Old Lady! (I mean Old Navy!)

oldnavybag


Wednesday night the kids and I were chauffered to the nearest "Old Lady" (that's Gray-speak) for an Old Navy experience. We walked in and were gifted with $300 to spend. Let me begin right here and thank Brand About Town for this most awesome hookup.

The kids got their own dressing rooms with a coloring station and snack table. And all the sales associates they could want to bring them Loose Fit jeans and graphic tees at their beck and call.

Noah wanted everything. In every color. Carter wanted one yellow shirt and then was only concerned with the snacks and if he could have more snacks.

Can I get back to the snacks now, Ma?

Check out our booty.

The total was $299.04. Mmm hmm I'm good.

I'm doing something fun to ring in Ivy's very first birthday, so until September 15 I'm going to post some fun giveaways every day- this marks Day 4 and you can see all the other giveaway posts so far here.

Leave a comment below if you'd like to win a $50 Old Navy gift card. Today's giveaway is open to US residents only. I'll choose one winner at random on the night of Ivy's birthday, September 15. Winner will be contacted via email (so please include it when you fill out the secure comment form) and I'll also announce all winners here by September 16.

Miss Madison's Mommy said...

I just got back from Old Navy, but I wouldn't mind going back with a gift card!

Carolyn said...

I started subscribing to you around this time last year, wishing you well and anticipating my own baby's birth (she'll be 1 on Oct. 4). What a fun way to gear up for her big day. How can they be almost one? $50 would get a cute b-day outfit - plus much needed jeans for big brother.

evitafjord said...

Ohhh, I need new jeans, I love Old Navy jeans, jeans, jeans!!

Or new Halloween costumes for the monkeys (literally, I LOVE the monkey costumes this year).

Heather said...

Super cool! I'm so jealous of your shopping experience. I would like snacks at every store I visit, especially the thrift stores. All the digging makes a girl hungry :)

I'd love the gift card and could use it too! I need jeans so bad and keep putting it off and off and off.

Bloggin' Mama said...

Toni said...

What a great experience! I'm glad you all had a good time. :)

Diana said...

I really enjoy your blog and your take on parenting. As the mother of four almost grown children, you take me back to those precious younger years. It's been fun to watch you chronicle Ivy's first year...it's gone by so fast...enjoy it!!

It feels like just yesterday that Ivy was born! (I'm sure you feel that way even more). Would love to win the $50 gift card. With Old Navy's amazing prices, that would go far! Thanks! :)

Dy-Anne said...

Tori turns 6 months 4 days after Ivy's birthday and she needs some winter duds and #oldnavy would fit the bill quite nicely. They were the only place that had a 0-3 months swimsuit cause they have everything.

Lisa said...

I could definitely use some "Old Lady" money! Haha...so cute! My girls are into the layering thing which means we always need more tanks and tees. Thanks for all these fun give-aways!

Audrey said...

Oohh.. this is my favorite give away so far! I could definitely use some Old Navy cash. Thanks so much!

I'm not gonna lie. I want this. I was just in Old Navy last week exercising more will power than I knew I had as I perused the baby girl clothing and imagining it on my Butterfly. Somehow I walked out empty-handed, but I don't know if that will last. Thanks for letting us in on the celebration. :)

Ah! That would be a dream trip. Except this time I'd shop for myself, since my kids' wardrobes are almost exclusively Old Navy. A couple of seasons ago I wasn't big on their ladies line, but I love everything right now. Slouchy? ON PURPOSE? Yes please.

I'd love an Old Navy gift card. It would really come in handy in about 8 weeks, when I don't need maternity clothes anymore, and my old clothes don't fit yet. It's hard to feel pretty as a new mom, but new clothes always help!

What a huge blessing to be able to shop for all four kids in one stop--without having to spend a dime!

I hope Ivy has a wonderful birthday.
