We’re just a few days away from July and you know what that means…the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is almost here!! The sale preview is now live, and we’re here to help you with all things #NSale – the shopping schedule, and the ins and outs of shopping etiquette, and how to make the most of this incredible event! See what the sale is all about below.
What Is the Sale?
The Anniversary Sale is Nordstrom’s biggest sale of the year! Featuring deals on top brands, best-selling items, and new and exclusive Nordstrom finds, this is one you definitely don’t want to miss.
What Is My Status?
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is broken down into tiers to make shopping easier and reward the loyal customers who love Nordstrom all year long. Nordy Club cardholders get first access to shopping, but that doesn’t mean you can’t start prepping now for when it’s your turn to shop! You can check your card status here.
When Can I Shop?
These are all the important dates you need to know for the sale:
*Shop online starting at 12:01am ET the first day you’re eligible to shop
- July 9: Nordstrom cardholders with Icon Status can start shopping
- July 10: Nordstrom cardholders with Ambassador Status can start shopping
- July 11: Nordstrom cardholders with Influencer Status can start shopping
- July 15: Public Access – sale is open to the public!!
- August 4: Last day to shop sale before items go back to full price
How Can I Shop?
You can shop the sale in-store or online, but online is your better option to have access to the best selection. Plus the Nordstrom stores can get very busy during the Anniversary Sale, as it’s the most popular event of the year, and being able to buy those coveted items from the couch while wearing your PJs sounds like a win-win.
The sale preview is now live, so start browsing and making your wish list. That way, when you’re able to shop the sale, you can add those items right to cart and purchase! Here is a wish list Kristy compiled of some of the top items from this year’s sale.
In addition to free shipping and free returns, Nordstrom also offers curbside pickup and returns, expedited shipping, same-day delivery (for selected areas) and even international shipping.
What Else Should I Know?
- Plan and budget! Decide how much you can spend, then view the sale preview and find exactly what you need. There are tons of amazing items included in this yearly sale and it can seem overwhelming, but having a game plan will help you tackle this with ease.
- Use your wish list – a lot of these items sell out and sell out quickly. If you’re undecided on an item, just add to cart and purchase…Nordstrom offers free shipping and free returns online and in-store.
- As a Nordy Club member, you get points for every dollar you spend. Maximize this by using your double points day on the day you plan to do the most shopping!
- It’s never too early to think about the holiday season! This is a great time to take advantage of the discounted prices on favorite gifts like beauty bundles, throw blankets and candles, and cozy accessories!

Another school year has come and gone, and we’re ready to fully enjoy a summer of sunshine, swimming, and serious relaxation. It’s a much-needed break for the kids and parents alike! Kristy had a fun-filled end of the school year, and as room mom extraordinaire (along with a couple other really amazing room moms), she helped make sure the classroom finished the year with a lineup of awesome parties and celebrations. Whether you’re taking on classroom duties next year or you need some inspiration for exciting summer activities, these end-of-year celebration ideas can be used for any occasion! See our roundup below.

It’s time for another splurge vs. save post, because we love looking good for less! If you’re ITK when it comes to this year’s seasonal trends, then you know sporty skirts are all the rage this summer. This athletic chic look mixes preppy and practical pieces for a look that will take you from a morning on the courts to an afternoon lunch on the boat. Or just, like, running errands around town, dropping the kids off at camp, wistfully gazing out at your backyard wishing you had panoramic views of the Long Island Sound…whatever. See our summer splurge vs. save inspiration below.

A themed birthday party is the perfect way to celebrate your child by giving them a day full of the things they love the most! Finding just the right decor, snacks, activities can feel overwhelming, but Kristy is an expert party planner and has all the best tips and tricks. She threw this baseball-themed party for her son’s fifth birthday and she knocked it out of the park! Check out her party ideas below.
First up, snacks! This concessions stand is the perfect way to keep all the best baseball game favorites in one place. From popcorn to sunflower seeds to cotton candy, this snack table covered all the bases!
Is it a baseball party without Dippin’ Dots?? I absolutely looked into getting the real thing but it was about $200 to ship!! I love my son but notttttt that much…thank goodness for Walmart! I found these alternatives that are almost like the real thing – they were so good!
I even made this cute sign that I attached to the ice cream cooler and paired with these plastic helmet bowls!
These pretzels from Philly Pretzel Factory were a homerun! I grabbed 50 for $30 and got a few different sauces on the side for dipping:
- Brownie Batter
- Buttercream (kids’ favorite)
- Nacho Cheese
- Mustard
- Cinnamon (my favorite)
Game day wouldn’t be complete without the candy! The kids loved being able to grab a couple of their favorite sugary treats throughout the party, and these fun decorative signs kept the theme going throughout.
And of course, a baseball cake with a baseball candle! We did half vanilla/half chocolate and my local ShopRite bakery made it. Also, would you believe me if I told you that when I cut the cake, I literally cut it perfectly down the middle splitting the two flavors…not a crumb of flavors mixed. I couldn’t do that again if I tried! It’s the little things in life, right??
Obviously we needed a few activities to keep the hopped-up-on-sugar kiddos occupied, so I made this baseball scavenger hunt and printed images on cardstock (if you have more time than I did, you can laminate them and reuse)! The kids had a blast! I hid the pieces all over the backyard and they had to find all of the objects before they could redeem a prize – I went to the dollar store and grabbed a bunch of dollar gifts so I’d have enough for everyone.
This cardboard pop-up playhouse was a hit! The kids colored on it all day in between games and food!
An no birthday celebration is complete without the perfect party outfit!! I found this jersey-style top and this adorable headband adorned with baseball-themed charms, and paired them with a pair of jeans and simple sneakers for a sporty chic look!
