Now that my daughter, Ava, is almost 6-months-old, it’s even more fun dressing her up in cute clothes during the warm weather. A few weeks ago, Family Dollar gifted me with several super cute sets. That’s right, Family Dollar has launched a new line right in time for summer called, Kidgets, which offers stylish, yet budget-friendly (all under $10) clothing and accessories for newborns to toddlers.
Having seen my fair share of onesies, dresses, and short-sets, I was blown away by the quality of the outfits. Since babies outgrow their items so quickly, it’s always a good idea not to invest a ton of money on clothes. That’s why Kidgets is such a great buy – you actually get quality for an affordable price making it a win-win purchase.
So the next time you’re shopping at your local Family Dollar, be sure to check out Kidgets for excellent deals on everything from sunglasses to sandals for your little one.
Have you ever shopped at Family Dollar? One lucky reader will win a $50 gift card to the store. Just leave a comment and a winner will be randomly selected and announced later this week.
Grammy-award-winning singer, TV star, former Covergirl and mother — Brandy has already done what would take most people a lifetime to accomplish. And, at 31, the entertainer proves that she’s still ready for business.
Tell me a little about R&B Productions. Will you and your brother Ray J produce other artists?
“Right now we’re just focusing on the Ray J and Brandy movement — as a team. It’s always been our dream to be like the new Donny & Marie, so we’ve been working on developing a sitcom. I’m really trying to get [Ray J] in the studio. We need to do an album together. We’re just waiting for the right time. Timing is everything, so I’m really excited about that because I know it will happen.”
So you’re working on a new TV show?
“Yes, because that’s where we come from. Together on camera is where we’re skilled. The chemistry between Ray and I is so magical, so we have to explore that.”
Speaking of Ray J, you guys are so close. Was there ever any sibling rivalry between the two of you?
“We are very close, almost scary close! [laughs] We don’t have sibling rivalry, but discovering different aspects of our relationships on the show is very interesting. For example, Ray is very business savvy while I’m not. I’m very emotional and very artistic. He is too, but he’s more into ‘I’ve got to make money.’ Sometimes I want him to just be my brother all the time, but he can’t because he’s a businessman.

Summer is the time to switch up your hair hue. If turning your tresses fire-engine red like Rihanna might be too daring, there is certainly a color that will suit your style.
From soft highlights to bold golds, we BGs are never afraid to play with different shades for our strands. Several years ago, I even took a brief walk on the dyed side, but I’m not sure if I’d get up the courage to color again!
Have you ever colored your hair? If so, did you regret it? Take a peek at some of these recent dye-jobs.
