This holiday season I gifted to myself this t-shirt

i'm totally tweeting this

I say this phrase often, usually as Rob or the kids are doing something funny, frustration or confusing. Sometimes I never actually make it to Twitter but it’s always what I think of first. This is what I consider the perfect gift. I’d like to get my brother a t-shirt that says Yes Chef! because he works in a professional kitchen. My mother goes by Mom-Mom with the grandkids, have you ever seen anything with Mom-Mom on it? Zazzle is the place to get that loving term of endearment or funny nickname on something like an apron, a tee, stationery or even a pair of shoes. Zazzle is offering the first ever customizable shoes. Choose your design and plaster it all over your favorite style of Keds.

Back to School The Children’s Place GC Giveaway-CLOSED

Today was the first day of school for Shaun and last week before we left on vacation we realized Shaun needed some new shorts and khaki pants for vacation and school so we headed over to The Children’s Place.

We have been shopping at The Children’s Place for years. I remember shopping at Children’s Place for Sabreena who is now 14 years old. One of the main reasons we continue to shop at Children’s Place is it’s affordable plus the styles look great. With three kids to buy for we need to stretch our dollar and we are usually able to find sweet deals on clothes at Children’s Place. Melinda and I also like the selection that they offer. Shaun is a pretty basic boy who usually wears shorts or jeans depending on the season and t shirts and long sleeve tees. Children’s Place offers a ton of different t-shirts graphics, jean colors and styles and they even have uniforms for those kids who need them for school. They also offer sneakers, coats, hat, gloves, sleepwear and backpacks. His winter coat has come from Children’s Place for the last couple year and usually lasts as long at it fits

With school back in full swing be sure to check out there clothing line up and fantastic prices on everything you need to send your kids to school in style.  Win a $25 Gift Card to start fall and school shopping. Visit The Children’s Place and tell me one of the “outfits” you particularly like.

Back to School T.J. Maxx GC Giveaway-CLOSED

School started today for Sabreena and she was beyond excited! It’s still summer here so we haven’t actually done a whole lot of school clothes shopping yet. We are headed out to T.J. Maxx next week though to check out the jeans and sneakers selection. She likes the “already been worn 100 times look” in jeans. Do you know how much those cost? T.J. Maxx has all the latest styles AND designers at normal people prices.

This season is no different. Hit up your local T.J.Maxx or Marshalls stores for the latest in denim styles such as jeggings, backpacks in the coolest colors and patterns and new fall outerwear such as faux leather bombers. It was chilly out this morning as Sabreena was waiting for the bus, she could’ve used something like that.

This season do more than shop with T.J. Maxx; help a child in need. Post a tote to your Facebook wall to help them reach their $50,000 donation goal to Save the Children. For every tote posted, T.J.Maxx will donate $1, up to $50,000, to Save the Children’s U.S. Programs, which provide early education, nutrition, physical fitness and literacy programs to children in need.

Win a $25 Gift Card to T.J. Maxx (also redeemable at Marshalls) during the LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! Back to School Blitz. Visit T.J. Maxx and sign up for their email subscription which will keep you in the loop of great finds, news and events.

Protect Against Everyday Radiation with Belly Armor

As parents we want to keep our children safe; safe from dangers that can and cannot see. Research shows that radiation may be harmful for children, even in utero. Lower engery radiation comes from regular everyday items like cellphones, laptops, televisions and power lines. Ionizing Radiation is much more harmful but not something we need to deal with on a daily basis.

Belly Armor is a new collection of maternity apparel and accessories like maternity belt made to protect your child against harmful everyday radiation. The Belly Blanket is a high quality baby-soft blanket that is meant to be draped over a child or over a pregnant belly while sitting or lying down. The Belly Tee is a lightweight and breathable cotton/spandex blend maternity tee with a layer of RadiaShield to protect your unborn baby.

RadiaShield® fabric is a woven fabric made of 82% silver fiber and is completely safe and non-allergenic. RadiaShield® fabric shields against everyday radiation by neutralizing incoming electromagnetic waves. The material isn’t any heavier than a regular light-weight cotton tee and doesn’t require special laundering techniques.

