I am shocked by the popup TBBC sale on back to school and had to share with other moms who appreciate a GOOD DEAL!!!

The girls is selling fast but I got my son the backpack for $15, lunchbox for $10, and pencil case for $5!!! I have never ever seen TBBC have anything for $5 lol. I almost didn't even click on the link when I got the text thinking it wouldn't be anything special. I am so happy I did. Aff link!

NYC with a 7 year old daughter- looking for the best girly, classic NYC, must see things to do for a little girl! 🎀🗽(which broadway show??)

Hi everyone! We’re planning our daughter's first trip to New York CIty, and she’ll be 7. I would love all of your recommendations for making it feel extra magical and special for her! We will be staying in Times Square because that is where my husband will be for work.

I’m especially looking for the classic, girl, old school NYC experiences for kids rather than just typical tourist things to do. I have things like the American Girl Doll store, FAO, Eloise at the Plaza, Central Park, and looking for more ideas. Pretty tea rooms, bows, ballet, all the girly things! Department stores? Which dessert places should we go to?? What would make NYC special for a little girl? We also want to do a Broadway show. WHich one? I am thinking Lion King is at the top.

A few things I’d especially love recommendations for:

  • 🎀 The best American Girl Doll experiences- should I do lunch reservations?
  • 🫖 Pretty afternoon tea or tea rooms that are appropriate for a 7-year-old
  • 🏨 Eloise / The Plaza experiences- worth it?
  • 🩰 Ballet, theater, or other performances that a young girl would love
  • 🍰 Beautiful bakeries, ice cream shops, or fancy desserts
  • 🎁 Classic toy stores, doll shops, stationery stores, or places that feel magical
  • 👗 Pretty department stores or shopping experiences that would be fun for a little girl
  • 🌸 Parks, gardens, carousels, or other beautiful places for a little girl to explore
  • 📚 Bookstores or literary spots with a classic NYC feel
  • 💕 Any hidden gems or old-fashioned NYC experiences that you think we absolutely shouldn't miss

If you’ve taken a daughter, granddaughter, niece, or little girl around NYC at this age, what did she love the most? And are there any experiences you would specifically skip with a 7 year old?

Basically, I’m hoping to create the ultimate magical first NYC trip for a 7 year old girl and would be so grateful for your favorite recommendations! 🎀🗽💕

What Do You Actually Buy for a Man Who Says He “Doesn’t Need Anything”?

I feel like gift ideas for men are either incredibly specific or completely impossible. 😂

Every year I find myself searching for gifts for husbands, dads, brothers, boyfriends, and men who somehow already own everything they could possibly want and I waste too much time searching.

I’m curious what other people are buying.

What’s the best gift you’ve ever given a man that he actually loved and used?

I’m especially looking for ideas that are:

  • 🎁 Useful rather than just decorative
  • 💰 Affordable or reasonably priced
  • 👨‍🔧 Good for the guy who has everything
  • 🏠 Something he might not think to buy for himself
  • 🎄 Good for birthdays, Christmas, Father’s Day, anniversaries, etc.

I recently put together a list of gift ideas for men because I was tired of seeing the same generic suggestions over and over. I included a mix of practical, fun, inexpensive, and more unique ideas.

I’ll leave the list here in case it helps anyone else who is currently stuck trying to figure out what to buy: Ultimate Gift Guide for Men

But I’d actually love to add to it, so what would you put on the list?

And I have to ask: What’s a gift you bought for a man that you were convinced he'd love… and he absolutely did not? 😂

Let's save each other from bad gift purchases.

Baby name advice...

I know older names are back in style. However, I have a favorite grandma with a name everyone says I cannot use, my family says its horrible and I cannot do that to a child lol. Where do you draw the line? Do I just go with it because I love it and this grandmother was so special to me? Or do I listen to my family (and frankly everyone else) that I can't name a sweet little girl this? Anyone been in this situation?

Lilly is having a sale (again... sigh) but you guys, this dress is STUNNING and so 1960's and the original price was $428 (now $169) so I am hoping with the price, the quality is going to be superb like old school lilly. Can't wait to rock this on vacation!!

https://go.shopmy.us/p-71270125 I got it in the blue/green color, which I feel is even more retro. I know lilly is hurting wit all these sales but I could not pass up this beauty!!

Lunchbox help for next school year... my daughter is outgrowing the PB Kids one. Need a cute one that is bigger!

It is time for us to upgrade our lunchbox situation. We have outgrown the PB Kids style lunch box with Bentgo inside. She still likes things girly and cute. What bigger lunch boxes are out there that are still cute? Also, do they make bigger Bengto boxes? She is eating everything in her bengto box and needs more food lol!
