1. I have done a lot of reflecting over these last few weeks at home. Reflecting on the last year when our whole world changed for the better in May. And we brought our beautiful baby girl Millie into the world. Can’t believe she’s going to be ONE so soon. We made the tough decision this week to cancel her birthday party next month, just to be safe, but instead I’m focusing on the good. So grateful that she’s in our lives, healthy, happy and loves more than anything to be our center of attention. We love it too, Millie! Planning something extra special for her first birthday with us at home and looking forward to celebrating our baby girl! This Friday Favorites – family time + small business love is centered around a few small businesses our family loves and I think you will too.
Small Business Love
2. Last week I shared a mini highlight on some of my favorite small businesses and I’m keeping this fun trend going! I want to continue to share more on this topic each week as it’s something that I hold dear to my heart to support these businesses now more than ever.
Sweet Bling is a jewelry company that’s all about celebrating life and the beauty all around us! I’m in love with this beautiful online jewelry shop that includes timeless pieces that are perfect for everyday wear.
One of the most special pieces I own is the beautiful bezel gemstone ring with an emerald, Millie’s birthstone. The designer and owner behind Sweet Bling is so sweet and was amazing to work with. If you’re looking to create a custom piece of your own I highly recommend you check out this company!
Right now Sweet Bling is offering 25% off ALL fashion and fine jewelry orders! For fine jewelry purchases use code ‘LUVFINE’ and for fashion jewelry use code ‘SWEET25’.
Sweet Bling also just launched a new jewelry line called Santos Oñate and it’s stunning. It’s a custom collection of fine jewelry combining Old World artistry and modern designs. Each piece of jewelry is finished by hand at a jewelers bench, so no two pieces are exactly the same. The details of this line are unlike anything I’ve seen before, I’m obsessed.
Better Buzz
3. Letting you in on our best kept coffee secret at home! This Better Buzz Vanilla Power is AMAZING! Using our Nespresso machine we make espresso then add a little almond milk, cinnamon and a spoonful of this vanilla powder and froth. If you’re local to San Diego you know how amazing Better Buzz Coffee is, it’s taking over! But for you coffee lovers that haven’t had it you need this in your life! They have a drink called the Best Drink Ever that includes this powder and it’s seriously the best. drink. ever. SO happy they sell this product online and now we can’t drink our coffee without it. I’ll share our full coffee recipe on the blog soon!
Tote Savvy
4. I added this Tote Savvy to my baby registry and I am SO happy that I did. I wanted something I could easily organize all of Millie’s baby stuff in and easily swap out between our diaper bag and my tote bag or purse. I got the mini size since it fit perfectly in my tote. If you need a bigger version to haul more baby goodies I recommend the original size. I’ll share more on Instagram stories this weekend and if you miss those it will be saved in my highlights so you can view how we use ours!
They are currently having a 20% off sale on their site, with code ‘SAVE20’.
