Freshen Up Your Home For Spring

While some are big on spring cleaning, there’s no better time to take on some quick and easy decorating projects to lighten up, and freshen up your home. Here are a few ideas to get you started! Have you ever gone to a fabric store and wanted to take home all of them? Remnants that are too small (or too bold) for upholstery look great in frames. Same goes...

Meet the Moms behind Moxy & Main

This Mother’s Day weekend we’re shutting off our computers, turning off our phones (well, at least for a little bit…) and taking out the camera and enjoying our families. As we are a 24/7 365 company, we wanted to stop and introduce you to our team of fiercely fabulous moms who work their butts off to get you deals, information and events around your town. We’re so excited to continue...

Baby Milestone: The Grand Stand!

On average, a baby will start to pull up to stand on his own at around 8 month as this is about when his torso and leg muscles are strong enough for this new task. As every child is different, some will do this a bit sooner and some a bit later - and both are completely ok. Guess when they like to practice this skill? At naptime! This...

The Family-Friendly Home

As an assistant designer at Alexis Givens Interiors, much of my job revolves around helping to create spaces that are beautiful and elegant but still functional for our clients who have kids. The parents we work with want a home they’re proud to live and entertain in, but they don’t want to worry about expensive lamps breaking or delicate fabrics getting torn or drawn on. As a mom to...

We’re Obsessed: Destiny Candle!

  Destiny Candle is a three-for-one treat. We had the pleasure of trying Desinty Candle’s, “Amore;” which is their coconut/vanilla scent. The tropical smell is intoxicating and will have you feeling relaxed in no time. This is not just any candle though; each candle is made with a special essential oil blend that will have you feeling extra Moxy. As the wax melts it turns into the oil, which can be...

Forget Winter With A Flower Pick-Me-Up

Measles!: Straight Talk from Kryssie Woods, M.D.

We are fortunate to live in a time & place where we don’t know what a lot of vaccine-preventable diseases (like measles) actually look like. We are also blissfully unaware of the severe disabilities that are often consequences of those illnesses. Before the recent news reports about measles, if someone stopped you on the street to ask what the symptoms of measles are, no doubt you’d stare blankly at...

Your Signature is Worth A Thousand Words: Rifle Paper Company

Among many must-haves for your home is beautiful stationery. It might not be something you would normally purchase for yourself, or even think to consider as a gift, but it is very special. In this day of technology, a handwritten note goes a long way. Sure, big box stores offer cheap bulk thank you notes and invitations, but to have a higher grade card stock with letterpress or gold...

Ready. Set. Glow…Boo!: Halloween Dinner Party

Little ones give us all an excuse to indulge in our inner Halloween ghost or goblin. Our family is no exception. With a toddler joyously cheering, “HALLOWEEN THERE!” every time she sees a pumpkin I find myself looking at Halloween with childlike wonder once again. For weeks I had been looking forward to our trip to The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze, an event I can now affirm you do NOT want...
