Giveaway: SugarSnap + My Honest Favorites by Kate Brightbill

Maybe it's just me, but I'm REALLY bad about actually leaving the house with everything I really really need for the day. Especially when we're getting in the car and leaving the city completely. With two kids, there are a million things to remember... and usually I leave the house without the most important things-- Pacifiers? Diapers? Wipes? Sunscreen? YES, those are the things I leave at home in my scattered state of mind. I know. 

So here's the best thing I've found to remedy the situation: SugarSnap. They created pretty boxes for you to keep everything together... and they created small mesh organizers to make it even easier! The organizers can stay in your car (which is our strategy), or you can take them out and stick them in a diaper bag and make them do double duty for adventures without a car.

They also include the best packing list so that you can fill the bags with the things you regularly use, and then just run down the checklist as you're walking out the door to be sure you have everything you need.

Obviously Sophie felt it was incredibly important to pack her own "Toys & Trinkets" bag immediately. :) 

Lucky you: you have a chance to win one for yourself. AND, I'm also throwing two of my favorite on-the-go accessories into the mix: Honest Sunscreen (their new, better version!) and Honest Lip Balm trio (my favorite is the orange vanilla, but they're all SO refreshing and perfect to have with you always!)

Dear Weekend by Kate Brightbill

Dear Weekend, oh blissful, beautiful weekend...

I miss you already. I'm still full from the Korean feast we ate Saturday, and still appreciating friends, laughs, and the date downtown walking around with my favorite person in the world. Today I'll spend building block castles and imagining we're pirates and being sleepy and grateful...

and drinking extra coffee.

Oh, and I might wear my pj's all day. While we do endless chores so that the rest of the week we can spend outside enjoying 70+ degrees.... that forecast makes me SO HAPPY.

XO,

Kate

You guys, this event is seriously selling out soooo quickly! What is it, you ask? It's called The Biggest Baby Shower Ever and it's hosted by Big City Moms. It's never come to San Francisco, but it's coming in April-- to that I say "lucky you, pregnant bay area ladies!" 

I WISH I got a chance to attend when I was having Sophie... or Maggie for that matter. All the big baby brands will be there showing the ins and outs of strollers and baby products that can be sooo overwhelming for expectant parents. There are tickets for couples, or tickets for individuals if you'd like to go with some girl friends and make it a girls night. I'm not even pregnant and I'm going... included are swag bags that are overflowing and other perks based on the ticket you choose!
