Black Friday 2023 Sale Picks: Part I

HI GUYS. Happy Thanksgiving!

Woo-ee, am I happy that it’s Thursday. My in-laws took the girls to the lake house for a couple days, and I have to admit that I was a little jealous, haha. Mitch and I used the opportunity to clean the house, catch up on all things Kelly in the City (because we all know I’m perpetually behind 😅), and work on the mudroom. Updates to come!

The entire internet has been on sale for weeks already, but I’m making it official by sharing part one of my favorite Black Friday sale picks! Serena & Lily, Nordstrom, Walmart, J.Crew Factory, and Amazon all have some incredible deals—and stay tuned for more from J.Crew, Madewell, and others.

Fair Isle Sweater / Leather Leggings / Girls’ White Dresses / Girls’ Plaid Dresses / Girls’ Mary Janes / Girls’ Fleeces / Star Sneakers / Stripe Sweater

Oh, hello there!

This year we somehow got our acts together and decorated the house for the holidays before Thanksgiving—and before the temperatures dropped in Chicago.

We put it off nearly every year and it always turns out to be torturous, haha. But this was different. We wore fuzzy sweaters and dresses, leather leggings and cozy fleece—all products under $26 on Walmart!—and it was FUN!

A Family-Friendly Guide to Saugatuck, MI

Visiting Saugatuck, Michigan has been on our travel list for years. And this past weekend, we finally made it there! A short 2.5-hour drive from Chicago, Saugatuck is nestled against a couple of other charming towns on the shores of Lake Michigan. Think “Nantucket meets Stars Hollow.” And while it’s obviously enjoyed by visitors in the summer months, fall is absolutely enchanting there.

Saugatuck and Douglas (its sister town) invited our family—along with the Loftus and Khan-Holland crews—up for a couple of nights, and we can’t thank them enough for having us. (And getting the gang together during the fall! It’s normally such a hectic time for everyone but miraculously, this particular weekend worked for everyone. 🤯👏🏻😆) It definitely goes down as one of the best trips we’ve ever taken!

We were blown away by Saugatuck. The town is as family-friendly as it gets, and I can’t recommend it enough! So here’s a little history about the area along with where to stay, where to eat and drink, and what to do while there:
