#FairTuesday

Well, Thanksgiving is over.  All the turkey has been consumed and it's on to the next holiday!  A lot of people have already gotten a jump on their Christmas shopping by participating in the Black Friday sales.  I personally didn't, since the idea of getting hip-checked into a rack of clothes over a pair of socks (this actually happened to a friend!) just isn't my introverted cup of tea.  There is one sale day I get excited about every year, though, and that's Fair Tuesday!  I wanted to share some of the sales with all of you, in case you're looking for some ethical gift ideas this year!  The best part? All the sales are online, so I don't have to get out of my jammies.

Ten Thousand Villages: Fair trade products made by artisans around the world.  They're offering 30% off all their jewelry today, and free shipping on orders over $50. (no coupon code needed)  This lovely is my favorite, and is only $27.30:

OOTD - It's a Turkey Day Miracle!

You know who almost never wins contests?  Me.  You know who just won a super-cute new purse in a giveaway from one of her favorite companies?

OOTD - I'm Alive!!

Hi, ya'll!  It's been a while, hasn't it?  I did not intend to take such a long break from blogging, but the weather change (and health issues that go along with it) have knocked us onto our butts in the past few weeks!  Between sinus issues, kids' bellyaches, and Baby A having not one, but TWO viruses already this year, we'd almost decided to seal ourselves inside a giant bubble until March!  Thankfully, though, we haven't had anything too serious, and I believe everyone is on the mend and things can get back to normal.  Or, at least, whatever our version of 'normal' is!

Sometimes, I get to take photos by myself... until this happens....

Fair Trade Friday - Sweater Weather

It's finally feeling like autumn!  I'll be honest, I've had a few days in the past few weeks where I've wanted to wear a sweater despite the still 80-degree temps, just because in my head, it should already be fall weather.  But, it's finally here!  Having to bundle up put me in the mood to do some online window-shopping for some knitwear, and I'd like to share a few favorites I found on Fair Indigo.

Thrifted Pinterest - Copycat

So, the world keeps turning, and I still have to get dressed every morning.  Such is life, and really, it's a great life!  I thought I'd share an outfit from a few days ago, that's basically a copy of a Pinterest outfit I pinned after finding a new dress at the thrift store.  Here's the original:
