My kids have just grown out of their summer clothes and have nothing to wear for Fall. No Fall clothes are on sale and we tried Nordstroms Rack with little success. We love Volcom for Brody and Juicy Couture and Roxy for Piper. Of course brand names are expensive and we can't shell out the big bucks right now. So thank you ebay! I have been buying brand new clothes for both the kids at great discounted prices. These prices are much better than Nordstroms Rack. So here are my rules for Ebay.
1. Don't bid on anything right away, "watch" them instead.
2. Track everything you are watching daily.
3. Wait until about 5 minutes or less is left of the auction to bid on an item. Give yourself enough time in case the person before you put a max bid.
4. Do not fall in love with anything! You might end up paying too much just because you love it, so what was the point?
5. Before you bid, have a set amount you will not go over and stick to it. You are suppose to be getting a deal. Stop bidding or watching an item if it goes over that amount. Make sure you include shipping in your total so it's not extra.
6. If you only want new items, make sure you only search for new or NWT (new with tag).
7. If you have an iPhone, get the ebay app (it's free). It gives you reminders when your items are almost over.
Happy bidding and buying!
We love these toddler shoes from Target. They go with everything, they are comfortable and they are only $12.99. We have two pairs in Piper's current size and one waiting in the next size. Warning: they do scuff easily so either buy them knowing that they won't last forever looking perfect or just save them for special occasions.

I'm not going to lie, I've never been a huge fan of Carter's. I had shopped at our local store maybe once and would sometimes buy their packaged onesies at Target. However, I received a gift card recently and went into the store and now I think they have the BEST pajamas. Hello! Plus, they have enough selection you don't have to buy something with a huge cow that says "moo" all over it, they have more subtle choices too. Anyways, my whole point to this post (besides loving the pjs I've been buying Piper) is that they also send you great coupons if you sign up online. I LOVE that. Every few weeks I get a promotional email that includes a discount coupon. I love companies that keep up on their coupons.
Look what I got as a gift from my lovely friend Gina! I am sooooo excited. Now I just need to find some extra time to start sewing. So far I have a lot of burp cloths and that's it. Time to expand.
I think people have been trying to tell me this for a few weeks now, but they sell my FAV swaddling wraps at Target now!! The Aden & Anais wraps. Pack of 4 for $29.99. I use to pay $45 for 2. Not sure yet if they are the same, but I can't wait to find out. They are the best!
This pram from Pottery Barn Kids is one of my favorite gifts Piper has received. She played with it when she started walking and I know she will keep playing with it for years to come. It's not cheap at $79, but I think over the years we will get our money's worth. Plus it's so cute, it still looks great hanging out in my living room. I keep this stroller inside so as to keep it clean as long as I can, we have this stroller for outside fun.
