Bedroom Christmas Decor

I started decorating for Christmas WAY earlier than normal.  I have never started before Thanksgiving but this year I decided I didn’t care and I wanted to go crazy!  I actually started with our bedroom!  I have also never decorated our bedroom for Christmas but it just made sense.  I always add trees to the kids room, why not ours?!?!?  You see, when I would always wait until after Thanksgiving I just didn’t have enough time to decorate anything else.  I am loving our current sleeping and lounging situation and I hope you do too!

I was also feeling pretty proud of myself because a lot of this decor wasn’t super expensive and it adds just the right touch!  You can shop all of it HERE.  Have you started Decking the Halls?!?!?!

XOXO,

Lissa

Christmas Cards with Basic Invite

 One of the many reasons Christmas is my favorite time of the year is because snail mail becomes a thing again!  There is nothing that puts a smile on my face more than opening cards with cute pics on them(well maybe a new handbag, lol)!!!

I am excited to say I have partnered with Basic Invite for the second time this year and couldn’t be happier with the way our Christmas Cards turned out! Continue reading…

Family Christmas Traditions

I LOVE traditions, especially when they come to the holidays!  Ever since we had kids, Dusko & I try to continue on with some of the traditions we had and of course some new ones!  But one of my very favorite traditions has and always will be Matching Pajamas!  You guys, we both worked for Old Navy for 10+ years.  You better believe we were wearing Christmas Jammies before it was actually cool!  Even my immediate family has been wearing matching Christmas PJ’s for approximately a decade.  Theres something super sweet about knowing you are going to get comfy, festive pajamas to wear for Christmas Eve!

Maxwell is pretty on board with this tradition, Emme would really rather be wearing Princess anything and clearly didn’t want to be in these pictures!!!

Shop Max & Emme’s PJ’s plus some of the decor HERE.

I think in the coming years, Jimmy(our elf) will likely be bringing the kids their matching Christmas Jammies!  Who knows, but if you don’t already here’s to hoping you start this fun tradition with your sweet families!

XOXO,

Lissa, Max, & Emme

Holiday 2019 Family Pictures

Ahhh, family pictures….Seriously, I am the first to admit they are kind of a dreaded task.  And I know Dusko hates doing them especially since my “job” is taking pictures ALL the time!!  lol.  So I tend to delay them until it’s really time because we all know we need a Christmas Card picture, ammiright?!?!?  We took a different approach this time and they were honestly really fun!  For starters, my cousin is our photographer.  So the kids love her and think she is funny.  This is super helpful to have someone that can get them to smile and giggle.  But it was legit freezing the day we took pics so we did hurry but also sang some of the kids favorite songs and truthfully just didn’t put pressure on them and I feel like they turned out great!  I mean, Emme’s expressions in a lot of these pics are simply priceless and quite honestly I would prefer that.  When we look back someday it will remind us more of our kids cute little personalities:).

Another thing I want to chat about it Family Picture Outfits.  I feel like often I hear people chatting about how hard it is.  DON’T OVERTHINK IT!  Pick one print or top and just base everything else around it.  If I’m being honest, I tend to pick my outfit first and go from there.  Just pull a color from that outfit and add to the rest of the group.  Imagine a pod of mannequins at a store.  They tend to coordinate, they are obviously going to the same party and or photoshoot!  I was happy to admit that the only outfit we bought was Emme’s Super cute jumpsuit!  Which we had bought prior to the Family Picture Outfit Selection.

 

Happy Holidays from my family to yours!

XOXO,

The Tadic Family

Mama & Mini Matching Jean Jackets

Happy FRIDAY Friends!!!

OMG, this was probably the easiest project I have ever done!  In a nutshell, I stumbled upon a super similar Mama & Mini Jacket Duo.  I had so many thoughts going through my head:  Just buy it, you guys don’t need these, omg they are SO cute, we need these, just order them, Dusko will kill you if you buy something else, lololol.  All the thoughts ladies!  So I immediately messaged my friend, IVY from IvyPinkMade (go follow her, she is AMAZING)!!!!  I knew she would be able to find similar patches for me, and guess what?!?!  She did!!!

So all I did was order the patches, wait for them, Iron them on, and ta-da!!!  Oh yea, I did decide to take them to a local embroidery shop because I was nervous the stars would fall off.  And even though they did not cost a lot at all(under $5), I like them and want to be able to wear them!

We actually already had the Jean Jackets too, but Click HERE for my exact one and a similar one to Emme’s.


Happy DIY-ing:)!!!!

XOXO,

Lissa(Mama) & Emme(Mini)

My Experience with Prime Wardrobe

Happy Friday!!!!  To be completely honest, I normally don’t love stylist/delivery boxes for myself.  For this reason, I had never tried Prime Wardrobe.  A ton of you have asked me about it and it only felt right to try it myself!  What I learned right away is that YOU can actually pick the items yourself!!!!  Yup, you can pick up to 7 items, completely free for 7 days.  The 7 days doesn’t begin until you receive the items.  You can Click Prime Wardrobe to try it out for yourself!!!  This is not limited to just women either; its for EVERYONE! How cool is that?!?!?  And if you prefer, you can get a Personal Shopper for just $4.99!!!  This is seriously so inexpensive compared to other stylist services.

Check out all the cute pieces I received!!!  I thought it would be fun to leave the black Jeans I received from my Prime Wardrobe Choices to show you that you can most definitely wear black jeans with almost anything!  If you prefer to simply shop my links for the specific items just click the picture you like and it will show you ALL the dets!

Once you decide what you want to keep, most likely ALL of it!  lol. You just go to your amazon orders and select keep or return. It honestly couldn’t be easier.  It even comes with a return UPS label and the bag can be resealed!!!  You either drop it off to UPS or call for a pickup.  #lifechanging

Prime Wardrobe is basically bringing the fitting room home to you!!!

You can always shop my Entire AMAZON Shop to see all of my favorites!!!

Can’t wait to hear you you guys think, Have a great weekend:).

 

XOXO,

Lissa
