Bamboosa Gift Set Giveaway

After writing about the bamboo headband last week, I got a nice thank you email from Mindy at Bamboosa. She asked if I’d be interested in doing a giveaway, and of course I said yes. She told me their socks are very popular, so I said I’d love to do a giveaway of their “Gift [...]

Last Chance

If you live in Phoenix, or find yourself in our fine city with some time for shoe shopping, I’d recommend swinging by Last Chance. It’s the end of the funnel for all Nordstrom returns, imperfect items and discontinued items. I’m pretty sure it’s the only one of its kind in the country. The quality varies, [...]

Cute as a button ponytail holders

I think my daughter is graduating from the bow phase to the ponytail phase. I just might have to get these cute little Lily Pulitzer fabric covered button ponytail holders from the LiliBug shop on Etsy. I ordered this bow from Lisa at LiliBug earlier this year and love it.
$4 for a set of two [...]

Lubber Totes

If you’ve been looking for a purse to match your Crocs - and by match, I mean look exactly like — then I’d say these Lubber Totes fit the bill. The bottom of the purse is even shaped like a shoe. Just make sure you don’t accidentally walk out of the house with your foot [...]

Study shows most sunscreens don't work

My sister just sent me an article about a study that says most sunscreens we’re using to protect our kids just don’t work. And the worst offenders are Coppertone, Banana Boat and Neutrogena. The Banana Boat Tear Free I’ve been using on my kids for years received a 9 out of 10 on the [...]

Pippalily Baby Slings

Pippalily baby slings are the fashionable creations of Canadian mom Victoria Turner. I must admit I was a Baby Bjorn wearer myself. I tried a sling with my son, but I felt like I was trying to stuff him into a tiny no-access pouch under my armpit. That said, I know that many women swear [...]

PB teen Bahamas Stripe Tote

I received my first PB teen catalog in the mail yesterday. And I must be a teen at heart, because I was loving just about everything in there, with one exception. What teen needs a 37″ plasma tv in the footboard of their bed? Seriously. However I do think these Bahamas Stripe Totes would make [...]

Kids Messenger Bags

I saw these last week and can’t stop thinking about them. They’re kids messenger bags, but I’m kind of wanting one for myself. It could help me transition out of my backpack phase. My favorite of the four available styles is this Sporty Stripes Cocoa.

Recycled Billboard Clutch

I’m heading out the door shortly for an anniversary date with my husband and I must say, it feels very strange to be transferring my essentials to a purse, instead of my daily backpack. I think this recycled billboard clutch from Target would give my outfit some eco edge. If you’re ordering online, you’ll need [...]
