Seriously people – have you SEEN Lands’ End’s fall line?

If you haven’t, you should!! Last night I put the kids to bed and curled up with a glass of tea (ok actually a diet coke but that doesn’t sound classy) and the new Lands’ End catalog and picked out all the things on my “must-have” list. Unfortunately (for my wallet), everything was on that list.

I’m serious – I am in love.

Take a look at a few of my favorites…

Women’s Regular Luxe Wool Swing Car Coat
Women’s Regular Fit 1 Slim Ankle Corduroy Pants
Women’s Regular Sleeveless Silk Ruffle Front Blouse

I could go on and on (and I might) – but let me tell you the most important thing…
The Lands’ End Family + Friends sale starts tomorrow (Thursday, September 27) and runs through Tuesday, October 2 and offers 30% off site-wide plus free shipping with no minimum purchase. To get this deal use promo code FRIENDLY and PIN 2702.

Did you catch that? 30% off, free shipping, and no minimum purchase.

Lands’ End gave us a preview to this sale, and I purchased this dress and cardigan:

Women’s Regular Fine Gauge Supima Crew Cardigan

The dress looks just like that on me, in case you were wondering. *ahem* Anyway, I love Lands’ End dresses (as you might have noticed) and this is no exception. It’s soft and comfortable and I love the detailed shirring on the bodice. The dress was originally $74 but is now on sale for $52.99. I also love the boots. I definitely need those to make the outfit complete. Good thing it’s time for the Friends and Family sale! Of course, the cardigan is a Lands’ End classic made with supima, America’s finest cotton. This year’s version even has real shell buttons, a lovely touch.

Of course, you could buy stuff for your family as well. Jenny is taking advantage of the sale by buying her kids some additional school uniforms, and I just might have to get this sweater for Kate:

Girls’ Long Sleeve Fair Isle Button-front Long Cardigan Sweater

And maybe this for Sammy…

Boys' Full-zip Hoodie Vest

This could be trouble.

What’s your favorite thing?

Friends & Family Sale at Carter’s (and $50 giveaway!)

I recently rediscovered the Carter’s store – I randomly stopped in there a few weeks ago. I’m always on the lookout for 100% cotton pajamas (50% off the PJ shop at the moment, FYI), and I picked up a few pairs for Sam. Seriously, is there anything cuter than a kid in pajamas?

Actually, there might be – how about a little boy in a puffy vest?

Or perhaps a little girl in a tunic?

Ugh, seriously – so cute.

I don’t know why, but Carter’s had fallen off my radar – I shouldn’t have let that happen, though! They are so frickin’ cute – and of course made well and reasonably priced. Plus, the Carter’s store is always having good sales – much like the one they’ve asked me to help promote this week!

The Carter’s Friends and Family Event is going on now, and until September 30 you can get 25% off your entire purchase online (use code FFSAVE25) or in stores by printing the coupon below. Combined with the Great Big Sale that’s already going on, you can get things up to 70% off.

You can stock up on top, pants and microfleece vests, or tunics and leggings, or just about anything – Carter’s collections are perfect for mixing and matching. The fall weather calls for layering! And accessories, of course.

And to help you stock up, you can enter below to win a $50 Carter’s gift card! WOOHOO! All you have to do to enter is check out the little girls tunics on Carter’s website and leave a comment answering this question: What tunic would you choose for a Carter’s girl this fall?

Go forth and shop! And enter!

In case you were wondering…
Carter’s partnered with bloggers such as me to help promote Great Big Sale. As part of the program, I received product or gift cards. Carter’s believes that consumers and bloggers are free to form their own opinions and share them in their own words, and therefore did not tell me what to purchase or what to say about the products I used. Carter’s policies align with WOMMA Ethics Code, FTC guidelines and social media engagement recommendations.

Growing. Incessantly.

Every once in a while, I catch a glimpse of Sam and it’s almost like I don’t recognize him.

In my mind, he looks like this.

A little boy with a bowling ball for a head. There were times we’d worry that he would actually never develop a neck.

But I must have blinked or something, because now he looks like this.

His face thinned out and his features turning sharper. He looks so old. I’ve learned from his sister, though, that even though he looks to me like he is so grown up at four, he’ll keep growing and before long I’ll be looking back wistfully at the little four year old I once knew… who is now a teenage boy.

Um, now that I think about it, a teenage boy does not seem that appealing. I’d like to keep my sweet four year old, if that’s cool. Remind me again where the pause button is?
