If you would have asked me a few years ago if I would have been getting my house ready for spring and summer by using my cell phone, I would have probably laughed.  I’ve always been pretty attached to my phone, but back when they first became common, I never considered that at some point they’d basically be mini computers with lots of fun extras.  Fun extras like apps!

I participated in a campaign for Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Kohl’s. I received a gift card as a thank you for participating.

Spring is officially in the air, and I’m getting very excited.  It’s time to start thinking about wearing dresses, skirts, flip-flops, and short-sleeved shirts, to name a few.  All in some of the shades that make spring so light and airy – like pink, which is definitely in this year.

Bubbles and I were in Kohl’s today checking out some of the new looks for the season.  I had watched the Kohl’s Spring Fashion Hangout and I absolutely fell in love with some of the pieces they showcased.  One of the things I love about Kohl’s is how they transition runway looks into something wearable, and at prices that are significantly more affordable.

One of my favorite is the fun and flirty pink dress with white flowers above.  I can see wearing it so many places!  Especially since we have Ashley’s graduation, then Austin’s graduation, and parties for both.  I think I’m going to need to pick up a few different ones! Continue reading »

You know that there has been some serious basketball-watching going on here over the past few days.  We’ve been chewing our nails (well, at least I have) as we’ve watched our team progress through the last two rounds and are on pins and needles for their game tomorrow night.  Staying glued to the TV anytime the ball is bouncing is pretty much the preferred route to go.

Of course, before the whole thing started, we filled out our brackets online.  And, much like everyone else, promptly watched them fall to pieces in the first round thanks to a number of upsets.  It’s actually one of my favorite things about the tournament – at this point in the season, and with so much on the line, anything can happen.

While I generally cheer for the good guy, I have to say I love a good villain (which may explain why I consider myself one of Loki’s Ladies).  And now Maleficent, Princess Aurora’s nemesis in Disney’s Sleeping Beauty, is getting her own movie, and I’m thoroughly intrigued.

Angelina Jolie as Iconic Disney Villain Maleficent #Maleficent

Updates for Maleficent have come slowly, but each time one is shared, it’s absolutely amazing.  Like the recent release of the new movie poster which shows off the classic Disney villain Maleficent (played by Angelina Jolie) and her awe-inspiring wings. There are also two new trailers available; you can check both of them out below. Continue reading »

This Macy’s flower show event post is sponsored by Everywhere.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Last weekend Bubbles and I had the opportunity to spend some time at our local Macy’s at the Oxmoor Center Mall.  We often visit the mall on the weekends, but this Saturday we were there for something special.  Macy’s was celebrating the arrival of spring and spring fashion with their Flower Show Event with a Secret Garden theme.

Bubbles loves pretty clothes as much, if not more, than any girl, so I knew she’d love seeing the fancy hats and beautiful looks for spring.  But aside from that, I also had heard that Macy’s was planning lots of fun little events for kiddos and adults alike. Continue reading »
