“But I don’t want to look like you”…
I really don’t like to shop for make-up. I am too easily tempted by the allure of shiny, new containers and perfectly perfect colors. I love the soft lights and the magic mirrors that make you feel 10 years younger and double that thinner. Fortunately, I don’t have to do it that often because what [...]

Jeans are (by far) my favorite item of clothing. I love the versatility of jeans — truly, anything goes. You can dress them up, dress them down… all with simple and fast changes. Here’s a video of a quick change — (sorry about the lighting on this video!)
Fashion Don't(ing) it in Texas

Filed under Audrey, Mom Fashion Report
Yes. I spied 2 distinct Fashion DON’Ts while in Texas at SXSW. It all comes down to wearing the “right” jeans. Fashion DON’T #1: Yes… that is a tapered jean with sneakers. It’s so Jerry Seinfeld(ish). What should have been done? Bootcut jeans. Plain and simple. A little bit of a flair would have done [...]
Breyers and Hershey’s… I owe you!
While Audrey was attending SXSW, I was not enforcing discipline, rules, orderliness or limitations on her 4 little guys. I gave no advice or training. And I did not curb any enthusiasm. Instead, I dispensed ice cream and chocolate syrup. You heard me right. I had them eating out of the palm of my hand. [...]

My good friend Lori over at A Cowboy’s Wife let me video her FASHION DO while in Texas. Considering she’s a Texas girl, I thought it was appropriate! I love the way she makes use of her belt… check it out! Who needs belt loops!? (Thanks to Colleen from Classy Mommy for videoing and Arianne [...]
SXSW 2009
I had no idea what to expect heading into SXSW. As a part of Walmart’s Elevenmoms, and thanks to Huggies and Juicy Juice, I was able to spend 5 days in Austin, TX at SXSW. Let me set the stage. I had never been to Austin. I hadn’t met all of the Elevenmoms. I’m not [...]

I just walked through the door. I’m home from SXSW! I had such an amazing, amazing time… BUT, I’m glad to be home. Seeing the boys jumping up and down as I came down the stairs at the airport brought tears to my eyes. Which brings me to my quick fashion advice for today… (and [...]
Sometimes the littlest family members help the most
When I wrote a post recently about how I’m going through a little rough patch in my personal life, I mentioned how fortunate I am to have such a wonderful, supportive family to help me through it. The comments I received on that post said much of the same (again, THANK YOU for all your [...]
Fashion Advice: All about bra straps
March 16, 2009 by Audrey
Filed under Audrey, Mom Fashion Report
I’m still at SXSW, but wanted to post my daily fashion tip. Bra strap visibility is a big fashion DON’T! So hide those bra straps, ladies. One great way to do this? With Strappy’s. Because I think we can all agree, visible bra straps are a bit tacky, especially when they can be avoided.
CONFESSION: I’ve been sleeping with 3 guys
Don’t judge me, please. It’s not as easy as it sounds. Take last night, for example. We all settled into bed together. Yes, together. I’ve been thinking of getting a king size bed for these special nights, but the queen size must do for the time being. I looked at the clock. It was 9:30 [...]
