Win a $100 Lands End Gift Card!

Lands End Winner

This giveaway is closed. I used random.org to choose the winner: Congratulations to commenter #49, Carol Dziuba! Carol, check your email for a message from me! And thank you so much everyone who entered. I’ve been lucky to be able to try out several of Lands End products, and I love each and every one of them. Lands Ends is brand that really understands us women, and they truly try and figure out what actually looks good on us. You have to love a company like that! They recently sent a swimsuit for me to try out, and I have to admit that I am amazed. I have been buying swimsuits for years (we won’t say how many). It is a hard to find a swimsuit that actually fits. If you are a size two, you have no problems. If you are a woman with an actual figure, well, it tends to be much harder. However, this isn’t so with the Lands End swimsuits. All I had to do was go to their site, find a swimsuit I liked (which is actually hard since there are so many great ones to … [Read more...]

Where they will LIVE. Without ME. Waahhh! My parents packed me up for my first year of college with an electric typewriter that we honestly bought AT SEARS, I remember being so excited because it had a BACKSPACE/DELETE key. No more dabbing wite-out on my typos! If you are getting ready to deliver your precious baby to college, this post is for you. Sears has a whole … [Read more...]

Just Say No to the Romper-Cute Maternity Clothes

August 18, 2008 By

I'm glad there are so few photos of me from when I was pregnant with Ryan, because they would have revealed just how hideous Maternity Clothes were in 1996. I was working at the Credit Union then and we had a pretty formal dress code, so off I went to the chain maternity clothing store at the mall, and do you know what they had for "dressy" outfits? ROMPERS. If you aren't familiar with it, a romper is a one-piece outfit sort of like a dress but that ends in shorts, and it buttons down the front. Which means every time I had to pee, I had to unbutton it and slide the whole thing down around my ankles. It was NOT pretty, let me tell you. Now, we are done having kids for sure, so I'm not looking at this for myself, but for those of you readers who are or will be pregnant, and you're wondering what clothing there is out there that you can wear to work or other dressy occasions, check out the Maternity Dresses sold at Belly Dance Maternity. They carry wrap dresses that can be worn … [Read more...]
