Monday Must Have
I must admit, before I had a child I NEVER understood the power of OxiClean. This spray was sent straight from Heaven. I recommend you invest in a few bottles - you will be addicted.

Hello, I'm Frumpy
So last week someone kindly asked me: "Are you off to an aerobics class?".
Huh?
It was 8:30 at night.
I had grocery bags in my hands.
Let me start out by saying I am not a slob. Sure, I might look like a hot mess, but I have a baby - and that gives me the "get out of fashion free" card.
But with a desire to change and a budget of ZILCHO (come on, I'm a stay at home mom!), I set off to search the vast land of Google for stay at home mom styles.
First up: Style Bakery
Style Bakery offers to give you: "A daily "uniform" that is stylish, comfortable, quick to throw on and washable will make it easy to get dressed each day and prepare you for whatever is in store."
You sure about that? Because I'm pretty what's "in store" for my child is strangling me with all those lovely necklaces, then eating the beads - resulting in a surprise trip to the emergency room! And seriously, J. Crew? I can hardly afford one of their socks, let alone a whole pair.
Mmm k, thanks anyways.
Next on the list:
Lastly: Pleated Poppy
Thank you for a site I can actually do something with. Layers, basics and flats - AMEN! The outfit below is super cute, just nix the purse and grab the diaper bag and I am out the door! Plus, I already have the cheetah flats - rock on!
Now, let me start by saying that some of these moms who do the whole "What I Wore Wednesday" are just overachievers. For example:
Enough already, I could go on all day. But seriously ladies, how are these styles practical?
Lastly, I feel like Wardrobe 911 was made for me. Never mind that the article was posted in 2007, the ideas are basic, affordable and chances are you already have most of the pieces.

Washable, no fuss, cheap, layers, and not your typical sweats and a t-shirt. Nuff said.
