I have a fashion obsession. I can’t help it, I do.
Polyvore.
You create – by mixing and matching clothing and accessories – different outfits. I’m telling you, it’s a lot of fun. Experiment with styles. Create fun looks. Be a little daring with colors and designs that you normally wouldn’t wear. [...]

My bloggy friend and fellow Rhode Islander – Heather from The Mogul Mom – sent me some socks from Little Miss Matched awhile ago. They made my life easier. I loved them SO MUCH, I got myself more pairs.
The beauty of not having to match socks (the part I dread about every laundry single [...]

My grandmother called the other night around 6PM. She could hear a little bit of chaos in the back, so she asked if she called “during dinner.”
I explained it was just the boys racing back and forth in the kitchen and that I was the only one eating dinner.
She honestly sounded surprised when she [...]

Last Thursday – May 20th – thanks to IZEA, I got the chance to head to SeaWorld in Orlando, FL to try out their new roller coaster – Manta!
Let me preface this post with this statement – I’m TERRIFIED of roller coasters. TERRIFIED.
The question can (and should) be posed, “Well… why go?”
Truth be told… [...]

I have to admit, I’m usually pretty basic and plain when it comes to nail polish. I always gravitate towards the sheer pinks… always.
Well, not today!
I went to get my nails done with my sister and good friend, Alli. As we were looking through the different colors, I kept looking at O.P.I.’s Lincoln [...]

My Henry doesn’t usually mind being in his pack and play or in his exersaucer. As a matter of fact, he sometimes prefers it.
But not today…
Today he wanted to be in my arms. And as every mom knows, some day this too shall pass… so I’m soaking up all the holding time I [...]

My favorite red sundress has been leaving some people wondering, “Is she, or isn’t she?”
It’s the design of the dress; it’s very, very forgiving — and very, very comfortable.
But one way I like to wear this particular sundress is with a belt (it helps with the “pregnancy rumors”). There’s nothing like adding a belt to [...]

January 1, 2009 I made a promise to myself that I would run a half marathon this year. I wanted to commit to keeping myself healthy this year by being active. I felt if I chose to do a certain “road-race” it would keep me motivated.
I went out and bought new workout clothes.
I went [...]

Floral prints are making a huge “splash” this summer. A floral print gives you the look of elegance and fun, all wrapped into one clothing item. I have to be honest with you, I don’t have any dresses/tops/skirts with a floral print. When I saw how beautiful the options were out there [...]

My average day goes something like this –
6AM – Benjamin (my 2 year old) yelling to me (sometimes calling me “Audrey” and not “Mom”) from his crib, “Come get me!”
As soon as Benjamin starts his morning “call”… the other boys are soon to follow. Like, within minutes. Henry. Alexander. And [...]

Looking for a HOT summer sandal?
Honestly… look no further. I am absolutely in love with the gladiator style sandals this summer.
I love them because any woman could work in these, play in these AND chase/run/swing/climb/twhirl/jump/skip/hop in these. They’re flat. They stay attached to your feet. They’re cozy. And the best [...]

In this day and age, it’s difficult to pry kids away from the computer, the television, their hand-held games or their gaming systems. It’s just a simple truth. Technology is the only “age” they have known to grow up in. It’s something that I have to be aware of, especially being the [...]

I couldn’t help re-tweeting this from @BabyCheapskate on Thursday:
@BabyCheapskate: OH NO! Shoulder pads coming back into fashion: http://is.gd/zTgr #fb
Yes… it’s an article entitled, Sideways turn: 80s shoulder pads make a comeback.
I must say it. I was horrified. Like… screeching-halt, double-take horrified.

You know I’m all about fashion and style. It’s my passion and my love.
But I have to say… especially today… there’s nothing more fashionable and fabulous about being healthy. Whether you’re working out… eating healthy… stopped smoking… cut-back sweets… it’s all good. All good and fashionable and fit – especially for moms.

I’m going to be 31 next week. 31 years old.

Just because an item is on sale, doesn’t mean it has to be purchased.
Even if it’s down to 99 cents.
Make sure the clothes/accessories you buy – fit, look good and you know you’ll get use out of them.
Simple advice… but it’s good advice to follow.

Growing up, my mother was very focused on instilling healthy eating habits in us. I remember as a child we never had soda (or pop, depending upon where you live), sugary cereals (oh, I wanted them so badly!), or a pantry filled with chips and cookies. When we did, it was a complete [...]

I was sent the book Michelle Style by Mandi Norwood in the mail last week.
