Not My Baby Anymore #WordlessWednesday
I've joined a great group of bloggers who are embracing Wordless Wednesday in a new way. How's that you ask? We'll post pictures and link directly to each other's current Wordless Wednesday post. Nothing fancy, no linky, but a fun way to get to know some women I think are pretty fantastic. My intent is to keep with my Fashionably Organized aesthetic in that I'll post pictures of fashion, beauty, … [Read more...]

My Week With The Acura ILX
You may recall that I posted about getting to test out an Acura ILX for a week. I had such a blast with the car, and I have to tell you that I didn't even go through a whole tank of gas in that week. Yes, you read correctly less than 1 tank of gas, and I even took a little road trip with my husband. That's the great part about having the Acura ILX Hybrid. In Los Angeles NOTHING is 5 … [Read more...]
Excited About My Week With The ILX
I grew up in a house of car lovers. That's an understatement to be honest. My older brother always had car posters on his walls, and we had every car magazine show up at our house regularly, so it rubbed off on me, and I love cars too. I love sitting in a new car. I love test driving new cars. I really find myself to be a little bit of a new car snob. So, imagine when I was asked to spend a week … [Read more...]
Wedges With Angel Wings: #FashionFriday
Have you ever been so struck by a shoe it becomes the muse of a collection? Well that happened to me. I dedicate this post to my amazing sister-in-law Ellie who sat with me looking at clothes and shoes for TWO hours. She gets me!Recently Ellie & I were squished next to each other for 2 hours -- it's a long story, so no need to get into details that are boring at best. We sat on my iPad, at … [Read more...]

Bertolli Meal Soups Saves Our Dinner Blues
My husband and I often wait until after the kids are in bed to have our dinner. We tried 1 of the Bertolli Meal Soups, and now have a new favorite addition to our very limited choices in our meals for two category. I cannot tell you how many times R and I have gone in circles with the question "what do you want for dinner?" It's awful to say, but in the last 6 months I've had more bowls of cereal … [Read more...]
Tulip Flower Fairy From Chasing Fireflies
When I was little picking my costume for Halloween was the great decision of every September/October. Who knew that it would be just as difficult to choose your child's costume too. I decided this year that "A" at 2.5 didn't really need a costume, then I saw the website Chasing Fireflies. Chasing Fireflies (@chasenfireflies) has costumes that are absolutely gorgeous, but better yet transcend to … [Read more...]
Macy’s Classroom Makeover
I'm lucky enough to have my children go to a Charter school, however, the way it works is that most of the budget comes from generous donations that have to be stretched pretty far. With today's financial situation hitting our school systems, every parent like myself wonders every day how the school systems will be able to stretch their budgets anymore than they already do. Macy's is giving away … [Read more...]
