LuxeYard | New Kid on the Block

2012-02-10T23:00:00.000-08:00

I know you folks love a good deal just as much as I do, so I figured you'd love hearing about LuxeYard, the newest home decor & furnishings deal site.

It works a bit differently than the others, which is very intriguing I must say...The two differences are:

1. Concierge Buying

Members can request any item to be sold and the item with the most vote wins. LuxeYard will sell the winning item for a fraction of the retail price.

2. Group Buying

Basically the more people that buy an item the cheaper it will be. At the end of the sale, everyone who bought it gets it for the cheapest price.

I'm loving some of the items they are currently offering:

What do you guys think? I'm excited to see how low we can drive the prices with the group option buy, aren't you?!

Arden | 46 Weeks

2012-01-20T16:57:00.000-08:00

Arden's doing a fancy dance move, she's talented like that ;) She's wearing an adorable top from Tea Collection. Pants from H&M and new little shoes from Pediped.

I'm such a huge fan of Pediped. I have a love affair with baby shoes going on. Seriously, it's a problem. Especially with Baby Blochs...le sigh. The problem? They never freakin' stay on! Either Arden knocks them off when she's crawling, rolling, scooting, cruising around. Or she physically pulls them off. I know you all are familiar with this! She used to wear her lil' Uggs all the time, because I could velcro them tight enough so she couldn't pull them off. Well one day they just stopped staying on. Toast.

Then Pedipeds came into my Arden's life. They're like a little ray of sunshine, I swear it! I'm not trying to be cheesy ;) And you know what? They actually stay on! So that's the #1 reason I love them.

And #2? They are awesome for pre-walkers and walkers alike. Why? Because of their soft yet supportive sole. It's beneficial to have your toddlers in soft soles so they can feel the floor with the soles of their feet and learn to balance correctly.

And last but not least, #3: They are super adorable! We already own a pair of the Henrietta boots, so perfect for keeping those lil' toes toasty. Then Pediped sent us a pair of Giselles with their brand new slip resistant soles to review. I couldn't believe it, but I love these even more now! The previous soles, a soft leather, were super comfy, but a little slippery when Arden would try to walk around. The new slip resistant soles are still soft pliable leather, but they figured out a way to make them less slip prone. There's a new texture to them, that gives them grip, but the leather seems almost like rubber. It's pretty cool. I took a close up shot to compare the two:

The original sole is on the left and the new "grippy" sole on the right. Cool huh? And here's an "official" shot of the new sole. Very dapper looking loafers, huh? See even the boy stuff is adorable!

I think I'm going to have to get a pair of black Naomis (totally remind me of Blochs) and red Isabellas next! SO cute.

Time for some organization and a Giveaway

2012-01-20T01:05:00.000-08:00

January - the beginning of a brand new year. And the best way to start the new year? Out with the old and in with the new...well, mostly out with the old ;) January is traditionally my clean out time, forget spring time, January is where it's at! So I decided that it was time to clear out the closets and drawers and get rid of old, worn out clothes or in Arden's case, *outgrown*.

Being a part of the Lowe's Creative Ideas network definitely helped.Their closet organization section in the store is pretty inspiring. So many tools to choose from. In the end though, I kept it pretty simple and flexible, so I could rearrange things a bit later on and I'd still be able to use everything.

As you can see my closet was in major need of an overhaul. My sweaters were piled up on the top shelf like there was no tomorrow. Let's not even talk about the ground floor: shoe & bag overload. With some handy organizational products from Lowe's things are looking a whole lot better.

I used a closet shelf turned on it's side to keep my sweaters in line on the top shelf. I also bought a double shoe hanger to store all of my smaller shoes, similar to this one, but mine has a double row of show compartments. The boots stayed on the floor. I used rolled up magazines to keep them standing at attention. I forget where I learned that tip from, but I love it. I also bought some handy fabric bins (like these) to store things like gloves, scarves, purses, etc when they're not in use. Oh and I'm almost forgot, I bought some wooden hangers to replace most of my plastic ones. I just need a few wooden pant/skirt hangers and then I'll be all set! And maybe another closet shelf to add to the other one and that way they can run the entire length of the top shelf. Doesn't it look sooo much better? It definitely helped when I got rid of all of the shoes I haven't worn in over a year and the bags that have been sitting on the floor collecting dust. Now the only things in my closet are things I actually use. Great concept, huh? ;)

Now moving onto Arden's closet.

Can you see the HUGE pile of outgrown clothing on the left side of that top shelf? Scary I know, extreme earthquake hazard ;) Not to mention the wine racks...somehow those don't strike me as being "child-friendly". So it was finally time to clear out Arden's closet so she could use it for all of her new things. I have another one of those shoe racks handy for all of the cute shoes she'll be getting, once she's a little older. I'm thinking she also needs closet shelves running the length on the top. I can then slip those bins into the "cubbies" for a even better, streamlined look.

Now it's time to tackle Arden's dresser...eep! Her clothing drawer was a complete mess. I had a system down when she was born: I used these compartment trays to organize her folded clothes. But now that she's bigger, so is her clothing. And they no longer fit into those compartments. I decided to take the trays out and there was much more space to fold and stack. I also moved a compartment tray over to the diaper drawer. Just look at how organized it is. Love it!

Now it's your turn! Lowe's has offered to gift one lucky reader with a $100 gift card. What's your most useful organizational trick? Just leave me a comment about it and you can enter for a chance to win $100 to Lowe's!
