I love wearing dresses. They’re super comfy, and you can style them for any kind of weather. I’m always looking for new ones wear. If you are, too, you’ll want to check out these must-have dresses that every woman needs in her closet.

How gorgeous is this Long Sleeve Wrap Tie Bodycon Dress?? The tie waist is super flattering, and I love the flare sleeves. This is the perfect little black dress!

This Knitted Bodycon Tie Waist Sweater Pencil Dress has such a unique style. I love how it looks like there is a sweater tied around the waist. This is a must-buy for me because no one I know has a dress like this!

Wrap dresses are really flattering, and they are a staple in my closet. I can always use a new black dress or two, so I definitely need this Meraki Women’s Wrap Dress in my life!

I just love the floral pattern on this Ruffle Sleeve Mini Dress. This is just too cute. Wear it now with boots or booties and in the spring with sandals or flip flops! This is bound to become one of your favorites.

This Button Down Midi Tunic Dress is SO pretty! This would look fabulous on its own with tall boots or worn as a tunic over leggings or skinny jeans. This is another must-buy for me!

Polka dots are classic, and this Boho Polka Dot Sleeveless V Neck Swing Midi Dress is too cute. It has a great midi length and, my favorite feature – pockets! This is one I will wear a LOT year-round. Throw on a jean jacket now and wear it as-is when the weather turns warm!

Amazon’s Top Kids’ Books of 2019

December 26, 2019 by FCL Filed Under: Amazon, Online Shopping

Looking for some new books for your kids to read? I’m always looking for new ones to add to our collection, so I’m excited to see Amazon’s Top Kids’ Books of 2019. These range from picture books for the littles to chapter books for the older kids.

Dear Sweet Pea is the story of a girl learning to navigate life with divorced parents and an ex-best friend. One day, her neighbor leaves for a trip and asks Sweet Pea to forward her the letters for her local advice column. And Sweet Pea happens to recognize the handwriting on one of the envelopes. What she decides to do with that letter sets off a chain of events that will forever change the lives of Sweet Pea DiMarco, her family, and many of the readers of “Miss Flora Mae I?”

If you have a child who doesn’t feel comfortable in her own skin, Sulwe is a must-read. Sulwe has skin the color of midnight. She is darker than everyone in her family. She is darker than anyone in her school. Sulwe just wants to be beautiful and bright, like her mother and sister. Then a magical journey in the night sky opens her eyes and changes everything. In this stunning debut picture book, actress Lupita Nyong’o creates a whimsical and heartwarming story to inspire children to see their own unique beauty.

Explore dance in all of its creativity, humor, and joy when you read How Do You Dance? to your kids. This picture book tells how the best way to dance is exactly how you want to. You can jiggle or wiggle or stomp. You can bop or bounce or go completely nuts. You can dance at the market or the bus stop, with your fingers or your face. You can dance because you’re happy or even because you’re sad.

My daughter LOVES the book Guts. Raina wakes up one night with a terrible upset stomach. Her mom has one, too, so it’s probably just a bug. Raina eventually returns to school, where she’s dealing with the usual highs and lows: friends, not-friends, and classmates who think the school year is just one long gross-out session. It soon becomes clear that Raina’s tummy trouble isn’t going away… and it coincides with her worries about food, school, and changing friendships. This book is a thoughtful, charming, and funny true story about growing up and gathering the courage to face and conquer fears.

Little ones will love the book Truman. After his best friend Sarah leaves for her first day of school, a tortoise named Truman goes on an adventure across the living room and learns to be brave in this thoughtful and heartwarming twist on a first experience story.

The Dog Man books are super popular, so Dog Man: For Whom the Ball Rolls is a must-have. The Supa Buddies have been working hard to help Dog Man overcome his bad habits. But when his obsessions turn to fears, Dog Man finds himself the target of an all-new supervillain! Meanwhile, Petey the Cat has been released from jail and starts a new life with Li’l Petey. But when Petey’s own father arrives, Petey must face his past to understand the difference between being good and doing good.

What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD.

Winter Hacks – Magic Ice Scraper

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

December 26, 2019 by Frugal Coupon Living Writers Filed Under: Amazon, Online Shopping

Normal ice scrapers and snow removers just don’t remove enough snow with each scrape, and you have to either push or pull in order to remove the debris from your car. This innovative Magic Ice Scraper is an ingeniously designed ice and snow remover that’s cone shaped, so you can simply move it in any direction or in circles to remove more snow from your car at a time.

One side of the cone ice scraper is extra wide to cover more area for scraping and snow removal from your car, while the other end has mini spikes for tapping ice on your car windows to easily break it away.
