Set your alarms, mark your calendars, clear your schedules! Amazon’s Prime Day is just around the corner! Prime Day runs ALL DAY on both Monday, July 15 and Tuesday, July 16. Here's the skinny on Prime Day: Prime Day is like Black Friday in July. It’s a two-day period when Amazon and independent Amazon sellers deeply discount thousands of items. These deals are ONLY available to Prime members. You can get a FREE 30-day trial Prime membership HERE (you can cancel at any time before the 30 days is up). There will be three types of deals running through Prime Day: Deal of the Day Deals — These will be available the entire time (not Keep Reading
Portland Family Fun Guide: Wunderland Nickel Arcade and Cinema
Wunderland Nickel Arcade and Cinema (Portland Metro) Too hot, too cold, too wet outside? Then head for your local Wunderland Nickel Arcade and Cinemas, where the temperature and the prices are just right. This post is specifically reviewing the Milwaukie location, but there are several other Wunderlands throughout the Portland Metro area. Located just off Highway 99 in Milwaukie, Oregon, this old theater is easy to find, has ample free street parking and caters to families. Once a three-plex, the largest auditorium was converted several years ago to a surprisingly roomy nickel arcade that feels like a mini Las Vegas for kids. There is a Keep Reading
The BEST leather loafer shoe and they are under $15 shipped with Prime
I found the most fantastic shoes on Amazon and they are right around $15 shipped with Prime. Now, prices, stock, and selection change constantly on Amazon so you may find a different price when you hop over. Just keep that in mind. These lil' beauties run true-to-size and work for WIDE FEET! It took a few hours for my shoes to stretch out to accommodate my one wide foot. They ship FREE with Prime and you can return them for free if they don't fit right. Make sure you see the blue Prime icon + the FREE returns statement on the shoe you select. I have friends who spend all day on their feet (hello, teachers!) and they LOVE these Keep Reading
How to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (early access starts July 12!)
It’s almost Nordstrom Anniversary Sale time and we could not be more excited. Why you should shop this sale Let's address the obvious -- this is a "frugal lifestyle" site and Nordstrom is not exactly cheap. And you're right. Nordstrom’s prices are higher than Old Navy or Target. But here’s the deal. I eventually got tired of buying super cheap clothes that barely lasted a few months and if they did, they were misshapen and stretched out after a few washes or the color faded. And they only occasionally fit well. Generally, most everything Nordstrom sells is quality that will stand the test of time and the cut and fit of many of their Keep Reading
Portland Family Fun Guide: Wildwood Recreation Area
Wildwood Recreational Site (Mt. Hood) Whenever we start to get an urge to explore the wilderness with our young twins, Wildwood Recreation Site on Mt. Hood is near the top of our list. We discovered it about three years ago and we find new things to enjoy each time we take the trip. The Cascade Streamwatch and Wetland Boardwalk Trails are well worth the trip and there are plenty of other attractions there, too. Just 16 miles east of Sandy on Highway 26 lies the town of Welches. A crossroads to people heading to Government Camp or higher, Welches is home to Wildwood Recreation Site. We usually stop at the Thriftway just a mile past the park Keep Reading
Let’s make a plan for your summer mornings! (Mini-Boot Camp THIS WEEK!)
Summer is in full swing and if I know one thing it's this -- summer plus kids minus a plan equals chaos. And not the "we all slept in and built a fort outside and ate 47 Popsicles and watched movies until midnight" chaos. I mean "no one has dressed or gotten off the couch or lifted a finger all day" chaos. The type of chaos that makes a parent want to ship everyone off to one of those two-month long summer camps we see in the movies but can't find in a Google search. The answer isn't to "embrace the chaos" because embracing it usually means I'm working hours a day cleaning up after a bunch of sloths. Instead, let's CONTAIN THE CHAOS with a Keep Reading
