Melrose Place, Mermaids and More

We watched this show every week. Loved it. Are you going to watch the new "Melrose Place"? (Sidney was our favorite and she's back! We did love to hate Kimberly but now she is on Desperate Housewives.) My all time favorite was "Homefront", though. Did anyone else love it as much as I did? It was a World War II soap opera type show. (My sweet husband liked it, too, so it wasn't too sappy- lol!) Anyone?


I received the sweetest package from my dear friend, Jill, the other day! Be still my heart! A gorgeous book on charm bracelets! Such eye candy and extremely inspiring. Thank you so much, Jill! :)

I cannot get over her lovely wrapping... Just beautiful...

Yes, I know it is September and I CANNOT wait for Fall, but who could say No! to these little mermaids??! Not me!:) Gotta love Gymboree.

This is the matching denim skort! The price was definitely right and did you know that Gymboree has a new Rewards Club? Sign up is FREE and you earn points for free merchandise...

The girls both got a pair of these cozy fellas tonight! You can find them at Stride Rite (up to size 5- for younger girlies) and JC Penney (starting at a size 6- for older girls). I got some for myself last year at TJ Maxx and they were soooo cozy. Wonder if they will have them again this year... (Note- If you get some be sure to spray them with Scotchguard before you wear them.)

I wanted to thank you so much for your sweet comments on my blog. You all are so dear to me- more than you could ever know.

  2. Love the owls!!
    My Anna used to have some pink boots like those--she wore them with everything, and I do mean everything! The mermaids are too cute.
    How sweet of Jill to send you such a terrific book!

  3. Love your new look...so cute! I was never a "Melrose Place" fan...not sure why. One new show I'm going to LOVE is "Glee". Did you happen to catch it last night?

    I can hardly wait for fall's arrival, either! So ready for those cooler temps to start moving in!

  4. I watched Melrose Place, but likes 90210 better. I cannot bring myself to watch the new 90210, so I doubt I will watch the new Melrose Place.

  5. Hi Lori,

    Thanks for leaving such a nice comment on my blog. I'm glad to have found yours!

    I'm going to have to stop in at JC Penney to find a pair of those boots for my 7 year old! So cute and perfect for cold Minnesota winters.

  6. I never missed Melrose Place and I do plan on taking a peek at the new one. I never saw Homefront.

    That looks like a fabulous book...enjoy it!

    Oh we used to LOVE Gymboree and had tons of it. I will be getting rid of the Fall Gymboree in a big consignment sale in October. Sadly, Lexi won't wear it anymore...boohoo. Cute boots!

    Hope you have a fabulous day!♥

  10. Hi Lori
    I love the charm bracelet book your friend sent you. It looks full of inspiration and great ideas. The cozy boots look comfy. We need those here today, it's really cold and our heating just came on! I do not recall Melrose Place but we did have 90210 over here years ago. Guess what? Harpers Island starts on Sunday evening. Can't wait!

  14. I'm sorry to say I have never seen Melrose Place but I do like your mermaids!
    I'm getting in the mood for Fall since your Boo blocks arrived! They are adorable and I love the glitter on them! I was so excited to open them today! You are a crafty lady! Thanks!

  15. You know, when I was in the thick of things raising the kiddos, it seems like I missed out on a whole decade of stuff. I guess I was in La-La land keeping up with my Fantastic Four. : )

  17. We used to watch Melrose and 90210 when my husband and I first started dating, lol.. I remember Homefront. I like that show too, but it didn't stay on for very long, did it? I don't think I'll be watching the new Melrose though, I don't watch as much TV anymore as I used to!

    What wonderful gifts! I am also looking forward to fall!

  20. Love the Mermaids! I missed them. I think Sydney has physically out grown Gymboree.

    I am planning a Mermaid party for her next b-day!
