Get the look for less...

I saw a dress last spring that I fell in love with. It was Gucci, the price and size were way out of my league so I forgot about it and moved on. Well, after browsing the web I stumbled onto a website called http://www.onestopplus.com/ . This is where the dress featured above came from. It is almost identical to the Gucci dress I seen in Vogue last year! This website has sizes from 12W to 44W!!! WOW! They have everything from shoes to purses and clothes to fit the curvy girls. The prices aren't "thrifty" but everyone deserves a semi-splurge every once and a while, right?!!

A few faves from the library.....

In our home we love reading. My husband and I are both educators so books are all over the place. The girls have their own collection as do we. One of our favorite things to do with our children is to take a trip to the public library. Its free and fun!! In these economic times I am always down for free!! These are a few books I read to my students. I usually read them to my daughters first before taking them to work. Based on their interest and excitement in the books it prepares me for the reaction my students may have. These titles are awesome, bright colors and great subject matter. Visit your local library for great books and exciting programs and activities for the whole family!
