labor day sales

The Only Three Labor Day Sales I Care About (Updated)

There’s only two sales I really saw this weekend that caught my eye:  J Crew and H&M.  Both often have sales but the good stuff can get snagged up so quickly so I thought I would share a few highlights from each retailer (and I ordered some stuff from both!).  Edit: I lied.  LL Bean […]

Back to School: Preschool Style

It’s a big couple of weeks in our household.  Harry starts Kindergarten today (see his school supplies here).  And next week, Teddy is starting school!  He has a mid-September birthday so he just misses the cut-off of being in the 3 year old pre-school class; he still has a few years of school before he […]

Baby Registry Essentials (But Really, These Are Must-Haves)

I may no longer have babies but we have been toying with the idea of adding one more baby to the mix (unfortunately, I had a miscarriage last fall).  However, I know a lot of my readers are in that season of life; maybe you’re having babies.  Or maybe your friends are having babies.  Or […]

Amazon Prime Day – What I’m Buying (And What I’ve Bought In the Past)

They really hit us with the July sales, eh?  Well, I still try and patronize in-person stores but I DO love a deal off Amazon (and lots of other online retailers).  I wanted to show you what sales I’m purchasing myself today and what I’ve bought in the past that I would 100% recommend (and […]

Should I Enter the World of Clear Aligners? My Consult Experience with Candid

Raise your hand if you had braces growing up (clear aligners weren’t a thing yet). *raises both hands because my teeth were pretty messed up*  Raise your hand if your orthodontic experiences were traumatic. *raises both hands because, oh my gosh, I HATED THE ORTHODONTIST*  Raise your hand if your teeth have shifted and moved, […]
