Our Keepsake Journal is Here! 🎉

Middle school was the absolute worst. I would not relive ages 11-14 for one hundred bajillion dollars. (Okay, I would, but not for a penny less.) Between fighting with my mother about going to the mall with my friends and trying to tame my hair-helmet on a daily basis, there’s not a lot of good to recall from those years. One shining spot of happiness, however, is my Lisa Frank folder. And my Lisa Frank notebook. And Lisa Frank trapper-keeper. And Lisa Frank pencils. And Lisa Frank stickers…

But what did I NOT have back in 1990 that would have made sleepovers a whole lot better? LISA FRANK PAJAMAS. However, thanks to Target, I CAN live out that dream. At 37 years old. 

That’s right, ladies. For around $15-20,Target is now offering a line of Lisa Frank pajamas FOR GROWNUPS. Check out this super cute tiger nightgown. If this doesn’t take me back to my days of doodling “K (heart) J” I don’t know what will. 

Or this unicorn one, which is the EXACT design that I picked for my 5th grade reading folder. Because UNICORNS.

Or, if you’re like me and haven’t worn a nightgown in 20 years, Target is also offering super comfy 2-piece sets like these. 

Your husband is either going to be totally creeped out by you channeling your middle-school self, or happy to return to his younger days too and find your new pjs a little enticing. I mean, the giant kisses on this set will get something going, right? At the very least, they’ll remind you of dreaming that you might kiss Jimmy by the swings after school. 

Either way you’ll feel young and comfortable. And maintain your loyalty to all things Target while a little nostalgia visits in your dreams. Maybe it’s time to plan a slumber party with your girlfriends! Throw on your LF pjs, start Children of the Corn or Poltergeist, and pop some popcorn. Only this time we get to trade in our juice boxes for wine!

***The word is out. Target is temporarily out of stock for most styles. Looks like everyone else wants to relive their middle school days too. But we ladies know our Target will come through for us in the end, so keep checking back!

I’m 4 Months Post-Partum…And Still Wearing Maternity Pants

I'm 4 Months Post-Partum...And Still Wearing Maternity Pants www.herviewfromhome.com

Yep, you read that right. Four months after birthing a tiny (well, that’s debatable) human, and I am still rocking my maternity pants. And you know what? I’m not hiding it! Let me give you a few reasons why I’m still wearing these bad boys. 1. I’m In NO Rush. When my oldest was born, I think I was one of those moms that actually packed my regular jeans in my hospital overnight bag. I know, I know, what was I thinking, right? I was naïve and hopeful. With my middle child, I knew better than to pack anything but stretchy...

In Search of a Swimsuit to Love

In Search of a Swimsuit to Love www.herviewfromhome.com

Swimsuit season. It brings out all the emotions! I am all about Wearing the Damn Swimsuit. But swimsuit designers, can a Mama with real non-Baywatch boobs get some help? I seriously can’t be the only one that struggles to find a suit that contains the girls. Wanted: A beautiful, reasonably priced swimsuit designed for a Mama whose girls have lost their buoyancy and happens to like more than long walks on the beach. I don’t need to be able to do high intensity cardio in my suit, but I would love a nice supportive companion who loves me back. My...

7 Charming Sisters

Guys, we love good people with big hearts. Enter 7 Charming Sisters. These fantastic women are on a mission. Not only do they create beautiful jewelry they are also committed to helping individuals with disabilities find jobs. Many of their handmade pieces are created by those with intellectual disabilities who then earn commission. Cool. They have a huge selection of gorgeous pieces including rings, necklaces, earrings and more. Not sure what style to purchase? Take their “Sister Quiz” to find out! (All-American Girl for me.) Their pieces are very affordable, too, so you won’t break the bank (we love that)...

RompHims: Fashion Frenzy or Faux Pas?

In: Fashion, Style

Sundresses, tank tops, and swimsuits. . . oh those summer fashion staples that make both men and women swoon. And then we have the cringe-worthy: speedos, Daisy Dukes and, the most recent, dare I say trend, the RompHim.  No, I’m not talking about bedroom lingerie. The RompHim is the twin brother to the well-known women’s romper, the adult version of a baby’s onesie, but more functional with pockets, zippers, end even an adjustable waist. Back up for a second and re-read that last paragraph. Yes, I said twin brother. The RompHim is designed for men who crave a more fashionable and comfortable...

Why I Support The Shop Small Movement

Why I Support The Shop Small Movement www.herviewfromhome.com

So often I am asked where I get my little’s clothes. I usually rattle off the name of the shop, agree with the compliment, and carry on about my day. What I rarely am able to get into, especially with strangers in passing, is why he is dressed so dapper. Of course as his mother I feel my child would look adorable wearing a holey tee, but there is a message behind the threads that I promise from this day forward to mention with every compliment. Even if it is just a sentence. We’re not rich, I’m certainly not a...

What’s The Deal With Capsule Wardrobes?

What's The Deal With Capsule Wardrobes? www.herviewfromhome.com

The “simple living” movement is a force to be reckoned with, not just among millennial’s (though I believe we’re a huge driving force) but among people of all ages. In an age of excess and extreme accessibility, many people are pushing back against the clutter and “stuff-lust” promoted by our society. The goal of simple (or slow) living is to combat it.  People “live simply” in many different ways, but they all aim at owning less, focusing on being present in the moment, and being intentional with their purchases. It’s much more than a love of minimalist design or white-washed...

Secure the Hair Clip in 4 Easy Steps

Secure the Hair Clip in 4 Easy Steps www.herviewfromhome.com

Six months ago I chopped off my hair. I went for that chin-length, a-symmetrical bob that made my bangs on the left side of my face the longest part of my hair. It was the kind of hair style that made me feel different from everyone else and I loved it. But here’s the deal, now my hair is growing into the “long bob” category and I am indecisive as to whether I should trim it or let it grow out a bit longer. My hair is not quite a mullet, yet not exactly a long bob. It’s currently in...

Help Your Guy Overhaul His Style www.herviewfromhome.com

One thing I always hear from my girlfriends is about how wonderful their guy is; he buys them flowers, cooks them dinner, and opens the door. He’s perfect in every way, except for one teeny tiny thing they wish they could change—his style. Whether it’s the schlumpy college sweatshirt he can’t seem to part with, the scuffed vans that should have been thrown away a year ago, or ripped jeans that Kurt Cobain would have rocked, his overall style is do for an upgrade. If you and your special fella fall into this category and you’re looking for a way...

  Embellish the Season with Paper – In Love, Am Loved Studios by Anna Malie Design I love paper. It is a such a versatile material – one we simply cannot live without.
