I picked out the the black Urbini Touri Travel System because to me black is the most fashionable and does not clash with anything in my wardrobe. As a fashionable mom, it is important that my stroller is fashionable as well.
had so much fun making my Wink and Winn bag with their cute and easy to use website. I love that the website looks like it is made of leather with sticking. There are so many awesome shapes and colors, but I decided to go with a classic black bag with a twist because that is really what my bag closet was lacking.

I had so much fun shopping for glasses on OzealGlasses.com. There are so many cute eyeglasses to pick from that I could not pick just on pair! I picked the Radiant Orchid glasses and these round Ospirit Burberry Tortoiseshell glasses. These glasses are a great everyday pair that I have been wearing non-stop. The cool thing about Ozeal is that the prices are so reasonable that you do not have to buy just one pair!

Mother’s Day is an important day where Mothers are honored for being awesome all year round. I believe that there should be a Mother’s Month or a day every month where Mothers get some recognition for their hard work, patience, and general awesomeness.
My mom and I received awesome dresses from Monroe & Main last week from their Mother’s Day collection. I am wearing the Artist Dream Dress and my mom is wearing the Border Dot Dress. Both dresses are super comfortable and easy to wear.

Every season, Pantone releases a series of colors that become a big hit in the design and fashion worlds (you can see the post I created last spring about the chosen Pantone colors). This season, their colors are both soft and vibrant, and a great way to inspire any girl’s wardrobe. In their collection, they included soft pastels like Violet Tulip, Placid Blue and Hemlock (a lovely light green). They incorporated a neutral color, Sand, which is reminiscent of beautiful sandy beaches. Colors like Freesia (yellow), Celosia Orange and Cayenne (red), are feisty and festive and sure way to get you longing for the warm summer sun. Finally, Dazzling Blue and Radiant Orchid (like my prescription glasses) are funky bold colors added to the mix to make the collection pop!
Media rates and, in some cases, comped activities were provided to showcase this venue properly. As always, all opinions are 100% my own. All photos of April taken by my roommate on the Royal Caribbean Cruise, Arena of The Nerd’s Wife unless otherwise noted.
I somehow convinced my husband, Kevin to watch my nearly 9 month old daughter while I went a Royal Caribbean Cruise on the 3rd largest cruise ship in the world, Liberty of the Seas with a bunch of my mom blogging friends. Needless to say, he is the best hubby in the world and I should be thankful for him everyday. Sometimes, I need to be reminded how lucky I am and this 4 night Royal Caribbean Cruise was a reminder how awesome he is. He even wrote an awesome blog post for me while I was gone…check it out…it’s funny and sweet. OK…enough raving about how awesome Kevin is and back to the Cruise Packing!
I spent weeks researching what to pack for a cruise watching YouTube Videos and reading tons of blogs and websites preparing to pack. It took me about a week to pack all with the goal of putting together an awesome go to guide to cruise packing for my readers. I hope that my hard work saves you time and money and allows you to enjoy your cruise.
