Here’s part of my spring to-do list to help you get ready for kid-friendly outings.

Kid’s Clothes

  • Check “spring” jackets and rain coats to see if they fit.
  • Check out last year’s rain boots and try them on.
  • Locate ball caps and sun hats.
  • Spend some time with your kids trying on summer shoes, t-shirts, and shorts to ...

When my closet would begin to overflow, my friends and I would have what we affectionately called "UGLY TOP NIGHT" and swap our clothes and shoes. It's way more economical than a shopping trip to the mall and it's more fun than a garage sale with strangers.

I still spend lots of money on clothes and shoes ... for my boys! Clothing I purchase for myself tends to be more classic than trendy and ...
