Who are you shopping for this month? I actually just bought my first Christmas present for a loved one yesterday. Eek! I saw something 30% off and snagged it. It kind of blows my mind that we’ll be in full-blown Christmas shopping mode in two months, but for now let’s focus on the birthdays, anniversaries, and “just because” occasions that… Keep Reading

Shop Your Closet: 11 Outfits to Put Together This Fall
Throughout the last week or so, I’ve been doing a ton of “clothing inventory” for the girls and me to see what we still have in good condition and where we have gaps/needs.
