Guest Blogger: Denise Sawyer

Guest Mommy Blogger: DENISE SAWYER


Thanksgiving is here and you better believe this Georgia girl is going to be doing some good eatin’! One thing us southerners are known for is our good southern home cookin’ and my family is no exception. I was born into a family of fabulous home cooks with delicious (and simple) recipes that have been handed down from generation to generation.


At our Thanksgiving table you’ll find a huge turkey, cornbread dressing and gravy, sweet potato casserole, squash casserole, asparagus casserole, homemade cranberry sauce (not anything like the canned stuff!), and plenty of pecan pie! I can hear my stomach growling already! Around our table you’ll see four generations of my family plus my in-laws. A total of 13 people and enough food to feed an army!


My grandma still cooks the meal, although my mom will go to stay with her and help her prepare it. Grandma doesn’t really allow anyone to help though, just watch her and keep her company! She will let my mom make the sweet potato casserole, it is what she’s famous for, and my father-in-law will make the pecan pies the night before at my house before we drive up to join the rest of my family.


My favorite part of the meal? Definitely the squash casserole. You can get my family’s recipe on my blog here: http://wholesomemommy.com/squash-casserole/


I could eat my weight in it! Although, isn’t that what Thanksgiving is for… to stuff yourself like a turkey?

HOW-TO: Organize Your Purse


HOW-TO: Organize Your Purse With holiday shopping gearing up we need to stay organized, Ladies! Lists are a good idea for gift shopping but what about your purse?

Purses….the essences of all accessories - in my opinion ;-) need to stay organized so not to loose or misplace anything in the hustle & bustle of shopping madness.

Some tips to stay organized during Black Friday and Holiday Shopping:

· Have a place for everything in your purse – extra pockets are great!

o Make sure your cell phones stays in its holder, keys have a pocket or keychain clip in your purses.


· Makeup bags are an easy way to keep organized, I have an extra bag in my purse to keep a mirror, pens, hand-sanitizer, and any other miscellaneous items. This way when you are looking for something in your bag, you know where it will be and not scattered in the abyss!



· During shopping trips the one thing you need more than anything else is your wallet. To minimize ciaos…make sure all credit cards you need are in your wallet and visible. When your wallet is organized it eliminates the stress of potentially loosing a credit card or misplacing money.


Avoid this!! Looks of organizing compartments ;-)

· Finally, my last tip for Holiday Shopping – get a receipt organizer!

o Instead of cramming receipts into your wallet or loosely in your purse, purchase a receipt carrier so when something needs to be returned or exchanged you know exactly where you placed that receipt!


Will you be out & about on Black Friday?

Happy Shopping!!

Toy Story Magic

As a mother of four boys ages two to six, seldom if ever do I find that one toy that they all can enjoy. The Toy Story Rocket Table Setfrom Jakks Pacific is one of those rare exceptions. It’s a table and two chair set, decorated with the Toy Story characters that all my boys love that can be broken down and changed into a rocket ship that’s over for feet tall.



Henry, my two year old, is a little young to get all the pieces together, but I can leave him alone, not worried about small pieces that some of his older brothers’ toys contain. He loves stacking the pieces and we can often hear the crash when he knocks the rocket ship down.





William, my six year old, loves to lend a hand with the pieces that Henry can’t quite assemble. As a mother, it warms my heart to see my babies working together rather than fighting over a toy.



With four chairs, there’s room at the table for everyone! They love to sit and eat at the Toy Story table and actually sit quietly at their special table. $69.95 is a small price to pay for that!

20 Earrings Under $50

Now that my ears are pierced... I'm ready to fill up my jewelry box with some beautiful earrings!

[/caption]

I don't want to spend a ton of money on earrings because I know (with the craziness in my house) the chances of some pieces "gone missing" or getting damaged (a.k.a. sat on, put down the drain) is quite high. Sadly... yes.

So I did a little online perusing looking for some beautiful earrings that are under $50:

Totsy Mom of the Week - Adela Santana


Totsy would like to congratulate, Adela Santana from Fresno, CA for becoming Totsy’s 1st Mom of the Week Winner. Her story was so inspirational and we would love to share Adela’s story.

“After having tried for 6 years to become a mom with my previous partner, our relationship broke down when I found out he was having an affair with a woman many years my junior. I thought that was it for my mommy dreams--I was 38 years old and newly separated. Unexpectedly, I found a kindred spirit in an old friend from graduate school, who had just been asked for a divorce by his wife of 12 years. Sharing feelings, hopes and dreams, we fell in love and I am happily now a mom of 2 fabulous stepchildren, ages 6 and 9, and a beautiful baby boy born on July 18, 2010! I am all happiness. My life is complete!”


1. How many children do you have?

· I have 2 step kids: Sean (6 yrs old) and Lilly (9 yrs old). On July 18th I gave birth to my first baby, a boy who we named Mateo (you can see him cheekily sticking out his tongue as he poses with me in the photo)

2. What's one thing you can't live without (besides your family)?

· My camera. I always document our everyday existence, not just major events in our lives. Sometimes the best memories occur at the most unexpected times. It is amazing to be able to capture them on film and re-live them in the future.

