Women’s Summer Dresses on Sale for Canadian Shoppers

Shirtdress

I'm going to three blog conferences this summer, which means I'm going to need to buy at least one nice dress. Before heading out to retail stores, I like checking the store websites to see what's in stock and what I should expect to pay.  I'm sure my fellow Canadian bloggers do the same, and they can find really great deals on womens dresses, shoes, handbags, sleepwear, maternity clothes, and more on Wishabi. I like dresses to be casual, like this super cute L.L. Bean Chambray Camp Shirt Dress.  Doesn't it look comfy? You can't tell from this photo but the model is wearing heeled booties. I would choose little white sneakers or sandals. It just looks so easy to wear. Besides blue, it also comes in white: I also like this wrap dress from The North Face - I didn't even know they made dresses! There's a review under the picture from a lady who packed it for a backpacking trip and said it was super easy to wash, hang up to dry, and wear again the next day. Sounds perfect! … [Read more...]

FriendlyFriday2

Wow, this week flew by so fast! It seems like I JUST did my Friendly Friday post from last week! And, to make my Friday even better, Table for Five is one of the three FEATURED BLOGS on Friendly Friday this week! Woo hoo!! Thanks so much to Christi, Charla and Xenia for picking me! These are the very kind words they used to describe me and my blog: Elizabeth at Table for Five is the writer behind the original “Table for Five” which she started in September 2005 while on bed rest during her pregnancy. She shares stories and cute pictures of their three kids as well as many reviews and giveaways. She states on her sidebar that if you have a question then email her. Nearly four years ago, Elizabeth answered several emails to help Charla (who she didn’t know) get started with blogging. She’s good about helping fellow bloggers! Well, thank you very much, ladies! I'm so glad that I was able to help Charla all those years ago, I love helping people start blogs! SO, welcome to … [Read more...]

Table for Five Readers, Tell Me What To Do

Table4Five_New_Header2

I'm starting to think that there's something else going on with me that is making me constantly change the theme on this blog. Almost every day I come across a Mom blog with a great design and think oh, I could change my theme to look like that one. In the last three months I've gone through three - or is it four? - theme changes.  I've tried Thesis, Genesis plus Lifestyle, Genesis plus Pixel Happy, and then for some reason, last night while watching TV and goofing around, it suddenly occurred to me to see if I could get my old IZEA custom design running. It's got to be Blogging 101 that when readers go to a blog, they want to see a consistent design. You don't see Huffington Post or CNN.com changing their themes every month. They picked one, they stick with it. The truth is, I don't really know why I keep changing the themes. What I do know is that I want to STOP changing the themes.  I want Table for Five to have a recognizable design that I'm happy with. I realize that … [Read more...]
