2017 Holiday Gift Guide

DISCLOSURE: THIS IS A SPONSORED POST, IT’S THANKS TO WONDERFUL COMPANIES LIKE THESE THAT THE MAGNOLIA MOM BLOG IS ABLE TO KEEP RUNNING. THIS POST CONTAINED AFFILIATE LINKS. 
The time has come !!! My annual anticipated Holiday Gift Guide is HERE, and I am so happy to have had the pleasure of working with so many AMAZING Companies to find this years perfect guide.
Let’s jump right in, with gifts for the kiddos ! Because let’s be honest fulfilling their wishes brings so much joy.
1.KidKraft Disney Pixar Cars 3 Florida International Speedway
This racetrack by KidKraft is nothing short of AMAZING ! The built in table doubles as storage and has proven itself with hours of solo play for Matthew ! Exclusively sold at Sam’s @samsclub #KidKraftKids
Definitely an awesome choice for kids 3+ when we received the box I was amazed how large the table was, it gives just the right amount of space for fast Speedway action, the tables theme is Disney Pixar’s Cars 3 (Matthew loves Cars 3) so seeing each character was really amazing for him. The table is real wood and has so many interchangeable pieces so the track is never the same, great to help build imagination and focus on re-building the track to allow the cars to run smoothly.
2.Rockabye Rockers
We adore these rockers!! Rockabye rockers are not your average rocker, they are assembled in the USA and they also play educational songs to add to the fun while the kids are rocking away !!
3. Re -Play Recycled
COLOR its the key to success for me when trying to get and keep the boys attention, LOOK how fun these Re-Play Recycled sets are ! Jacob is now at the age where he can start sitting with his brother at the “Kids” Table at least for snack time 🙂 it makes it so fun to see them interacting and sharing snacks.
Let’s Jump into something FOR HIM****
Let me be honest here it’s really hard to shop for him, especially when you’ve been together for the greater part of your adulthood and have gotten him every “go too” Gift there ever was.
Ready, Set, GO!!!!! Buy him an Xtreme Experience! He will forever thank you when he gets to experience a few laps in his dream car!!!
Xtreme Experience is available nation wide throughout the year, it just so happens we will be Driving Exotic Cars At Palm Beach Intl Raceway come the weekend of Dec. 1,2 here in Florida:)
Be sure to follow along on Instagram to see us live at the Palm Beach International Raceway Driving a Dream Car with Xtreme Experience!!!
The following Gifts are for everyone!! Him, Her, Sister, Brother, Cousins…. anyone who just has it all and is worth a Unique thoughtful gift!!
1.Home DNA Ancestry Test
Ancestry DNA Test seem to be “the thing to do” now a days and why not? The testing has become so affordable and so easy it’s just worth getting an inside look. At where we come from. I had my husband take Home DNA and we are currently awaiting the results. The process was so easy! If you did not catch my insta stories unboxing I’ll quickly go over how we started the testing journey.
The box contains 4 Test swabs, a simple information return card and a prepaid return envelope. We followed the directions swabbed the inside of his cheeks with all 4 swabs filled out the card and placed everything into the return envelope. The results will be back in about 6 weeks.
Can’t wait to learn more about his heritage not only for him but to help us form a bigger picture for our children to pass down.
2. Tile #tileit
If you have lost it, miss placed it or ever feared loosing it Tile It! Seriously you guys, you can not beat knowing you have a way to help find your lost or miss placed items. See our story with TileHERE.
3. Smile Brilliant
Smile Brilliant was on my Holiday Gift Guide last year as well, I am still a huge fan!! Custom fitted whitening trays you can do at home !! 5% coupon code: magnoliamomco
So if you know someone who would appreciate a bright white smile gift Smile Brilliant! Trust me it’s worth it.
4. Oliday Bag
Oliday is a collection of premium quality backpacks, travel bags, and camera bags. Yes, a bag for everyone!! I use mine as a baby bag that also holds my laptop ! Double score!! You seen my Oliday Bag in our recent story with Tile.
It is water resistant and holds all the things, it has a over the shoulder strap for easy carrying and is the perfect neutral color so my husband can take it along when he takes the kids to activities or to the park.
5. WODBOM box of the month
Because fitness is one of the top New Years resolutions, I love WODBOM to Gift an easy way to help them stay motivated and ready with healthy snacks, equipment and apparel that all arrives to your doorstep every month!! #WODBOM
6. Ollie Gray
This one is staying with the fitness trend and keeping that new Mom or Mom to be motivated and looking good! Ollie Gray Anywhere Bra will allow her to go from Home to Work and to the Gym all with comfort and the ability to pump and feed the baby without having to change bras. I can tell you from experience this is huge and takes away the stress of thinking about why type of bra to wear.
The designs are so gorgeous!

