Get the First Look inside Indigo at The Mall at Short Hills – Canada’s Biggest Book Store Now Open in the US

This is a sponsored post and brought to you by Indigo.

Last week I had a chance to visit Indigo open now inside Short Hills Mall right here in New Jersey. If you’re never heard of Indigo, you’re probably not alone. While Indigo is Canada’s BIGGEST Bookstore, it’s brand new to the U.S. The first ever U.S. based store is officially open in Short Hills Mall and I’ll be the first to tell you, it does not disappoint! The thing I loved most was that it’s not your average bookstore, it’s so much more. Indigo features a shop within a shop concept offering a unique array of products for women, men, the home, baby, kids, and books.

Have you given much though to retirement? Truthfully, it’s wasn’t something I thought much about until recently. With my step-dad’s sudden retirement a few weeks ago, it’s something that’s been fresh on my mind. While I thought I was on the right track and doing things right to protect our retirement, an eye opening trip to New York City with Prudential showed me that I may not doing as great as I thought. As a woman talking about money, especially publicly, is kind of a taboo topic but it shouldn’t be. It’s just one more thing that should be talked about and as women, we need to be more comfortable talking about it so we can prepare for our future and retirement so we can enjoy out best life when we’re older.

Fall Consignment Sales are here! Make the most of your shopping trip with these Consignment Sale Tips, Tricks & Hacks!

This is a sponsored post in partnership with JBF Lower Bucks. All opinions are my own.

Fall is a tricky time of year when it comes to shopping for kids clothes. If you’re like most people I know, you probably take the kids back to school shopping right before school goes back. That’s great but you’re still probably buying shorts and tee shirts since the weather is still pretty warm (if not down right HOT) when the kids first go back. Within a few weeks the temperatures start to drop and it’s time to bring out the jeans, sweatshirts and jackets. If you didn’t get any of that when you first shopped, don’t worry it’s consignment sale time! Consignment sales like JBF Lower Bucks hold their big sales in the Spring and Fall so now is the perfect time to pick up all the cooler weather essentials your kids will need this year! Finding the best deals takes a little preparation. Here are some of my consignment sale tips, tricks & hacks to help you find the best deals at the JBF Lower Bucks  sale.

I’ve been keeping a little secret. Well not that little, especially if you’re following me on social media. I’ve been sharing all over Facebook and Twitter! In case you haven’t heard, in a few short days I’ll be on my way to Los Angeles, California for a jam packed Disney adventure. Disney and Marvel Studios invited me to the red carpet premiere of CHRISTOPHER ROBIN (eeek!), a trip to Walt Disney Animation Studios to screen select footage from RALPH BREAKS THE INTERNET: WRECK-IT RALPH 2 (opening in theatres on 11/21) and a special AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR event. To say this is the trip of a lifetime would be an understatement. I’m literally shaking as I type this. The excitement is almost too much!  [Read more…] about I’m Going to the Christopher Robin Premiere

As we make our way through these summer vacation, keeping the kids occupied has been my top priority. When the weather is nice, there’s no better place to be than outside enjoying nature instead of in front of a screen. I gotta keep screen time for those rainy days. Since there’s no shortage of things to find right in your own backyard, a backyard scavenger hunt is a fun way to keep the kids busy on a little picnic, and the kids will have hours of fun. I created this fun backyard scavenger hunt printable that you can print out at home for your own fun family adventure. There’s even a “surprise” section on the scavenger hunt that you can customize and change to fit your family. For our latest adventure, the surprise was a Kinder Joy™ egg for the kids, hidden inside our picnic basket. [Read more…] about Backyard Scavenger Hunt Fun with Kinder Joy™
