Sweet, Bubbly, and Simply Sparkly!

10.30.2014

Sparkly Wine or Champagne Bottle GiftIt’s been one of those days. You know the days. The days that drag on and on, while you sit at your desk or stand at your podium and mentally break down inside, all while counting down the hours until you can make it home and open a bottle of wine. Or a can of beer. Or a gallon of ice cream. I’m no judge.

The best thing about bad days: They only last 24 hours. Tomorrow is a brand new day (aren’t I just so optimistic?). It better not be a brand new bad day.

So let’s start tomorrow with a little glitter, shall we? It’s been a while since I did something sparkly, and well, I’m not quite living up to my name. So in typical Rae of Sparkles fashion, cheers to announcing my Super Sparkly Champagne Bottle!

Apply Modge Podge to the bottle, everywhere you want the glitter, and dump the glitter on (excess will fall off). Spray a coat of clear spray paint over the bottle, and…Sparkle Champagne or Wine Bottle GiftTa Da! (Cue the applause)

Grab a piece of ribbon, and attach the tag to make it a Wedding Shower gift. Or even a Wedding Gift.Sparkle Wine or Champagne Bottle GiftIsn’t she beautiful? If I had her waiting for me at home tonight, I’d be speeding down the freeway right now. Or stuck in traffic. One of the two. I’m going to put my money on the traffic. Ugh. Of course those fellow drivers would get in the way of me and my bottle. That’s life.

It’s just so unfair.

    This would be a great center piece with a few of them lined up on the dinning room table. Fab idea!

Why yes, I do. 🤣🤣🤣

One of my favorite things we get to give our girls One of my favorite things we get to give our girls is perspective. To see new places. To meet different people. To experience cultures outside of their own.

Not so they grow up thinking one place is “better” than another — but so they grow up curious, grateful, and grounded. And the more of the world we see, the more thankful I become for home, for the freedoms we have, and for the life we get to build together. 

Flag tees from @sweet_peas_and_sweeties - they’re selling fast so grab yours before they’re gone!
I might be the world’s worst “influencer,” because I might be the world’s worst “influencer,” because I’m here to tell you this: you do not need a whole new wardrobe for vacation.

Social media makes it feel like every trip requires new outfits, a new summer closet, a new date-night dress…but honestly? It doesn’t.

I’m willing to bet you already have plenty of great options hanging in your closet. And instead of spending a bunch of money on clothes you’ll probably only wear once, maybe it’s enough to just wear what you already love.
One day, instead of hearing little feet running th One day, instead of hearing little feet running through the house all day, I’ll be leaving voicemails hoping they call me back when they have time.

The sticky fingerprints will wash away, the car seats will come out, bedtime routines will end, and the house that once felt so loud will get quieter little by little.

It’s strange how the things that exhaust you in the moment become the very things you ache for later. 🤍
When did it become expected to spend hundreds of d When did it become expected to spend hundreds of dollars on Teacher Appreciation gifts? Don’t get me wrong, if it were in the budget you better believe it’s worth it. I am not advocating for giving them LESS, I’m just advocating for staying within your families budget. And maybe if we see more of these easy little inexpensive gifts, we can make it more acceptable to gift within budget. Because that’s what it’s all about. 

What’s that saying? It’s the thought that counts.
I’ve been seeing so many reels lately saying that I’ve been seeing so many reels lately saying that Mother’s Day is only for moms with small children. I couldn’t disagree more. To me, Mother’s Day is not just about me. It’s about the women who helped shape me, as a mother, a woman, a friend. It’s about my friends who help me be a better mother, even if they don’t have little kids themselves. It’s about my own mother, who is the biggest inspiration for me, to be a better mother myself. It’s about the many generations before me that allowed me to be a mother at all. It’s about every woman in my life that loves me and my girls as if they’re their own. That’s who I’ll be celebrating this Mother’s Day.
Listen. Shelling with my kids will always be so mu Listen. Shelling with my kids will always be so much fun. But I think we have enough of these oyster shells at this point. 🤣

What are your kids always finding for you?
There’s something rare about being fully known and There’s something rare about being fully known and still fully loved. No shrinking yourself. No editing your personality.
Just being met where you are. That kind of friendship changes you.
It’s just a little walk… It’s just a little walk…
