Back To School With Kohl’s

August 19, 2015 by Samantha 7 Comments

With back to school right around the corner, moms and dads everywhere are scrambling to get everything our kids want and need for the upcoming year. Most of our kids have the “required” back to school items like certain notebooks, pens and pencils, and of course new backpacks and lunchboxes- because none of our kids can manage to NOT ruin those from the previous year. However, besides the required back to school classroom supplies, most kids will also need new clothes for the new school year- they grow too fast. I have been griping about this all week- where has my little boy gone?

One place I like to shop for my son is Kohl’s. As most of you know, we are big fans of Kohl’s, both in store and online. One of the best things about shopping at Kohl’s is that you can find everything you need for everyone in your family all in one place- and if they happen to run out of a size or you don’t feel like running to the store, there is always http://www.kohls.com . It just makes everything easier to have options.

Back to School with OshKosh B’Gosh #backtobgosh #BgoshJeanius

August 10, 2015 by Samantha 5 Comments

I participated in a Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for OshKosh B’Gosh. I received a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

OshKosh B’gosh have been around since 1895 starting business as overall manufacturers in OshKosh, Wisconsin for adults. Soon after they began making these same overalls a bit smaller for their customers’ children and the story began. Since then, OshKosh have made quality children’s clothing and currently have stores across the country. With back to school upon us, you can stock up on jeans, jackets, t-shirts, jeggings for girls, and everything you need to help your kid keep in style this year.

As some of you who follow me on social media might know, I recently have had some car issues. No worries, we can shop online with OshKosh, and get delivery right to our door. You can grab not only blue jeans, but also great overalls, and items from the cute new Black, White & Indigo Collection- whatever strikes your fancy (and of course, the kiddo’s should they want to shop with you). The quality and quantity of items available and the prices of the garments is great- you don’t need to spend a fortune to look like a million bucks. We picked up 3 pairs of pants, 3 pairs of shorts, a package of underpants (3), a sweatshirt, tank top, 2 t-shirts, and a button up shirt, all for just under $100 including shipping. Quite a good haul, I’d say.

My son loves warm, cuddly clothing (anything fuzzy and soft) but also has an appreciation for anything with animals or super heroes on it. There was lots of soft and cuddly clothes and quite a few with animals, as well. The OshKosh baby section also had tons of adorable baby wear if you are looking- and no, we are NOT!

Summer is fast approaching, and it lately feels like it’s here already. Doesn’t it feel like we skipped spring? It’s about that time that we need to refresh summer wardrobes, grab what you need for that upcoming vacation or roadtrip, and make sure your kid’s sandals fit. What, they don’t? Of course they don’t, they never do!

20150505_155058

I don’t like to spend a lot of time going from store to store to get what I need. As a busy working wife and mother, I have a lot of hats I wear on a daily basis, and any way I can trim time I spend doing those “must do” activities is a bonus for me. That’s one of the many reasons I love shopping at Kohl’s- whether you shop in stores or online, it’s a one stop shopping experience that you don’t need to spend tons of time and energy on. Bonus? The prices are great- you can catch amazing deals, get rewarded just for shopping and buying what you need to (with Kohl’s Cash, good for anything in the store) AND they constantly mail out money saving coupons in the weekly mailers, snail mail, and the best ones come via email when you sign up to receive promotions. Really, you should- there is not a reason in the world not to. They only send you deals and updates, Kohl’s is not one of those places that bombard you with useless emails 300 times a week.

While I usually enjoy shopping, shopping for my husband and son can be a less then fun experience, and one I prefer to either do alone or online. My son is OK if he’s with me, but if daddy is also with us, he turns into a whine machine. I don’t know why that is, but the quickness and ease of shopping at Kohl’s and getting what I need to for everyone in the family with no fuss is VERY appreciated by this mommy, let me tell you. Maybe it’s a guy thing- but they just don’t make shopping fun, and it’s great to go in with a list, sizes, and be done with it. Shopping online at 2 am is another great standby. No one annoys me then, and since they are both dudes? They don’t care what I buy them as long as it fits, and for the kiddo maybe has an Angry Bird or two involved, haha.

Clarks Shoes for Fashion and Function

May 26, 2015 by Samantha 5 Comments

My son and I are not often given the chance to coordinate outfits or have something that compliments each other’s outfits. I always thought that Moms with girls were given that opportunity, but Moms of boys were out of luck. It’s not something I would push on him, but it would be cute for occasions. Sometimes, I just want that moment, you know, the moment of look how cute these two are!

Clasks USA gave my son and I a chance to have that moment via amazingly stylish, functional and comfortable footwear. They match, but are not overly “matchy-matchy” in that obnoxious way, and we can both wear them normally in our wardrobe.

I got to try out Womens Desert Boot Core in Oakwood Suede. Let me tell you a little more about this boot.

Inspired by the crepe-soled boots worn by British officers in World War II. Crafted from natural materials including oakwood suede for supreme comfort, its timeless styling has remained unchanged for over 60 years. Wear the original women’s Desert® Boot anywhere and celebrate vintage style.

This boot was instantly love at first foot in! No matter where go, these boots are comfortable, stylish and functional. No matter where I wear them, they get compliments. I like that I can dress up a pair of jeans or add a pretty texture to a skirt.

My son got to rock a pair of Clarks USA Boys Dessert Boot Youth. These are great for active kids. He can wear them with his uniform, with his regular “play clothes”, with a nicer outfit, and this is the perfect choice in footwear for outings. Not great for wet weather, since they are suede, and we have not treated them yet.

We both liked the available colors in both the ladies and boys styles. We thought getting mother son shoes was a fun experience. Overall I have been more than pleased with the Clark’s USA line of footwear.

Looking for the Perfect Travel Purse?

May 21, 2015 by Samantha 5 Comments

If you give me a big purse, I will carry everything in it. I do mean everything. Snacks for the kid, tissues, lip balm, hand cleaning products…the list goes on and on.
Ladies, I am going to let you in on a little trick. The secret to looking great while on the go doesn’t require effort. It requires you to find a style that flatters you, that is comfortable, and that will enhance your your wardrobe subtly. Who would have thought that adding a bag to your look could be a game changer?

20150502_195156 I am not talking about any bag either. I am talking about a Baliboca bag. These are pretty sweet for a Mom on the go. If I am dashing off to an after school event with the kid, or having a family fun day at the Zoo. My Baliboca Neoprene Shoulder Bag is great. I stays with me, requires no hands, and best of all, it can discreetly slip under my coat or sweatshirt if I want.

Now this is huge. You don’t want to know how many times I have been the lady that could just drag a suitcase in wheels around for all of the stuff motherhood requires. The Baliboca shoulder bag is great for helping me just say no to becoming a walking vending machine.

Refresh Your Child’s Wardrobe this Spring with RUUM

March 30, 2015 by Samantha 7 Comments

I don’t know about your kids, by mine grew like a weed over the winter months. He is going to be taller then me by the time he is ten, I swear. That being said, with Spring right around the corner (and here for much of the USA), we have the perfect excuse to refresh and brighten up our kid’s wardrobes.

My son loves his new duds- he says they are soft (the thing that he cares most about) and comfortable. He has worn the pants the most, as it is still winter weather here, and the sweater as well. We are looking forward to T-Shirt and shorts weather- when will that be, again? April is in a second….

With just a few clicks of your mouse, you can pick up some basic upgrades for your children this season. Head to http://www.ruum.com/ , they have some fun sales going on right now. The clothes are also fashion forward for the kid who worries about keeping up with trends and styles, and they are easy to mix and match.
