Shortly before Thanksgiving I was invited to shop at The Children’s PLACE for their #PLACEHoliday event. In my previous posts I have always ranted and raved about how much I adore shopping here for my daughter. If you have a child then I am sure you have experienced the struggle of having to constantly replace clothes and update wardrobes due to their ability to grow like a weed! This is why I stick to affordable clothing that can grown into and not just worn for a month or two. At The Children’s PLACE I am always able to find stylish clothing for my four year old. She may be little but she loves to look good! A little fashionista at heart, she gets excited when she sees the big blue bag sitting in her room just waiting to be rummaged through. As a mom I don’t mind because I am always getting the most for my money here. It doesn’t hurt that they frequently have amazing sales and coupons that can be stacked right on top for extra savings. I could keep on going but I am sure by now you all know how much I enjoy shopping here!

It’s that time of year again. Black Friday shopping has begun, already. This year many retailers have opened their doors early and given shoppers a head start. At this time last year I would typically be struggling to stay awake, still shuffling through my lists, and hitting people’s ankles repetitively with my cart as I browsed each aisle like a walking zombie. Not this year. For the first time I headed straight to Target to begin my shopping and made it out in under the normal 5-7 hours. Yes I calculated this given my experience two years ago! It was a breeze this time around and much less stressful. Target had their ad out ahead of time which made it easy for early birds like myself to get organized.

This week Toodie’s teacher sent home an assignment for each child to bring in their very own Thanksgiving turkey. It couldn’t have came at a better time because I have been doing a lot of pinning lately & discovered many holiday related Pint-er-esting finds. You wouldn’t believe how many turkey arts & crafts projects are floating around the internet! Thanksgiving will be here before we know it and I found an adorable paper plate turkey craft that can be used to decorate the home and classroom. It has a few different components to it but overall it is a very easy craft to do with your child. Toodie & I both enjoyed working on this together as a team.

This week I took the time to browse the newest and existing gift sets Sephora has to offer during the holidays online and in store. I’ve been gravitating towards lip products lately and noticed that they have so many gift sets from brands that I love. Each year I pick up a few of their Sephora Favorite’s Fragrance Samplers because they make great gifts for any age or gender. Last Christmas I purchased one for my mom and my boyfriend because I always spend hours deciding what scent they would like best. With this gift set they were able to smell several samples and redeem for a full sized fragrance of their choice. Such an awesome concept when people are difficult to shop for!

I know it’s only mid-September and Fall has just begun but I can’t help but be excited for Halloween next month. It’s one of my favorite holidays and since having Toodie I have enjoyed it even more than before. The creative costumes, festive candy, pumpkin carving, spooky decorations, and trick or treating make this ghoulish day fun for all ages. Even as an adult I love all of the excitement. After all, I don’t think I stopped trick or treating until I was about 15 years old! I always loved dressing up and going door to door with friends. I even did my fair share of “knock and runs” in addition to stealthy snatching of filled candy bowls left behind by those who weren’t home. I think we all did that at least once time as a kid. After a long night the best part was coming home, dumping our bags out, and trading our pieces of candy with one another!
