My in-laws replaced our broken pour over coffee maker for Christmas with a nice little upgraded version. (This post includes gifted items).

Elevate your morning coffee routine with better tasting coffee (in my opinion) from your old drip!

We got the burr mill grinder for Christmas from my mom a few years ago.

And the electric kettle was gifted by Amazon in exchange for my honest review.

👋🏽 INTRO POST! 👋🏽

Hey everybody! Nice to meet you.

My name is Alicia, otherwise known as Madtown Momma.

I am a full time workin’ mom sharing lifestyle content about my life in Madison, WI.

I live with my husband, preteen son, and older dog.

We love shopping and dining locally, and exploring all that Madison, the Midwest, and the great state of Wisconsin have to offer.

You will often find us out at a neighborhood festival, community event, or new restaurant.

I am generally an XL/XXL/1X, 14, 16, 14W and have a passion for fashion.

If that sounds like something you are interested in, follow along as I navigate life as a Madison mom in style!

Had to have these blue and pink Adidas!

Plus this weekend (through 4/6) you can get $10 off $49, $20 off $99, or $60 off a $199 purchase with vide HOORAY10. Which brings these down to $54.99!

Got these coated denim wide leg jeans by Kut from the Kloth from Evereve! #everevepartner

I paired them with a chunky sweater for a cold winter day, and these lug sole boots by DKNY that were gifted to me in exchange for my honest review on Amazon.

I cannot recommend Kut jeans enough! They are my favorites and have been for years.

I am wearing a size 14 in the jeans. And they are on sale!

This magnetic charcuterie board is perfect for hosting! #gifted

You can put it all together to create one big board, or detach the sides and use them separately.

(Just don’t try to pick up the board when they are all put together or the sides will fall off! The magnets aren’t quite strong enough to hold the weight with food on.)

Still, it makes for a beautiful serving piece. And would also make a lovely hostess gift!

This product was gifted to me by Amazon in exchange for my honest review.

My husband had been encouraging me to get a Sodastream for years since we drink fizzy water like it’s going out of style.

Finally got one and it’s so easy to use!

I can’t wait to try different flavor combos and experiment with making both carbonated water and soda.

I do like that there is less waste than with buying cans, and that you can customize the amount of fizz you want in your drink.

This is one way I’ve resolved to live just a bit more sustainably in the new year.

Don’t miss the last day of Evereve’s extra 20% off sale items! #everevepartner

I snagged these Kut from the Kloth Meg jeans earlier this week and have zero regrets.

Sale ends tonight!

P.S. I’m wearing the 14.

#LTKMidsize #LTKSaleAlert #LTKFindsUnder100

Picked up this team and sport neutral Game Day sweatshirt at Evereve as part of their end of year sale! #everevepartner

All sale is an extra 20% off right now.

My Kut from he Kloth jeans are also from Evereve! And also on sale!

I got an XL in the sweatshirt and size 14 in the jeans.

#LTKootd #LTKSaleAlert #LTKdayinmylife

Trying out my new satin lined flexible Kitsch shower cap for the first time to see if it keeps my massive head of hair dry.

It worked! And stayed dryer around the hairline than my old one. No wet spots, which means it works.

Plus it’s nice and roomy for curly girls like me!

#LTKmorningroutine #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKgrwm

Celebrating 2 years sober this week!

Having good nonalcoholic alternatives has helped get me here. I wrote a whole blog post about it if you are looking for some NA options to try, especially if you are thinking of trying Dry January.

One of my favs is the non alcoholic spritzes from Ghia.

I tried the new Blood Orange last night. And also dig the Ginger and Lime & Salt. I have yet to try the other two.

Cheers to another year alcohol free!

#LTKselfcare #LTKOver40 #LTKfoodie

Still use this bridesmaid’s gift I received 15 years ago or so. If you don’t have a Lands’ End canvas tote, you need one!

This is the extra large zip-top.

They come in several different sizes and so many colors. Plus you can personalize or monogram them to your liking.

#LTKWedding #LTKGiftGuide #LTKTravel

Had so much fun getting all dolled up for my son’s taekwondo awards ceremony and gala last night. #ad

I lucked out and found this Wray dress at my local Goodwill. #goodwillpartner

It was new with tags too!

It paired nicely with my new faux fur from Evereve. #everevepartner

The fleece lined tights made to look like nylons, and kitten heels were gifted to me by Amazon in exchange for my honest review.

Love how the whole look came together! It would work well for NYE too!

#LTKMidsize #LTKOver40 #LTKHoliday

Tried out a new to me curly hair product last week and honestly loved it! My curls were very well defined, not crunchy but had good hold, and held up for a good 4 days before I put it up due to frizz.

I only used this product after washing and conditioning in order to get a true result. My only complaint is it doesn’t have a lot of slip so for finger twist styling that can be a challenge.

Moving forward I would probably pair it with a slippery product as well for ease in styling.

Overall though, I would recommend!

Found these two cute tops in the extra 50% off sale room at @anthropologie today.

Will definitely be wearing the red bow sweatshirt for Christmas with the fam, and the subtly sparkly ruffled sweatshirt tee for New Year’s Eve!

Which do you like best?

#LTKSaleAlert #LTKHoliday #LTKFindsUnder50

Evereve is having a party sale! 🪩 #everevepartner

They’ve marked down holiday party ready styles, including this faux fur jacket, disco pants, and jeweled neck tee.

I loved what I wore to work today and just had to share! (This post includes gifted items).

I got this adorable bow shoulder black and white sweater from @loft last week. It was on sale for $25 and I had a promo code for $25 off any order, so it was free!

I knew it would pair nicely with these high waisted @kutfromthekloth trousers I bought from @evereve. #everevepartner

I added my bow ring and necklace which were gifted to me by my local @kendrascott store, along with the bow earrings I received for free in exchange for my honest review by Amazon.

I got several compliments today and I felt confident and classy!

This outfit would work well for a holiday party too, especially with red accessories.

What do you think? So you love it as much as I do?

#LTKHoliday #LTKootd #LTKOver40

I love this three piece pajama set from Lands’ End! I’ve bought some version of this the past few years and they are all fantastic.

This one was on my list because of the vibrant red color which is perfect for the holidays, but not so Christmasy that it can’t be worn beyond December 25th.

It comes with the tank top, pants, and robe. And comes in a few different colors/patterns as well!

Highly recommend as a gift for her…including yourself!

#LTKGiftGuide #LTKHoliday #LTKSaleAlert

Tis the season where we all need a little extra hydration.

I picked up this thick Philosophy body cream that smells fantastic. And cracked open a new Elemis pro-collagen marine cream for extra moisture on my winter skin.

Don’t forget that winter can be so drying for hair, skin, and nails. So change up your skincare routine for the next few months if you need to.
