It's Meet & Mingle day! Every week I'm sharing some of my favorite girlfriends and their blogs. This is a great opportunity to see who's "behind the blog" and to get to know other bloggers. Today, I'm so happy to share Jen from And Hattie Makes Three with you! I always enjoy reading her Weekend Wrap Up posts...seriously, you need to check out her Chocolate Pudding Pie recipe...yum!!!! Hope you enjoy getting to know her more with all of her answers to some fun behind-the-blog questions!
Your blog name & it’s significance
And Hattie Makes Three was created in early 2015 after the birth of my daughter. I was looking for an outlet to share all the fun things that we did and all the fun frugal finds we found while out and about. For years I had a coupon blog, and I decided it was time for a switch!
Tell us a little about your family
I've been married to Jeff for 7 years, but been together for 11. We have Miss H who is 18 months and our fur baby Riley Sue who is 9. We live in St. Louis, we're avid Cardinals fans, love BBQing, Friends, and enjoying all that St. Louis has to offer! I'm a SAHM to Miss H and we are super involved with MOMs Club, MOPs and more.
Currently in my shower [favorite beauty products]...
Nivea In Shower Lotion - Total Game Changer for getting ready quickly.
Bumble to Bumble Hair Dresser Oil - Perfect right out of the shower, I've had the same bottle for 2 years!
Peter Thomas Roth - Years ago I worked at Bath & Body Works opening the first flagship store in St. Louis and PTR was by far one of my favorite clinical brands. Anytime Sephora has a fun kit, I always get it. The face wash and strawberry scrub are to die for!
I never leave the house without...
My Tory Burch Mini Clutch and Buxom Dolly Lip gloss. I purposely bought it last year to hold my keys, my iPhone, cards and a lip gloss. I can toss it into a diaper bag, a big purse, or just use it for running quick errands.
First thing you do when you have 5 minutes to yourself
Check my Phone or grab a snack - I always forget to eat! I've been really bad this past year about spending WAY too much time on my phone, so I make it a habit to put my phone out of sight out of mind when Miss H and I are around the house. Nothing is that important that it can't wait till nap time.
Favorite cupcake
Yellow cupcake, chocolate frosting and sprinkles, of course!
Top three baby items you’d recommend to new moms
Nose Frieda - You'll thank me later. It's so gross, but totally works.
Aden + Anais Muslin Swaddles - J. Crew has the cutest ones right now!
Kiinde System - if you are a part time pumper, this is perfect! I've never washed a bottle in my life!
Currently obsessed with…
Kon Marie Method - I just recently finish reading The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up and we're on a mission to declutter the house!
Iced Tea - So many options, so little time! My favorite right now is Passion Tango Tea. So good!
Swimming Pools - Miss H and I are going on a swimming pool tour of the city! I purchased a Splash Pass to check out all the local pools and we are well on our way!
Top three meals you make for your family
1) Tacos Every Tuesday!
2) Beef & Broccoli
3) Breakfast for Dinner
4) Mystery Recipe - Every week we try a new recipe. Some of my favorites from Mystery Night were Beef Stroganoff and Chicken Divan!
Favorite blog & why
Fancy Ashley - I've followed her for years and her style seems so effortless, but she always looks put together. Bonus, she has super cute kids she dresses adorably!

I'm incredibly rude and a scatter brained momma! I meant to do a shout out for you on Instagram last week and then completely got mom brain! I highlighted your blog in my Friday Five tomorrow. I know you don't have to feature other fabulous bloggers and I'm grateful you do! :)
