This post about how to buy online shoes has been sponsored by 4EurSole. All opinions expressed here are my own. I received compensation and product for sharing these shoe shopping tips with you. While I enjoy shoe shopping, I am very picky about the shoes I buy. I tend to buy high-quality shoes that I know will last. My preference is for practical shoes rather than something that will only match with one outfit. I have no need for a pair of cherry red heels but a pair of black boots will be worn regularly for years. I have started to … [Read more...]

December 1, 2017 by · 1 Comment
This discussion about beauty stocking stuffers for teens has been sponsored by Olay and Braun at Walmart. All opinions are my own. Gone are the days of getting my kids Pokémon cards for their Christmas stockings. I have teenagers now, and it has gotten harder to find stocking stuffers that they will really use.

September 8, 2017 by · 3 Comments
When my kids were young and I had a diaper bag to carry around, it was easy to bring everything I could possibly need along with me at all times. My must have purse essentials list included things like snacks, toys, wipes, spare clothes, and just about everything but the kitchen sink. Now that my kids are older, I have had to narrow down my definition of purse essentials to only what fits into an average sized handbag. And since I hate huge purses, my handbag tends to be small! It isn't always easy to narrow down what goes in your purse. … [Read more...]

January 16, 2017 by · 1 Comment
Looking for Valentines Day gift ideas for kids? I have certainly bought a lot of them over the last 15 or so years so I thought I would share a few ideas.

I have always gotten my children a small gift on Valentines Day, although it is getting … [Read more...]

It's only October and I am already noticing that my skin is getting dry. The minute that heat kicks on I start getting frizzy hair, chapped lips and hands that are dry and flaky. Sure, I like hand lotion as much as the next girl but it seems like no matter how much I put on it just sucks right into my skin and I don't see any change in the way my hands feel.
