A big fat Christmas thank you to Nordstrom who always makes giveaways like this possible! We love you Nordstrom!
And speaking of which…I’m going to wrap up my week by sharing a few of my favorite things from Nordstrom’s kids department…starting with their kids shoes.
I’ve said it four billion times…I really only love buying my kids’ shoes at Nordstrom.
1: I love the free shipping and free returns because let’s face it…I rarely have time (or the desire) to take my four kids shoe shopping. Between school and after school activities, I just do not want to spend our time and energy doing that…so instead, I order them online and we can try them on at home at our convenience and then, I can just return the shoes if they don’t work at my own leisure.
2: If my kids have ANY problems with the shoes, Nordstrom will return or exchange them. Kids shoes are so tricky if there are any problems with them, Nordstrom will make it right.
3: The variety of shoes is fantastic. From athletic to dress shoes and everything in-between, they have what we need.
Ashby’s Patent Shoes//Kensington’s Flats (now 40% off!)//Madeley’s Patent Shoes
I bought the girls all church shoes to wear this winter. I mean…how sweet are they?!? And speaking of sweet…
How sweet is Miss Ashby in her Christmas tree dress?!?!
She looks so BIG here. Why do they have to grow up?!?! I paired her dress with her favorite little Mini Melissa shoes…
…Madeley has some too 🙂 . By the way, Ashby was super pumped about the pockets in her vest! Bahahahaha!
And pssssst: Ashby’s vest is from Boden last year, click HERE to see this year’s version.
To see some of my other favorite things from Nordstrom’s Kids’ Department, just scroll and click (including toys!!)…
And I couldn’t wrap up my post today without showing you this one last cardigan (because it arrived at my door yesterday and am in love!)…
Isn’t it cute?! It comes in both black and white and is so incredibly soft! I just threw it over this tee and added my new favorite flat booties and was ready to go! (Don’t forget, my booties come in 11 colors!)
Open Cardigan, Tee, Booties…my uniform :).
And here’s another pic of my booties that I posted last Friday…
And then this happened on Sunday…
…sweet Ebby Lee and Kensington sang during our church’s Christmas program. I uploaded a video that you can view HERE.
We are just so proud of these girls! They are both on the shy side, so for them to do this was HUGE deal. They decided to audition and we were so excited. Really, our hearts could not be more full.
And a shot of Smith in the choir too 🙂 .
That’s it for our fifth and final day of Five Days of Fabulous! Don’t forget to enter the Rafflecopter below to win today’s HUGE prize!!
Best of luck and happy weekend!

Sherry Smith says
Thank you for the opportunity to win! I can’t believe I can’t pin the image. My technology skills were not in full swing this morning. I tried clicking on pin this
Mage but when I tried to add to board in Pinterest it said image is not valid. Strange!
Mix and Match Mama says
Click on the pinterest board link (I have it highlighted!) and then you can just pin as usual!
Sherry Smith says
Ok thank you! I was able to pin it from the link. 🙂
Jenny says
Ashby’s Christmas dress is the cutest! I miss the days when my kids would wear what I would tell them to wear (or when I could dress them).

Anne says
I just wanted to let you know that intially, I visited your blog because you were Sean’s sister (sorry!…). But as time went on, I kept finding myself going back to your blog because either I needed a receipe, wanted to find out how your family was doing/ up to, get fashion inspiration, get your take on many subjects, … So all this to say that
I really admire the way that you open your heart and share your experiences. Reading about your two adoptions, infertility and how you just do life inspires me to be a better person. It really has. Thank you for sharing, inspiring and bringing joy to me and many other readers as well I’m sure! May god bless you and your family. Merry Christmas from Canada!
Leslie H. says
Shay, can you tell me where you got the polka dot leggings your little girls are wearing in the top picture? I’m doing a confetti birthday party for my daughter and those would be perfect.
Thanks!
Leslie

Hello from Minnesota! I read your blog and check your instagram pics every morning while I’m getting my kids off to school. You are such an up-beat person and I love all the good vibes I get from reading each day. I contacted you about 3 years ago for a suggestion to a hotel at WDW and we took your advice and it was the best time ever! Thanks for the great give away opportunities!

That vest Ashby is wearing…. love! And searching for pockets. The duet was so wonderful to see and hear. I thoroughly enjoy your blog. Thank you for the chance to win.
