Perfect Plaid Shawl….And you won’t believe the price!

No Comments

On a recent trip to Denver I had a few minutes to run a quick errand right next to their downtown Mall at the Pavilion. The weather quickly turned from snow to sleet so I popped in the Mall quick while the sleet subsided.  Perusing through Forever 21 I noticed a very nicely organized rack of plaid shawls and scarves.  They must have recently been stocked because as I looked around I noticed the entire store was neatly organized and clean.  Wishing I had more time to shop I went back to checking out the plaid shawls when a green one caught my eye… I looked at the price… $17.90!!!!!!!!  What a deal! I am extremely happy with my purchase and wish I had purchased a few more for gifts.  The color is beautiful and you simply can’t beat the price!  I have already worn this shawl three times and plan on packing it for the holidays.

Fancy This Time of Year

Who has enough time these days? I would guess many of us feel like we do not have enough time.  I personally struggle daily with prioritizing my time for work, family, friends and myself.  On top of the daily/weekly time predicament, now you add the holiday shopping, parties, traffic and travel.  I LOVE the Christmas […]

Little Man’s Woodland Nursery

No Comments

When we first found out we were having a little boy we talked about possible nursery themes: sports, cars, vintage planes, outdoor animals, sheep or solid colors.  I spent two days looking at possible nursery bedding options.  I literally found three that I liked but my husband was not in love with the options.  Frustrated, […]

Woodland Theme Baby Shower

No Comments

My family hosted a baby shower for me a few weekends back at my house on November 5th.  Having the shower at my home may have been a little more work on the expectant Momma (me) but SO worth it to not have to pack up all the wonderful gifts and travel home with them. For […]

At six months pregnant the baby bump is starting to make an appearance!  I am still in my normal clothes but each day a few less fit and honestly I was pretty surprised I could squeeze into this denim dress!!  Once I had it on and saw the little bump accentuated I knew I had […]
