Adding Color Makes Meals Fun! With Re -Play Recycled

Note: I was kindly sent the products featured in this post. It’s thanks to wonderful sponsors like these that The Magnolia Mom Blog is able to keep running! All opinions are my own. The Magnolia Mom Blog is a proud Re-Play Recycled Partner. 

COLOR its the key to success for me when trying to get and keep the bays attention, LOOK how fun these Re-Play Recycled sets are ! Jacob is now at the age where he can start sitting with his brother at the "Kids" Table at least for snack time :) it makes it so fun to see them interacting and sharing snacks. 

On the menu this morning was Pumpkin Bread, Raisins & Chia Seed Vanilla Yogurt! Re-Play is an amazing company, in fact Re-Play plates, bowls, utensils, and cups are made out of recycled HDPE plastic – basically that means milk jugs! 

Supporting companies that make a conscious decision to make a difference is very important to me, this is why I am proud to announce our new partnership with Re-Play Recycled, plates, bowls, utensils, and cups you will see us using from now on. 

The Colors you see here are from the BOLD collection you can find so many different colors perfect to fit any decor or style!

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year!!! I hope you all had a wonderful week with friends & family. I took time away from social media this Holiday Season to fully enjoy the magic of Christmas time though my Boy's eyes, with Matthew being 2.5 and it being Jacob's first Christmas I did not want to miss a second.

I have tones of exciting things going on with the blog this year, we have a giveaway with Smile Brilliant to start your new off with a Bright White Smile, we have also partnered with another great brand! Stay in touch for more on that Via Instagram @themagnoliamom and Facebook /themagnoliamom

Here are some pictures of our family of 4!

My New Years Resolutions are very simple this year.

1. Live in the Now  - I feel like life has been going 100MPH and I just want to enjoy each minute of everyday with my boys.

2. Take care of Me - This one is hard for me, I am always taking care of others before myself always my kids and my Husband of course, but others like Family and Friends always seem too come before me too and this year I will be taking a little more time too get my hair done, go for a relaxing day at the spa even waking up early to get dressed up even on the days I have no where to go! ;)

3. Be the Best Mom I Can Be! Motherhood is Tough, I just want to be the best Mom I Can Be!


I hope you all had a blessed Holiday Season and have a Happy New Year !!

Christmas 2015

Another year, another wonderful Christmas. And we are so sad that it's over!

Our festivities started early Christmas Eve morning, with a day full of picking up loved ones from the airport wrapping presents & baking with mom. Matthew was having all sorts of fun with his Uncles and Grandpa outside since it was so warm! of course there was no naps on Christmas Eve or Christmas day but it was over looked with all the wonderful memories being made. We also attended the Austin Trail of Lights in Zilker Park this year for the first time, we had a great time! 2015 was such an amazing year for us and we are looking forward to 2016 being so much fun as we will start featuring some of our favorite small businesses and Etsy shops #shopsmall !

I hope you all had an amazing holiday weekend, filled with lots of love & happiness.
