I swear every year I say- “I can’t believe how fast this past year went”. But it’s so true. Especially once the kids started going to school the years started going by double time. But, here we are nearing the end of 2017. I’ll be honest and say I’ve never really been one to set…
hereWell, it’s all over. There’s the build up, the prep work, shopping wrapping, cooking and in basically under 24 hours it’s all over with. I’ve started cleaning up what looks to be WWIII throughout my house. At least you can see the living room floor, however the kids bedrooms are another story. I needed to…
Anyone else struggle with gift ideas for the kids teachers? Lets face it, during the school year our kids spend more time during the day with their teachers than they do us. When you think about it like that, they deserve much more than we can give them! With having three kids in school this…
We often feel the guys in our life are hardest to buy for. One year I’ll be all full of ideas of great gifts to get they guys in my family and the next I’ve got nothing. Try adding in a 16 year old nephew to the mix and I’m all out of ideas in…
T minus 3 days until Turkey day. Our favorite holiday to stuff ourselves more than the turkey and purge of football. I’m sharing with you some outfit inspiration to help keep you comfortable during Thanksgiving dinner without wearing yoga pants. Tee / Sweater / Bootie / Earrings / Boot My absolute favorite cardigan that I’m…
It’s officially that time… I’m in full on Christmas mode. A few new decorations have arrived and I’m ready to decorate since I don’t host Thanksgiving dinner. The best part that comes along with the holiday season is shopping! I’m that person that enjoys shopping for others more than myself. Since before I was married…
FINALLY! Weather in southwest PA has finally caught up with mother nature in realizing it’s fall. Up until recently it’s been bouncing back and forth between mid 70’s (kids were riding bikes in shorts last weekend) then down to the 50’s this week. I feel it’s finally safe to convert to my fall/winter wardrobe. I’m…
I have a few favorite things that come with the fall season in southwest Pennsylvania. Leaves changing colors, smells of cinnamon and pumpkin, a chill to the air and last but not least- boot season. This years fall fashion inspiration gives us such a range of boots to choose from. Examples being, ankle booties, sock…
Even though you’ll come across me splurging on a designer handbag or shoes about once a year, that’s generally the only time I pay full price while shopping. For the most part, I always head to the sale section first. However, my husband always tells me that just because it’s on sale doesn’t mean you…
Holy smokes, you need to head over to Abercrombie and check their sale going on. Extra 30% off all clearance items is huge. Most of what I added to my cart came up under $20! I’ll be honest, I haven’t shopped a lot from Abercrombie since high school, but I feel their style is helping still reach…
Well, it’s happened. Breezy 65 degree days, Friday night, Saturday and Sunday football, pumpkin spice everything, pumpkins, gourds and mums. Tis the season for fall. I swear as soon as the kids started school the end of August, summer basically died at that moment. I thought surely I’d get a couple peaceful days by the…
I can pretty much guarantee that by April you’re going to be hearing me say how I CAN’T wait for school to be out and the kids to be home for summer vacation. BUT, come August I’m usually ready for them to head back. This year is the first time all three kids will be…