3. What's your favorite beauty item of all time?

· Lip-gloss. I cant live without it. Even on days when I wear no make-up, I must put on some lip-gloss. I have been fond of Kiehl’s lip-gloss for at least a decade! It is the only personal item I keep in my diaper bag!

4. What's your go-to fashion item?

· Ankle high-heeled boots. I love them and have at least 3 favorite pairs that I wear all the time.

5. What's been your favorite trend of all?

· I love 80’s fashion. I was an adolescent in the 1980’s and really enjoyed the imaginativeness and authenticity that characterized the fashion of the times. So I must say that I still enjoy wearing skinny jeans with leg warmers and have a closet full of flared mini skirts reminiscent of the 80’s rah rah skirts.

6. What's one fashion/beauty item you'll never touch? And why?

· I am horrified by tanning beds and/or fake tans. Even when I lived in London, England, I would rather be as pallid as an english raised than sport that orange, carcinogenic look.

7. TV shows you must tune into each week?

· I love TV series, but I particularly love watching all of the episodes in a series straight, once it is out on DVD. Right now I am really hooked on Dexter, Season 4.

8. Website you absolutely much check out daily?

· I used to check Facebook on a daily basis, although since the birth of Mateo my internet habits have radically changed! I now have an online baby book for Mateo at http://lilgrams.com/ where I am uploading photos, videos and stories to share with family and loved ones. I access it every day, adding new stuff and looking through Mateo’s old (!) photos and videos from when he was a newborn.

RED MAKEUP - WINTER TREND

I've never been a red lipstick wearer... actually, the only time I think I've ever worn red lipstick was when I was one of the Robert Palmer Girls for Halloween one year. You remember those girls, right?



I swear they made red lipstick POPULAR.

But this season, it all seems to be about RED MAKEUP.

Red lipstick.



Red eye makeup.



Red blush.

I'm not 100% sold on this red makeup beauty trend this fall/winter... but it definitely adds some beautiful color to your makeup arsenal. You won't see me with red makeup on my eyes, I don't think that's for me... but the great thing about beauty trends is that they don't have to work for everyone.

Kohl's is Totally Thinking of Moms...

On Sunday afternoon I took Henry on a much dreaded trip (for him)... shopping with Mommy for clothes. I wanted to grab a few new things because I have a lot of events and trips coming up, so I brought along my little man to "help me."

I have had my eye on a couple of things from the LC Lauren Conrad line at Kohl's. She's got some great boho-type items and I love the colors (pinks, greens, purples and blues) that she has in her Fall Collection. (And I will admit, I was a huge Laguna Beach fan!) But she had 2 items in her Collection that I absolutely LOVED...

[caption id="attachment_9825" align="aligncenter" width="266" caption="Floral Henley Set"][/caption]

[caption id="attachment_9826" align="aligncenter" width="230" caption="Floral Silk Tank"][/caption]

The problem was... they didn't have my SIZE at the store (in anything). UGH...

I loved the items enough to ask an employee if she could possibly call one of the other Kohl's store's in Rhode Island to see if they happened to have my size in those items (I didn't want to order online and then have to pay all the shipping). She said to me, "Did you already try the Kiosk?"

KIOSK? NO... I hadn't. And then she showed me the "way..."

Kohl's has a KIOSK in every store now where you can scan the item you like, see if the have the size/style/color you want and then you can order it and have it shipped to your house - FREE SHIPPING. I was able to get both the items I wanted, in the size I needed, in the color I preferred and have them sent right to my house... plus, I was able to still get all the same discounts as in-store and was able to add in the promotional code I had on me, too! It was AWESOME!

I had know idea Kohl's had this service in their stores. SO... if you're in a Kohl's and don't see what you want, do not fear... you can still get it!

**It also saved me a ton of time being with Henry. I didn't have to wait while the girl called every store to see if they had what I needed, I was able to do it quickly on my own!**

How to wear a Sweater Cardigan Vest

I've professed my love for cardigan sweater wraps time and time again on my blog. I just love them. I love pairing my wrap(s) with jeans, dresses and even sweats! They are so comfy and cozy.

Well, this season I'm beginning to be all about the Sweater Vest... a chunky knit sweater vest. This vest has become one of my new staples.



My mother came over last week and saw it hanging in my laundry area. My mom is cute when she sees I've bought something new (she thinks I have enough clothes), she immediately will ask me, "What are you going to wear with that?" (Oh, mom... you know I love a challenge!)

So what can you wear with a chunky sweater vest?

Here are 5 different ways you can wear this:

What were your kids for Halloween?

