It’s not very often I get to host a giveaway on this silly little ol’ blog. So when JORD Wood Watches reached out and asked me to try the product, offer my feedback, AND give away a gift card to one of my readers, I was pretty excited. BUT! (Isn’t there always a BUT?) I didn’t…
For the past 10 days, I participated in a popular online styling challenge where you take 10 items of clothing (shirts/pants/shoes) then mix + match those items to make 10 different outfits. When I originally chose my 10 items, it was surprisingly easy. I thought I had it in the bag. I took a look at…
We finally caught up on Game of Thrones. Pretty good show, I guess. Gimme a glass of wine, and it’s the most amazing thing ever put on television. Sometimes I let the dog run around like an insane maniac, for the sole purpose that it makes Stevie laugh so hard that he can hardly breathe. Before…
Who doesn’t love the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?? For a time, I thought I might have to give up shopping there, but guess what? They have an easy search option online to find items Made in the USA. And I’ve rounded up my favorite sale items for you here! Of course, they are mom-friendly, basic items…
Last September, I made a promise to myself to stop buying clothes that were… a waste. No more impulse sale buys, no more cheap junk, no more fast fashion. Once I made a firm decision to do that, I realized I didn’t really even need a seasonal capsule wardrobe anymore. It slowed me down SO…
There are two types of people in this world. Those who use a Squatty Potty and those who don’t know what that is. When your cat gets into the dog treats and eats every single last one and you wake up to barf and poop all over your bathroom. (Thanks for not ruining my rug…
Nothing like hearing your kid shout “Mom! Penis!!” over and over while driving around because he can’t quite pronounce Prius. It’s gotta be the most common car in LA. I thought it was so weird that they sold succulents at the grocery store. Then I bought two. Because I have a problem. No but seriously,…
This Everlane shirt again, huh? Well, I have to tell you – the shirt and I have been through some stuff. Before I even wore the darn thing, I nearly ruined it with the iron. I was trying to steam it, but our iron is old and dirty and I just ended up squirting yellow…
Yesterday was great and awful, as so many days are. I had a few moments of quiet. Almost ruined my new Everlane poplin tee with the iron before I even had a chance to wear it. Thank goodness I was able to save my mistake. Once Stevie got home, it was quite a scene. He…
Three posts in one week?!! Don’t get used to it. I think the main motivation factor has been that I pretty much hate everything in my closet right now. Even with my mindset to have a small and useful wardrobe, I still have my days mkay? But doing these posts and photos reminds me that…
