Faux Fur Favorites
I can't explain and really what need to I have to do so? I absolutely adore faux fur. Coats, gloves trimmed in faux fur, hats, scarves, all of it. I can't get enough. I'm so glad that this season is indulging me so much too. Last week I pulled out my faux fur scarf and snood. I draped myself in the leopard coat I bought from Shopbop on sale back in July. My children were and are still mortified. Buy some coats from the affiliate links to pay for their therapy later, would you? Then my husband surprised me with this black beauty. As he came in from a hug and a kiss after a long day he draped it over my shoulders and I couldn't stop smiling and laughing. I wore it for a solid hour in my house. I might get one just to use as a bathrobe. I love it that much. My children don't … [Read more...]

Because I hold fond memories of this flat-roof, rib-sided wagon-like mobile. 2011 Ford Flex (mummysproductreviews.com) The Flex: What is it? When the Ford Flex arrived we had our third kid only a few months before. I was intrigued by the idea of having a car that was like both an SUV and a station wagon. How would it drive? What kind of storage did this vehicle contain? In the end, what the heck is it? Is it a crossover or an SUV? Maybe it is a station wagon? "If you took an SUV and mated it with a station wagon you would get the Ford Flex.” -Dominic Mason, my husband. What looked like a funky mix of a wagon and … [Read more...]
