Christmas Tradition

Growing up my Mom and Dad created so many wonderful holiday traditions for our family.  Some of the most memorable were around Christmas and to this day we still celebrate almost all of them from when we were children. One of my most favorite family traditions is the matching pj’s. My sister and I used to wake up on Christmas morning to find a gift that Santa left us at the foot of the bed. Inside was always a brand new pair of pajamas with a note from Santa telling us to put them on before coming down stairs. It became something special that we used to, and still do, look forward to. Now that my sister and I are both married we have to share our holidays but every year we have Christmas at my parents we still wake up to find a package with brand new matching pj’s at the foot of the bed.   This year for our family pj’s I picked out a couple I liked and my hubby thought it was only fitting we went with the “Don’t Moose With Me” since Kade’s nickname is Moose! But, tomorrow Santa will be surprising my entire family with a new set of matching pj’s and I can’t wait to see them especially little ones for Kade.

{Shoptini Tip: After Christmas sales are the perfect time to pick up your matching family pj’s for next year!}

One Pom Or Two

This week I am visiting Lake Louise for the Audi FIS Ski World Cup competition. And it seemed only fitting I share my love for beanies since I am living in them all day up here! Besides keeping your head and ears warm beanies are great to hide those “I just rolled out of bed” […]

CYBER MONDAY / BLACK FRIDAY DEALS

The holiday shopping landscape has certainly changed over the past few years. When I think back to my childhood, Black Friday was known as the biggest shopping day of the year. It traditionally meant retail stores would open at 5am and offer steep door-buster discounts throughout the day.  A few years later, the e-commerce domination created […]

MAUVE MAXI

These days I’m finding I have less time to get ready in the morning than I’ve had just a few weeks ago. It might have something to do with the fact that it’s still dark at 7:00AM and I tend to sleep a little longer, or that I am just exhausted . Either way, I’m a […]

Shocker, like everything else, I of course […]

Ruffle Me This

I am happy to see that the “Ruffle” trend is not ending anytime soon because I am OBSESSED!  Ruffles are just one of those added details that can take an ordinary garment and turn it into extraordinary.  I don’t care what age you are ruffles are timeless… right up there with pearls, pink and tulle […]
