I am always on the lookout for new workout gear. Because let’s face it: after a while, those capris and tanks and sports bras get pretty nasty. And I admit I sometimes feel more motivated (and even perform better!) when I’m wearing something that’s cute and flattering and functional, rather than the tired old and […]
Gearing Up For Disney’s New Movie, FROZEN!
When we first saw the preview for the new Disney movie FROZEN about a month or so ago, I knew we had to see it. The movie fit two main requirements: (1) It has silly, funny characters (like Olaf the snowman) that my 7-year-old could relate to (he laughed out loud during the trailer), and […]
Stocking Up for Fall at Kohl’s Grand Opening Sale (Plus Win a $100 Kohl’s Gift Card!) {Giveaway}
I won’t admit how often I shop at Kohl’s. Let’s just say it’s a lot. For one reason, there is a store 10 minutes from my house. And since shopping for me has to be a multitasking experience, I love that I can run in and grab a mixing bowl, a pair of earrings […]

I’m still inclined to dress them in turtlenecks and snow pants. But the reality is that Easter is only a few weeks […]
Operation Closet Redux
I recently issued the following challenge to myself: No buying clothes – of any kind – for two months. Okay. Deep breaths, deep breaths.
