Must-Haves for the Busy Mom

Spread the love

Must-Haves for the Busy Mom | Southern Made Blog | Plus, a virtual book tour with Kail Lowry for her book Hustle and Heart! Happy Monday, friends! I hope y’all had an amazing weekend! Ours was pretty low-key with the boys but we actually had a date night Saturday! Insert all the praise hands here! Ha! They have been few and far between since Finn was born and it was so nice to have some quiet time with my hubby. I’m sorry if I’ve been a little M.I.A. lately. To say life with three kids is chaotic would be an understatement, but I wouldn’t change it for anything. Being a mama to these three boys of mine is seriously the best in the world! Today I thought I’d round up my must-have pieces for the busy mom, because what mom isn’t busy. Anything to make our lives easier, right? Most mornings start with caffeine and anything I can eat quickly while I’m feeding the boys and getting them dressed. I throw on clothes, sneakers, and a hat then we’re out the door. If you aren’t already following along with me on Instagram, find me @southernmadeblog and watch as I live out motherhood in all of its glory with this crazy crew of mine. Check out these favorites below! I can’t live without them!

  • Graphic tees – I love all of the tees from Mama Said Tees. They’re cute and perfect for a mom on the go! Comfy jeans – Distressed denim is a staple for me. I can always make it work for a playdate with my boys or a night out with adults.
  • Monogrammed hat – Most days you can catch me wearing a hat. I love this one because it serves its purpose but it’s still adorable.
  • Sneakers – Who said sneakers can’t be stylish? I love that these are trending right now because they’re super practical for mamas and we can still be styling!
  • Sunglasses – Ya can’t ever have too many awesome shades and these are classic!
  • Lipsense & LashSense – Lipstick and mascara because what girl can live without them?! I have recently stumbled onto this brand of products and I am OBSESSED! I do good if I put makeup on, much less reapply. I only have to apply the lipstick once and it’s on for 15+ hours and the mascara is amazing and doesn’t flake! Hallelujah for long lasting makeup! If you want to order any of these incredible products, you can use my distributor code (308724) or head over to my Facebook group Southern Made Lips to find out what the hype is about! I’m going live on FB this week showing you new colors and how to apply them!
  • Diaper bag – I love my Ju-Ju-Be diaper bag so much! Having two little ones in diapers means I always have to be prepared and this bag helps! Plus, it’s gorgeous! I can fit Rohen and Finn’s things in it along with mine. Mama score!
  • Stress Away essential oil – I always have my oils on me and Stress Away does not leave my side! You can bet with this name, it pretty much means I bathe in it every single day! #momlife
  • Headphones –  I have these from Sudio and love them! Wireless headphones are a must!
  • Hustle and Heart – There are days that kick my butt and my kids are crazy. These days I put a dvd on for the kids and stick in my headphones to just break away just for a bit.  I love a good book to read but audio books are great when I’m on the run and this one is perfect for motherhood.

I am so excited to be joining Kail Lowry today for a Virtual Book Tour in honor of her new book Hustle & Heart! Also, if you’re in the Baltimore area, you can meet Kail in person at her book signing March 25th at noon at John Hopkins University Barnes and Noble! Be sure to visit these other posts from my blogger friends below to follow along for the virtual blog tour! Have an awesome day, y’all!

✨Standing where our home will be in Louisiana. W ✨Standing where our home will be in Louisiana. We’re leaving Tennessee and moving back. ✨

We felt a nudge about 6 months ago to start praying about moving back to Louisiana. So, pray we did! Lots and lots of it. I swore we’d never leave Franklin, so I was a bit confused as to why the Lord had put this on my heart. But I know that His plans are always better than our own. Month after month I softened to the idea and he started working out all the details. 

During spring break we made a trip to Louisiana to see Daniel’s parents and to drive around with a move in mind. We couldn’t find any homes that we loved, so we started looking at land. Long story short, this property is close to my in-laws and had been on the market for over a year. Over an acre on a lake that hadn’t been scooped up. We truly feel that God held it for us. Our vision for this land is dreamy. It will give us what we’ve wanted which is a bit of land that we could turn into our little oasis, it offers some privacy, and allows us to be close to family. 

We closed on the land two weeks ago, put our house here in TN on the market last Friday, accepted an offer on Monday, and started the details of our new home build. The boys will finish out school and then we’re heading back south in early July. It’s all happened fairly quickly but we know it’s what we’re supposed to be doing and we’re at peace with it all. It’s going to be very bittersweet to leave. We love Franklin/Nashville and our community here, but we’re excited about a new adventure and to be around family.

Is anyone else fond of coffee or red wine? I know Is anyone else fond of coffee or red wine? I know I’m not alone. I love the taste but I’m not crazy about what it does for my teeth. ☕️😁

I’m not a fan of whitening strips at home because it always makes my teeth sensitive. I was so excited to get in with @nationsdentalstudio because they offer professional teeth whitening that’s quick. I was curious to see if I’d have the same experience in the office that I have at home Thankfully, that wasn’t the case. 

I was in and out with whiter teeth within an hour. I had minimal discomfort for the first 24 hours and only needed one session. This is definitely the easiest way to get your pearly whites even brighter! Ten out of ten in my book! Not to mention, this is the most chic dental office you’ll ever see. 😍

Mention “Southern Made Blog” when booking a teeth whitening session with @nationsdentalstudio and get $50 off!

Yes, please! Count me in! This may have been the best one yet. @urbanaircoolsprings had everything set up and ready to go for us when we arrived. So much fun, pizza, cupcakes, and lots of celebrating. 

Between the trampolines, rock climbing walls, ball pits, playground, ropes course, and VR, I’d say these boys had a blast! Two birthdays to remember. Thanks for a great day, @urbanaircoolsprings!
