags, lipstick and jewelry there is sure to be something for Mom. I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday filled with mimosas, Netflix and plenty of relaxation. xo!  *This post is NOT sponsored by Anthropologie* buy elavil online https://salempregnancy.org/wp-content/languages/new/buynoprescription/elavil-no-prescription.html no prescription

Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Atlanta

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to take a break from my real life and escape to The Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Atlanta. For Christmas, my husband surprised me with a spa gift card to their spa and he decided it would be a great little getaway for me to use around Mother’s Day. The Mandarin Oriental definitely lives up to its 5 star reviews. From the moment I pulled up until I drove off, my stay was nothing short of wonderful. The staff and concierge were so helpful, friendly and attentive. All the guest rooms are non smoking which is such a bonus because I cannot stand the smell of cigarette smoke. Check in was a breeze, guest services was on top of everything and valet had my car up before I finished checking out. buy lipitor online https://salempregnancy.org/wp-content/languages/new/buynoprescription/lipitor-no-prescription.html no prescription

The hotel is in a prime location across from Lenox Square and close to several restaurants and nightlife.  Even though it’s located in a busy area, it’s tucked away just enough to prevent street noise. My spacious room was on the sixth floor and I was lucky enough to stay in a king terrace room which had it’s own private balcony over looking Buckhead. It was beautiful and clean and had been well maintained (no chipped painted, spots on carpet, smells etc). The deep soaking tub was my favorite. I can’t tell you how long it had been since I’ve been able to enjoy a bath without toys floating everywhere. buy paxil online https://salempregnancy.org/wp-content/languages/new/buynoprescription/paxil-no-prescription.html no prescription

 

 

 

 

After checking in for my spa appointments, I was treated to some amazing hot peach tea and warm towels for my hands. I was then introduced to the spa grounds by a very helpful member of the spa staff. She showed me to the locker room where I had a robe and private locker for my belongings. For my three spa treatments I chose a massage, pedicure and facial. It was my first time having a hot aroma stone massage, which was 50 minutes long. In the past I was always hesitant because I thought the stones would be too hot but this wasn’t the case. The massage therapist was definitely skilled in her training and worked out a lot to tension I had in my shoulders and limbs. This relaxing massage uses heated stones to generate energy and create a sense of balance and calm, as well as, giving relief to deep-seated muscle tension.*{source} The dim lighting, calming sounds and smells create a tranquil atmosphere and allows you to achieve the ultimate level of relaxation. Next up was my essential facial which was nothing short of amazing. My skin felt so soft, wonderful and clean afterwards. buy priligy online https://salempregnancy.org/wp-content/languages/new/buynoprescription/priligy-no-prescription.html no prescription

 

 

 

 

I finished my appointments with the nourishing pedicure, which is completely waterless. Something I had never heard of but makes total sense. Without a tub filled with water there is less to clean and disinfect making the process more sanitary for the client (the technician wrapped my feet in hot towels instead). I didn’t think a waterless pedicure could produce smooth results since I’m on my feet a lot but it was better than any regular pedicure with water that I’ve ever had. It’ll be hard to go back to one that uses water after experiencing this. After the spa services I came back to my room feeling so relaxed and rejuvenated. Upon my return, I was greeted with some macaroons and a very sweet note from the hotel. It was such a nice surprise because I was starving and they were so good.

 

 

After almost three hours I spent in the spa, I was craving room service and lying in bed without “mommy” being yelled 100 times per minute. To be expected, everything on the menu looked outstanding. I chose the Signature Burger: 8 oz Angus Beef, St. Andre Cheese, Avocado, Applewood Smoked Bacon, Tomato, Frisée and House Dressing on a Honey Wheat Bun with their house made potato chips. It was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. I ended the night with some cheesecake because why not?

