Shopping AJWright on a $100 Budget and $50 Gift Card Giveaway

"REAL DEALS, FRESH SELECTION, GREAT BRANDS, EVERY DAY. AJWright offers brand name apparel and footwear for the entire family, as well as home essentials and giftware, all up to 70% off discount and chain store prices every day. AJWright is a division of The TJX Companies, Inc., the world's leading off-price retailer of apparel and home fashions. Visit www.tjx.com for more information."

A brand new AJWright store opened in Milwaukee this May. The new store features a more functional store layout and brighter colors. As you can see in the image above, the store is set up like a track to make it easier to navigate, use a shopping cart and ultimately find what you're looking for.

I have never shopped at AJWright before, so I didn't really know what to expect when I walked in the store. I was surprised to see it nicely organized with easy to shop racks. Some things were even displayed as they would be in a regular clothing store instead of all spread out on racks that you have to pick through.

AJWright carries some great designer clothes at such affordable prices. I really couldn't believe some of them! They have some of the hottest summer styles and the prices are just insane! I'm telling you, if I could save this much every time, I could shop way more often than I do! Just wait til you see what i got when I went!

AJWright sent me a gift card to maximize a $100 shopping budget. I think I did pretty darn good at maximizing that money!


Just look at all that stuff I got for under $100! I was actually under by like $15 or something like that because I miscalculated when I was adding it all up. I got 3 shirts for me, a pair of shorts for each of the boys, a pair of jeans for the Man, a pair of shoes for Big Bro, 2 packages of Hanes socks, a set of 6 really nice wash clothes and 3 pairs of panties. Did I do good, or what? I'd say I definitely maximized those savings and did great on a $100 budget! I'll definitely be hitting up AJWright for back to school shopping this year!

Preview of the New Karen Neuburger Pajama Line

"Headquartered just north of San Francisco in idyllic Marin County, California, the KN Karen Neuburger® brand through its comfort-focused clothing design, innovative fabrics and cozy lifestyle products that resonate with today's families and their desire to slow down and rediscover the simple joys in life."

I did a review for Karen Neuburger socks back in spring during the Leap into Spring event. I tried those socks and absolutely fell in love with them! They are my favorite and most comfortable socks that I own. I also went to a review event for their new line and was able to sample a pair of their pajamas as well as another pair of socks {swoon}!

Recently, I was sent another pair for review. They are so soft and comfortable. The fabric feels so luxurious. I just adore them.

This cute little nightgown above is part of the new Karen Neuburger line which will be coming out this fall.

“We are thrilled to introduce a collection that truly caters to women of all ages,” says Jenna Lowe, Director of Marketing and PR for Russell Newman Brands. “KN Karen Neuburger stands for quality and comfort that never come at the cost of style, and the KN Collection only reinforces that sentiment. We took a close look at what’s on trend in the fashion world and used those elements in each and every nightshirt and pajama set. Our hope is that younger women will make this their go-to brand for luxury loungewear.”

Now I love sleepwear that is stylish and sexy, yet totally comfortable! It features a 60/40 cotton blend and is figure flattering and body conscious. That's a definite bonus for me since I'm not always happy with my body!

Step into Summer - YouFloral mauve-o-lous! Bouquet Review

Welcome to our Step into Summer event! Jennifer and I have some wonderful things lined up for you to help you get ready for summer. Make sure you visit Jennifer at Eighty MPH Mom daily to see what she has in store for you too. Many days we will be reviewing and giving away the same item on both blogs - that is two chances for you to win!


Of course flowers are an awesome gift. What girl doesn't like to receive flowers? I sure can't think of any! It's not always the flowers that get us though. It's the thought behind the flowers. Well, YouFloral has even more "thought" behind their flowers because they create these beautiful, precious and sentimental vases with their bouquets that you can treasure long after those flowers are dead.

I am a sentimental sap at heart. It's just something I was born with I guess, and so many things in life really do have special meaning to me. So you can imagine my excitement when YouFloral agreed to be part of the Step into Summer event. I was ecstatic!


I am really into quotes and sayings and there are a few that I just really love. You never know when it's going to be the end for any relationship... through death, moving or whatever the reason may be. Nothing really does last forever. So this saying I got on my vase "Treasure the moments, for each one is a gift is kind of something I try to live by. Each and every moment of our lives truly is a gift. But it's also something that so many people take for granted every single day. I am guilty of this too at times, but I try not to be.

Now the image in that vase is my kids in the lake a few years ago while we were camping. You can just see how much fun they're having trampling through the water. That moment, at that lake, truly was a gift. Going through that album, I was almost in tears because it brought back so many memories. I will have to share that album with you all one of these days. it's precious!

Anyway, I think the background and the picture go hand in hand. It was so easy to create the vase. It's a simple step by step process. There are different themes to choose from like birthday, congratulations and many more. I chose "Inspirational" and came up with the page to the right.

Then you click on the background you like and choose from 3 options; Photo and Message, Message Only and Photo Only. The you simply upload your photo and/or choose your message, then pick your flowers. It really is an easy and fun process! I chose the mauve-o-lous! bouquet and this is what it looked like in the end.


Now this photo does not do these flowers justice one bit. The lilies were all closed when they arrived, so it makes it look bare. Within a day or two they were opened up and the bouquet was just gorgeous. And talk about long lasting... these flowers lasted for about 2 weeks! I couldn't believe it! I was so amazed and oh so happy because I got to show off that gorgeous bouquet and vase to everyone that stopped by!

This photo on the left is pretty much what the bouquet looked like after the rest of the flowers bloomed. It was just absolutely breathtaking and I couldn't help but smile every time I walked past it and looked at that vase! I am absolutely smitten with it. I will definitely use it again.... if the Man ever buys me some flowers! He thinks the ones in my garden count.. {shakes head} clueless!

Buy It!

You can buy the mauve-o-lous! bouquet for $39.99 and add a regular glass vase for $9.99 or a vase expression for $14.99. I seriously recommend the vase expression because it adds a whole new experience and touch to the gift. It gives them something to hang on to and treasure forever! That's really what makes YouFloral unique from other floral companies. It's a truly personal experience!

TruKid Sunny Days SPF 30+ Natural Sunscreen Review & Giveaway

“Consumers are buzzing about the best products to use for their child’s skin, and with a new study released by the Environmental Working Group about the potential dangers of sunscreen and Vitamin A, many people are left feeling confused about what products to use,” says Jennifer Adams Bunkers, CEO of TruKid. “We have always offered skincare and sunscreen products that are certified organic, SLS phathalate, 1-4 dioxane, BPA and paraben free, offering excellent UVA/UVB protection SPF. We are thrilled to now announce that our NEW TruKid Sunny Days SPF 30+ Lotion does NOT contain Vitamin A. We want parents to know that TruKid makes safe products that families can feel good about.”

My kids spend a lot of time in the sun, so sunscreen is important to us. I would much rather use one that I know I can trust rather than just grab any old tube on the store shelf. That's why I was excited for my family to try TruKid Sunny Days SPF 30+ Natural Sunscreen. I knew that I would be able to feel good letting them use this product.

We've been using TruKid Sunny Days SPF 30+ Natural Sunscreen for a few weeks now and it works great. It's easy to apply and smells decent. Of course it gave them good protection from the sun too.

TruKid also carries body wash, shampoo and other products for kids. we received a couple sample sizes of conditioner and body wash. The TruKid Bubbly Body Wash is clear and has a fun scent for the kids. It bubbles up too, which they just think is the coolest!
