On my recent trip to Indiana to visit my parents I rediscovered some oldies but goodies that I had nearly forgotten even existed.
As I sat lounging on my parents couch enjoying the fact that Mimi and Papa had taken over full baby duty for me, the door bell rang. No joke, on the other side of the screen I came face to face with the Avon lady. She was dropping off my Mom’s recent order and the newest weekly Avon brochure. As I found myself with some extra time on my hands, I perused the catalog only to be completely floored by the product line. Inside I found old favorites from childhood like Dew Kiss moisturizing lip balm, still only 99 cents, and new products like Anew Clinical Advanced Wrinkle Corrector, $26.99, which earned itself a spot on Allure magazine’s Best of Beauty top 50 products listing.

It’s time again for our annual trek to Indiana to visit Mimi and Papa. This year will be a bit different for a few reasons. For starters, I will flying solo with a 2-year-old. To add to this excitement I am of course pregnant and still every bit as queasy as I was oh, 10 weeks ago even though the books say this should have long passed. And finally, my son will, for the first time, not be in my lap but in his own seat which means I will be lugging a car seat through the airport, through our Dulles connection and onto the plane. I am already extremely exhausted just thinking about it.
In our house Dada rules. When we hear the garage door open at night a scream of "Daddio’s home!"can be heard several doors down while my son runs to the door and patiently waits at the top of the stairs for my husband. Dada can do no wrong in my son’s eyes. So to honor this man worthy of all this adoration I have found him a few Father’s Day gifts fitting for just such a superhero.
Two wonderful things happen when my parents come to visit from Indiana: my mom is always up for shopping and my dad, God love him, is always up for entertaining my son while we shop.
So taking full advantage of this dynamic duo during their last visit, we headed to the North Charleston Tanger Outlet Mall. As we headed up I-526 my mom asked me if I thought I saved any money at the outlets. I have to be honest, a lot of you have asked me this, so I am devoting this article to answering just that question, "Do you really save money shopping at the outlet malls?"
