Get Ready for Summer with Land’s End

March 30, 2015 by Samantha 10 Comments

So, it’s Spring, right? That’s what I hear, that’s what the calendar says, yet….yet it’s 32 degrees outside and I am still wearing boots and a winter coat every day. I think someone has gotten it way wrong. Isn’t Easter next week? Because it snowed last weekend, and I’m pretty sure April is just a few days away….Have you had it with winter, East Coast? Mid West? Do you fight the impulse to “unfriend” your buddies living in warmer climates who post selfies of themselves in shorts or in their backyards, barbequing in t-shirts? Then it’s time to get away. Fast. Check out the sweepstakes Land’s End is hosting to Win a Trip for Two to the warm and sunny British Virgin Islands.

After a horrible winter, the majority of us could use a warm getaway. Lands’ End has teamed up with the British Virgin Islands to offer one lucky winner a trip for two to the beautiful Bitter End Yacht Club. Make sure you enter to win (more points as you pass it along to friends as well).

Family Easter Outfits at Kohl’s

March 28, 2015 by Samantha 5 Comments

Spring is the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe, and with Easter looming, it’s a great reason to drag even the most resistant men in your life out for at least a small upgrade, true? We recently headed to Kohl’s to see what we could find for both of the men in my life to wear for the holiday this year. The smaller one is usually pretty compliant, it’s the bigger one that can be somewhat of a fighter, lol. They both agreed, however, on getting new pants and nice shirts. We got them things they could wear not only on Easter, but for future events.

Now that I look at it, it seems they are almost matching, though not intentionally- one blue on top and beige on the bottom, the other reversed, ha. My son decided he wanted to go in shorts (can you tell we’ve had it with winter and he’s looking forward to warm weather?) and my husband decided to get new jeans, which he could use. They both picked out their outfits without the other one seeing- my son was with me, and the husband was in the men’s department all by himself- I was amused when I saw how similar their selections were when we met in the boy’s department 😉

March Trends at The Children’s PLACE

March 26, 2015 by Samantha 7 Comments

The Children’s PLACE has come to deliver marching orders: Put your best foot forward this spring with the best on-trend outfits and styles. With everything from dressy Easter attire to casual clothes, shoes, and accessories, The Children’s PLACE has everything you need for the stylish kids in your life. Girls can have fun in floral accents and casual dresses they can style up with a pair of sparkly flats or make more casual by pairing with an ankle bootie. Boys are all about preppy and sporty looks with bold pops of color.

The Children’s PLACE is also one of my favorite places to shop for our son, because it’s easy to mix and match clothing and the prices are wallet-friendly. He likes the clothes because they are soft, for him a must.

He can be picky about his clothing- not so much about the style, but about the fit. He really dislikes jeans for some reason, and anything that feels tight, stiff, or “scratchy” is a no-go. He likes khakis (in any color or print), track pants, sweat pants, and the like, which they have so many options of at The Children’s PLACE. He will wear most shirts, as long as they fit the above qualifiers. He used to love, love, love wearing ties, bow ties, and vests (not sure if you all remember, but there was a time he wouldn’t leave the house without them on!) but now he’s all about the casual. I’m glad that it’s easy to match clothes at The Children’s PLACE, because you can get more wear and more outfits for your money that way, without having to shop as much or have as much clothing. With as fast as they grow, who wants to spend that much money for a single season of use?

Work It Out at Kohl’s

February 23, 2015 by Samantha 8 Comments

Getting into shape is “one of those things” that many of us struggle with daily. We all want to look and feel great, but many of us weren’t born with perfect genes or a great metabolism. Couple that with the junk that is pumped into food these days (yes, yay for technology) and busy lives, and it’s just not easy, is it? It’s no wonder why so many people make losing weight or personal fitness their New Year’s resolution. Did you start off strong in January, but now that February is here, you are wavering a little? Kohl’s has your back.