 

 

 

The spa and wellness center is available for hotel guests between 5:30am-9:30pm. After waking up feeling refreshed and energized I headed to the steam room to do even more relaxing. I am kicking myself for not bringing my swimsuit because their 60 foot saline lap pool is nothing short of amazing. No hotel stay would be complete without breakfast in bed. In true Chanel fashion, I went all out. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and I could eat it for every meal. Everything on their menu looked mouth watering. I decided on the french toast, bacon, cheese grits, poached eggs, an english muffin, coffee and orange juice. Just like with dinner, everything was perfect and so tasty.

 

 

 

It was so nice to sleep without the sound of a baby monitor next to my ear. I woke up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. It is amazing what one night of uninterrupted sleep and no kids and responsibility can do for you. If you are a husband looking for a last minute Mother’s Day gift for your wife, surprise her with an overnight stay at a local hotel. If there’s a spa that’s a bonus, but I’m sure any mother would love a night alone and a chance to sleep in, relax and temporarily escape from her responsibilities. For my Atlanta readers, the Mandarin Oriental is hosting a beautiful brunch for Mother’s Day this Sunday from 11:30am – 3pm. The brunch will feature appetizers and desserts and guests will also choose an entree. There will also be a pop-up flower shop in their amazing gardens. Priced at $90 per adult and $35 per child aged 5-12 (plus tax and gratuity). They’ve also recently launched a family package which includes a one-night stay in a two-bedroom family room with tickets to Legoland and The Children’s Museum of Atlanta along with a few goodies. This is ideal for families who live in the South and are thinking about coming to Atlanta for some family fun.Thank you Mandarin Oriental for such a wonderful visit. I will definitely be returning and next time bringing my husband so we can enjoy a night out on the town.

Floral Fever

I couldn’t think of a more fitting outfit for this post today since we are now officially in May. April showers bring May flowers, right? This floral romper and dress from Love Girls Dress are some of my favorite pieces for Evelyn to wear lately. I love pairing the romper with a chambray button up for chilly mornings and sneakers for a playdate. The fabric is airy and breathable, making it perfect for those upcoming Atlanta summers. The halter and ruffle add just the right amount of girly-ness. I will definitely be bringing this to the beach with us this summer! buy remeron online https://salempregnancy.org/wp-content/languages/new/buynoprescription/remeron-no-prescription.html no prescription
This dress comes with the sweetest matching bow on a nylon headband. I paired with some pink bloomers and clear jellies. The material is very lightweight, making it almost like a second skin for babies and it’s perfect for holidays, church and parties. I hate dressing my kids in heavy cotton during the summer months and these clothes have been the perfect alternative to that if you’re looking for something more weightless. buy sinequan online https://salempregnancy.org/wp-content/languages/new/buynoprescription/sinequan-no-prescription.html no prescription
How cute is this pom pom romper, lace chambray romper and floral bloomers? Everything from Love Girls Dress is a must have if you’re looking for stylish and feminine clothes for your little lady. Another bonus, almost all of their rompers, dresses and bloomers are under $40 which is a total win in my book. Be sure to check them out and let me know which pieces are your favorite.
Happy Monday!

Happy Friday, friends! In lieu of my Friday favorites, today I am bringing you hard working mama’s some wonderful items to win for YOURSELF. Mother’s have the hardest and most important job in the world so it’s time to celebrate you with some amazing loot.

I’ve never been a huge fan of cooking, especially after taking care of the kids all day, but these hand painted bamboo kitchen utensils make me want to cook. It’s like getting a new outfit for the gym except you get to eat! There is a beautiful half painted gold jewelry dish, ideal for small trinkets, rings or earrings. At 3″ in diameter this is perfect for your nightstand table or bathroom. Plus, everything always looks better on a pretty dish. Even your wedding rings which probably haven’t been polished since the day they were purchased (or is that just me?) Next up is this beautiful gold leather key chain. Throw out the one with your college mascot and upgrade to this stat. buy zithromax online https://salempregnancy.org/wp-content/languages/new/buynoprescription/zithromax-no-prescription.html no prescription

