God’s Timing Holly Lane Necklace

I can’t tell you how thankful I was to have an opportunity to review Holly Lane Christian Jewelry. Holly Lane is handmade sterling silver jewelry created to spark conversation about Christ. Just to give you some history, Holly Lane is a quaint street in Virginia where Founder & Artist Tiffany Scott discovered her passion for creating verse inspired jewelry. Holly Lane pieces have been handcrafted from fine silver clay, molded and cast into sterling silver; precious just like the soul wearing it.

Tiffany’s hope is that your jewelry will be something more than just an accessory. She hopes it will be a reminder of God’s Word and a way to have genuine conversations with others about Jesus – how he heals, restores and redeems. When I visited the Holly Lane website to shop for my jewelry, I was immediately pleased because you can shop by jewelry category but, also by bible verse. As I was browsing, I read the bible verses and paid attention to what I was naturally drawn to.

The God’s Timig Necklace was my top choice! It spoke to me and I know a thing or two about waiting on God. I loved the verse that went along with it… “Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord! Psalm 27:14 The necklace design is a sterling silver pocket watch with the hands of the clock shaped like a cross, and Teal cluster reminding you to trust in him as you wait. Take courage and know that in His perfect timing He will reveal what is to come.

Once I placed my order it was shipped quickly, and I received tracking updates the entire time up to the day it was delivered to me. I really appreciate that I was able to receive email updates to track the shipping progress. The shipping box lets you know it’s handmade in the heart of Virginia with Proverbs 3:5 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart.” right on the front. Once I received the package, I was eager to open it! It was packed so pretty with a personalized note inside.

I also received a “Be Still” Psalm 46:10 sticker inside the box along with some literature to give me some background on Holly Lane Christian Jewelry. My God’s Timing Necklace is 20” Rolo Chain in length, pocket watch pendant with Psalm 27:14 on the back. It’s .925 Sterling Silver and made right here in the USA. You also have necklace extenders available if you need extra length. You have a variety of jewelry to choose from Charms, Necklaces, Rings, Bracelets, Earrings, Slides and Sterling Chains.

In my personal experience waiting on God is always worth the wait and exceeds anything you imagined. I’m at a point in my life where I I’ve been transitioning and was afraid of change and what’s to come. When I FINALLY let go and focused my energy on other things and put my worries at the foot of the cross and truly gave it to God, I started to see things change in my favor and I was no longer fearful because I truly let go and showed God that I believe in him and my faith was bigger than my fear.

Visit the Holly Lane website and let me know what piece of christian jewelry and bible verse stands out to you!

This necklace symbolizes that I can be courageous in trusting God and in his perfect timing he’ll reveal what’s to come while I stand in my faith while waiting. I have testimonies! #WontHeDoIt

A Christmas Story Bunny Union Suit Pajama

I’m usually cold and am wrapped in a blanket or wearing sweatpants, socks & t-shirt. I can’t tell you how excited I was to choose my favorite Pajama Suit from Ugly Christmas Sweater.com. The temperature has been in the nineties and I keep the AC running to cool down the house but, I still wrap up. My ceiling fan stays on in my bedroom and I sleep under a blanket. It’s the perfect combination to ME! I just came back from vacation and in between my brothers’ home and the hotel it stayed COOL!

I had my officially licensed A Christmas Story Bunny Union Suit Pajama in tow, so I wouldn’t be cold. It was so comfortable and I slept like a baby. It’s a soft 1 zip bunny union suit, the hood comes with bunny ears and removable slippers. The size goes from small to extra-large. This Bunny Union Suit Pajama brings back fun memories and some of my favorite scenes for the A Christmas Story Movie. I cracked up when Ralphie opened his gift from Aunt Clara and didn’t like it but, his mom insisted that he try it on.

Ralphie’s dad said he looks like a “pink nightmare” and convinced his mom to let him take it off and only wear it when aunt Clara comes around. The A Christmas Story Bunny Suit Pajama doubles as a costume that you can wear for Halloween or a Pajama Party. I don’t need to wrap up when I’m wearing my Bunny Union Suit Pajama, especially when my hands and feet are covered. There’s a variety of Christmas Pajama jumpsuit themes to choose from.

It’s pink, unisex, 100% polyester and long sleeve. Don’t you want your own Christmas Pajama Jumpsuit or gift it to someone? If so, I’ve got you covered!

Style Up for School with Osh Kosh B’gosh

This post is sponsored by Everywhere Agency on behalf of Osh Kosh B’gosh; however, all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own. #StyleUp4School

I think shopping for back to school clothing has easily become one of my sons’ favorite things to do. He likes to shop for himself in general but as he’s gotten older he has gained more independence in certain areas. He’s encouraged to express his personal style by picking out his own clothing while I’m on the sideline to give him my feedback and help guide him while shopping. My son has pretty good sense of style and pairs his clothes very well so I don’t say much. I just keep him within his budget while shopping.

We recently visited our local Osh Kosh B’gosh store for some back to school shopping and took advantage of some of the great deals up to %50 off on select items. My son took the lead and he immediately went to the graphic tees which are $5.00 all sizes. It’s a Doorbuster deal! He picked out two of his favorite designs that totally match his personality. I love the “I’d rather be gaming” tee because that’s so him! He also got the bull dog tee that says “Sup Dude?” Again… totally my son!

Next Up… we ventured over to the jeans and got into the debate about what style jeans to get. I like the classic jeans design which is not too skinny or slouchy and he likes the straight cut design from hip to ankle. I let him have his way and he got exactly what he wanted. The jeans were $12.00. Jeans are also a doorbuster deal. You can take advantage of the deal and help gear kids up with the B’gosh Jeanius Campaign by donating a new pair of jeans or cash contribution in-store or online through September 18th.

B’gosh Jeanius has also partnered with DonorsChoose.org to help students and teachers thrive this year. I’ll be donating $50.00 to a project of my choice and encourage you to participate as well.

100% of your contribution benefits the children Osh Kosh B’gosh & Carter’s serve. The Carter’s Charitable Foundation will match all cash donations up to $50,000 and all denim donations with an item of clothing. Learn more about the B’gosh Jeanius Campaign. We weren’t finished shopping yet, we looked at the uniform polos and he chose a couple of them along with a pair of uniform shorts. There was also another hooded knit top that he just had to have in his wardrobe closet.

Osh Kosh B’gosh allows you to mix it up with clothing. We were able to come up with several different looks using the jeans, uniform shorts, graphic tees, polos and hooded knit top. They fit my son comfortably and look so good. He’s definitely styling and profiling is his Osh Kosh B’gosh wear displaying his sharp personality. As always we had a great shopping experience and I’m sure we’ll be back sooner than later. He’s definitely an Osh Kosh Kid and really loves their clothing selection.
