Kids Shoes - Whats Trending Posted by Unknown | Saturday, August 24

Shoes say something... they are an expression just like an accessory. Your shoes can say a lot about your style and personality even for our kids. Let your kids have a little fun when picking out their shoes this season. Remember my Back to School style board? I am collecting all of the current trends and style ideas for you to gain inspiration and put looks together for less. For example, in the looks above, we could find similar pieces at more budget friendly stores but then maybe splurge on the shoes because those are the statement. Here are some current trend shoes for Fall... some are pricy but get inspired and then scout similar for less. 

Do you have a shoe explosion in your house like me? 5 kids equals a lot of shoes and it' not going to change any time soon. So my goal... create a space near the entry way to give each of the kids a home base they could take ownership of. Check out this ittle series about the  "faux mudroom"  

Old Navy Work Out Gear Posted by Unknown | Tuesday, May 28

Summer is here, school is out and my anxiety is up thinking about what to do with 5 kids and how to manage the day to day schedule. I will be writing more on this later in the week, but since I am on my way to loosing my final 10 pounds, I thought I would share some Old Navy work out clothes that are working for me! They are affordable, which is great, but also they stay up!  What I mean is, too many times have I been in a work out class, jumping up and down and as I do... my pants fall down in the process. There are yoga pants for every day running errands like the Pink line from Victoria Secret which sit low and fold over, and then there are active pants, that come up higher and are tighter. When I hit the gym, I am not going for a casual walk, I am killin the cardio and need pants that stay on. The other great thing about these pics, is I can just take my tennis shoes off throw on some flip flops and another tank top and run my errands after working out and still look pulled together. I spend much of my time in work out gear. I have some expensive brands and honestly they just don't compare to the fit of Old Navy.  I remember buying the Nike pants after watching Oprah's favorite things. I spent $50 on the pants and they just didn't fit right, they were a bit to short and short in the crotch. So for now, I will stick with the $22 pants, oh and my 2 pairs of lululemon that were passed down to me from my mom.
