She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not: Serenity Now

Today we're hearing from one of the most genuine, fabulous mom's, Amanda, from Serenity Now. She never fails to brighten my day! Her youngest daughter's name is also Michaela {& spelled the same...so rare!}, so we instantly bonded. Let's see what she's loving and what she's not...

She Loves Me:

1. Affordable Spring Fashion
I'm a stay-at-home mom, so I need something that's cute but also budget-friendly. Love this look from Old Navy:


2. Fun, Flirty Trends
I love me some big earrings! An instant lift to most outfits. I dig this pair from Stella & Dot:


3. Technology
My DVR...I'm not sure how I survived the Dark Ages without one. If I miss Grey's Anatomy, the earth could spin off its axis. Or maybe I'd just be really ticked for a few minutes. Either way, it would stink.


4. Toys
Lately, I've been having all sorts of crafty fun with my Silhouette machine. I'm even hosting a Crafty Cutter link party this week on my blog.


Loves Me Not:

1. Insincere blog comments.
I can totally tell when you copy and paste "Cute! Come to my blog and follow me." on 67 different blogs. If you leave me an interesting comment, the chances are much more likely that we will become friends.

2. Ugly shoes
There is too much fabulousness going on out there for you to be seen wearing these:

3. Boring Facebook Status Updates
Entertain me! You can do better than give me a running list of what you ate for breakfast and the errands you'll be running this morning.

Big thanks to you, Michaela, for sharing your blog with me today! You have the sweetest attitude and great style. I wish I could get my hair to look like yours, but I will settle for reading your tutorials.
Hope you all will come and visit me at Serenity Now!

Be sure to go say hello to the sweet Amanda! You'll find some hilarious and creative posts on how to stay sane as a mama. Her girls are adorable, and equally as funny. Also, be sure to join her fun weekend bloggy reading party-- it's a great way to meet new friends!

Happy Wednesday!

Love and xoxo,

    Michaela, I love your blog. Pretty sure I'm going to have to start following. :) I wanted to thank you for reading about my project on Modern Jane and for leaving a comment. As a new blogger, I sooo appreciate that! And, the chair is fairly comfortable - just not soft like velvet anymore.

    Thank you so much for the feature, Michaela! I have to admit that I also have ONE pair of those ugly shoes...but they do not have faux fur and I only wear them when I'm gardening--like Rachel said, you can hose them off.

    Fun to read these comments. :)

    I think from one SAHM to another, we could be twins. Three cheers for the LOVES and the LOVE NOT's. Except for the DVR...I don't even have satellite. Amazingly, I'm still alive. ;)

    As soon as I get a chance to escape all my motherly, wifely, businessly (wow - that's not even a word) things I have to do...I'll be hoppin' on over to say "Hola!" ;)
