theSkimm

So I found out about this little gem a couple of years ago...and I'm ashamed it has taken me so long to pass this info along!

I started subscribing to theSkimm about two years ago and I seriously look forward to reading it every week day morning. 

It's a newsletter, delivered to your e-mail inbox each weekday, that summarizes the big things happening in the news. The authors are witty, sarcastic, and most importantly, they get to the point. I feel like I know what's going on in the world without having to spend 30 minutes watching TV or reading on the internet. 

If you're looking for a great way to stay up to date on current events, without a whole lot of effort...this is for you!

I'm hoping to become a "Skimm-bassador" so if you want to get the news, sign up here using my link!

Where has the summer gone! I owe you a six month post on our sweet Chandler and so many other updates! In the meantime, here are a few snaps from our summer...starting solids, swimming lessons, riding in the grocery cart, and more...

Our little one has quite the silly personality and Adam and I say every day that this 

has been the best yet!

Recent Scores from the Loft

I've been trying to hold back on shopping, but lately these end of summer sales have been killing me! So, I finally caved. I picked up some really cute tops at the Loft. They are perfect to dress up my mom uniform of denim shorts...or on an extra special day, white denim shorts! I've been wearing the heck out of these three tops. The prices are GREAT, and you know the Loft, if it's not on sale now, just wait a few days and it will be!

I'm also really getting excited about fall clothes and once again, the Loft does not disappoint. Here are a few of my fall favorites:

Happy Shopping!

Lust List: Beige and Rose Bags

So I'm starting a new weekly post...those of you who know me know that I love to shop...

Whenever we'd receive a new catalogue at home I would sit down, with a sharpie, and circle everything that I liked...you know just in case anyone wanted to buy me a treat! (Confession...I actually still do this now and it drives Adam a teeny bit crazy...)

Because I can't really circle things on the internet...I've decided to collect everything I'm lusting after at the moment in my weekly Lust List.

This week, it's rose and beige bags...I am OBSESSED...

Admittedly, I actually own a rose colored bag...buuuuuut, that doesn't mean I don't want more! Here are a few of my top faves!

And let's be clear here...I don't discriminate when I shop...I love a good steal and some of these are just that! 

Do you have any beige or rose colored bags? Do you have any on your lust list? What's your favorite?