They have great sales on everything you need to lose weight and get into shape (without breaking the bank). I love all the bright colors as well- with a winter that seems like it will drag on for all eternity, it is nice to at least wear the colors that the outside world is missing, yes?

I belong to a local gym, which is helpful for me, because I really dislike this cold weather, and I promise you I would not be out in it much for walks or whatnot. I am outside as little as humanly possible right now, so I am grateful for that membership! Another option that I utilize is at-home workout DVDs and yoga. Kohl’s has a fairly wide variety of both DVDs and workout equipment, from weights to yoga mats and more. They carry all the brands you know, trust, and love, as well as the DVDs with trainers you really want to watch. Even better news- they are all on sale.

French Toast For All Your School Uniform Needs

December 17, 2014 by Samantha 9 Comments

Disclosure- I received the below in order to facilitate my post. All opinions are my own and honest. I am disclosing this in accordance to FTC Guidelines. Please see “Disclose” tab for more information.

My son is growing like a weed, which is both awesome and sickening. His shoe size is almost the same as mine, and he is only 7. Gross….but at the same time, it’s amazing. Mommies….can’t stand for their babies to grow up, ha. He attends a school that requires uniforms, which honestly makes getting dressed in the morning all that much easier.

He looks like such a big boy! Everything he is wearing is from French Toast, the clothing and school uniform company. We did shop around, and I can say without a doubt that this is the fastest, easiest, and least expensive way to get his uniforms. I think it is also the best, and though this year his school is not registered with French Toast, I hope to encourage them to to so by next year. I was not thrilled having to go to a store 25 minutes away, stand in line, make my order, then wait 30 minutes more to have it filled just for a few things that needed to be embroidered. VERY annoying. French Toast does it all- plus faster, less costly, and delivers to my door with the same school uniform quality you would get in the pricey store. BLAH. I told them about French Toast and gave them a catalog- so lets hope they come around.

prAna Winter Style and a $250 Giveaway

November 29, 2014 by Samantha 76 Comments

Winter is far from my favorite season; the cold, the snow, the slippery roads- you can keep it. The only good think I can think of about winter is the adorable clothes that you get to wear. There really is nothing like a warm, snuggely sweater on a chilly day, or cuddling up on the couch in something soft and toasty when the weather outside is frightening.

If you are looking to spruce up your wardrobe this season, make sure you head to prAna. This is a pretty cool company, and they make some really cool clothes. (Soft, too!) Prana is Sanskrit for breath, life and vitality of the spirit. As you might have imagined, the company began by selling clothing for yoga and a meditative lifestyle. They now sell clothing that works well in all the parts of your busy life.

They are a conscious company as well, taking steps to be aware and mindful of the environment and people. They use fewer toxins and chemicals when manufacturing, and work to use as little energy, water and chemicals as possible. They avoid using processes that can cause harm to people or the environment, and create their clothing with organic cotton, natural fibers and recycled materials. Additionally, prAna helped pioneer Fair Trade Certified apparel and became the first major company in North America to produce and market Fair-Trade Certified styles. How cool is that?

Need Winter Boots? Quick, Head to Stride Rite!

November 18, 2014 by Samantha 3 Comments

Disclosure- I received the below in order to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own and honest. Please see “Disclose” tab for more info.

We all know that with winter upon us, snow will follow (and for some, it has already started). You don’t want your little ones to be without snow boots when the time comes, so if you haven’t yet, grab a pair. We just got these Merrell Snowbank Waterproof Boots from Stride Rite, and my son says they are super warm.

While we have not had the chance to test them in the snow yet (thankfully) we did try them in the rain, and his feet stayed dry. I also like the way they look- very cute.

A bit more info on the shoes-

“The kid’s Snowbank mixes function and fashion. The elastic cord and lock lacing system offer a secure fit and cool look. This boot is great for winter weather because it features M-Select DRY and M-Select WARM to keep his feet comfy, cozy and away from moisture.”
