But I have a few that I really love. One of my favorite magazines has been Mary Engelbreit's Home Companion. My mom got me a subscription when it first came out and I've been taking it ever since.

What did you do over the weekend? Jeff and I went on a date night.... to DSW. (disclaimer: we did go to a very delicious dinner first). If you've ever been in a DSW you know how the store works.

Red = 30%, etc. So once in the store, you took the percentage off, based on the sticker, THEN, … [Read more...]

Do you need some cute things for a good price? Check out the 15-dollar store. Everything in it is 15 bucks. Of course, it's no Anthropologie, but is anything in Anthropologie ever 15 dollars? This looks like a good place to get a few, trendy pieces. Plus, they have men's, children's and puls-size clothes. Here are my favorites: Oh, if you missed out on my Pay It Forward Giveaway, my … [Read more...]
