Who Doesn't Love Fall & Back to School Time? Back to school shopping is when my early bird personality has us finishing up our back to school supply and clothes shopping in early August. Honestly, I do most of it online to avoid in aisle fighting, crowds, lines, all of it. Ask me how I buy clothes for my tween? I let her fill up store carts online and then we go through the carts together with our budget in mind and make choices together. It's way less stress in the store, issues in the dressing room and it actually makes it fun for her and me to work together.  I started doing it with the younger two this … [Read more...]

EYES by TOGOSPA

Dislosure: TMC was not paid for this post. Products received are for review purposes only. Opinions are TMC's only.
