Our Five Ring Circus: The Love List

The Love List

One of the things I love about blogging and social media is discovering new products that I must try/buy.  Word of mouth can be very convincing, and I've discovered many new products that way!

I figured I would kick off January by sharing a few of MY favorite things!  (All current, of course.) 

CURRENTLY LOVING:

{XHILARATION PAJAMA SET}

I bought some pajamas at Target with a Christmas gift card and they were so comfortable that I had to return for another set! I love the looser fit of the leggings and the slouchy shirt! I'm not one to sleep in pants, because I hate how they twist throughout the night, but these are perfect! AND I just might have worn them outside this morning while waiting with my kids at the bus stop.  No shame! (I bought these ones, too!)

{VALENTINE'S DAY DECOR FROM THE TARGET DOLLAR SPOT} 

Speaking of Target, I went into the store on Sunday for some Excedrin Migraine and couldn't make it past the Valentine's Day section in the Dollar Spot.  Darn you, Target! At least my house will look festive after I take down the Christmas decorations.

{CANVAS TOTE}

This is also a Dollar Spot find. In all fairness, Lily spotted the tote and we needed to replace our library bag anyway. The Valentine's Day tissues are from the dollar spot, too. I bought some for Lily and Lexie!  Here's one of my favorite mom hacks: Put your library cards in a clear luggage tag and attach it to a library tote.  You won't misplace your cards and they can scan them through the luggage tag!

{APT 9 HOODED PUFFER JACKET} 

I needed a new winter coat, so Grant bought me one for Christmas. It's so warm and cozy!  It almost feels like I'm wearing a blanket, which is perfect for the winter weather that finally hit Pittsburgh!



{BOOTIE SLIPPERS}

While you're at Kohl's, buy yourself a pair of bootie slippers. They are really warm and comfortable, and they fit well over the legs of the pajamas I mentioned!

SONOMA life + style® Women's Bootie Slippers

{INFLUENSTER}

This is more of a service, but if you haven't joined Influenster yet, do it now!!! You have the chance to receive free products for testing purposes and share on social media.  This is my current VoxBox!

{APT 9 BROOKLYN SHOPPER} 

I don't know what's wrong with me, but I destroy purses.  After spending a fortune on more expensive purses, I gave up and started to buy them at Kohl's.  I try to buy a new one twice a year, just to mix things up. This is my current find. I love all the compartments!

{BUSY BAGS BINDER ITEMS}

I created a Busy Bags Binder using items from the Target Dollar Spot over the summer, and it still gets pinned several times a day!  It's one of the most used items in our house, so I try to update it frequently. A few days ago, I found these fun learning activities in the Target Dollar Spot. You can make them on your own OR you could just buy them at Target.  As much as I want to be the mom who paints, glues, and sews activity items, I'm just not. I vote simple!

{NETFLIX}

Everybody loves Netflix, right?  I sure do!  I can watch Gilmore Girls episodes on repeat, find out what all the fuss is about Switched at Birth, get caught up on the past season of New Girl, and eagerly await the return of House of Cards and Orange is the New Black.  Oh, and my kids love it, too! You know what they say...the family who watches Netflix together stays together.  Or something like that.  Thanks for the awesome socks, Netflix!  My husband and I are fighting over the last pair! #StreamTeam

  1. LOVE all of that Target Dollar Spot Valentine's stuff! One of my resolutions is to buy less this year, so I need to stay away from there. :o)

  5. I heard Target's dollar spot is fantastic this season, and today someone gave me a $100 gift card! I feel like I've won the lottery. I cannot wait to check it out!

  6. I want EVERYTHING in this post. Seriously, excellent. I'm also incredibly jealous of your one spot. I thought our Target was rocking it...but yours is just on fire! I was just there today, but I think I need to go back and see if I can find those busy bag items! Also (sorry for the novel) I'm so mad I didn't take a picture of my Jingle Box the second I got it...my daughter devoured the cookies, took the little doll (we got an Olaf!), and hid the nail polish. Oh, toddlers.

  7. LOVE those pajamas and I seriously need to hit up the Target dollar spot pronto! The last time I was there they only had a few Valentines day things out. Obviously they are probably sold out already by now :P!
