What Moms Love {Weekly}

by

This week I am featuring Rebekah of Your Mom Designs {she makes some fabulous kid stuff herself} and some of what she loves for Fall.  Here is what she is loving:

this week i am loving the anticipation of fall arriving, the excitement of little minds learning new things in school and the simple joy of making a baby giggle as often as possible.
1. i’m a fan of a good cup of coffee year round, but there is something about a hot cup of coffee on a cool fall morning that really starts my day off right, and as the only coffee drinker in my house i find the aeropress makes a really beautiful single cup of coffee.

 

2. with fall approaching i can’t help but look forward to cozy layers in rich colors, and love this hoody by Boden in indigo with a floral print.

 

3. my little girl wears a uniform to school, which actually seems to make our morning routine a slight bit easier, but i do think it’s important to give her some options for expressing her own style, so we are doing our best to acquire/make cute hair bows and this wool felt bow by LoftFullOfGoodies  on Etsy is such a unique style.

 

4.  i love the various products Kids Konserve sells for packing lunches, snacks and drinks, the designs are bold and graphic and safe at the same time.

How about you? What are you loving this week?

Want to be featured on Mommy Kudos? Here on Mommy Kudos I do a weekly “What Mom’s Love” blog post and I share what I have loved about my week and include some of my favorite finds of the week for moms, babies and kids.  I thought it would be fun to also share what other moms love.  So I thought I would give you the opportunity to join in the fun.  Here’s what I would need from you if you’d like to do it:

1. What did you love about your week? You can read some of my prior posts for ideas if you want but generally it is the special moments in your week with your child(ren).

2. A picture of you (preferably with your kids or the child that is the age you are wanting to recommend items for)

3. A list of 4- 10 of your favorite baby/kid/mom items (pick a theme like an age or stage, a specific thing like nursery or diaper bag must haves, trip entertainment, safe kid toys, etc…)

4. Pictures of the items if you can find them/have them (if not I can get them)

5. If you blog or have an Etsy store or other site (not a requirement) send me the name and link so I can link to you.

Use the Subject “What Moms Love Weekly” and Email it all to me at: Kristin@MommyKudos.com.  If you are including lots of pictures please send them a few at a time in individual emails.  If you know someone else who may like to be featured please feel free to pass along this information to them.

An ebook for Moms who have Lost a Baby

by

I’ve taken quite a break from blogging this Summer and one of the reasons for that was to work on an eBook.  Several years ago I lost a baby after having pregnancy complications.  I ended up giving birth prematurely at 25 weeks and my son lived for 6 hours before he died.

The loss was devastating and heart breaking.  It was the hardest thing I have ever had to go through.

I wrote the eBook out of my own experience of healing because my desire, while grieving the loss of my son, was that my heart would heal completely.  I knew that I would always miss him but that it would honor him deeply if I would grieve fully and allow my heart to be healed completely so that I could become all that I was meant to be.

The eBook, Empty Arms, Hope-Filled Heart, is a prayer, from my heart, of hope and healing for the woman who has lost a child (whether that be a miscarriage, stillbirth, infant or child death).  I learned a lot during my own loss about where God is in our losses and how He sees them.  I was deeply comforted by Him and given so much hope.  I pray the same thing for you too.  God’s Word has a lot to say about death and grief and it’s full of love and comfort.

I’d love for you to check out the eBook, especially if you have experience a loss of your own.  If you haven’t you may know of someone who has and this ebook is a perfect gift that will speak right to her heart.  The book is available in both PDF and a paperback version.  Read much more about it here.

I’ll be back to regular blogging soon!
