Walk a mile in my @KalsoEarthShoes

31, October 2011 by · 180 Comments

My Hubs gets a little irritated with the amount of shoes that I have.

What can I say? I love me some shoes. The kicker though is the majority of my shoes aren’t cute strappy heels or heels with a peek-a-boo toe. My shoes are mainly casual. Tennis shoes, slip ons, etc. For me it’s all about comfort and although I admit, there are some comfortable heels out there, they just don’t fit in to my lifestyle.

Let’s face it, I’m a mom and I work from home. Not a whole lot of need to don my heels and business suit. Then again, maybe I should try that sometime. :)

But seriously, most days you will find me wearing jeans, a t-shirt, and some comfy shoes.

kalso earth shoesWhen I was given the opportunity to try out some shoes from Kalso Earth Shoes I was ecstatic. All of their shoes fit completely into my lifestyle. And not only do they fit in my lifestyle, they are aesthetically pleasing to me which is just as important as comfort.

I chose the Glide 2 in Red to wear around.

Let your hair down – Chasing Fireflies #WishCraft

19, September 2011 by · 3 Comments

I’m a bit of a nut for Halloween.

No, seriously. Before the kids were big enough to take trick or treating I used to completely turn our front porch into a haunted house of sorts. Fog machine, spooky sounds, and black lights. One year I even had my mom dress up in a freaky costume and sit on my porch next to a life sized scarecrow I made. The kids thought she was fake and didn’t pay her any attention, until she snuck up behind them while they were getting candy. :)

Needless to say, now that my kids partake in the dressing up I’m always looking for the coolest costumes. Several years I made their costumes but I’m getting lazy and there are such cool costumes out there that you can buy. When purchasing costumes for the kids I really look for ones that will last longer than Halloween itself.

chasing firefliesI have been receiving the Chasing Fireflies catalog since my daughter was a year old. I love looking at all their fabulous items and yes, their costumes are seriously to. die. for.

When I got the email that I was lucky enough to get to review Chasing Fireflies Wishcraft collection, thanks to Mom Spark Media, I was super giddy. I couldn’t wait to see the quality of their products first hand.

Do you have a Trendy kid?

24, June 2011 by · 3 Comments

My girl is a girly girl.

She loves all things frilly and pretty. Her big brown eyes look up at me and I just can’t help but want to put in clothing that falls along those lines.

So when it was mentioned that I check out a site that offers kids boutique clothing I was all too happy. I have to say that TreZ’Unique offers some really cute items for baby’s, toddlers, and girls.

TreZ’Unique was founded by Valérie Susskind, a mom who wanted to combine her passion for fashion and her Marketing MBA.

“TreZ’Unique carries a stylish line of children’s clothing that is fashionable and trendy yet traditional and classy, shoes that are fun and comfortable yet whimsical and full of personality. It ranges from girly pettiskirts to personalized baby shoes to fun T-shirts with a touch of bling. We offer eye-catching, quality, comfortable clothing and an enjoyable shopping experience. That is why you can buy confidently from TreZ’Unique today and again in the future. Our promise of satisfaction is what makes us so popular with those seeking unique infant and toddler clothes, crib shoes, baby gifts, unique girl clothes and personalized items.”

trezunique pettiskirtAfter browsing through the designer kids clothing I absolutely fell in love with the pettiskirts. We’ve all seen the tu-tu’s made out of tulle that other sites sale. The pettiskirts are close to them but so much better quality!

I think I secretly want one too!

I can just see taking the girl to have her photo’s taken in the Baby Pink Rainbow pettiskirt in the photo.

Where you might normally tend to spend more on boutique clothing, this site does a great job in keeping the prices very reasonable for such high quality clothing that will outlast the cheap stuff and can be handed down for generations.

I just can’t help but smile when I look at that pettiskirt!

Jockey’ing Around #Giveaway #JockeySport

21, January 2011 by ·

I am super excited to once again be a sponsored blogger for Jockey.
This time around I had the opportunity to check out their newly released Sport Collection which really couldn’t have come at a better time, since I’m exercising more now than I ever have before. Well, at least in my adulthood.

jockey sport

Check out what I have to say about it:

Jockey Sport Collection

Be nice. I had just finished a workout. :)


There are a couple things that I didn’t mention in the video, mainly because I thought you had heard me say “Let me tell you why” enough times for 5 minutes. :)

So first off, the Perfomance Workout Crop has a built in panty so there is no need to worry about panty lines when you wear them. And there would definitely be some because they fit so snuggly.

Also, the first time I wore this collection to the gym I went with the Modern Active full length pant and my Active Tee w/pockets. I probably won’t pair the pants and the shirt together again, or at least not until I lose, what I lovingly refer to as, my pooch. Because they are both made out of similar material the shirt tends to start riding up as you move. Even though my shirt came down over my stomach, as I walked or ran it crept up with each step and I found that I was spending a lot of time tugging it back down. It did help keep my mind off the pain of running, but it also slowed me down because I was using my arms for something other than pumping.

Really though, that’s a very small criticism, it’s totally going to depend on your body type and it doesn’t deter me from wearing the pieces separately. But fair warning, if you are my doppelgänger you’re gonna have this problem too.

So are you all ready for the really cool part?

I get to giveaway a pant from the Sport Collection to 3 readers! That’s right. Three names will be chosen, each winner will receive a code to be used on the Jockey website that will include free shipping and they can pick the style/length of pant they would like. Did I mention that the pants retail for $55-$60??!? It’s like Christmas in January. :D

Visit the Jockey site and tell me which style and length you would choose.
