2017 Holiday Gift Guide

DISCLOSURE: THIS IS A SPONSORED POST, IT’S THANKS TO WONDERFUL COMPANIES LIKE THESE THAT THE MAGNOLIA MOM BLOG IS ABLE TO KEEP RUNNING. THIS POST CONTAINED AFFILIATE LINKS. 
The time has come !!! My annual anticipated Holiday Gift Guide is HERE, and I am so happy to have had the pleasure of working with so many AMAZING Companies to find this years perfect guide.
Let’s jump right in, with gifts for the kiddos ! Because let’s be honest fulfilling their wishes brings so much joy.
This racetrack by KidKraft is nothing short of AMAZING ! The built in table doubles as storage and has proven itself with hours of solo play for Matthew ! Exclusively sold at Sam’s @samsclub #KidKraftKids
Definitely an awesome choice for kids 3+ when we received the box I was amazed how large the table was, it gives just the right amount of space for fast Speedway action, the tables theme is Disney Pixar’s Cars 3 (Matthew loves Cars 3) so seeing each character was really amazing for him. The table is real wood and has so many interchangeable pieces so the track is never the same, great to help build imagination and focus on re-building the track to allow the cars to run smoothly.
We adore these rockers!! Rockabye rockers are not your average rocker, they are assembled in the USA and they also play educational songs to add to the fun while the kids are rocking away !!
COLOR its the key to success for me when trying to get and keep the boys 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 ðŸ™‚ it makes it so fun to see them interacting and sharing snacks.
Let’s Jump into something FOR HIM****
Let me be honest here it’s really hard to shop for him, especially when you’ve been together for the greater part of your adulthood and have gotten him every “go too” Gift there ever was.
Ready, Set, GO!!!!! Buy him an Xtreme Experience! He will forever thank you when he gets to experience a few laps in his dream car!!!
Xtreme Experience is available nation wide throughout the year, it just so happens we will be Driving Exotic Cars At Palm Beach Intl Raceway come the weekend of Dec. 1,2 here in Florida:)
Be sure to follow along on Instagram to see us live at the Palm Beach International Raceway Driving a Dream Car with Xtreme Experience!!!
The following Gifts are for everyone!! Him, Her, Sister, Brother, Cousins…. anyone who just has it all and is worth a Unique thoughtful gift!!
Ancestry DNA Test seem to be “the thing to do” now a days and why not? The testing has become so affordable and so easy it’s just worth getting an inside look. At where we come from. I had my husband take Home DNA and we are currently awaiting the results. The process was so easy! If you did not catch my insta stories unboxing I’ll quickly go over how we started the testing journey.
The box contains 4 Test swabs, a simple information return card and a prepaid return envelope. We followed the directions swabbed the inside of his cheeks with all 4 swabs filled out the card and placed everything into the return envelope. The results will be back in about 6 weeks.
Can’t wait to learn more about his heritage not only for him but to help us form a bigger picture for our children to pass down.
If you have lost it, miss placed it or ever feared loosing it Tile It! Seriously you guys, you can not beat knowing you have a way to help find your lost or miss placed items. See our story with TileHERE.
Smile Brilliant was on my Holiday Gift Guide last year as well, I am still a huge fan!! Custom fitted whitening trays you can do at home !! 5% coupon code: magnoliamomco
So if you know someone who would appreciate a bright white smile gift Smile Brilliant! Trust me it’s worth it.
Oliday is a collection of premium quality backpacks, travel bags, and camera bags. Yes, a bag for everyone!! I use mine as a baby bag that also holds my laptop ! Double score!! You seen my Oliday Bag in our recent story with Tile.
It is water resistant and holds all the things, it has a over the shoulder strap for easy carrying and is the perfect neutral color so my husband can take it along when he takes the kids to activities or to the park.
5. WODBOM box of the month
Because fitness is one of the top New Years resolutions, I love WODBOM to Gift an easy way to help them stay motivated and ready with healthy snacks, equipment and apparel that all arrives to your doorstep every month!! #WODBOM
This one is staying with the fitness trend and keeping that new Mom or Mom to be motivated and looking good! Ollie Gray Anywhere Bra will allow her to go from Home to Work and to the Gym all with comfort and the ability to pump and feed the baby without having to change bras. I can tell you from experience this is huge and takes away the stress of thinking about why type of bra to wear.
The designs are so gorgeous!
I will always be on the lookout for fun, practical holiday gifts and deals that will arrive on time, be sure to follow along on Instagram @themagnoliamom and TURN ON NOTIFICATIONS to be sure my new post show up first in your feed! Watch insta stories for quick ideas.
Wishing you a Happy a Happy Holiday Season from my Family to yours!

Each wooden egg is so beautiful painted with the different parts of the Easter Story, the quality is superb and will last for years to come!



Matthew started taking apart the eggs one by one each time with pure excitement and joy, "There's another one, and another one!" he smiled and admired all the eggs lined up, I explained to him starting Palm Sunday after church we will begin the story and each day he will be able to open one more egg, he is filled with excitement and looking forward to hearing each part of the story.

Baby Boys Nursery Board and Batten Look

If you follow along on Instagrm @themagnoliamom you have seen bits and pieces of our dyi board and batten look going up as we get the nursery ready for our new baby boy!

The first step was of course choosing a color theme, after much discussion we chose navy, white and grey. The Navy is (Royal Navy) Valspar 

The first part of the project was to paint the top half of the walls : 

Next cut and nail molding at desired height: 
We used a 2x2 wood piece for the vertical slats we measured all pieces to 36in and nailed them in:
The next step is calking all seams nd sanding them flat. For the bottom we used high high white and wow the final outcome is just amazing !! 

That's a wrap for this room at least, our sons room is next and I am so undecided on the type of look I'd like too do for him, I am thinking something similar Mabey a different type of molding on the bottom? 
Any suggestions?
