Popping in to wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving. We’re spending our’s in Harbour Island this year, and this is the only family photo we’ve taken so far this trip. Need to work on that.

 

 

I’m grateful for each and every one of you who come here every day and listen to me ramble and talk about things that aren’t so serious. We’re living in a world that is far from perfect, and this space is a happy place for me, and I hope that it is for you, too. Thank you for sharing it with me. And today I just wish you a happy Thanksgiving – enjoy your loved ones and your blessings. Be sure to come back tomorrow for my guide to the best Black Friday sales.

Pros: 1) no need to worry about script positioning ruining your photo 2) the photo can be saved and framed since it doesn’t have the print on it 3) totally customizable 4) they just look cool!

Today I’m sharing 10 cool finds that I’ve been saving on Amazon! Because cool things just make life more fun.

 

WIFI SMART LED LIGHTBULB:

 

 

These smart wifi lightbulbs are multi-color, dimmable, and adjustable via voice control!

 

TOASTSTATION:

Alright y’all might not love this as much as I do, but as an avid toaster oven advocate who still sometimes misses the regular toaster function and likes a cute, non cluttered space, this ToastStation is the bomb.

 

WATERCOLOR BRUSH MARKERS:

 

 

I don’t have a whole lot to say about these watercolor markers other than they just look really pretty and fun. Great stocking stuffer idea!

 

GOLDEN GIRLS BOARD GAME:

 

 

The perfect excuse to throw a game night with your girlfriends, this Golden Girls Board Game is hilarious. Fun gift idea, too!

 

360 VIDEO CAMERA:

 

 

Okay you really have to go watch this video to get this thing, because it’s soooo cool! This 360 video camera literally captures everything around you. And then it connects to your smart phone for the editing where you can create the perfect clip from any section of your 360 shot. I know it’s confusing. Watch the video!

 

CHRISTMAS TREE STAND GENIE:

 

 

We own this Christmas Tree Genie Stand and it has changed Christmas for us. It’s SO easy to use and get your tree set up. It’s the best.

 

CINEMOOD PORTABLE MOVIE PROJECTOR:

 

 

How cool is this tiny portable movie projector?! It’s kid friendly, is pre-loaded with 120+ hours of Disney and and other kid’s entertainment, and even streams your favorite shows (netflix, amazon, youtube…)! Good for travel and outdoor movie nights!

 

FOOD SENSITIVITY TEST:

Ever wondered why you feel bloating, fatigue, stomach pains, headaches, etc. after eating certain foods? Turns out food sensitivities are super common. This Food Sensitivity Test can help you pin point what you need to stay away from!

 

HABIT AWARE TRACKER:

 

 

Want to finally quit biting your nails (raises hand)? You simply train this HabitAware Keen Bracelet for your specific behavior  that you want to kick (which take 30 seconds according to the description), and it will detect your hand movements and send a gentle vibration to alert you! So cool!

 

BOSE HEADPHONES WITH ALEXA:

 

 

And my most favorite find of all – the new Bose Wireless Headphones! Why are these so special? They come with Alexa voice control!! You can access texts, music, google.. You really have to see the video, it’s amazing – trust me.

I am SO SO very excited to share that our Bahamas home, Coral House, is currently featured in Coastal Living’s October issue! This was such a dream of mine and to see it actually come to life feels so  magical. 10 pages you guys (11 if you count the table of contents)!! Like, what?! So excited!!

 

 

We had an incredible group working on the story: Written by Stephanie Hunt, an amazing writer who just so happens to be my neighbor (we did our “interview” for the story over porch drinks). Styled by Liz Strong, a huge talent out of California who I basically hit the jack pot getting to work with. Photographed by Annie Schlecter, a much celebrated NYC based photographer who knew all the best angles and made the shoot relaxed and easy. And of course the team at Coastal Living, who I can’t thank enough for bring this story to life! Y’all are all incredible and I couldn’t and wouldn’t have chosen a better group to work with!

 

I would be so honored if you picked up a copy of the magazine!! In addition, you can view the story online at Coastal Living right here. And of course you can check out Coral House on instagram here and our Coral House website link right here!

In partnership with Athleta. Active. Healthy. Confident.

 

It’s an unordinary day on the blog today as Lilly leads me in yoga. Some things to keep in mind are 1) I don’t do yoga and 2) I don’t do yoga.

 

 

But, like most moms, I’m down for anything when it comes to spending time with my girl. And thanks to Athleta we both get to dress the part! Lilly practices yoga at school so she was able to show me a few of her favorite moves. Some I totally nailed (in my mind)…

 

 

And some I’m going to have to work on…

 

 

Everyone knows that exercising is more fun with a prop (especially when they’re pink).

 

 

At this point we’re professionals…

 

 

It makes my heart happy to see Lilly enjoy exercise. I want her to know that her potential is limitless, to be inspired to try everything she dreams of. Athleta Girl offers high quality, comfortable apparel with product features like hidden pockets, NEVEREND drawstrings, and chafe-free seamless fabric. They’re collection is versatile and well designed that Lilly can grow with. Plus, they’re leggings feel like pure butter. We are BIG Athleta fans here at our house and I highly recommend you check them out, too!

 

Wearing:

 

You can shop both my whole look and Lilly’s look on this unique Athleta page right here!
