It seems like just yesterday that I went to January’s thrift store of the month according to the fundraising calendar “Houston’s Best Resale Stores.” (Maybe that’s because I went back to MAM during Thriftapalooza!) I guess time flies when you’re having fun, and so, before February flew right by, my Houston thrifting sis Mary and I headed to the Charity Guild Shop last Friday. Like

Houston Thriftapalooza Part 3
Remember back in Thriftapalooza Part 1 I warned you that the third and final part of my epic thrift trilogy would be the best?! This is your cue to go get a cup of coffee/wine depending on the time of day and settle in because Shannon and I found the bargains, the house, the 8 foot tree and more!! We started a new week of
Houston Thriftapalooza Part 2
I might be subconsciously trying to draw out my sister’s visit by spreading out the thrift haul reveal… or I might have had guests and birthdays and computer issues.

The item in question was a Longchamp bag and my sister and I found two at MAM Resale in their tote section for a great price! We purchased them first and foremost
Mom Style Revisited
My Instagram post this morning has got me thinking about mom style again so I thought I would quickly share my thoughts with the hope that y’all find them encouraging rather than discouraging, empowering rather than deflating. Here’s my basic stance on mom style: wear whatever YOU feel great in. Just because I love dresses doesn’t mean you need to. Just because I feel naked
January Thrift Haul
Well I can’t promise timeliness, but I did aim to share my monthly thrift hauls in 2018 so here comes my January report… with a qualifier. If you follow along on Instagram, you know that my sister just visited and we engaged in a 10-day Houston thrifting spree. I plan to share all the shenanigans (which include her buying a Texas house) over the next
