You know how bees are to honey? Well… that’s me to sales.  I don’t buy any fashion/beauty item unless I’m getting a great deal.  You know how there are people who are really good with coupon shopping in a grocery store?  That’s me with anything fashion/beauty related.  I’m a fanatic for a good sale! There are certain weekends throughout the [...]

Totes are VERY much in style this Spring/Summer… BIG TOTES! The bigger, the better. I covet Lands’ End and L.L.Bean canvas totes. I can fit everything and anything in them, not to mention, they’re so affordable, you can easily get a new one each season. I was having this conversation with a girlfriend last week, and she said that it’s [...]

Organization is an absolute necessity in my life.  It always has been.  I think I inherited this characteristic from both my Mom & Dad.  My Mom followed my Navy Dad with our family from coast-to-coast for most of my childhood… and she refused to lose things.  Each of us 3 kids had our own drawers, closet space, towel rack in [...]

These are some beautiful words when you’re shopping online… Where can you get this right now!!?? L.L.Bean has FREE SHIPPING on all orders right now! No minimum buy… ! NO. MINIMUM. BUY. The best words to hear!! I’m ordering this bag as I type… Rangeley Tote (b/c Rangeley, ME is one of my favorite places!)

I was on L.L.Bean last week while I was perusing for backpacks for my son William. With kindergarten starying in the Fall, he’s most excited about getting a new backpack and lunchbox for school. It’s the cutest thing in the world to me. While I was on L.L.Bean I realized they are having a Daily Markdown Sale going on. Everyday [...]

I know my mother will love this fashion trend (right Mom?)… L.L.Bean offers their classic “Bean Tee” with an Insect Shield.  That’s right — built-in insect repellent. I thought this was absolutely fantastic… especially with mosquitoes and ticks being so prevalent in the summer.  Classic fashion style with a practical twist.  I love it. Or as L.L.Bean describes… Invisible, Odorless [...]

There’s one bag that has saved my life (so far) this summer. (And – half of last summer!) L.L.Bean’s Boat and Tote Bag. I must look like a walking circus walking into our pool club. I’ve got the 4 boys. I’ve got towels and bathing suits and lotions and swimmies and goggles and pool toys and extra clothing and anything [...]
