You’d think one of these days I could get a decent picture — perhaps one not in a Target family bathroom — for this post. Grab an employee and ask if he could get a picture of me with a mannequin or sitting on a Nate Berkus stool or something but alas, today is not that day. Here we are. Let us go forth and talk about how Target’s trying to steal all our monies.
Throwback rack! Love those fun old school running shorts (4 colors). They remind me of Soffe shorts. Does anyone remember Soffe shorts? Wore them constantly in middle school/early high school–always rolled down to see the white waist. I love all the t-shirts in this section too. Although, is it just me, but I hate wearing these sorts of shirts and getting eye rolls from the older crowd. True story: I was on the beach last summer in a Pink Floyd shirt and an older family member was like, “Heh. Were you even old enough to listen to them?” And I wanted to be like, “Heh. Surprised your eyes are working well enough to read that.” So, be ready with your defenses if you wear a Woodstock shirt and you’re only 25. And to the ones ready to say something, get off your high horse and go drink your Miralax. 
Cute basket purses. Is that what we call these? Basket bags? Market totes? What if you never take it to the market? Ah, I found the answer–straw tote. That makes more sense. If you find yourself in need of a straw tote, get on over to Target.
I loved these shorts. Saw them and was like, “You done good, Target.” They reminded me a little of Lemlem which I love but come with a hefty price tag (really cool company, however and worth checking out for sustainable goods made in Ethiopia). I bought the pair on the far right. Gonna throw ’em on all summer long.
Do you do cute pajamas? I think there’s two pretty solid and opposite camps – those who do cute pjs and those who do not. I’m in the do not. At least I am since nursing 4+ years. I just feel like I need a little more support up top for what has been left over (almost nothing). And these pretty loose tops just don’t give me the support I’m after. It doesn’t have to make sense. Anyway, if you like cute pajamas, go to Target.
How awesome are these men’s bathing suits? I love them.
This shape and learn play doh set looked so cool. I actually strongly considered it and then decided to wait for a birthday or something. Also, who else has one-time use Play doh? Just the Hunts? (That was an exaggeration but, seriously, my boys have no respect for play-doh-putting-away.) 
I just watched Snowden and now I’m pretty sure we can change the name of all of these devices to BIG BROTHER.
These candles are the perfect scent to wax ratio. You know how sometimes they are SO overly scented?! I have some like that that I simply don’t light anymore because it’s like spraying perfume all over the house. These are subtle. Buy them without fear.
Do we really need to multi task our mask-wearing to both help our skin and actually look like an animal while we wait? Was there a market for this and I just wasn’t aware?
Until next time, Target…
oh my gosh- soffe shorts!! those were the must have (in every color!) when i went to cheerleading camp. yes, i know, cheerleading camp! those stripe shorts are so good!

I’ve always wanted to visit a Target and shop there. The amount of vloggers and bloggers from the US who shop till they drop in the stores. Wish there was a Target branch here in Hong Kong!

zero play doh respect here, either. none.
Am I the only one who thinks ‘I want to know what you *did* buy at Target’? 🙂
not terribly exciting! those shorts – above – and then socks… a lipstick… and a few odds and ends for the home (not exciting odds and ends!).
I had you pegged for a *make my own play dough* kinda gal. First make some naturally colored water by simmering some beets or berries or cherries for 30 minutes. Put two cups of colored water, two cups of white flour, one cup of salt, and two tablespoons each of vegetable oil and cream of tartar into a small pot. Stir to mix and then keep stirring over medium heat until it pulls away at the sides. Remove to a cutting board and knead a few times until cool enough for play. Store in a zip-lock bag or a quart paint can sold at any hardware store. Use your own cookie cutters, rolling pins, garlic press (noodles!) and imagination for hours of quiet play!
I have! But… more often than not, buy it!
Do you have any dresses or formal go-to’s for nursing (& attending a wedding)? I’m hardcore searching.
wrap dress! I’d actually search wrap dress on ASOS and I’m sure you’ll find plenty. Here! I did it for you 🙂 http://us.asos.com/search/wrap-dress?q=wrap+dress

I never comment. Ever. But I need to tell you that I appreciate how salty you were in this post. Was it just me who noticed? I fully appreciate the intense pressure to please the masses in blog/insta-commerce, but blogs have become watered-down versions of what were once refreshing glimpses into the hearts and minds of people brave enough to share. Keep being brave 🙂 Your readers will fight off the haters.
LOL, was it the Miralax that sealed this comment for ya?! I’m probably much saltier in real life. Come over and we’ll have a glass of wine together. In the meantime I’ll let it peek through here every now and then 🙂
I love the straw totes. But pretty sure they will seem old and take up way too much space in about one year. I want to have cute pajamas, but it’s so dang hard to find a cheap pair these days with just a normal tank top! I like to have a tiny tiny bit of support (like not just completely loose). Or else it will be old t-shirts every night.
Ha ha… I still have 2 pairs of Soffe shorts!! (I”m 32… lol) And of course, I always wear them with the waistband rolled!
I hear you on the play-doh situation! My kids are always so excited to get new play-doh but it usually lasts like 2 or 3 uses before it’s all dried out and crusty. I guess I should just consider it a disposable product!
OMG I LOVED SOFFEE SHORTS! Was that too enthusiastic? Seriously they were the best. I tried to buy them again like 8 years ago when my elastic snapped and couldn’t find them anywhere. Such memories!
We buy the party bags of play-doh, with 24 mini packs. I stash them in every purse and don’t mind when they get instantly mixed or occasionally dried out. It’s probably not the best value way to purchase, but has worked well with my two-year old.
Post nursing?! Haha that’s all I took from this post I guess. My 20 month old still nurses, sometimes often and I’m hoping for now he stays that way. I know we will reach a point where we will both be ready for it to end, as hard as it is to think about.
i changed the wordage a bit because anders is definitely not ready to be post nursing. soon, i think?
oh this is such a good one!!! yes to the soffe shorts! i rolled those suckers up PAST the white band! oh my! haha! and i have to say i have two pink floyd shirts, because dark side of the moon has gotten me through life for years, haha. and i am also not in the cute jammies phase of life, but one day!!!! oh oh amen to the big brother listeners. i cannot believe those suckers!
