Sweet Southern Drawl Boutique – March Monogram Madness GIVEAWAY!

March 1, 2016 by Laura Tucker 5 Comments

I’ve been doing some deep thinking here lately, y’all. I’ve been pondering, daydreaming, and brain-picking trying to figure out this one very important thing: Is there ever a time in life when having something monogrammed isn’t appropriate?

Seriously. I can’t think of any time where monograms aren’t appropriate. If you ever ask the question, “Should I monogram this?”, I can just tell you right now – the answer is always YES! I mean, why not? What better way to add a personal touch to something than to add your initials in a super cute way?

As a Southern woman, I think my love for monograms just runs naturally. Macy Spear, the owner of Sweet Southern Drawl Boutique, asks us all this: “If it isn’t monogrammed, is it even really yours?” She’s preachin’ the truth, y’all! 😉

And speaking of truth, Macy truly has some of the cutest personalized things in her Etsy shop and on her Facebook page. Just when I started drooling over her beautiful winter items, she goes and steals my heart with her sweet Spring and Summer items!

Macy sent over this monogram floppy sunhat with bow to review. Isn’t it amazing?! I truly feel beautiful every time I wear it. I know once this cold weather leaves Alabama I’ll be wearing this hat non stop!

The sunhats are available to purchase here for just $28. You even get to choose the fabric color and monogram font! If you plan on spending any time in the sun at all this summer, do yourself a favor and pick up one of these hats. You’ll be basking in the shade and turning heads for sure!SouthernDrawl4-4

To pair perfectly with the sun hat, this monogram beach towel, beach/lake spikers and drink koozie are all calling my name!

 If you’re looking for the perfect gift to give someone, you really need to be shopping at  Sweet Southern Drawl Boutique! Monogrammed gifts are perfect for birthdays, Christmas gifts, graduates, bridesmaids, brides-to-be, etc.

I Can’t Even! {But He Can} Tote from OriginaliteeToo

February 11, 2016 by Laura Tucker 46 Comments

I received these products at no cost to facilitate my review. However, all thoughts and opinions expressed are completely my own.

This past Sunday, I had a discussion with a few 4-6th grade students in my Sunday school class about sharing the Word of God with other people. I asked them to tell me a few different ways that we can share Christ with others. They were very quick to tell me that there are numerous ways to do it – and very simple ways to do it at that. They were full of wonderful examples and fabulous ideas. They’re very creative!  But then I turned the tables a little bit on them and elevated the conversation.

“So, why do we have so many excuses as to why we don’t do all of the things you all mentioned?” I said. There was silence. I could tell the wheels in their heads were turning. I may have struck a nerve, but the biggest nerve that was struck in that room was my own. They had several different answers to my question, ranging from things such as being intimidated, fear of rejection, not feeling qualified, fear of offending, etc. It seemed to me that a lot of our excuses (including in my own life) boiled down to having some sort of fear about something. I have been allowing fear to sweep over my life, telling me over and over that “I can’t”.

“I can’t do this, because…”. How many times have I said this in my life?…

Dreaming of Disney +$500 Disney Gift Card Giveaway!

February 2, 2016 by Laura Tucker Leave a Comment

$500 Disney Gift Card Giveaway!

I’ve been to Disney World three times in my life. The first time I was a baby, the second time I was 5 years old, and the third time I was 11. Unfortunately, I only remember just a few bits and pieces of the trip I took when I was 11, and that was in 2000 or 2001!

I am dreaming of the day I get to take my little girl to Disney World for the first time. She’s only 8 months old right now, but in a few more years I think we’ll be ready for our first trip. I cannot wait to see the twinkle in her eye as she meets the Mickey Mouse for the first time like I did. I can envision the magic that fills her heart when she sees the Disney princesses dancing and singing in real life. Ahh, I get chills!
