Wash your hands please!

Now that school is in full swing..let the sickness begin!  Well let’s keep the germs at bay and I find myself saying all the time wash your hands please!  I love a good liquid soap. Bath & Body Works are great, but here are some  brands I just discovered that are pretty sweet. 

I was in a restaurant in Boston and they had Molton Brown in the ladies bathroom – the whole room smelled nice. I also love the Lemon Verbena scenet that Mrs. Meyers makes.

You can also head to your local Target to pick up some too and, speaking of Target, Method, a line that’s available at Target, does the trick too. Many people say to stick to straight soap and water (remember ivory?)

What to Wear?

I think I overdress sometimes. Well, I Iike fashion and since I have been working from a home office for the last 5 years anytime I have an outside meeting, networking event, school meeting, I love to dress up.  If my husband says it’s hideous I know it’s fashionable!  Case in point, I bought a black satin blouse with balloon sleeves and pleated front.  I loved it. As I headed out the door to a networking event he said WHAT are you wearing???

When I met my friend prior to the event she said where did you get that blouse? I have to get it! (she went out and bought the same one the next day)  We of course went shopping prior to the event and wouldn’t you know at least three people complemented me on my shirt!  (each time I got a huge chuckle)
 
So my advice is wear what you like and what you feel comfortable in no matter how fancy or hideous others may think it is! 

For my fashion forward friends here are some cool must have’s for this season:
 
The blouse – jewel tones are in – especially deep rich tones like purple or as the fashionistas say plum, amethest and aubergine.
 
The Shoe – anything patent leather  – check out these ones from Coach or Cole Haan. Or heck – just head to the Marshall shoe department where there are rows and rows to choose from!.
 
The color Cobalt – that bright blue color I just picked up a sweater from my new favorite store Canada based Jacob.
 
The tough trend – Studs. Here is one that is tough for some – studs – but it does make a nice addition to heels, bags and dresses
 
The accessory – Anything belted – a dress, coat, skirt. So wear what  you like and forget about what anyone says!

Get Organized MOM!

As summer is over and the kids are in school now it’s time to get organized!  As one working mom to another I really need to get organized as it’s been months since I blogged!  But I promise the next few entries will be filled with insight, guidance and fun gadgets for moms (whether you are a stay at home working mom or at an office working mom – we all are working hard at everything we do! )

I really am obsessed with notebooks and calendars!  If you are like me you might have a couple or so notebooks to jot things down in. But now with a first grader and pre-schooler I have a TON of school related paperwork that honestly I keep each child’s stuff in a high school musical folder (more on that topic later)  I discovered there are plenty of “mom organizers” out there. What a great concept!  I wish I invented some of these cute and fashionable organizers.

BusyBodyBook’s is more like a GRID so you can plan and track kids activities – fun colors too.
 
This Go mom Home Organizer has 12 Undated Monthly pockets for expense reporting, bills, coupons, etc.

The momAgenda Kitchen Folio is perfect for filling papers from school, sports, and extracurricular activities, class lists menus etc. – adorable.  This site also offers the must-have momAgenda. You may have seen this in all the women’s magazines.  It has a week-at-a-view format with space for mom and up to four children. Comes in 5 stylish colors. 

Of course my favorite site to order all my fun and fashionable items for work is seejanework. Where do I begin here? They have everything – school supplies, filing systems, journals and notebooks even eco-friendly office products.
