The Zulily iPhone App is the most dangerous thing I’ve ever installed on my phone. I was a latecomer to the wonderful world of Zulily, mainly because I was too lazy to actually go to their website. But somehow I managed to stumble across the iPhone app, and here I am. A complete Zulily addict. […]
A Denim Miracle.
Update: Due to significant changes in the company and a terrible downward spiral in denim quality, I no longer recommend shopping through Vault Denim. I now buy all of my jeans through Nordstrom Rack’s app, HauteLook, which regularly features my favorite brands of designer jeans at half the cost. I highly recommend it! My current […]
A Denim Discovery of Profound Importance.
The battle against Mom Jeans is a constant one – something that we all have to be ever-vigilant about. It was, I’m ashamed to say, a battle I myself was losing less than a decade ago. Perhaps this is what fueled my fire to take such a strong stand against it. Much evidence of my […]
Stuff I Like, v.2
This is simply a bunch of random stuff I’ve run across lately (or not-so-lately) that I think is awesome. Nobody has paid me or asked me to say any of this. The first post in this series can be found here. Windows Live Writer If you’re blogging and not using Live Writer, I highly recommend […]
A Few of My (New) Favorite Things.
Thanks to Christmas, new babyness, and other events lately, I’ve run into a few cool new things that are making my daily life easier and more fun. (And, for the record, I was not asked to promote any of these items, nor do the companies mentioned know that I’m writing about them, They just rock […]
A Worthy Addition for Your Christmas Wish List.
Do you love hiking, but just feel so un-sexy when you wear tennis shoes? Or do you have a hangover-from-the-early-90’s-love for Teva Sandals that is so strong that you wish you could wear your 20-year-old-with-the-frayed-edges-favorite-sandals to weddings? Or have you just always just had a keen desire to wear thick, wool, hiking socks with stiletto […]
I’ll Have a Presidential Christmas…
We have a new Christmas store in our mall this year, and it has every type of Christmas ornament that you could ever desire. And so, for a three year old little girl who absolutely adores Christmas, it’s the funnest toy store in the whole mall. But despite the glittery fairies and the pink princesses […]
Exploring (New) Birmingham
When I was a little girl, my impression of Birmingham’s downtown area was a jumble of closed up, falling apart, and run-down buildings. My Mom would tell me of their grandness when she was a child, and I would daydream as to what it must have been like to dress up in my Sunday best […]
The Second Annual Holiday Shopping (Un)Guide.
It’s that time again…the time that all of the crazy baby catalogs in my mailbox have to move over to make room for all of the even crazier toy catalogs. I seriously just need to put a dumpster out front – the mailbox just isn’t cutting it. And, since I wrote you a shopping guide […]
Kiosk Warfare: A Guide for Survival.
The mall is a glorious place for Moms of young children. Akin to an indoor playground for both Mother AND Child, it is full of glee-filled places such as Toy Stores, hot dog trucks, carousels, and, of course, shopping. But it doesn’t come without it’s risks – without the dangers of attack. The Kiosk Predators. […]
