    This isn’t quite the right place for this comment, but I can’t find a better one. Anyway, I really love the idea of your “Edits” and have made many great purchases based on your suggestions, so I hope we get an October Edit soon! The weather’s too far gone to keep seeing the white dress 🙂

    I love the idea of not saying sorry so much.. I think especially with females!

    https://trendkeeper.me .. 40% OFF and a sweater dress!

  3. Can you double check the breast milk link. My friend is pregnant and I can actually have access to breast milk for free, so I want to know if it would work.

    If you ever think of hopping on a flight to Paris, I would love to see you put out a post like you did for London so that I can share tips. (I’ve been living in Paris for 3.5 years).

Saw It On Social: The Battle of the Spendy Swimsuits

Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Mondays: July 22, 2024

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours.
