Good Things (July/August 2019)

Sep42019

Although I always hate to see the end of Summer, I’m going to give a the back-to-school schedule and a quiet house top billing on this month’s Good Things list. I rarely turn on the TV or music when I’m home alone–do you?

Since I missed July’s post, I’m doubling up on Good Things this month:

This very affordable brand for workout clothing, like these tanks, capri leggings and pants.

This Etsy art shop for quirky, colorful portraits.

I went back to my favorite root spray.

Love the button collar on these sweatshirts. . .

And the color of this pleated midi dress.

This classic trench for under $50.

These slip-on sneakers have arrived and I’m a fan.

This is the other shoe purchase I made for Fall.

I added these planters to our front porch–and kept the faux topiaries in them.

I also changed up our door mat.

This Better Homes & Gardens gold flatware–now at a lower price.

These gold “bamboo” hoops from Holland & Birch.

After much searching, this rug just arrived for our living room. Stay tuned. . .

Love the look of these delicate rings.

My blender finally gave out so I bought this one.

Many of you have been following the journey of Lindsay’s 7-year-old daughter over the last week. One way we can support her is to make a purchase from her online art store that her team is still running while she’s away or to donate through their GoFundMe page. Also join me in praying for a miracle in her complete recovery.

The Saturday 6

Aug242019

ONE. Lots of style around NYC in this designer’s portfolio.

TWO. The cutest greenhouse project.

THREE. An eclectic Chicago home.

FOUR. An historic home in Colonial Williamsburg gets a big renovation.

FIVE. A Seattle designer’s warm and cozy portfolio.

SIX. My oldest daughter and I have found all kinds of cute things on this site. Many are pretty good knock-offs of designer pieces but the prices are very reasonable–and returns are free.

Back to School Shopping With My Girl

Jul302019

This post is sponsored by Walmart.

I’ve found that the main difference in getting my twins ready for school in the mornings is that he’s perfectly happy to wear athletic shorts and a t-shirt every day of the week. No hard decisions and I’m fine with that. His sister, on the other hand, likes options–and lots of them. One morning, she may wake up feeling like Sporty Spice and the next, Fancy Nancy. A girl has to be prepared for any mood–right? I’m doing a lot of her back-to-school shopping at Walmart this year for that very reason. I’m finding the cutest play dresses, athletic hoodie/legging sets, stylish sneakers, and adorable backpacks at great prices.

It’s also been our tradition for the last several years for me to take each kid out by themselves before school starts up again. It usually consists of picking up a few supplies and ends with a treat.

We found several other fun combinations that met her approval. . . The great thing about Walmart Fashion is their 2-day free shipping on most orders over $35 and free returns. You can ship the order to your home or pick up at your local store, sometimes as soon as same day. I’m for anything that makes back-to-school easier on the mama!
