In with the Oversized

February 15, 2013 by

I have ALWAYS been a person who prefers their clothing on the looser side.  My husband CAN NOT stand this about me… he would like for me to wear a bandage dress around the house all day every day. That is just not me. Right now I am really digging the trend of the oversized tee! It fits right into my comfort zone and allows me to stay right on trend at the same time. Here are a few that I think would look pretty good hanging in my closet.

Old Navy, Pocket Crewneck Tee
Forever 21, Oversized Striped Tee
Gap, Luxe Jersey Baseball Tee

Getting Organized

November 29, 2011 by

I’m in the midst of a complete closet overhaul.  I have a lot of stuff to get rid of and I also have a lot of things I want to reorganize.  I’ve been searching pinterest and googling tips and organization tools to get my closet all spiffed up.  One of the ideas I ran across was to use a regular old bath robe or bath towel hook for your belts.  So I headed to my neighborhood Target and instead of getting the regular bath/towel hook I had planned on, I ran across these and thought it might be even better.  So far so good! There were different sizes that will hold different weights.  If you decide to go this route you might want to take into account that you can’t hang a tiny belt on the wide hook, so you might want to get different sizes for different belts, but man otherwise, this is getting my organizational juices going!

A Birthday for the Cars Obsessed

September 19, 2011 by

My oldest son will be 3 in October and his current obsession is Cars 2. He knows what country the racers are from, what their numbers are, where the 3 races in the World Grand Prix take place, etc etc. So, we play with cars every. single. day.  Keeping that in mind I’ve been trying to come up something for his birthday.  I’ve got 3 different things in mind that are potential winners.

  1. Park & Play Service Garage (CP Toys)- works with die-cast cars, has multiple ramps for driving or crashing vehicles (omg), has a working elevator (omg omg), and a car wash (omg omg omg)!!
  2. Disney Pixar Cars 2 Charge Ups Track Set (Target)- you charge up cars and then they race around the track on their own
  3. Quercetti Super Marble Run Vortis (Amazon)- or a marble run of some sort. The kiddo got to play with one of these in real life and dude was busy for a WHILE.

So tell me other moms of car obsessed children, what do I need?

The Perfect Shoes

August 11, 2011 by

My baby loving friend Court gifted my son with the BEST first shoes ever. AJ’s feet are big and fat and would not fit in most shoes I tried to shove his poor foot into. When we received these they were perfect to say the least! I went back and bought more pairs in bigger sizes and colors just in case they don’t still have them when we need them. They are soft and flexible, yet don’t make him look like a street urchin when I let him down in public places. Well done, Court!

The Perfect Workout Tee

August 10, 2011 by

A couple of weeks ago Danielle from elleinadspir.com posted about a tee she wears to workout in and said she LOVED them and owned tons of them.  So I thought I’d give them a try and I gotta agree! These are the softest tees ever, very lightweight and my absolute favorite tee for workout now.  Plus, the best thing? They are $8!!
