I LOVE a good sale and that is pretty much the only way I'll shop for the most part.  I was just shopping for my own two girls figured I'd share with you all too. I'm sharing here some of my favorite picks from the Nordstrom Rack CLEARANCE spot.  All of the item's below are 40-70% off and there are tons and tons of winter PJ's, sweaters, and coats if you want to shop ahead or next winter.  Click the PHOTOS below to shop the sale.  Don't wait, quantities are lim… Read more

We are currently snowed in here in New Jersey and since I'm off from work I'm not mad at all.  Cozy clothes on, coffee in hand, fireplace burning and shopping some sales online while my kids make huge messes that I guess I'll have to pick up at some point? But seriously, I actually am the exception to the rule in that I LOVE Winter.  It's my favorite.  I don't mind rain or snow at all unless I'm driving, that's not fun, but otherwise I'm all for it.  Th… Read more

The time between Christmas and New Year's is so awkward. All of that hard holiday work, the late nights shopping, baking and wrapping is over with and the actual holiday is gone in the blink of an eye.   Time to take down the decorations and find a home for all of the new carefully thought out and wrapped toys and gifts that were torn open in ten seconds flat.  While I'm not a New Year's Resolution maker I do think this is a great time to reflect on your year as a mom, as… Read more

1.  Maple Pecan Coffee-Loving this new flavor from DD so much that I've even strayed from my go-to Pumpkin Spice for it a several times.  I'd stick with milk or cream only as it is a bit sweet but I'm a fan! 2.  Target Sweaters-I mean it's Target and we all love Target but their sweaters this year are really on point.  Their new lines Knox Rose and A New Day especially.  Look for sales this week, select Knox Rose sweaters were $10 off today. 3.  Leaves Candle by Bath &… Read more

So this is kind of a personal topic for a lot of people but for me I'm pretty much an open book.   When I had my third child everyone was like "oh my gosh you're having three, wow" "wow, you're having a third"...lot's of "wows" ..Even the secretary at my doctors office!  When did three children become excessive? I really never thought about the amount of children I wanted to have ever I just figured I would know when the time came.  My hus… Read more

I will be honest I am just not a morning person. I really never was. Mornings are tough around here and if you have little ones I am sure they are in your house too! Now, full disclosure I have NOT mastered the art of a "good" morning but I have definitely found a few ways to rush less, yell less and keep my blood pressure at a reasonable level before 8 AM. More likely than not your paid job is stressful enough...no one wants to start it off with ten toddler outfit chang… Read more
