Good Finds
Today I had the chance to go to Kohl’s all by myself! I had found some necklaces online and fell in love with them but when I went to order them they were gone. Well today was my lucky day because I found all the necklaces I wanted on SUPER clearance in the store!
If you like gaudy necklaces then I suggest you run to your nearest Kohl’s and do what I did….but the same necklace in all four colors 
The total was $35 for 6 necklaces and one pair of earrings, I had a $5 coupon and had an in-store-credit so I spent a grand total of $0! That’s my favorite kind of shopping!
After Kohl’s I met my sisters-in-law at the Sarasota splash park with the kids and we had a great time playing in the water and then on the playground. The boys were officially worn out! Here’s proof
Happy Tuesday!

Show Us Your Life – Fashion Tips
I didn’t think I had anything to share today, but then I remembered this
Yes, I was voted Best Dressed my senior year of high school, certainly that must make me a certified guru…right? Think again. Since having children I feel like I am clinging to whatever smidgen of “style” I have left. I no longer have the money or the time to pour over style magazines, so here are the “tips” I have used to get me through the transitions of pregnancy, motherhood and the in-betweens!
1. LAYER – If something is too low-cut, too short, or just too plain then layer it with a tank top or lace-trimmed cami for a little versatility. I layer everything; tee-shirts, button-ups, sweaters, cardigans, everything.
2. Own a jean jacket – Let me preface this by saying I do NOT wear my jean jacket with JEANS. I have 3 jean jackets, I wear them over dresses, with skirts, with bermuda shorts, it’s the perfect way to keep warm and still be cute.
3. If you like something, try it – I am all about trying something trendy. I wore (fake) Uggs with mini-skirts, ponchos and flowers in my hair in high school because that was what I saw in the magazines….and I totally got made fun of, but I didn’t care because I liked it!
4. Own something girly – There are times when you want to feel dressed up in jeans and it’s always good to have a sparkly, frilly, metallic or flirty top to dress up a plain pair of jeans.
5. Accessories, accessories, accessories – As a mommy there are days that I just do not want to wear anything but shorts and a tank top, but you can bet that I will at least have a big ol’ pair of dangly earrings on. In the winter I will wear a solid color tee with a scarf to make it more exciting. Accessories are the best way to take an outfit from one trend period to another. I love fashion jewelry because you can find it cheap, which is great because in two weeks it will be out of style anyways 
6. Sport a bright smile – Any outfit looks better with pearly whites! (Yes, I realize I sound like a commercial right now!) I started using Crest White Strips in high school and one box made a HUGE difference, I still use about one box a year. Remember, you’re never fully dressed without a SMILE! (Insert cheesy grin here)

Show Us Your Life – Where you shop
I love to shop. I love to find a deal even more. The most expensive garment I have ever purchased was my wedding dress and I got it 50% off! I feel like I’m splurging if I spend $20 on a top. I’m not even kidding, I’m soooo cheap! When I go into a store I go straight to the clearance section, then if I have time I will browse the rest of the store.
Having said that I love to shop at Target, TJ Maxx, Marshalls and Ross. I go to those places because *most* everything is already cheap and then if you get it on the clearance rack it’s an even better deal! But I also love hunting for deals at department stores.
I love going to Macy’s and shopping their clearance. I really like the INC brand that they carry, but woo hoo is it pricey. So I always look at their clearance when they have an extra 50% off.
Another favorite department store is Kohl’s. I grew up shopping at Kohl’s, but when I moved to Florida there were none to be found! Thankfully we just got one about 20 minutes away and I have really enjoyed being able to shop there again.
Kohls is aways having awesome sales and it makes everything very reasonably priced and they are wonderful about returns and exchanges. I also find some of my favorite jewelry at Kohls.
They also carry great kids clothes, from cheap play clothes, to Carter’s to Chaps. I love Kohl’s! haha
Happy Shopping!

Every Florida Mom…..
…needs a great bathing suit! Spencer and I went to the mall on Sunday afternoon. Our Dillard’s is going out of business and I decided to take a quick look around. Let me just say…I love hunting a good deal. TJMaxx, Marshalls, Target…I love to scour the clearance racks for a good buy. With that being said, I have never been in such a BIG mess of a store in all my life. I almost gave up because everything was so unorganized and overwhelming. But luckily I looked long enough to find this…
Since I have had my boys I have not been able to find a bathing suit that is flattering, supportive, not black and less that $100! Well I found exactly what I was looking for in this suit! (Plus it was less than $30!) I knew that if I passed it up I would be kicking myself next summer. Besides, I have to try and look half as cute as my little fish!

Little Men and a Day of Denim
Spencer was so excited this morning. He was going to get up and fix a man’s breakfast…pancakes, eggs and bacon. He loves teaching Andrew how to do “man” things, you know, how to eat a big meal, how to dig in the dirt, how to dress like man, how to enjoy a summer snack, how to play ball.
Joshua can’t wait to learn “man” things too.
He looks forward to the day where he doesn’t have to go shopping with me because I am the only one capable of nourishing him for the time being.
But I would like to think he was happy for the denim deals I got today!
We went to Kohl’s because I had a return and a gift card and this is what we ended up with.
Denim bermuda shorts – $7.20 Denim crops – $8.80 Cute jeans (because for the last 2 winters my jeans have needed an elastic waist!) – $24.99 Banana Republic jeans from a local consignment shop – $15
So with a gift card plus a merchandise credit I got all of the above for a grand total of $18.15…I was pretty proud.
Remember how I didn’t have any spending money? Well yesterday I decided to roll our jar of change to see how much was in there….any guesses? $84….what a nice surprise! So the mister and I both got some spending money. So I treated myself to these as well…
Happy Weekend!
