This makes blog number 3 for me and I've had some interesting reactions to my decision to start a blog! My 14 year old son simply said "WHY?" but he said it with that tone in his voice that you use when you're a little shocked and a lot confused. I think astonished is the right word for how he was feeling about it 😲. Hold on, googling definition of astonished to be sure...Nope, not astonished. Wrong word. Astonished definition has the word impressed in it. He did not appear impressed. Nope. His face contained more confusion. We'll go with confused. 😳So I explained it's just a hobby and it might be something fun for me to do and this seemed to satisfy him for the time being. I mean what did he think? That I was going to record every move he makes into a blog for all to see? Probably. He's 14 and he reminds me of this fact regularly. Mostly when I'm reminding him about anything. "MOM I'm 14 years old now, ok?" (Did you know that 14 year olds know EVERYTHING? Well, they do. Until he forgets his backpack, or his homework, or his chores, or puts the milk in the cabinet instead of the fridge. Wait. Maybe that last one was me.)
My favorite reaction was from my ever supportive husband. First he said "YOU"RE blogging!?!" (also with some shock and some confusion), then silence for a minute, and then he asked "Am I going to be in your blog?". Of course you are! Then he said "Alright, tell them my khaki pants are made from I don't know because they're so old that I can't read the label anymore, my shirt is from the clearance rack, and my socks are from I don't give a." I left the last word from his quote out on purpose. You can probably use your imagination. Oh husbands! 😊
Look, maybe I just needed a new hobby during this draggy part of the year where we're between holidays I can decorate for, can't really start flower gardening outside yet, and have at this point cooked and tried every recipe I've ever wanted to (some good, some my dog wouldn't even eat). This time of year when football season is over and baseball hasn't started yet. The weather is all over the place and it makes it hard to figure out what to wear (my only answer is layers). Or maybe I am just sorely missing some girl time! I love and adore these guys I live with, but somehow I stay busy enough with work and spending time with them that I hardly EVER get any girl time. Also, I had a hard time finding outfit ideas from blogs that weren't done by tiny ladies. Tiny ladies, you are awesome and almost everything looks good on you. But I am not a size two and I really struggle to find clothes that I feel look good. Mix all that with my questionably unhealthy addiction to shopping for a good deal and this blog was born!
So here I sit on this beautiful early Saturday morning with my coffee and all these websites at my fingertips. I'll start with my outfit for the day and then, check out the additional finds below! Spring, please hurry!!!

My plan is to post on this blog every Saturday morning. Weekday mornings are just too hustly bustly for a good blog post. I've heard that Nordstrom will be having an end of season clearance starting on the 17th so next weekend's blog might be out of control! I will also try to post my outfit for the day on my new Facebook page each day during the week along with any good sales finds that I come across at https://www.facebook.com/notatwo/.
Until next time!
XOXO,
