Cheers To All The Mamas! {Giveaway}

Okay fellow mamas - this one's for you! Last week we met up for a little lunch date, and to browse through one of our favorite local boutiques, Findlay Rowe. The school year is in full swing, and we decided we needed a little carb and retail therapy to get us through the end part of the week. Findlay Rowe is the perfect place to get a little shopping fix in. From fashion to home decor - and lots of goodies in between - there is a little something for everyone!

We've chatted about this little gift shop a ton, and we've gotten to know Barbara and Audrey pretty well over the years. We just adore them. If you are in the Roswell, GA area definitely pop in for a visit.

Plus it's conveniently located across from a Target. Talk about a dangerous (in an oh so amazing way) combo. If you can't get a little endorphin retail boost between the two, nothing is going to help you.

We browsed and chatted away happily. It's amazing what a little girlfriend time can do to help alleviate school year stress. During the week we are both single moms. From 6:00a.m. to 10p.m. (or later now that middle school has come into play) we are go, go, GO! We enjoy this season of life, but it is chaotic with three kids a piece. We wrote out our daily schedules once a long time ago on the blog. If we did that now, it would exhaust you just reading it.

We know we aren't the only ones! Talking to other moms, we know we are all in the same boat. Whether your husband travels or not. Whether you work full time, part time, are the one traveling, or stay at home. Whether you are the homework helper, the dinner maker, the dinner picker up (fist bump), actual food source for your babies, the after school taxi, the get up in the middle of the night scary dream caretaker, the rush through rush hour parent before daycare closes, the coach, the PTA president, the room mom, or one of the other millions of roles that comes with parenting. We are all in that parenting boat floating in a sea of chaos trying not to tip over because, let's be honest, that's just one more outfit we would have to wash. 

Motherhood is rewarding and challenging all at the same time. Our recipe for survival: good girlfriends and an excellent bottle of wine. Sometimes two if it's been one of "those" days. If throw up has been involved, skip the wine and head straight for the tequila. No judgment here. 

Listen, everyone has their coping mechanisms. Meditating, reading, going to the gym - we all have something to help get us by. And while all those things are amazing, burpees just don't seem to make learning (yes, we said learning) and explaining common core math or the Pythagorean theorem quite as fun as cold, fruity goodness poured in stemless glass. 

As we were shopping, we couldn't help but be drawn to all the fun wine items Findlay Rowe had on hand. We had a good laugh at some of the fun tags, glassware, and cocktail napkins they had on hand.  

We just had to grab a few fun things for ourselves, and some others for our girlfriends as gifts! 

They also had a huge selection of wine accessories and openers on hand. We absolutely loved this Corkcicle wine chiller.

It will especially come in handy those days you don't have time to refrigerate your newly purchased vino in between grocery shopping, carpooling to soccer practice, hammering out 15 emails, and paper mâchéing the social studies project due the next day.

And while on the subject of cooling products, we realized the good people of Corksicle and Swig just seem to understand a mommy's inner needs, wants and desires. 

Not only do they make adorable cups and can huggers in an array of gorgeous colors, but they make these little  large beauties...

Yes, you read that right. A full 50 oz of wine. Just like we teach our preschoolers, sharing is caring. You'll be new besties with all the fellow moms in the bleachers with one of those.
