Forgot to mention that we are parents of a rising 4th grader (boy) who was introduced early on to moving– we PCS’d when he was 11 days old!!!

Just wanted so say hey to any other military families out there!

I’m Kath, and my hubby is career Air Force. He’s been in for 18.5 years, and we’re getting ready to do our every 3 year move (again!)

I actually can’t wait for this move, as we’re going back to our previous duty station again– Robins, AFB, GA. Right now we’re at Tyndall, AFB, FL–I’m ready to get out Spring Break Central (Panama City, FL)

Anyway, hope to see more members soon!

I just wanted to say that I bought a pair of shoes from gojane.com. You had it on your website not long ago. AND……..am totally impressed. I usually buy stuff from bluefly and revolve and then I am broke for MONTHS but these shoes were $21.99!!! AND they were so cheap that I didn’t have to pay customs(I live in Canada) so the $10 shipping was no big deal. The shoes were good quality (for $21.99) and look JUST like the picture. not a cheap ass version of. It is a great site. Oh…one tip – order a 1/2 size up from what you think you are.

I would love to hear what everyone plans on doing while the kids are home for the Summer.

It’s taken a while, but I’ve fallen deeply in love with Lauren Conrad’s high-waisted poof skirts. They’re chic, simple & perfect for summer, but with this look you MUST tuck your shirt in … or (due to the poof & pleats) you create a ‘reverse-spanx‘ affect & ADD10lbs to your hips:

And this is where my trouble starts because I’m NOT a ‘tucker‘ — the top always bags too much (don’t get me started on bodysuits), & within minutes the bottom-of-the-top starts riding up & bunching under the waistband which is annoying, not to mention sweaty in the summer.
So to get the look I love,I found the Abbey Two Tone Ballet Dress which looks like the skirt with a tank-top tucked in, but offers the sleek fit & feel of one piece … & for $47 at LuLu’s it’s a huge markdown from the skirt alone:

And if you really want to snag LC’s skirt, keep your eyes peeled for the debut of her Fall line atShop Lauren Conrad.
