Hi mama, if you are looking for the best advice for new moms you have found it.  A few years ago I was searching Pinterest for everything first time mom, packing my bag, and creating the best nursery. I know you have got so many things to do and so little time left, which is why I  wanted to share all the best advice.  I also know that every mom (and baby) is different so I had friends and followers to give their best advice too.  My heart was so happy with all of the submissions coming in from all these sweet moms, then I was also kinda peeing in my pants (take that as advice) from the hilarious moms!

When starting this little blog almost 1 year ago, Lindsay and I knew we wanted to reach out to the St. Louis community as much a we could. Why not host a charity event and have a great time for a good cause. We’ve gotten to know so many amazing local businesses and women throughout this crazy journey.

(L and I both dressed like it was our wedding day. Can you blame us-haha Dresses from La Ville)

One thing we noticed was the lack of community ship within the area. We started to think of charities that spoke to us and decided to hold a fun day out for ladies that would benefit The Women’s Safe House. Since we ourselves are two moms who enjoy a day out we thought it would be fun to host a day of shopping. We invited all of our fav businesses to participate. Each business brought special pieces from their stores for the women to shop. To see a full list of the vendors click here.

Lindsay and I couldn’t have been more please with the turn out.  Everyone involved was amazing and had a wonderful time. We laughed, shopped, and sipped out way through the beautiful event space at Willow. We met some amazing ladies who are still inspiring us today.  I wanted to share all of the photos from our special day because it’s something that we will always look back on and smile. ENJOY!

We gave the first 25 ladies to enter AMAZING goodie bags – huge thank you to EVERYONE who donated!
