Gringos GIVEAWAYIf you were stranded on an island what are three things you would need? For me, all I would need is a blanket, some water, and chips + salsa from Gringos Tex Mex. AS you can see from above, we are quite fond of Gringos. At the beginning of the week, Jason and I got to have a quick day date while the kids were looked after, and we could not think of a better location. It was the perfect little escape. We had to be fast, so we ordered our El Club margaritas, queso, and a sampler to share. I think the best of it all, was our entire lunch (with alcohol) was under $40. That, you can't beat! Because spring is right around the corner, which mean margaritas will be on every Texans mind, Gringos and I thought it would be awesome if we offered one lucky winner a $50 Gift Card! All you have to do is Follow StrawberryTwinsLane and Gringos on Instagram, tag as many friends as you'd like, and share the Gringos post! We will pick a winner Feb 28. GIVEAWAY - $50 Gift Card with Gringos Tex MexWhile I love everything from Hallmark/Day Spring's company Mary and Martha, the items below are my Top 10 absolute favorites! These items will help you share Joy in your home, as a gift, or wherever you feel the need to use them. The quality of Mary and Martha is outstanding and the price point is so ON POINT! And note, The wood items you see in the catalog or online are made of Acacia Wood, which the Ark was made out of! How cool is that?! God, chose this wood for the Ark because it was (Is) beautiful, and extremely sturdy. All of my Top 10 picks are shoppable, or you can shop the entire collection at the link below. I also always want to mention, that if you are looking for a part time job, a helpful business to retire with, or just need to help fill your home and your community with Fresh Joy, come work with us! You will be filled with a love from like minded women who simply want to share life and have a mission in their heart to serve God.
Let's be honest, we all think we are professional photographers at this point. I even have my own camera! But, there is something about stepping away from our phones and personal cameras, and letting a real professional capture your magic.
When driving up to Shannons session, Jason and I were honestly bribing Jaxon with the promise of donuts, if this session went well. You really never know how things are going to turn out with a 4 year old and 1 year old. But, I have to give all of the credit to Shannon. As soon as we stepped into her studio, we completely felt at home. She was very welcoming, made the kids feel so special, and her portraits around the studio make you want to be in them. They are gorgeous! Because this was a mini session, we did a few shots inside and a few outside. The location of her studio is perfect for either occasion. I love that! Her studio is set up for all types of home decor styles and her endless selection of prints makes her session affordable for all incomes. If you are in the Houston/Spring/The Woodlands area, she is definitely one to seek out. Also, when you mention @strawberrytwinslane, you will receive 10% off your session! For More Information

Collaboration with Smile BrilliantHave you ever fallen in love with a toothbrush? I honestly did not think such a thing was possible until today. Before the CariPro Electric Toothbrush, I felt as if I needed to brush my teeth every hour of every day. I chewed gum in hopes my breath didn't stink, and I had a bad habit of picking at my teeth on camera. With the CariPro Electric Toothbrush, I feel as if I just left the dentist after every brushing, I'm no longer worried about my breath, and I smile on camera as if I just won the lottery! The CariPro Electric Toothbrush is by far the best clean my teeth have ever been. They are also much whiter due to the White mode that removes surface stains.
The Smile Brilliant CariPro Electric Toothbrush has 5 brush modes (clean, white, massage, gum care, sensitive), an auto-interval smart timer for even & timed brushing, it's waterproof, and even comes with a wireless charger doc. Not to mention its sleek design that makes it easy to grasp. It is cost friendly and comes with two brush heads which keeps you going for quite a while. Here is the best part. They are offering my amazing readers 20% off and a chance to win the CariPro Electric Toothbrush free! Below is the coupon code and the link to enter.

Fall Season Must Haves
Fall is my most favorite season. Football starts in September, my birthday is in October, we Give Thanks and unselfishly stuff our faces with family and friends in November, and then we celebrate the birth of Christ in December with Christmas! There are just so many things to be thankful for this season, which is why I make sure I am geared up and prepared for all of all social opportunities.
Here are my absolute "Must Haves" (all linked)
1. Frye Boots
As soon as the temperature drops in September my Fry Boots are on my feet. They are so soft, comfortable, and give every outfit that Fall feel. I wear them with jeans, leggings, dresses, and even skirts. They truly are my number one 'Fall Must Have'.
