The Children’s Place: Petite Stylist Edition

Disclaimer: I was given a gift card in return this experience. All thoughts and opinions are my own as always! On a recent trip to The Children’s Place, I couldn’t help but go absolutely crazy and pretty much buy half the store! The new holiday and winter styles for girls absolutely took me to an icy wonderland as I combed through the glitter, pastels and glamified racks. I couldn’t wait to get my finds back home to my little shopping buddy who sadly missed out on the shopping excursion because she was in school. To my surprise, when she looked…

Easy Thanksgiving Side Dishes

Posted by Amanda in November, Recipes

I can not believe Thanksgiving is in 2 days…TWO! It is one of my favorite holidays to spend with family and enjoy being gluttonous! My family typically makes a million side dishes, because lets face it, the sides make the meal! Everyone has their favorites and if we don’t make them, someone will be mad! A few years ago, my mom didn’t make one of my favorite side dishes: biscuits (Only the Pillsbury kind)! She subbed it for a different brand of biscuits and I almost threw a tantrum – the kind a three year old throws when you don’t let them have…

Thanksgiving Books for Kids

Since November came in without any warning, I wanted to get my kids out of the candy-craze that Halloween brought and into the glutenous delight of Turkey Day! Last month, I shared our favorite Halloween books with you and since I can’t get enough of my kids love for books. I had to get them excited for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday with some classically awesome Thanksgiving books! Our bedtime routine typically ends with cuddling together on the rocking chair reading Pete The Cat, The First Thanksgiving, Who Will Carve The Turkey This Thanksgiving, Turkey Trouble and Sofia the First. The girls get so…

Rent The Runway : My Favorite Plus One

Posted by Amanda in November, Shopping

I’m sure by now most of you have heard of Rent the Runway. It is a site dedicated to renting hot, high-end fashion dresses to the public. For someone who doesn’t typically have a gala or red carpet event to attend every month, I don’t see the point in buying a 200-400 dollar dress for one occasion every year or so. That is why I love Rent the Runway – I can get a dress that is in style, for fractions of the price. For the past couple of weddings we had to go to, I was bored of my go-to…

Fried Turkey Marinade

Posted by Amanda in November, Recipes

Fried Turkey > Roasted Turkey. Yes, you read that correctly. Fried turkey is abundantly superior to a boring old oven roasted turkey. For the past 2 years, we have been frying our turkeys. My husband ran out a week before Thanksgiving 2 years ago to buy a turkey fryer and I thought he was insane. All you hear about are the explosions, fires and horror stories associated with turkey fryers. I made it perfectly clear to him that I would not be going near that thing, nor will it be in any close proximity to our home. He yes’d me…
