Last summer I was trolling a consignment shop at the beach with my sister, when my eyes landed on the most fabulous skirt of all time. It was from a brand I’d never heard of before, Elisabethan. As my knees buckled from its magnificence, even my sister, a decided non-shopper (I know–I have no idea […]
These Boots Were Made for Lovin’
This holiday week, I’m sharing a couple of my favorite posts from the past year. On Friday, I shared a fun one about when I met my match in a cute deathly raccoon, and today I’m hanging out with a favorite pair of boots–that defined my marital relationship a bit and reminded me of why I think […]
Jammy-ing It Up with Joe Boxer
While our children usually look adorable come bedtime, my husband and I don’t have the best track record for acing out pajama wear. So when Joe Boxer pajamas from Kmart asked if I would to check out their line of jammies for my whole family, it was very exciting times around here! My husband fails miserably at pajamas–he sleeps in his […]
The One Reason Why I Will Always Love Black Friday
Trust me, I completely understand the frustration with how Black Friday edges into Thanksgiving. At some stores, it’s even completely taken over the holiday with doors opening early Thursday morning or deals running all week long. My husband loathes pre-Black Friday Christmas. It’s one of the things he can rant about for hours, similar to his disdain for […]
Be Holiday Gift Giver of the Year!
I love Christmas, and I love shopping. Add them together and you have a delightful perfect storm of holiday fun. And a very crammed-full closet of packages waiting to be wrapped. But I also love saving my money and being really smart about my purchases. I want to make sure that each item I purchase is worth […]
The Online Shopping Secret
I like nice things. A lot. Probably too much, if you ask my husband…but here is the dirty secret of how I float tossing sweet stuff into our lives without breaking the budget: I shop online. Almost entirely, exclusively online. I took my son to the mall the other day for a soft pretzel/play area […]
The Ladies Do Nails
My daughter is adorably into “Ladies’ Time”. What is Ladies’ Time? It involves the two of doing anything together one-on-one. This can range from not-fun, “The ladies love to grocery shopping in the rain together!” to the very fun, “Ladies are so excited to troll through sale papers on the weekends!”. Sometimes she will walk around the house […]
Clothes Mentor, I’m In Love!
My husband has adapted very well, with a general acceptance, to my endless string of crushes. These crushes range in subject from Jesse Pinkman to new TV shows (Orange is the New Black, anyone??) to an incredibly pretty shade of Urban Decay lipstick. Most recently, my fashion obsessions have been raging, finding exciting territory in StitchFix, […]
PACT for a More Comfy Tomorrow
Earlier this week I wrote about embracing a thus unknown fashion sense with Stitch Fix. And while I really do have high hopes of vogue-ing it up a little in the days to come, truth told: as a WAHM of two young ones on any given average day, it is very convenient when my carefully chosen […]
StitchFix Me Up!
I vaguely remember something called a dressing room? It was small and squarish with a privacy curtain and a bench so you could sit down. Actually the more I think about it, it sounds like a pretty blissful place. Perhaps I should just take my next vacation to Target and save on gassing up the minivan for the […]
