For Mother’s Day, I received a beautiful charm from Not Just Any Old Day. The solid sterling silver calendar charm is marked with a clear Swarovski crystal for my son’s April birthday. You can select from 12 different birthstones to customize your charm.

I don’t want to wear high-waisted mom jeans, but I’m also not a fan of plumber butt. I worry about exposing my undies- or worse- when I bend over to pick up the baby. So when I heard about the IsABelt, a clear belt that keeps your pants up without the bulk of a traditional belt, I was excited.

They had me at saving women from slavery…

Politics aside, every woman- whether Democrat or Republican- can celebrate Michelle Obama’s preference for hip yet comfortable flats. During my single days, I would suffer for fashion in high heels. But the birth of my son has turned me into a style pragmatist. If you want to keep up with your kids, flats are a must.  
So I couldn’t be happier to see a high profile woman- especially one who has been celebrated by Vanity Fair and Vogue for her fashion choices- wearing practical yet cute flats. Unafraid to pair flats with …

Shopping is more fun when you can actually afford to buy things.  And discount stores like Marshalls have some great deals on brands I might otherwise not be able to afford.  This is especially great with children’s clothing and shoes, which they outgrow so quickly!
