This week has been really fun. Hubby came home yesterday from tour, the little juicy Plum is becoming so talkative and comes up with the cutest things that I can hardly stand it. Like the other morning as I was changing her, she said “Good morning diaper, how are you!?” I mean, what? Too cute for words. I’m looking forward to a nice family weekend reconnecting and just hanging out with my favorite two people on earth. Here is a list o’links of things we’ve been digging on the interweb this week.

Mother’s Day Gift Guide

PlumJoyful — Thu, 05 May 2016 07:09:22 +0000

Things have been very busy over here at Casa Plum, so I apologize for the fact that this gift guide is rather late, but I assure you that the shipping on these awesome gifts can be expedited to get to you in time for Mama’s day! Now that I’m a mama I have a new found love and respect for this beautiful day. I have a real appreciation for my own mother now that I have a daughter, and I want to let her know how truly grateful I am for her and all that she sacrificed for me. I now truly know just how much she loves me, and I probably owe her an apology for the decade between 12 and 22. At the very least I hope some of these awesome gifts will atone for my teenage years. I want all mama’s to feel pampered and appreciated on this special day so this guide was created with that in mind. 1. Muriel Brandolini Beach Mattress– I love the beach with all my heart. I’m a Cali girl through and through. But sometimes laying on the sand can be uncomfortable after a while. I especially find this to be true […]

We began the process of cleaning out our homes, starting with uncluttering our closets. Now it is time to turn our attention to what just might be the most important area of all. The one in most need of cleaning, but also the most overlooked. The mind. Here are six incredible podcasts to inspire you and support you on your spring cleaning journey.

Favorite brands + shops from Babyccino Shop Up

PlumJoyful — Fri, 15 Apr 2016 17:23:07 +0000

The Babyccino Shop Up was this past weekend and it was awesome! I found a bunch of new brands and stores that are in perfect line with the Plum Joyful philosophy of a healthy, vibrant and stylish life. Here is a recap of the wonderful event for those of you who didn’t make it out, and some of my new favorite things for baby. First off the event was held at the spectacular Lombardi House, both in their amazing barn and around the grounds. They had amazing refreshments for everyone in the family. Moon Juice for mama, Incredible Acai breakfast bowls from Amaze Bowls for Papa, and Sprinkles cupcakes for baby Plum ( I didn’t let her have one, but she was perfectly happy with the Organic Guava banana fruit pouch from Happy Baby that they were also giving out). Not to mention a Coolhaus Ice cream truck. Once we were well fueled it was time to shop. Here are the brands/shops that I loved the most and couldn’t get enough of. Kalon Kalon is the company that makes our crib which I absolutely love. It has been a favorite of mine for a while now, and they have these […]
