T.J. Maxx/Marshall's Gift Card Giveaway!



**UPDATE: This giveaway has ended. Thank you to all who entered.**




Does your spring wardrobe need a little sprucing up? Why not head to T.J Maxx or Marshall's. They have all the latest styles for a fraction of what you'd pay at a department store. Here are some other interesting facts that you might not know:


  • Their buyers travel 40+ weeks per year to negotiate with more than 12,000 vendors in over 60 countries (vs. department stores who buy seasonally), giving them more opportunities to score great deals.
  • There is tremendous buying power behind their two national chains. T.J. Maxx has over 900 stores in the US. Marshalls has over 820 stores in the US and Puerto Rico.
  • T.J. Maxx and Marshalls’ nationwide distribution system allows for faster processing of goods to stores. Therefore, buyers can purchase merchandise up until the last minute of any given season – not only allowing them to respond to trends much more quickly than other retailers (who buy several seasons in advance), but also allowing them to “swoop in” and negotiate a better deal by waiting until a vendor is highly motivated to sell.
I bought this jacket at T.J. Maxx about a month ago. It's faux leather and I paid $29.99 for it. I've worn it several times and it's paid for itself in compliments.



I'm pretty sure this blue bathing suit cover-up was made for me.

And the shoes....don't even get me started on the shoes. Have you been to Marshall's lately? Their shoe department looks like it belongs in a department store. They have the top name brands at half the price. Everything is organized, easy to find and they have a HUGE selection.

Would you like to win a $25 gift card for T.J. Maxx/Marshall's?

To enter simply leave your first name, last initial and email address.

Giveaway ends at 9:00 PM EST, Wednesday, April 27.

Getting Outside


Today was the first day of spring. Well, actually it was at 7:21 PM this evening. It was a beautiful, sunny, chilly day. I'm so excited to get outside. I'm just done being cooped up in the house. I crave fresh air.
Today I went to Weir River Farm.



They have llamas, sheep, horses, cows and many more animals. I got up close and personal with the cows and horses.


They have great walking trails.



I just love the wide open spaces.
If you look very closely, you can even see the Boston skyline.

Weir River Farm's walking trails are open year round. It's a great place to visit.
