Throwback Thursday…..Marcia…Marcia….Marcia…

Gals- Everyone knows that I LOVE The Brady Bunch ;0. I’ve even gotten our KIDS to love it so much so that they STILL watch it in the mini van to this day – ha! Do you remember the episode where Marcia does a makeover on her friend, Molly Weber? LOL. Turns out the makeover […]

Date night – FINALLY!

Gals- With everything opening up, we can all FINALLY go on a DATE!!! It’s been way too long. Thought you might like some fun ideas for your Saturday night out :). Super cute stuff out there that will transition nicely to Spring. Trust the Mother….you’ll be glad you did!xoxoxo PS – Including a dress that […]

Throwback Thursday…..The Rugby….oh yeah….

Gals. Not to overdo it with Princess Diana posts, but she really wore the ‘80’s trends so well, didn’t she? How about this rugby shirt (her’s is a sweater) with white jeans? LOVE IT. I had a rugby in every color of the rainbow back in the 80’s. They had those rubber buttons…..ha! Today, designers […]

Tory Burch “Private” Sale….

Gals- Is Tory Burch’s “Private Sale” really “private” if we are all getting the same email?? Who knows, but if we are all seeing it, then you better hurry up and get some of these bargains! Happy Saturday! Trust the Mother….you’ll be glad you did!! xoxo Perfect Packing! White Dress; Bracelet; Fringe Purse; World’s Best […]

Bathing Suit Shopping……

Gals- I don’t know about you, but for me, bathing suit shopping is about the WORST. The lighting is always terrible and you never have quite enough of a tan going on, so you’re just not…..your best. At least, that’s how I feel every time I try on bathing suits. Yesterday, I went to the […]

ME + EM…….and a few fun finds….

Gals. I love stumbling upon a brand that’s new….to me anyway. This site, ME + EM has so many great staples, but also a ton of fun pieces you could wear right into Spring. Check out the BEST invention of a cuff that goes under your sleeve. Why the HECK didn’t I think of that??? […]

Throwback Thursday….Simpler Days……

Gals. I wonder what it would have been like to live in the “olden” days….it seems so much simpler. People must have really ENJOYED life because they didn’t have a phone or a computer shoved in their face….sigh. Anyhoo, I saw this photo and it made me think about what a great gift a pair […]

A little more Spring Break…..

Gals. Lucky me. Before we head off to our 24th consecutive spring break on Boca Grande, I get to go to…….the Star Wars theme park at Disney World. Yep! You got that right, I’m headed to Disney. I can’t believe it. Actually, I may let the others go while I sit by the pool at […]

Throwback Thursday…..The Silver Platters…you know you loved them…..

Gals. I know, I know……I love The Brady Bunch. One of my FAV episodes is when The Silver Platters hit the stage. Their outfits (each one a bit different) were SOOO cool to me way back when. In fact, I still kinda like ‘em. Lucky for all of us, designers are offering similar looks that […]

Acid Wash Jeans……What?? YES

Gals. Acid wash jeans and a great T-shirt. Did you ever imagine? In the 80’s, we were ALL in the acid wash, remember? Hard to believe you can find new versions of it today, but I really did. The slouch pair is by Mother. I sincerely love them because they’re loose and slouchy and I […]
