Let’s be real for a minute here, mamas. The older I get, I realize there is very little hope for ever fully taming my thighs situation. That’s cool, I can handle that…mostly, on good days, when I am not surrounded by too many adorable hip moms in their exquisite athleisure. It’s a brutal world at preschool […]
Give and Get With Fashionable Finds!
Friends, something incredible has happened. My passionate love for online consignment shopping has partnered with one of my favorite stores of all time, Modcloth! Yup, Schoola and Mocloth have teamed up to make two magical things happen–fantastic, uber-affordable additions to your wardrobe and far importantly, money raised for the Mahala Fund to empower girls through education. […]
Clothe up Those Kiddos with These Back to School Deals and Steals!
I’ve been very open about my general Back to School panic. While I can’t do anything to ensure that my son successfully navigates the longer days of 1st grade (crawling on the bus with him and clinging to his desk all day might be slightly frowned upon??), I have been working hard to make sure my kiddos have […]
Fall Fashion with a Southern Flair
Let’s be straight: I drool for fashion. I sit in my perfectly ensconced-by-budgetary-concerns world of preschool pick-up-friendly athleisure and fantastize about more. More pretty things. Less advertising to the world at large that I work solely from home in my yoga pants. I reverently flip through the pages of People Style Watch and think, “This could […]
Find Your Way to Across the Way
I have endless memories of my mother, a natural-born shopper, delighting in browsing the shops at Cape May, NJ on our vacations. Much to my husband’s chagrin, I’ve inherited her shopping gene. That’s cool; he can go ahead and roll his eyes in the corner, I’m too thrilled with my hunting for special treasures to notice his silliness. […]
ThredUp for the Teacher in Your Life!
My mother, my greatest teacher hero, was SOLD OUT for her students. She would do anything, any time of day or night, with any stretch to her personal budget to get them what they needed for a proper shot at success. I shared a little bit about this before, in a post very near and […]
Bliss for the Tootsies
My sister and I recently had an intense fight about socks. I was, of course, right, and she was wrong. Obvs. You see, I was standing in defense of socks. She had this not-fun dry heel situation going on with her tootsies, yet still foolishly persisted in favoritism of going barefoot. Having a recent uber-delightful experience […]
Your Feet Are Swooning for Bzees, Trust Me!
Swoosh. Swoosh. Swoosh. Oh don’t mind me, friends, that’s just the noise of my feet waving their white flag of surrender to all the insanity I’ve already put them through this summer–and it’s only the first day of July. Truth told, the rest of me might be waving that flag right along with my feet, […]
Calling All Curly Girls!
As I child, I remember my mother endlessly oohing and ahhing over my curls. I thought they were ridiculous and she was insane. They curled up and made my hair shorter; I looked like a boy. Then I got a little older and started showing those curls who was boss, wielding mad power with over-sized barrel […]
Win Mother’s Day Hollywood-Style
Do you ever swoon a little when you hear about the incredible swag celebs score at events? Well, here’s your chance to stop swooning and start scoring the loot for yourself! When Distinctive Assets (est. in 1999 and producer of gift bags and backstage gift lounges for practically every major award show) contacted me about the fabulous gift bags they […]
