Hubby Cleans Up Real Nice!

Even though Hubby is a “Blue collar worker” and his wardrobe consists mainly of tee shirts and jeans with a few Khakis and sweatshirts thrown in, he does have a few nice clothes but I have decided that it is now time for it to have an much needed upgrade, cause Hubby does clean up real nice!

I want to purchase by going online from a website – upscalemenswear.com that has gotten my attention, it’s by a company by the name of Upscale Menswear that is located in  Atlanta, Georgia, but thankfully they have made it possible to buy from them the most unique, colors and styles from brand names like Steve Harvey, Romano Fiesso and Robert Wayne, some wonderful hi-fashion suits and designer shoes  like the ones that are always seen and worn in Hollywood and New york, but are offered at realistic prices, without having to take the long drive by use of the good old Internet! I think that I will enjoy this.

Thrift Stores Are The Way To Go For Winter Clothes

Each winter, no matter how hard I try and get the whole family prepared and outfitted for the nasty cold weather that we have to deal with, some one needs something. So tomorrow I’m heading out the door to the new A.S.P.C.A. Thrift Store that recently opened up here in town to pick up a few things. Going to look for some nice warm water proof boots for myself, my old ones just don’t cut it anymore and I don’t want to spend a lot of $$$.

I got a coupon in the mail for this new second hand store that benefits all the local animal population in so many ways, as you may know by now that coupons and I like each other.

Look of The Year, Interesting Online Beauty Contest!

My oldest daughter has always been interested in modeling, she is a looker, all blond hair, green eyed, large busted and all. When she was real young, three and four years of age, I had her in several beauty pageants and she always either placed or would win 1st prize, that all seems so long ago now.

Through out the years she has been told numerous times by people that she should check into modeling and it always makes her feel good, but she just never has proceeded with it. But last night she found a website of a company called Look of The Year, which advertises a unique online beauty for anybody, not just a chosen few! Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and anyone who surfs their site, world wide, has the opportunity to be a judge, and cast a vote for the one that they believe is the most beautiful.

Sounds interesting and I can see where she would get a charge out of participating in something like this, she is going to register and search for the perfect picture to submit. I’ll keep you posted in what takes place.

Summer Shopping With My Daughter

Today I went to try to find some new clothes for this upcoming summer for not only me, but for the entire family. My daughter is a fashion fanatic so I had her come with me to help pick out some nice things for everyone. She went crazy around every store in the mall and had a blast picking out outfits. She very much so surprised me with how she shopped and how much she is like me in many ways I never noticed before. She not only has great taste in clothes, but she shops with her head to where she keeps track of how much money there is to spend and how much she tries to save as much as possible in the process.

Pretty much to sum it all up she is a bargain shopper with a great attitude about it. Many people dread going shopping and spending money on a bunch of clothes that will probably be thrown out by the following year, but we had a great time together as mother and daughter just shopping, talking and laughing about every little thing. Well we had gotten home after hours of shopping, and everyone tried on their new outfits and loved every piece we had picked out. I am so happy that I got to spend time with my daughter and also learned about her personality along the way, I’m hoping to do this more often with her in the future, I enjoy every moment with my family. We are now ready for the summer and ready to look great during the season and cant wait to show off our new clothes to our friends and family.

From Flip Flogs to Hiking Boots

Summer means camping and fishing to me, so my wardrobe is going to need just a little boost from some more rugged outdoor wear. I need things with pockets and ventilated shirts so I don’t get too hot while I stay covered up against mosquitoes and biting flies. My usual flip flops and sandals are certainly not going to get me very far on the trail, so I’m looking for a new pair of hiking boots. I want good construction so they are not only comfortable but they should last for several years. Not something that I want to just pick up cheaply at our local Walmart.

Also, I want waterproof boots this time. There’s not much that can ruin a hiking trip like wet feet. When I think about work boots or hiking boots, the brand that first comes to mind is always going to be Wolverine. This is a brand that I have known and trusted for over 20 years. My very first pair of work boots for an outside and very intense summer job while in high school were Wolverine Boots and I’ve been a diehard fan ever since.

I really like the tread design so that these boots will grab the rocks and gravel on a hiking trail to prevent slipping and the high tops will protect my ankles from twisting or turning on the rocks. When I’m ready to order them, I plan on using the web site, metboots.com. They have my size in stock and a reasonable price, with a reputation for great customer service. That’s all I need to get my new boots shipped right to my house.

One day I’ll be a Grandma

I’m in no hurry, but it would be nice to be able to spend time with a newborn again.  Once in a while, like at the mall, I’ll see a really cute baby and I get that feeling of wanting to have another baby, I’ll see the little tiny shoes or a delightfully cute stuffed animal and the motherly instinct comes pouring out.  But the feeling usually doesn’t last long and I get over it, hearing the kids screaming in the stores makes me snap out of it real quick.

I must say that every year the products that flood the newborn baby/toddler market are getting really cool, most of which I would have loved to been able to use during those precious years.  We had the standards of course like the basic baby swing, walker, bassinet, back then was when the computerized toys were just starting come out.

I’ve been invited to a baby shower next week and I have ordered a nice baby sling from Slinglings.com they have a great variety of colors and fabrics to select from with their different styles of their baby sling.  You can use them up until the baby is 35 lbs and it really helps reduce the need of a big bulky stroller.  No ties, no buckles, or Velcro,  just slip it on and place your baby in it and you are ready to roll…Wish I had a baby sling back in the day!