MommyCon 2017 & A Discount for your Tickets !

Hi Friends !

I will be attending MommyCon Orlando once again this year in 2017! I am so pleased be a part of this amazing parenting group and be able to share such a special day sharing stories and learning about the newest and best in natural parenting.

Last year we attended MommyCon I was pregnant with Jacob, we learned so much that we “thought” we knew just having Matthew 1.5 years prior! I am proud to say I have been nursing Jacob 7 months! A personal victory for me, a lot of it has to do with the support I received from MommyCon 2016.

I know you would love to come be a part of MommyCon and you can in multiple places this year use the code MAGNOLIA17 for $5 EACH ticket!

See you there!
-Amy @themagnoliamom

Everyday Life With The Boys – Nuby To The Rescue

Note: I was kindly sent the products featured in this post. It’s thanks to wonderful sponsors like these that The Magnolia Mom is able to keep running! All opinions are my own. The Magnolia Mom Blog is a proud Nuby Parent Blogger Partner.

Everyday life with kids is a Wild Adventure to say the least, if its not “I’m Hungary” or “I Need a Snack” than they are bored of the show they started watching 5 minutes ago so the activities, toys and meal time accessories we choose to use make a huge difference for me. 
The first product we love is the Clik-it™ Flip-it™ Stainless Steel Insulated Cup, this is Matthews go to cup, he has never liked “sippy cups” and always loved straws, this cup keeps his drinks cold for 10 hours! Awesome for on the go! This cup does not leak, I have found it in the bottom of my diaper bag full and it has never leaked once, it is also very easy to clean, so important for me!
Good Morning
We usually do some kind of activity during the morning before we go outside, at this stage with Jacob becoming more aware of what his brother is doing we love using the Nuby Stack O’ Rings I love the bright vibrant colors and how easy they are to clean! Big brother can show Jacob all the beautiful colors and keep him interested for at least half an hour ! 
These wonderful products are just two that we use and love everyday! Both of these products are easy to clean, the #1 thing I look for in any of the products I use for the kids.

Dock A Tot – A Sleep Miracle!

If you have not seen or heard about Dock A Tot yet, I will gladly be the first to tell you, Include this on your baby registry !

Since the day I brought Jacob home I have put him into his Dock A Tot, he loves it! Every time he gets startled a very common new born trait the soft sides of the Doc A Tot comforts him and allows him to calm in just seconds and sooth himself back to sleep. Hallelujah!

 With Matthew my first Son, I had to pick him up every time he startled to sooth him back to sleep, this is not necessarily a bad thing although allowing the baby to self sooth in his Dock A Tot has helped with his Sleep habits and adjusting to life outside the womb.

 If your considering a Dock A Tot, I say YES! 100 % add this to your list of Must Haves ! Follow along on Instagram @themagnoliamom and see Jacob use his on a daily basis.

 
Shop Dock A Tot HERE for $10 OFF !  
Note: I was kindly sent the product featured in this post in exchange for writing about it. It’s thanks to wonderful sponsors like these that The Magnolia Mom is able to keep running! All opinions are my own.