A grey chambray eye mask for when you really need a break from the kids, work or your husband 🙂 Two rose bath bombs, pistachio macaroon whipped soap and a hand-poured soy candle to go with your bottle of wine and soak. If baths aren’t your thing, not to worry. There is also a wine glass holder for your shower. Yes, these really do exist and there is one included in this prize. Can I get an amen? Since wine is really only acceptable after 4pm, fill up on coffee the rest of the day with this adorable mug. And because I know how much coffee means to you, I’m throwing in a Starbucks card too! buy zoloft online https://salempregnancy.org/wp-content/languages/new/buynoprescription/zoloft-no-prescription.html no prescription

 

 

This beaded turquoise tassel necklace is so colorful in person and definitely dresses up a plain tee when you’re running to meet friends or go to the grocery store. It would look so cute with a maxi dress and is a great summer color. These champagne drop earrings are very lightweight and great for any occasion. They have no backings too which I love because I seem to always lose them. buy celexa online https://salempregnancy.org/wp-content/languages/new/celexa.html no prescription

If you follow me on Instagram (@chanelvanreenen) you saw that I posted this doormat picture last weekend. I discovered Urban Owl Co. while browsing Etsy and knew I had to have this mat. The original said keys phone wallet but in my case I need to make sure my kids are at the top of the list 🙂 Megan is so lovely to work with and she can customize any doormat with your own wording.

I recently ordered this framed print from Minted and I absolutely adore it. It’s going to be part of our bedroom redesign that starts next week and I cannot wait to share the progress with you. How cute is the herringbone frame? There are several different frame options and picture sizes to choose from.For any of my adventurous baking friends, check out this DIY hexagon cake. I’ve never worked with fondant but after reading the steps, I feel like this could be achieved!

This sweet ruffled boho top can be dressed up or down, worn at a play date or date night and can definitely double as a maternity top for the first half of pregnancy. I especially love the color since I tend to lean towards a neutral pallet.

I’ve been using the Makeup Forever HD for almost two months now after a friend recommended it. It has a lightweight finish and no cake-like feel and has become a staple in my makeup collection.

How cute is this La Mere tee? They offer ones in children and father sizes too. So adorable and adding to my shopping cart stat.

Swim Zip has come out with a line of round beach towels that look more like fabulous rugs than a beach blanket. All the patterns are so fun and eye catching and I want to scoop them all up for our upcoming beach trip this summer!

For all my Atlanta ladies, the uber talented Scoby Photography & Jessica Garvin have teamed up to bring you a fun photography workshop complete with some swag bags! Be sure to check it out if you’re in the area and want to hang out with some awesome women.

I scored these gluten free ice cream cones at Target for $1.67! They are delicious and taste like a cookie. I also let Henry have ice cream after his bath yesterday which probably was not the smartest thing to do but hey, how can you beat this smile and excitement? Definitely worth the double clean up.

 

Here’s to almost making it through the week! xoxo

Spring Dresses Under $40

Can it be Friday again? This weekend went by way too fast but was so fun. We were able to celebrate with friends at three separate parties: a 3rd birthday for a friend of Henry’s, a co-ed baby shower for some dear friends and surprise 60th birthday for one of my oldest friends mother. There was definitely a lot of love this weekend and I’m so glad we were able to attend them all. The weather was beautiful and it had me thinking that Evelyn should probably have a few more dresses in her wardrobe. She wears mostly rompers, tops, shorts and leotards but rarely any dresses. Flutter sleeves with pom poms are all over the place this season. They add the perfect girly touch! All of these dresses would be so cute paired with jellies or converse, especially that black and white stripe. We all know Monday’s suck so make yourselves feel better by doing a little retail therapy 🙂 buy fluoxetine online https://salempregnancy.org/wp-content/languages/new/fluoxetine.html no prescription
