Nordstrom Sale

The anniversary sale is something I look forward to every summer! When else can you get the brand new stuff on sale and a lot of time, brands that rarely go on sale?!

I even planned on this at the beginning of the year when thinking about our budget with me staying at home, ha! Well...I stayed a bit under my budget. I was a little disappointed with the sale selection this year...but I did find some things I just couldn't live without ;) I have a lot of fun shopping for Hunter during the sale, too!

Did you participate? Find anything you are thrilled about?? These are the things that I splurged on this year...

Nordy's Sale

It's one of my favorite times of the year... the Nordstrom Anniversary sale! :) Hunter and I were at the Tacoma store by about 10am on Friday ready to do some damage. I love that it's all their brand new stuff that is on sale! The sale is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine.

Thought I would share with you all, some of my great finds!





And then of course, I had to get Hunter a couple of things! ;)







And these are the things I wanted, but left behind (for now)....

Spring and Summer is Coming!

I've always been one to look forward to new seasons, I love them all, but am always ready for a new one to come on through! Ever since Hunter was born, one of my favorite things that goes along with the change of season is.... a change of wardrobe for our little man.

Those who know me, know that I am a little weird about Hunter's clothes. Certain shirts go with certain pants, which goes with certain socks, and of course the shoes have to go well with the outfit as well! I never knew that dressing a little boy could be so fun. Sadly, I look forward to picking out what he is going to wear every morning! I am the first one to admit that I am weird and pathetic. You don't need to remind me that it's a waste because how fast they grow out of clothes or how dirty they get. I know all these things and I don't care.

But... Spring and Summer are on their way, so that means that I had to do a little shopping online this weekend. Janie and Jack are having a sale of 25% of your entire purchase with the code JJPLAY. Gap is also have a 30% of your total purchase with the code GAPSAVE.

So... I thought I'd share with you all what I ordered because obviously I think it's the cutest stuff of there right now! :)

Janie & Jack:













Gap:





Hunter has both pairs of these jeans in size 18-24 months, but I can tell they are going to be long enough much longer. So, I had to order some 2T's. Gap's Lil' Loose jeans are my very favorite jeans for Hunter. They always fit him just right and are comfortable enough to play in and nice enough looking to look stylin' in. :)





And.... for the biggest question. What type of shoes do you put on boys in the summer when they wear shorts? I hate the look of socks with shorts and I just feel like Hunter would be so uncomfortable wearing tennis shoes without socks. Any suggestions?

So, I ordered these from the Gap. What do you honestly think of these? I'm not in love with the shoes, but I think it's a good compromise of Hunter to run around and be comfortable without wearing socks. And the sandals... I love the look of them, but I'm worried that the strap between the toes might be uncomfortable. What do you think about that?





I kind of splurged this weekend on clothes for Hunter, but I figure I shouldn't have to buy him clothes for awhile, right?? Sure...

Hunter & Mommy Date

Yesterday, Hunter and I had a lunch date, that was sandwich between a couple shopping dates. Whoops!

We went to church with a friend and then had about 4 hours to kill before a birthday party, so of course we decided to indulge in a little retail therapy. We went to Bellevue Square and wondered around.

I had a 20% off coupon from Gymboree and found that the whole store was already 30% off, so we scored this cute outfit for summer for half off!



And then we found the biggest steal of the year! A North Face Denali jacket that was regularly $79 for.... wait for it... $24! Here it is:



At the same store, we found Hunter some North Face Fleece pants that were regularly $25, on sale for $9/each. So we had to get both the black and blue ones.



So, we found some great steals! And to even it out to make it a "normal" deal sort of day, I had to go to Lululemon and get some new Groove crop pants and some Groove running shorts.





If you haven't splurged at Lulu, do it! It's pretty pricey, but well worth it. I rarely feel like wearing any of my other pants or tanks to the gym. Jesse got me some of their socks for Valentine's Day and now I am hooked to them, too!

Hunter and I worked up quite the appetite shopping, so we headed over to The Cheesecake Factory and enjoyed an awesome lunch and conversation. He's quite the intellectual! I felt a little silly going to a sit down restaurant with just Hunter, but it ended up being great. He was such a good boy... probably had something to do with the strawberry lemonade he was sucking down!
