This spring I was given the so hard and arduous task of shopping Gymboree 🙂 I have to honestly say that I haven’t stepped foot in a Gymboree store since Sabreena was a baby. The store is in the same spot in our mall as it’s always been for the last 18 years but there is something that doesn’t steer me through the doors. I said yes because I know Gymboree is very popular but wanted to know why it wasn’t catching my attention.
I started looking online and found prices that ranged from “high” to “expected” for name brands. Their sale section was really good, like stocking up prices. There was a variety of colors and sizes and designs but I wasn’t looking for winter clothes at this time so off to the mall I went.
Rob and I spent a good time looking at all of their collections and settled on Blooming Nautical and Tea Time Afternoon as our favorites because of the bold colors and cute designs. We walked out with 2 complete outfits, 1 basic tee and 2 leggings. I was excited to show Shae her new duds.
She loved Corsage Poppy tee. I was excited because it’s something I saw online and fell in love with. I did notice after it came out of the wash the blue was faded but I’m not sure if it was always like that. I wish it was a more vibrant saturated hue like the brink pink poppy flower in the girl’s hair. The skirt maintained the bright pink that I was originally drawn to. The pastels of the Tea Time Afternoon separates didn’t loose any color after washing. The material maintained it’s structure and shape, something that doesn’t always happen with kid’s clothes.

I think I had an image of Gymboree in my head of having very preppy stiff designs; clothing with no character. I was wrong, dead wrong. I also need to realize that Shae can give life to a burlap sack. Will I go back to Gymboree? Probably. I do like the more trendy vibrant collections so will definitely keep my eyes open for key items that Shae can rock with style.
Do you want to check out Gymboree for yourself and win a $75 GC? Tell me what pieces you’d like to shop for.

We are huge sports fans in this house and we are even bigger fans of Fathead Wall Graphics.
We have been fans of Fathead for about three to four years now. Three years ago around Christmas we got Shaun a Brian Deegan Fathead which was his very first Fathead and this past Christmas we got him a John Cena Fathead. Shaun is totally obsessed with the WWE and Monday Night Raw so Melinda and I felt like it would be the perfect Christmas present which it was because Shaun loved it.
Every time I look at Fathead’s website I find something new that I would love to have. Recently I found the Alabama – Bryant-Denny Stadium Mural that I think would look awesome in our living room over the TV but Melinda told me that wasn’t going to happen. I am going to find a wall for the mural even if it kills me or Melinda does, LOL.
This is the Alabama Mural that I want for over the TV