2. Mrs. Meyer's Fall Seasonal Kit
What makes your home feel more in season than a perfect Fall scent? The Grove Collaboration has the perfect combination of cleaning supplies, personal care products, and household products to help keep your home clean and smelling amazing. It's definitely a "Mum" favorite! ( Get it? You will... wink wink)
3. Baby Immune Support + Vitamins
This is a "must" for Mom's with little ones. Fall brings school, school bring germs, germs bring home Hand Foot and Mouth disease (Yuck!). The best we can do for our babies when sending them off to school, is to make sure they are taking care of their hygiene and load their little bodies up with every possible defense. That is why I love Zarbees Immune + Vitamin support. Not only does it provide their little bodies with a daily vitamin, it is also loaded with vitamin C to help battle those "Back to School" germs.
4. Leggings
We've all seen that, "I don't have to shave, it's legging season" meme on social media and thought ,"YEP!" We may not admit it in person, but that mean is definitely speaking the truth. I've owned my fair share of leggings, but the ones from Matilda Jane come at a whole new level. They pull in all of my mom fluff, breath, and seriously are the most comfortable things I've ever put on. They also go perfectly with my Frye boots. They are a "Win, Win"
5. Dark Nail Polish
Who doesn't love to feel pampered and refreshed with a new nail color? As soon as September hits, I am off to the nail salon, or searching on Amazon for that perfect "Bring me into the Fall Spirit" color.
6. Game Day Tee
If you are in the South, there is noting better about Fall than the season of Football. Every Monday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, I am hunting for a game day tee. Oliver & Otis has the cutest selection of tees, tanks hats, and more. They are a sister based company in Dallas, TX and are seriously the cutest representation of the south.
7. Wine
As the days get shorter, nights become longer, and the weather is changing; so does your pallet. In the summer, we tend to lean more towards salads, fish, and "light on the tummy" drinks. When Fall hits, our cravings gear up for sports food, fall harvests, and darker liquids. Wine.com Is the perfect "go to" for seasonal wines. They put you through a pallet test that best determines your current cravings, what season you are in, and what wines you will simply love. They promote 4 bottles for $40 and they have some of the best wines I have ever tasted. If you socialize as much as I do in the Fall season, they have to be on your shopping list.
8. Cardigans
As I have mentioned before, It doesn't become cool here in Texas until much later in the year. But, when you are out and about the restaurants will crank up the AC to help your taste buds crave the seasonal foods. Needless to say, it is freezing inside and hotter than the devils couch outside. So, cardigans are a must around here. You can wear a tank underneath them but still keep your arms warm when sitting down for dinner or shopping for groceries. Magnolia has such a cute selection of outerwear for women of all ages and their quality is outstanding. I love their cardigan pictured because I can pair it with my Fry boots and Matilda Jane leggings and feel gorgeous in whatever the day may bring.
9. Hair Care
The buns come down, the curls come out, and the teasing is in full force during the Fall Season. Amazon provides an endless selection of beauty needs at a discounted price and everything is at your door in 2 days without paying for shipping. The products you find in my "Beauty" section on Amazon are my absolute favorites. They make my hair look thicker, the beach wave curls stay in all day, and I am confident when walking out the door after prepping for the day with them. They complete my look, and I know they can do the same for you.
10. Fall Home Decor
If it's not Amazon it is Pier One who I am running to for Seasonal Decor. They have the best selection of Table Top, Floral, and Pillow decor. Everything is paired with "In season" colors and at a discounted price. I also love that you can shop online and pick up in store! The Lord knows that helps the mom's of little ones out.
11. Jean Jacket
Don't let the fact that this selection is last fool you. Jean jackets go with everything and are so adorable in the Fall. You can wear it with your Frye boots, Game Day tee, leggings... everything! Lucky Brands jean jacket is timeless, amazing quality, and so adorable. If you don't have one, is a need. I am so excited to say that we have teamed back up with Mary and Martha, a Day Spring and Hallmark company. Mary and Martha provides home decor, gifts, and kids products with a mission to share life together. On August 1, they launched their 2018 Fall line, as well as, their new baby line. Here are some of our favorites. (All Images are clickable) Customer Favoritespersonal favorites
