Even though I worked in magazines and fashion for most of my career and have a pretty good pulse on the best gifts for women (which are mainly all the gifts I’d love to get), I always find it hard…
Mother in Law Gifts
I find any in-laws difficult to shop for honestly, but moms and mother in laws are especially tricky imo. Moms do so much and you want to find something special to let them know you appreciate them. But it’s hard…
Holiday Gifts for Guys
The holidays are already coming in hot, and I’m starting to do my shopping. But when it comes to holiday shopping I have one gripe that I feel the need to share because I cannot be alone: Why is shopping…
My Favorite Baby Christmas Gifts
We are getting ready to celebrate our first Christmas with Baby Brooks. It’s crazy to think that this will be his first holiday and our first as a family of five. It sort of feels like he’s always been a…
