Last week before the boys left town, I took Nathan for his first official school supply shopping spree. I know, I know, I am so sentimental, but I can't help it. I LOVE school supply shopping and since Target had all their junk out already, I decided it would be best to take him early…

I seriously hate that children’s clothing retailers, including this one, have no shame in manufacturing boys shorts, pants and swim trunks with faux drawstrings! Seriously! Would it really kill them to make a functional piece of clothing? My boys are not hippy so they definitely need drawstrings on pants or adjustable waists. I mean why…

Today's been such a whirlwind of a day. With my mom and stepdad here we've enjoyed hanging out and visiting with each other. We headed out to the Plaza so I could get some back to school shopping done for N, who will of course need new jeans for fall. Jeez, am I already saying…

As I was sifting through my mail I noticed there were three envelopes with the Target logo all over them and thinking they might be credit card offers or some other kind of junk mail, I almost threw them away. Well, good thing I didn’t. In each envelope…

Today while taking a leisurely stroll through Target for some basic grocery items (plus a few extras), I noticed they now have square bagels in the refrigerated case. I fall for new stuff all the time, so naturally I picked up a package. I guess I just wonder what in the heck took someone so long…

Today I finally unloaded that Nordstrom gift card I received back on Christmas and boy, did it feel good! It was a nice enough treat just to get out and go to the mall alone, let alone actually buying something fantastic. David came home this afternoon and after he said he had no plans for…

I have quite a hefty gift card from one of my favorite stores just burning a hole in my pocket. So, tonight I was online and found a handful of goodies that I could pick and choose from to satisfy my shopping urge. How long after the holidays are you supposed to wait anyway, before…
