le tote :: unlimited clothing rental (plus a way to save!)

Posted on May 1, 2015May 4, 2015 by Gina

Do any of you tend to have a “uniform”?  I’m not talking about a dress code here–just a go-to style that you tend to gravitate toward.  For me, it’s fitted t-shirts and jeans.  A cardigan sweater in the winter.  Sometimes boots, sometimes flats.  Often a scarf or necklace thrown in.   It’s comfortable.  It’s easy….

the bouqs :: a fabulous find for fresh flowers

Posted on April 24, 2015April 28, 2015 by Gina

After a friend of mine had her fourth baby, I wanted to send some flowers. I looked online at my options and by the time service and delivery charges were added up, I was going to spend around $50 for what amounted to a rose and a few cheap carnations. But now that I’ve found…

jonas paul eyewear :: kids glasses with function and style

Posted on April 14, 2015April 18, 2015 by Gina

Shopping for children’s eyewear is not for the faint of heart.  Both of my older children wear glasses and my son’s prescription changes about every 3 months, so we’ve had our fair share of comparison shopping, failed attempts at ordering glasses online, and disappointment at the selection out there for kids.  The last time we…

wantable :: my favorite subscription box for #springfashion {or anytime}!

Posted on April 10, 2015April 21, 2015 by Gina

Subscription boxes are so much fun. Items handpicked for me, delivered to my door each month. But so many of those subscriptions come with a hefty price tag. Wantable is the best of both worlds. Personalized, on-trend fashion and beauty products delivered straight to my door at a significant discount of the normal retail price….

Posted on April 7, 2015April 8, 2015 by Gina

Preschool is the foundation for academic learning.  Children are exposed to the building blocks of math, literacy and science.  My son isn’t quite old enough for traditional preschool, but I wanted to start teaching him some basics here at home without the stress of lesson planning and strict schedules.  A great introduction to concepts in…

hello fresh :: review and contest announcement

Posted on April 3, 2015April 8, 2015 by Gina

It happens every day. Almost as soon as the kids get home from school, the inevitable question comes: “What’s for dinner?” And the response is all-too-often followed with a groan. It’s gotten so bad I’ve been tempted to ban the question completely. But when there’s been a Hello Fresh delivery, my kids are actually excited…

organize your shower without a rusty wire caddy :: shower surfer review

Posted on March 31, 2015April 8, 2015 by Gina

Our wire shower caddy was not working out for us. Not only did our things not fit well, but my razor was always precariously balanced and inevitably ended up on the shower floor. Yes, bending down to pick up a razor isn’t a huge deal, but I don’t want my kids accidentally cutting themselves. And,…
