A Boyfriend Blazer for the Girls

I just saw Bridesmaids, dear readers, and while I’m no movie critic, let me just say that it was laugh-out-loud hilarious.  I el-oh-el’d on numerous occasions.  Oh yes I did. One thing that stood out on screen to me was Kristen Wiig’s super stylish pairings of shrunken blazers and simple floral dresses.  Granted, she has [...]

So I moseyed over to my local Goodwill in [...]

Excited to have her own money to spend, my daughter found nothing that interested her in the five-dollar range. Three-year-olds don’t jump for joy over breath mints [...]