Halloween is one of those holidays that my sons count down for, beginning in the summer. With William and Alexander having birthdays in September (and us always having a Halloween themed party), they start talking costumes in July (no joke). This year Alexander, Benjamin and Henry all wanted to be something TOY STORY. It's funny, my sons are at the age where Toy Story 3 is really the first time we've ever been into Toy Story. My guys were too young (and not born) with the other Toy Story movies. So the excitement and wonder and awe has begun now for the McClelland boys...

JAKKS Pacific sent the boys the coolest Halloween costumes this year - Woody, Big Buzz and Little Buzz (as we deemed them).

Haircut time!



My sons were beginning to get that "shaggy" look. So much so, that when we were in the market this past weekend, a woman said to me, "Oh... look at their hair. It's so shaggy." Yup, that was the red flag I needed to get my sons to the nearest Snip-its! My sons aren't lovers of getting their haircut. Usually my husband or sister-in-law do the deed... but I knew it was time for a professional job!

I promised the boys a good time... and thankfully, Snip-its delivered!



Thank you, Christine for being so utterly amazing and so sweet with my sons!

Interview with Tiffany Noth, Founder of Bloggy Moms


Bloggy Moms is a phenomenal destination for moms online. I am a HUGE fan! I recently had the opportunity to ask Tiffany Noth, founder of Bloggy Moms, some questions about her amazing site.

Tell me a little about yourself...
I am a 30 year old stay-at-home mother of two {and wife} who has always had a love affair with the online world. I am a home-educator and we live in Liberty, Indiana..... a very small town.


1. When did you start blogging?

I've been "blogging" and "logging" my life ever since my parents gave me my first computer in 1996. I was immediately drawn to the connections I could make through early social networks and instant messaging such as mIRC and ICQ.

I don't believe the term "blog" was even around when I first began creating websites {through outlets such as angelfire} and logging my thoughts and activities. I'm sure no one from my high school is at all surprised I'm still sitting in front of a computer.

As I entered new stages of life: college, marriage, parenthood... my websites/blogs changed a long with the new era...

Now being a mother, I can't imagine I'll ever be in any other niche besides mommy blogging.


2. What made you start blogging?

I didn't realize I was "blogging" when I began my infatuation with the computer and the online world. I had something to say and what better platform to say it than to the entire world through a website. I actually have so much to say that i have a notebook dedicated to the posts I have not yet had time to write!

3. Why was it important for you to create Bloggy Moms?

Bloggy Moms came about in an effort to support and provide resources for mommy bloggers {especially those new to the world of blogging or looking to branch out}.

I want to provide information and help to those who maybe don't know how to connect with other moms online or don't understand what terms such as "meme" mean.

I get a little sad when I find a fantastic mom blog and realize it hasn't been updated in months or even years. Most of all I want to reach out to mommy bloggers and to provide community, help moms connect and not see each other as rivals in the blog world.

4. What do you want other blogging moms to walk away with from your site?


I want them to find the resources they were looking to find as well as information they didn't even know existed. I want them to find community and make connections with other mommy bloggers.


5. What's been the best thing you've discovered about blogging?


"I'm not alone" is the best thing I have found about blogging. I had stepped away from it for nearly a year when my daughter was first born... I was so busy, I thought it best to walk away. One of the best things I have done for myself and my family has been to return to blogging. It is a stress release, it's a connection to other moms who are going through or have gone through what I'm experiencing. Writing in my journal is nice, but it doesn't compare to logging my life online and meeting others moms who are there and know what I'm talking about.

What to Wear with Plaid

Plaid is a very big trend right now, especially Boyfriend Plaid Blouses. They're very chic and very fashionable to wear. I saw a bunch this weekend while at the mall - walk into American Eagle, Target, Old Navy, GAP, Macy's... you'll find some.

[/caption]

But what to wear with them? Can you actually wear one to work? Can you make one look oh-so-chic? My thought... yes, you can.



Jeans... high tall boots. Keep the blouse open with a camisole underneath it. Very chic to head out in! This works for Girl's Night Out... date night...



Leggings with a cozy sweater. Add some tall black boots, and you've got a sexy outfit!



Heading to work? Add a pencil skirt and belt with some boots. Very elegant... love this look!

Miraclebody Jeans at Getting Gorgeous

Miraclebody was one of our Getting Gorgeous sponsors this past August.

When they first told us what the jeans can do you for - actually make you look 10 pounds lighter in 10 seconds - we weren't sure we believed them. And then we tried them. And we were transformed...

We had the OH-SO-AMAZING celebrity stylist Robert Verdi style us in our jeans and we were feeling pretty cool.

Designer Band-Aids by Cynthia Rowley

Cynthia Rowley has created a limited-edition line of designer Band-Aids that are fashion-fabulous!



They come in some really cool designs...







20 assorted for $10... not bad for fashion-sense-ability. ;)

A piece of this that I love, $1 dollar from the sale of each tin will go to Design Ignites Change, an organization that engages high school and college students in design and architecture projects that address social issues in their own communities.

Who knew you could look fashionable with a paper-cut?
