Mommin’ Around Town Outfit And A Custom Bag

Now that my baby bump is getting bigger and bigger these days and the weather seems to be set on one temperature – HOT – I have found it easiest to wear cool and comfy dresses. Maternity and non-maternity dresses are wonderful. I’ve been trying to stick to non-maternity as much as possible so that I can wear it post-baby as well, but I found this adorable dress (similar) at Target in the maternity section, and who doesn’t love and need a good striped dress? I loved this one almost as much as I loved the price tag. Tar-jay for the win! You see what else I’ve been carrying around town? This custom bag by Rebekah Scott Designs was designed by yours truly and I love it so much!

Favorite Nordstrom Sale Buys and Picks

Last week, I shared my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale picks and while they are still very much the same, I wanted to share what I bought (and LOVE) and a few other picks for baby, your home and more! Tomorrow is the first day that the sale is open to the public and things are selling out FAST. After all, this is the most wonderful sale of the year. AmIright? After reading 1,000 other blog posts this past week on other women’s/blogger’s favorite picks and buys, I think it’s safe to say I’m not the only one giddy over this. So, here are my favorite purchases from the Nordstrom sale. And yes, there were way too many.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Access Picks #NSALE

It’s here! The most anticipated sale of the year – Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, that is. This is bigger than Christmas, folks! At least, it is for me! If you aren’t familiar with the sale, Nordstrom puts their brand new fall items on super-sale for two weeks (three if you are a cardholder). It is a great time to rack up on name brand items and fall staples! Ryan gave me my (early) birthday gift in the form of money for my birthday this year, just so I could spend a little extra at the sale. Did anyone else stay up way too late to shop? I had a little too much fun! So, without further ado, here are some of my absolute favorite sales. (Can I have one of each, please?)

While I’m going to wait and share my purchases once they come in, I will spoil one surprise and say that I FINALLY snagged these boots in oatmeal. This color was exclusive only at Nordstrom last year, and every time it came back in my size, they would sell out faster than I could buy them. It was depressing. When I saw them in the catalog, I knew that would be my priority purchase this year, and I got them!!

Today is the first day of the early access sale (for lucky cardholders) and the sale opens to the public on July 22nd! So, if you are not a cardholder, you can start making your lists to help you shop the best deals before they sell out.

Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale

It’s no secret that Nordstrom is my favorite place to shop online. They aren’t exactly affordable, but I love to shop their sales because you can find some great deals on name brand clothes and accessories you couldn’t normally buy. They are having their Half -Yearly sale right now through January 3rd! I got a couple of great deals and here are some of my favorites:

Nordstrom

necklace // tote // Hunter boots // Kate Spade backpack // lipstick // leggings (one of my favorites!) // sleep shorts // shift dress // beanie // knit sweater

How to Save Money This Holiday Season

Post contains affiliate links.


I can’t believe we are already talking about and preparing for the holidays! This year has really flown by for me. I am beyond excited to celebrate more of SR’s firsts through the season and even more excited to start my Christmas shopping! Because we are on a super tight budget right now, I compiled a list of ways to save money this Holiday Season and thought I’d share them with you!

How_To_Save_Money_During_the_Holiday_Season

Ebates is my number one when it comes to shopping online. I love shopping through Ebates because I can shop at my favorite stores and earn cash back with every purchase. Shopping online is so convenient, but I also saved around $100 on Christmas presents last year by using Ebates! I shop through them year round!

Zulily is a great discounted site for kids and women’s clothing and accessories. I have made so many purchases through them since having H! I like to loko at their women’s clothing from time to time, but I mostly shop here for the kids. They have huge name brands that they feature like TOMS and American Girl. I love getting their email alerts for when my favorite stores are on sale at Zulily!

Shop the Sales! During this time of year, it is fairly common to find great sales. In particular, on Black Friday and Cyber Monday which brings me to my next point…

Black Friday Deals! I scored some amazing deals last year on Ryan’s present and even for clothes for the kids! If you don’t want to fight the crowds, most stores now put their sales online, too. Be sure to check them out and shop through Ebates to double the savings!

Amazon is also a great place to save money – particularly on books and electronics. My husband and I are huge readers, so we are constantly on Amazon seeing what kind of deals we can find on the latest novels. Amazon has great sales on electronics this time of year as well, so if you’re in the market for a new camera or computer, be sure to check them out there first before going to Best Buy.

Put a price cap on your gifts. We do this every year and it helps us budget for Christmas. It helps us to know about how much money we are going to spend on everyone to keep things fair and also to keep us from spending a fortune or going Christmas crazy. Not that I’ve done that before.

We haven’t moved SR into her nursery yet because we need two things: a sound machine and a baby monitor! I was so excited to find these deals on two things we have been putting off buying. Now I know it’s because we were just waiting to save money! I’m also excited to find some Thomas the Train toys that are discounted! They are always so expensive and Hampton has been all Thomas everything for the last 6 months (at least). It will make a great stocking stuffer this Christmas! If you are about to have a baby, you definitely need to snag these Aden and Anias swaddles!

If I didn’t just buy a Cannon rebel T3i a few months ago, I’d be all over this deal! Umm, amazing! Also, every blogger needs a good pair of earbuds!

Zulily

It’s no secret I have been so excited to dress this baby girl! I have been to a few consignment sales and racked up on a few essentials, but thanks to a close friend of mine, I have rediscovered Zulily. I say rediscovered because I have looked on their site several times for Hampton, but it’s true that girls are way more fun to shop for than boys. Don’t get me wrong, I love shopping for Hamp, but there is just something abut a frilly little dress.

toms

I recently bought her a dress from Jelly the Pug and I bought myself, Ryan and Hampton some TOMs for a fraction of the price. I love this site because everything is so marked down. I even scored Hampton an adorable Easter outfit for $15. I mean, you just can’t beat that. I think it’s safe to say we will definitely be shopping on this site more often now that we are on a tighter budget.
