OK, OK, OK

I said I wasn't going to post until February, but I found a couple of things that couldn't wait!

First, J.Crew is giving an additional 30% off their final sale prices! Just remember, every sale is final - no exchanges, no returns. I hate it when they do that. It's only for 2 days and ends January 31st at 9:59 EST. Kind of a weird time to end a sale!


Second, I found this article... does it sound like your marriage? If so, there are 43 date-night ideas to follow.

... dating for long-term couples comes with its own new his-and-her matching set of pressures, especially when kids are in the picture. You no longer have the time to make sure you have five minutes together without interruption, let alone set aside an entire evening to dote on each other. So when the stars are finally aligned — you've cleared your calendars, you've found someone not featured on America's Most Wanted to look after the kids — you want the evening to be perfect, which practically begs for a Murphy's law moment.

This is an excerpt from "REDBOOK's new book, 500 Great Dates, has tons of fun plans for you and your guy — no matter how much (or how little) time, money, or babysitter access you have!"

Valentine's Day is really just around the corner. Start thinking!

Auto Reply: Out of the Office

Many Europeans take the whole month of August off for vacation. Though I'm not European and I'm not going anywhere exotic for a holiday, I am taking a mini-mini-vacation from a few duties... my blog being one of them.

I have a million and one things going on and the blog, while I love, love, love writing it, it does take its fair share of time! So, for the month of January, I will be absent from the blog-world.

We will be back in February with more amazing and fabulous finds... just wait!!!
