to my fellow bargain hunter moms,

You may want to go check out your local Children's Place!

I rarely buy anything for full price when it comes to clothes, so you can imagine the fun of walking into The Children's Place for the sole purpose of buying Garrett a new swim suit and walked out with two huge bags and a bill of $150.

The fun of it is that I probably came home with $450-$500 worth of clothes. It's their end of the season sale, so everything is marked down to $3.99 or less. I got a fantastic stock for next summer for all my kids including swim suits, sandals, church shoes, shorts, skirts, shirts, dresses and dress shirts for the boys.

Oh, and I couldn't resist stopping on my way out of the mall to pick up these little clips for Lydia's hair. The very little hair she has is a bit out of control these days! The 20 or 30 really long ones are always sticking straight up. Maybe these will help.

That's so funny that you posted that, I just went there last night. I only had a few minutes before RS and I needed a baby gift for a shower tonight. I ended up missing RS entirely and spent over $100! Shhh, don't tell Duane! (In my defense, I had a 20% discount coupon, and there's no sense in wasting that on 1 item when I'm going to have to buy new school clothes in a few weeks anyway!)

I love that place! I always shop for Brody at their day-after-Christmas sale. It's FABULOUS! The year he turned one, I got almost $200 worth of clothes for less than $50!

Lydia's hair clips crack me up!

Thanks for the tip. I love that store. I'll have to go online and see what I can get. (yeah, we live in the middle of nowhere, and any good shopping is done online.) Lydia is so dang cute.