The health risks from electromagnetic radiation are driven by the amount of exposure and the intensity of exposure. Any reduction of either the amount or intensity of exposure to everyday radiation will reduce your health risk. It is impossible to completely eliminate radiation exposure, but by wearing Belly Armor products during periods of higher risk activities (while on cell phones or working at the computer) you can significantly reduce you and your baby’s risk. Even only 2 to 4 days a week will make a difference.

Belly Armor can be purchased at select maternity boutiques such as Metro Minis, Located in the Upper East Side, NYC and Nest Maternity, San Francisco, voted “2010 Best of the Bay Maternity Store” by Bay Area Parents Magazine. LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! readers can purchase Belly Armor products online with a 10% discount using code “lookwhatmom”, quick offer expires September 30th.

Wordless Wednesday – Shae’s New Dress-up Station

Shae’s birthday is this Friday and this is what I made for her, a DIY dress-up storage unit for all of her costumes and accessories.




Mighty Fine Tees for kids and adults

Even as an adult Rob likes fun tees. And as an adult Rob collected comic books of all kinds. His faves were Marvel and Scooby Doo. The iconic Marvel images have been captured on Mighty Fine tees for grown-ups and kids. Here is Rob and Shaun in their very own Mighty Fine tees!

Mighty Fine tees and knit tops embody a carefree, casual California lifestyle by using American images, vintage styles and irreverent graphics. These tees along with other designs such as Hello Kitty, Sesame Street and more are available at fine boutiques, specialty stores, department stores and online.

Both Rob’s and Shaun’s tees are a soft velvety cotton with a screen printed image.  Rob’s especially has a retro feel probably coming from the pale gray color. I recieved another tee, too small for Shaun so it was gifted to my BFF’s  almost 5 year old Super Hero fanatic!  He loves it.  I think the sizes run a tad small so I would upsize at least for boys.

What is your MOM uniform?

I’m sitting in the library right now looking at 8 other moms/caregivers and what they are wearing. It is a diverse group to say the least.

Mom 1 is wearing super tight skinny jeans (like the ones the Jonas Brothers wear), studded platform sandals and a skin tight white tank with FULL makeup, false eyelashes and all.  Maybe she has a john date afterwards.

Mom 2 is wearing a power suit, navy blue knee length skirt white button down and matching jacket with the most gorgeous pumps! She doesn’t look comfortable, like she’d rather be doing something else.

Mom 3 & 4 are very similar; denim short shorts and too tight preteen style shirts with ked style sneakers.  Hopefully they are headed to the mall to buy some clothes that fit them today not 12 years ago.

Mom 5 is wearing lovely gray trousers, a pink twinset and sensible shoes with matching belt and handbag. Her kid on the other hand has a dirty shirt (looks like jelly) on and dried snot on his face and in his hair.

Mom 6 is in her jammies. Seriously she’s wearing Hello Kitty fleece pants and a man’s undershirt with flip flops.  There is nothing more to say about her.

Mom 7 is pregnant and is squeezing herself into a short skirt that’s playing peek-a-boo with her butt while she’s crawling around the floor with her toddler. At least she’s making an attempt to cover her belly with a long tee but it’s fighting to make an appearance.

Mom 8 is also pregnant but looks FAB in her green cargo capris, tan fitted tee and jean jacket and cute sandals. Very surburbia, she belongs in a catalog.

What is Your Mom Uniform?

Me, I’m in my FAVE mom outfit, cargo pants (that can be tied up to make capris), heather grey soft tee and flip flops. This outfit came from Old Navy and I’m tempted to go and buy the same outfit in every possible color combination. It’s comfortable but not sloppy, that’s my goal each day when I leave the house. I may not be the epitome of fashion but at least I don’t wear mom jeans and my goodies aren’t out for all to see.

What is your daily uniform for just a regular day at home, running errands or just hanging with the kids and family?
