August Sponsors and DISCOUNTS!

i feel like i say this every month, but i seriously canNOT believe it's the end of august. how has another month come and gone already?! with the birth of liza (six weeks ago, what?!) and the madness of getting her home, settling in, and just adjusting to life with three, i didn't get around to sharing all the sponsors at the beginning of this month. so please forgive me for posting them at the end - but hopefully the wait was worth it! :) so in honor of "back to school" here are a few of my favorite back to school picks from some of my favorite shops!

goat & lulu.
first off, the ever fabulous goat and lulu. y'all. i can't even tell you how much i love the new items amanda is coming up with. they are to.die.for. my paypal account (and my husband) are going to hate me. y'all know she made the girls' outfits for the newborn photo session. i'm DYING to show them, but i'm waiting until all our birth announcements have been sent out since they're wearing them in the pictures. but trust me, serious cuteness.

we have a precious skirt that amanda made for laney's second birthday - only big sister hijacked it and has claimed it as her own - ha! amanda so kindly whipped up a goat & lulu shirt for libs to wear that coordinates with "her" skirt. how perfect is this apple of my eye shirt for back to school?! we love it! not to mention, there are two other little "L" sisters that will have their turn soon enough with this fun shirt. (see jeffrey?! i CAN be frugal!) ;-)

here are a few of my other current favorites in the goat & lulu shop....you know i LOVE a coordinating sister set! :)

polkadot posies.
as you can see from the pictures above, my girl(s) love the big bows! polkadot posies is THE place to buy them! ALL bows are $4 and under. that's right, ALL bows $4 and under. in "bow world" that's practically unheard of! 
we're stocked up on all the necessities (solid color, big bows) but now we're adding to our collection of back to school and UGA bows! gotta have the red and black! :)
check out polkadot posies for every bow, headband, flower, and clippie you could ever imagine. you won't regret it! 

minted.
i just ordered our birth announcements from minted and i am in LOVE with them! i can't wait to share them with y'all! as soon as they're all mailed out, i'll post pictures. they are so sweet. since i can't share our birth announcements just yet, i thought i would share some of my favorite Back to School products offered by minted. when i was teaching (and still to this day) i LOVED personalized paper products. stationery, notebooks, planners, notecards, etc. i loved it all! most of these things would be adorable for yourself, but even cuter as a teacher gift!

zulily.

it's no secret that i LOVE to shop for my girls. but now that i have three(!) i have to look out for some good deals. zulily.com has been hitting it out of the park lately. their sales have been great, the selection has been awesome, and dare i say, the shipping times have GREATLY improved! 

if you haven't joined zulily.com, you need to. they offer great children's clothing, but also some fun stuff for moms and the home too. (hello, spanx that were featured this week!) 

frecklebox.

next up is the fabulous frecklebox. i love this company and their products. we own many of them and will definitely continue to order more in the future. they are durable, well made, and excellently priced!
