About a year ago, I began making changes in my life and promised myself that I would live healthier. I wanted to be able to be more physically active with my little girls. I wanted to look attractive for my husband. I wanted to feel more confident for myself. I did some research and came up with a list of changes that I could easily make in my life. I changed the foods I was eating, reduced portions, started drinking more water and tried to integrate more activity into my schedule. By doing this, Read more [...]

I love discovering new clothing boutiques. For me it’s like finding a treasure chest full of goodies. Today I want to share my latest discovery, Seam Collection girls’ clothing boutique. Seam Collection began with a mom’s desire to make clothing that was age appropriate for all the stages in a little girl’s development. Seam Collection will soon be offering playful baby styles. They currently have a line for little girls that enables them to dress themselves…helping build independence Read more [...]

Like many women, I love shoes. Unfortunately, I've found it very hard to find a good pair of shoes, ones that are comfortable, sturdy but also cute, and when I do my dog seems to also like them a lot. So recently I've been looking for some cute, comfortable shoes. The Shoe Spa is a store that carries a wide range of comfortable, luxurious shoes for women. They have everything from adorable heels to athletic shoes. I was very happy to be able to review a pair of shoes from The Shoe Spa. I received Read more [...]

Fashionable girls clothing always seems to be plentiful.  Our first child was a girl and I had no trouble discovering beautiful clothes, shoes, and accessories for her wherever I went.  Fashion was never in short supply for our daughter.  However, for those of us that have boys, we also have three sons, we know all too well that the boys sections can sometimes be lacking in style and variety. However, I recently learned that Target carries an exclusive line called Shaun White Apparel that is Read more [...]

The weather has started to turn cold, windy and wet in Oregon…no, it’s not like that year round, we had a hot, dry and beautiful summer. It is time for me to store my capris, tank tops and sandals in the back of my closet. My sweaters, jeans and boots have now been moved to the front of my wardrobe. As I was rotating my clothing, I noticed that many of my “staples” are a bit drab and boring. I quickly saw that I needed to add some color, pattern and texture to my fall/winter apparel line-up. Read more [...]

I have two little fashionistas. It doesn’t matter if they are simply playing in the yard, going grocery shopping, or it’s a school day; they love to get dressed up. Finding clothing that allows them to feel dressed up and fits my criteria can sometimes be a challenge. However that’s not the case with Persnickety clothing. Persnickety is a fairly new company. They offer boutique children’s apparel. In the beginning, they sold their merchandise at farmers markets and fairs. Then a life-changing Read more [...]

*I was provided with a top from 24/7 Frenzie in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own. I never feel like I have too many clothes. Most of the time, I feel like I don't have enough - even though my dresser and closet are stuffed I still end up with events to go to where I can't find anything to wear. I love finding online clothing stores because they tend to have clothing options that are different than what I can find in stores near me. 24/7 Frenzy is an online clothing store that sells Read more [...]

*Coupons.com provided me with a gift card to Kohls as a thank you for this post. All opinions are my own. Growing up, I went to a small school where there is only one elementary, middle and high school. Each grade had about 100 kids and while the first day back to school was exciting because I got to wear brand new clothing, I wasn't making too many new impressions as the kids in my grade had known me since Kindergarten other than maybe two or three "new kids" each year. In contrast, starting Read more [...]

I love finding cute shoes for our kids. I was introduced to "squeaky shoes" when our second child turned one and I couldn't find anything to fit his chubby little feet. I have since fallen in love with "squeaky" shoes that give me the peace of mind knowing that our little one won't get far without unknowingly alerting me.  I was sent a pair of Prince Kairu Shoes from Yochi Yochi for review.   Yochi Yochi Shoes brought the latest trend from Japan to the US. Each pair of Yochi Yochi Shoes has Read more [...]

I love loungewear. On those rare occasions when I get to treat myself to a day at home, I prefer to be in casual clothing rather than all dressed-up. The whole tone of my day changes and becomes comforting when I am able to put on clothing that has a relaxed feel and is made with easy-going fabrics.  Now that you know this about me, you can imagine how excited I was when I recently had the opportunity to try Rhonda Shear loungewear. For my review, I received Rhonda Shear Lazy Daze Lounge Pants Read more [...]
