we had a VERY rare happening this past weekend.
all the kids were gone except talby.
so we had a mom date!
we went to Goodwill for me to look for a few things quickly and left with SEVERAL pairs of CUTE
bright colored jeans for talby!
it was so fun!
the album covers at goodwill were cracking us up!
there were 8 Barry Manilow records!
we almost bought that Steisand one for my mom.
and Barbara Mandrell?!! did you LOVE the Barbara Mandrell show as much as i did when i was little?
we looked at all the crazy clothes at Justice.
anyone need some itty bitty referee pants?
she took lots of time deciding on the perfect headphones for her iPod.
what is the deal with Beats headphones?
WHY WHY WHY does anyone in the world (especially anyone under 18 years old) need $250 headpohones?
it is insanity.
i refuse.
100%
i think $30 is riduculous also BUT it's $220 better than the others.
america you are REDONK.
it was a lovely girls day.
just wandering around… finding our style…. enjoying each other and time together.
with an iced coffee in my hand.
i love days like that.
Bette@ Somerset Lane Blog - oh look, Kenny Rogers real face! It looks like a fun day! I try to do that with my girls sometimes too!
jo - those album covers are too funny…especially the Gino Vanelli! thnx for sharing. looks like you had a fun girls day out.
tracy fisher - this makes me miss my girls who is away. precious photos. note to self… do more of “this” as i only have 2 more years with her before college. -tracy. ps.. love the albums. i asked for an old 70’s stereo for Christmas and everyone looked at me weird. haha
tonya - those days are the best!!! so glad you and talby got to enjoy one! i LOVED me some barbara mandrell…and the mandrell sisters!!! holy cow, i haven’t thought of them in a long, long time!
Valerie @ Chateau a la mode - When you have multiple kids alone time with them is a must even though it”s so hard. I know they feel so special when you spend tme with them uninterrupted. You are a good mom and Talby was a lucky girl.
Debbie S - We have three sets of Beats in our home…so worth the money and I bet Copacabana would sound AMAZING on them 😉
Sara - You are such a fun mom, and Talby sure looks fun to spend a day with. Great post!
Tami C - Hahaha! I think everyone of those records were also in my parent’s collection. Memories…
Michelle - What a fun day…those are the best 🙂 And those albums…oh man!! Had me laughing!! hehe Btw, those green & turquoise bowls are heavenly…where were those?? I MUST have some!!
Katie - This looks like such a lovely day! I still have these days with my Mum now, and I’m 25! Which means I have the money to treat her too 🙂 xx
Tiffany - I look forward to creating those kinds of memories with Olivia as she gets older. What a fun and special day for Talby!
Lisa - I’m listening to NRP right this minute – an interview with Barry Manilow, and I’m singing along with all the songs and remembering the ones I used to play on the piano. He’ll never go out of style, hahaha! And, yes, I have every one one of those albums pictured. *sigh*
s - I am with you on the headphones…I am a mean mom per my 11 year old..but since I refused to buy Uggs for my daughter I guess I am ok with mean. I am sure the quality is good but I still can’t justify shelling out that much money.
liz - Beats are crazy expensive BUT they are really good! My 15yr old has a pair and I thought too that it was ridiculous for a teenager to own a pair for that price but boy there is a HUGE difference when you listen to them compared to a lower price pair. Not knocking anyone who chooses the lower price pair. To each his own :). Great pics today so colorful.
stephany @ home is what you make it - YES! My sister and I LOVED the Barbara Mandrell show!!
Heidi Jo the Artist - Love days like those! These are great headphones, super cheap–cost wise, and come in a rainbow of colors: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003EM6AOG/ref=oh_details_o01_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Maybe bookmark for your other kiddos, would make great stocking stuffers too. 😉
Jennifer - So much fun — and you have a great Goodwill! I still listen to Barbara Mandrell sometimes, even if it is on iTunes. And ok, Barry, too. What a great way to have a mommy-daughter date. Inspires me to do the same! 🙂
kate - I think the necklaces are at Francesca’s Collections – I recognize them, and that is what the store is called at my mall. Great photos, love the color!
Kori - Barbara Mandrell was my first concert….with my GRANDMA!! I was 9 or 10 and I thought it was so cool! I got a new Jessica McClintock dress for the occasion and some sassy black patent flats to wear with NYLONS!
FUNNY!
midwestmom - Beats. Agree the price is crazy, but if you’ve ever listened to them and compared them, they sound SO much better. I borrow my 15 year olds to mow the yard. they are the only headphones that will block out the super loud mower! I love them and wish I had my own pair 🙂
Jodi - OMG Meg STOP IT! The Barry Gibb/Barbara album I would have died over! Not even kidding, I have an advertisment for it on my watch list on ebay. I am moving to Kansas!!!
Lyn - I have that Barry & Barbara album! Woman in love! Great song!!!!
amanda - my oldest is 7. and a half. i cringe when i think of her growing up. but i look forward to this, too. girly stuff is so much fun!
kate - What a fun day! Talby is adorable!
Kathy - love this! love finding great bargains and GIRL time!
Alicia @ La Famille - Nice! I need a day like that!
DanaD@BoysMyBoys - You hit the nail on the head- America is REDONK! 🙂 Our value system has become sadly skewed.
MaryLea - Sounds like a PERFECT day. Nothing better than mother daughter bonding time!
Tracy - How fun! I love days with just my daughter (she has 3 brothers).
I agree 100% about the beats headphones!! What’s up with that?? The surprising thing is how many people you see wearing them!
Chris - I think I had all those Bary Manilow albums.:)
Linda - love all the beautiful color! and I love you you share your special days with your kids it inspires me.
Heather S. - Totally having one of these days with my 11 year old girl next Thursday! Two girls with some yummy drinks shopping, pedicuring, and playing with makeup! So looking forward to it! What a fun age this is!
Southern Gal - Forgot to add that I loved the Barbara Mandrell Show, but I thought they had the strangest names. Irlene?
Southern Gal - Sounds fabulous! I’m with you on the headphone debacle.
I have two of those albums in my closet: Streisand’s Guilty and Manilow Live! I loved the commercial jingles section of that album.
Shawn - What goodwill is your favorite? Mine is near Maize in Wichita.
Alice H - Where are those earrings and necklaces at? I love getting to spend one-on-one time with my children. It doesn’t happen as much as I would like. I need to fix that!
tasha - fun day!!!
Where did you find those gorgeous necklaces?
