Gone are the days when I could go out to the store and leave my kids home with dad while I shopped for their clothes. Back to school shopping used to mean that my husband spent a couple hours playing with the kids and I headed to the mall for some peace and quiet. Yes, when you have small children, malls are considered QUIET places! If you are blessed with teens like I am, you have probably learned that they are not as easy to shop for as smaller children. So, in an effort to keep the peace in my house I have come up with a few shopping … [Read more...]

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 … [Read more...]
Practical Purse Essentials List So You Are Prepared For Every Emergency!
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 … [Read more...]

I live in the south and it's already close to 90 degrees some days. I pull out my summer clothes around mid-March and they stay in my closet all the way through early November. Since I spend so much time in summer clothes, I don't mind spending a few extra dollars for something that is high quality. Of course, pants and a shirt are only the basics when it comes to your wardrobe. While I don't spend a ton of money on hundreds of extras, there are a few basic summer fashion accessories that I try to include in my summer wardrobe. What sort … [Read more...]
Tips for Saving Money on Clothing for Teens
May 3, 2017 by · 8 Comments
This post about saving money on clothing for your teens has been sponsored by Groupon. All opinions are my own. Last month, while planning our Florida vacation, my daughter came to me and told me that only three pairs of her shorts fit her from last year. Great. Three days before we leave and she has barely any summer clothes to wear! While teens tend to grow slower than smaller children, they still outgrow their clothes. Whether it is a growth spurt of a couple of inches or a broadening of the shoulders, my teens still need new … [Read more...]

Cotton Fashion Event Announces Celebrity Host Lineup!

This post about Cotton's Fashion Event has been sponsored but all opinions expressed here are my own. When you think fashion, what immediately comes to mind? High heals? Huge price tags? Maybe a few outfits that really shouldn't be worn to pick up the kids from preschool? Fashion means different things to different people. Quite often, fashion means silk, leather, lace and a whole lot of bling. But, have you ever considered the idea that COTTON can be fashionable? Simple cotton....it makes up a huge portion of our every daily wardrobe … [Read more...]
