My husband and I were extremely sick last year the day before we celebrated the holidays with his side of the family. Because we were still recuperating, I wasn't able to coordinate a holiday outfit for TJ to wear to our holiday celebration. I made it my mission this year to find the perfect outfit for TJ to wear to all his holiday celebrations with our families. Of course I turned to one of … [Read more...]
I love fall clothing. It is by far my favorite season to dress for. This year I am updating my wardrobe with some new treds to keep my look fresh. The focus this season: eye-catching details. Think Shimmery Dresses and Embellished Tees. Also girly (but slightly less glitzy) Lace Details and Draped Camis that add a hint of attitude to your everyday outfit. To nail both trends, try … [Read more...]
Teachers tend to wear some hideous Christmas clothing (thoughts of awful Christmas sweaters come to mind). I promised when I became a teacher that I would not be one of them. My kindergarten kids love it when I dress up for special occasions. I wear pajamas for our Polar Express day, I'll wear some cool Halloween jewelry around Halloween time, and for 100's day I have a great t-shirt that … [Read more...]

In the past few months I have shared my experiences with Wisk and today I am going to share another one. It's … [Read more...]
When I went to Michigan on vacation this summer my mother-in-law and I went to this adorable little store to shop. The store was filled with cute little shirts and gifts. In this store was a little long-sleeved shirt made for a 5-6 year old that said, "Kindergarten Rocks!" I thought it was adorable and instantly wanted one for myself (I am a kindergarten teacher). I asked the lady if they … [Read more...]
I love back to school clothes shopping. Every year before school starts I edit my wardrobe and pick out a few things that I need for the new year. This year I desperately needed some new brown shoes and a couple of tops. So... I headed to TJ Maxx. TJ Maxx is a department store that features amazing deals on clothing and accessories. Here is a little bit more about TJ Maxx taken from … [Read more...]
Laundry... my nemesis during the school year. Before we had TJ my husband and I would do our own laundry when needed. I think I probably did a load once a week. Now with all of TJ's clothing changes and accidents we are easily doing a load of laundry a day. I was thinking back to when I was a kid with my sister and my brother. I don't know how my mom kept up with all of our laundry while … [Read more...]
I wrote a post earlier that talked about my body after pregnancy and how I have changed and will never be the same. Well... I have a secret that I decided to share with you. I have found the perfect (non-surgery) product that has helped reshape my body and make me feel more confident in my clothing. The Compression Shaper in Boyshort with Derriere Uplift Design, by Leonisa, has been a … [Read more...]
I don't buy myself clothes very often unless the clothes are classic and will be durable enough to withstand a mommy lifestyle. If I am going to spend money on clothes it needs to be stylish, yet classic, and durable. I recently had the chance to work with a company that specializes in all three of my criteria for clothes. DownEast Basics is an affordable classic and stylish online clothing … [Read more...]
Finding stylish clothing for a 15 month old boy is very difficult. I am not a huge fan of character shirts, which seem to be everywhere when you go and shop for little boys. I want fun, stylish clothing for TJ and it seems like I have to really search for a while to find exactly what I am looking for. I was recently sent some items from Bit'z Kids, a Japanese clothing store for kids in New … [Read more...]
