2020 was the year that really taught me to appreciate delivery services. I had dabbled in them in the past, but really got hooked on them last year. I was at home with the kids full time and didn’t want to take them to the store to run errands, so I really had no choice. But now that I’ve started, there’s really no turning back and I honestly can’t imagine taking my kids grocery shopping or on an errand… for a long long time.

Do you know what my favorite membership is? Walmart+ – not to sound like a broken record, because I’ve talked about this a few times previously, but there’s really nothing better than Walmart+ for home deliveries. Everything I need from diapers to mascara can be at my door in a matter of hours with a few clicks. It’s life changing plus time and sanity saving.

Walmart+ membership lasts for a year and it costs $98 (broken down that’s only $2 per week – calculated based on 52 weeks) or $12.95 per month. As a Walmart+ member you get Walmart+ FREE SHIPPING from Walmart.com with no order minimum.  (excludes oversized freight & Marketplace items) as well as free delivery from your store on orders $35+ (restrictions apply) on groceries and more as soon as same day! Which is how I’ve had diapers delivered to my door in a matter of hours when I was on the verge of running out.

Last week I realized I was low on just about every cleaning supply in my house (swiffer re-fills, swiffer duster, windex, paper towels, folex – aka magic), so I quickly logged in to my Walmart+ account and placed an order. I’m always looking for little ways to make the days fun for Crosby right now so I added this set for her so she could “help” me. I also threw in a princess dress for her and a fun cardigan for me. #whateverittakesIt may have taken twice as long but she loved it and asks to “clean” everyday… I think a kid’s vacuum is in her future.

Wilder even had FOMO from our cleaning party and wanted in on the action.

MOBILE SCAN & GO:

Walmart+ also offers a mobile scan & go  so you can checkout from Walmart with your phone as you shop in-store. Just scan, pay & be on your way!

Thank you to Walmart for sponsoring this post.

Happy Monday! I can’t believe it’s Thanksgiving week… and even though the holiday will be different for so many this year (my family included), I know it will still be a nice day. Thanksgiving also marks the start of a crazy cyber week (black Friday, cyber Monday, etc). It seems like every year it starts earlier and earlier and get more intense. Part of my job is to highlight sales and be a resource for anyone looking for them. I’m sharing deals on things I love that I think you’ll like too. However, that said I don’t want anyone to feel pressured or like you “have” to buy things. I really don’t want anyone to feel bad if they are not in a position to spend right now. What matters most, especially right now, is health. These are all just material things that do not matter in the grand scheme of things.

Sorry for the rant, it’s just important for me to be transparent – this year more than ever.

With all that said I did want to mention a few of my favorite brands are having beauty sales right now; Elemis, Murad and Vanity Planet. These are all brands I’ve used for years.

I started using Elemis almost 4 years ago when I was pregnant with Crosby and really fell in love with their products. My #1 holy grail from them is their pro-collagen cleansing balm. I’m a big fan of double cleansing and have tried just about every cleansing balm on the market and nothing compares to this one. It really melts your makeup off and cleanses your skin. I also think their gift sets are worth checking out if you’re looking for gifts for beauty lovers – or maybe just a kit to try out some of their products.

Murad is another brand I’ve loyally used for years. I really love their retinol line for anti-aging products. Specifically this serum and eye cream. I’m also a big fan of their sunscreen and vitamin c line. They also have some really fun holiday sets.

I’ve talked about the Vanity Planet Aira facial steamer at length in the past so I won’t be too redundant other than mention how much I love this device. It feels like a luxe treat for my skin that I can quickly do in my own bathroom. I think it would be an amazing gift. I’m also a big fan of their cleansing brush.

Thank you so much for reading – hope you have a great start to your Thanksgiving week.

Tis the week, or season I guess, for sales! I know typically you think of Black Friday as the kickoff for “cyber week,” but it seems like lots of retailers start their sales early. One of my favorite places to shop online is Shopbop and today they started their “Buy More Save More Sale.” I wanted to share my favorite pieces I own and love that are included.

But first here’s a breakdown of the sale info…

I do a lot of shopping on Shopbop. They carry so many of my favorite brands like BB Dakota, Wayf, Agolde, Gorjana, Levis, etc. I’m including photos I’ve taken with pieces that I’ve worn over the past few months.

Happy Monday and Thanksgiving week! I’ve been so busy this past week and feel so bad to have neglected my blog. I have a few posts planed for this week and will be back on track. Today I want to share an amazing sale that’s happening over at Freshly Picked. It’s no secret they make my favorite baby shoes. Both Crosby and Wilder’s closets are stocked with them. Their semi-annual sale just started this morning and it is the BEST time to buy from them.

Obviously I love their shoes… soft soles, sneakers, boots, sandals – we have worn them all and are big fans. I also really love their classic diaper bag. It’s a great size, super practical for everyday with plenty of storage and pockets for everything you need on the go. It also comes in a cute mini size, which works for adults who don’t want to carry as much as well as kids. You can get matching ones and twin with your mini or send them to preschool with it. Comes in so many fun colors and today it’s on sale for $122 – $55 off!

If you want to save even more there’s a membership program you can join called The Fringe. It’s kind of like a savings account, not a subscription service.

I even have a discount code to make your first month of Fringe free FPxAshnfashn

-NO cost to you. $10 a month gets you $10 in store credit each month. The credit rolls over and NEVER expires.

-Fringe members get 20% off of EVERY purchase on the site

-No risk can cancel any time

-Stack discounts with sale items on the site! Makes the sale prices even LOWER.

– Exclusive deals every week.

-FREE shipping on EVERY order (US and Canada)

Hope you have a great week – thank you so much for reading and following!

Shopbop is one of my favorite sites to buy clothes. They’re incredibly user friendly and if you have a Prime account you get free shipping/don’t have to enter your info in. Is there anything more annoying than stopping to get your credit card while shopping online? I’ve definitely exited out of a website because I didn’t want to have to go get it. #lazy So I really appreciate when places make it easier.

ANYWAY, there’s a big sale currently happening over at Shopbop and honestly the best time to shop there are the sales.

20% off orders under $500 + 25% off orders over $500 with code STOCKUP19. ends on 9/28 (Sunday)

I wanted to share a roundup of some items I personally own that are included in the sale.
