If you’ve been following the blog for a while, then you know I used to work at lululemon. I LOVED working at lulu, but it wasn’t in my long-term goals. Also, I would joke that I made negative dollars – that discount was oh-so glorious. As a military wife, unless you’re a teacher or nurse, it can be challenging to find and keep a job since you’re constantly moving. but lulu was something I was able to maintain from Orlando to Tucson. after I quit, I’ve been working at the resort two years.

Before shopping, we had met Michelle and Levi for bagels, then met up with some more friends and their babies to check out the new store. After lulu, I had to get a couple of little things for the bride-to-be’s shower, then came back home so Liv could be a nap ditcher
