Talbots Sale

My cousin Sara alerted me on some great sale deals at Talbots and I couldn't resist this cute sweater dress.  I got it in black, I hope it fits ok ... sign says "all sales final" which always makes me nervous!  I think it will cute with black tights and tall black boots.   Fingers crossed for a good fit.   Stay tuned!!

UPDATE:  Dress is here and is super cute!  Not too clingy - I ordered a med which size form says fits 10/12.  I usually wear an 8 but didn't love the idea of wearing a dress designed to fit 6/8.  I don't think I've been a 6 since high school and it scared me.  The size I chose is definitely a smidge big - might need a belt to give if a bit more shape.  I don't love to accentuate my waist though - after 4 kids, let's just say it's not my best feature :)   Long story short - I am pretty pleased with this "final sale" purchase.  It's a pretty classic looking dress that will work for a variety of occasions!

Hot Holiday Tip

Chances are, if you have a little girl between the ages of say 3-8 this little gem might be on their Christmas list

Apparently FurReal has about a 5 million dollar advertising budget because you really can't avoid the commercials if you tried.  They run approximately ever 4 seconds. 

Go Go here retails for $50.  She's marked down to $45 at Target and in their circular there is a $10 coupon that EXPIRES TODAY (Wed 11/24) so I got this bitch (get it?  female dog) for $35 dollars!!!!  SCORE!!  So run, don't walk, and don't trample anyone to Target and enjoy the savings.  xo, Brie

PS take an advil or 2 before you go because once you put Go Go in your cart it will bark throughout the entire store annoying both you and other nearby shoppers

Illuminations

I LOVE candles by Illumination! Just ONLY found out today that they are going OOB. Another one bites the dust.... it's getting depressing. It's slim pickins over there but they are having a blow out of closing sale. All of the "biggie" jars were gone in my favorite scents but I was able to get a few of the medium jars for 6.75 (marked down from 18!!) I also picked up a few wall plug ins for 2.80 says they last for 4-6 weeks and I always have a few rooms that could use some discreet freshening ;) Run don't walk to Illuminations and use code 999201406 for an additional 25% off your entire order! xo, Brie

I only like putting a vase of flowers or lighting a great candle in a CLEAN room so this is always great incentive to keep on top of things :D

Channel your Inner Princess

This time of year is always so crazy... I've been a bad blogger and am working on getting my act together! With school starting up, fall sports, school changes, Liam's bday (Happy Birthday Liam xoxox) etc I feel like my Jenga tower is on the verge of toppling at any moment.

We had a great weekend with my parents here for a visit and we had a party for Liam to celebrate his 8th bday on Saturday night. He is such a sweet boy and makes his crazy September bday so easy for frazzled mom. Rice Krispy treats for bday school snack - so nice and easy and way less stressful than frosting 30 cupcakes at 11pm!! Jersey Boy bagels for breakfast and pizza hut (his favorite) for dinner - these were all his choices, he's the best!!

I did have a creative spurt this weekend and made up a bunch of headbands to coordinate with the Disney princesses. These could be the perfect accessory for a cute Halloween costume, and I like them because they aren't so "over the top" that the girls would feel weird about wearing them to school! I see I forgot to make one to represent poor Princess Jasmine and I am going to remedy that tonight. My most sincere apologies to Jasmine! It also appears I have promoted Tinkerbelle to princess status as she "only a fairy". My response to that is - I like fairies - so there! These will debut this week with a special price of 10 dollars - a cute stocking stuffer or birthday party present!! Get yours Here!

I like the idea of channeling my inner princess and I am going to practice what I preach today. I have been feeling a boatload of stress lately (none of which I can talk about just yet) and I am going to take it easy and take baby steps until things become more manageable. I am a firm believer of taking care of yourself in order to be a better care provider! Try it and see :) xo, Brie
