This week was short but sweet, and by sweet I mean bittersweet with the start of school and beginning of the end of summer. The best news in this edition of Friday finds comes in the form of seamless shorts, which you need ASAP for all your casual transitional looks. However you’re transitioning into this season of change and uncertainty, remember to take care of yourself. Change is the hardest but most beautiful part of life.…
In years past, I did a little fall decor update, but went light on Halloween house decorating. Since they’re getting older, my kids are really into Halloween, and because I am doing my best to make this year extra special for them, I surprised them with some spooky decorating while they were out of the house (except for Rocky, who was my little assistant). They love it, and I had a lot of fun doing it. Hope you enjoy my…
First order of business this weekend: soak up every last bit of summer. As luck would have it, we need not lose any time poolside or seaside because we can shop from right where we are. Truth be told, I expected steeper discounts from some retailers (who shall remain nameless and subsequently are excluded from this list). However, there are still good deals to be found from end of season staples to new fall pieces and back to school styles.…
Today I’m sharing a little update to our sons’ Jack and Jill bathroom, which my two boys share. The renovation work was minimal, and I think it goes to show that sometimes a little update is all that is needed to transform a space.

It blows my mind to think that some of our grandmothers were unable to vote, so to honor them, let’s perform our civic duty and get out and vote in November. Do it for your foremothers, do it for yourself, your sisters, and your daughters. I’m happy to see some of my favorite brands, from Chaser…
Man this week is a good one on the interwebs for two of my favorite things: reading and shopping. There is an important anniversary that has nothing to do with Nordstrom, and some pretty sweet deals on forward looking fall fashion and end of the summer season closeouts. Here are this week’s Friday Finds:…
Happy National Bow Day! I am new to the bow game, and my daughter needs them as her hair is now at that stage where her bangs hang in her eyes but any haircut she could possibly get would turn her into Lloyd of Dumb And Dumber fame. To save her from her first bad haircut, I’ve tried all of the baby hair accessories and these are the best baby bows:…
