If you have a little one at home you know that it's a pain to take their pants off, then unsnap the onesie, then change their diaper. You also know that that as they start crawling, their little knees get banged and bruised on the floor. Even as they start walking they get these little scrapes. This is why I love Babylegs leg warmers! They are perfect for infants, toddlers, and even bigger kids. In the winter time they can be worn under pants, in the summer with just a onesie for convenient changing and floor protection.
Right now, Inspired By Finn is have a super awesome sale on Babylegs. They have them on sale starting at $2.95!! These usually run from $8-$12 a pair! I was so excited I got 4 pair. Shipping is only $4.95 and if you "Like" them on Facebook and go to their discussion page you can get a code for an extra 20% off your purchase. I got 4 pair for $14.23 including the shipping!!

The Children's Place
I did a post a few weeks ago about needing new kids clothes and some different ways to save money on them. Today, I was out and about trying to find some summer maternity clothes and I wandered into The Children's Place. I used to be a die hard Carter's fan when I was buying new clothes but, I found The Children's Place last summer.
Carter's has some great sales but, The Children's Place...wow! They have sales starting at $1.99. Today, I found some great things for C for the fall and winter and also for Baby Girl. Every item I bought was 3.99 or under with the exception of one super cute denim dress and bloomers for $7 that I just couldn't pass up! I also received some 15% off coupons for my next purchase. You can also Like The Children's Place on Facebook and spin their wheel for extra coupons.
As far as finding maternity clothes for me...not so much. Ugh, only 10 more weeks!
Another cool thing happening right now for moms in DFW, a friend of mine started DFW Mom Swap/Buy on Facebook. It's a great place to list any of your gently used baby and kids items that you would like to sell or swap for other items. You can also find gently used items. If you are in the DFW area, you should definitely check it out.

Need New Clothes??
Oh, how kids grow, and grow, and grow. It seems like one minute they're in 3-6 month clothes and the next they're in 12 months. Sometimes they skip a whole size!
When C was born he weighed only 3 lbs 7 oz. It's crazy how small those preemie clothes are! The one good thing about him being so small at first was that his clothes lasted longer than most babies. But, now at 16 months he has caught up and continued to grow. His 12 month clothes are too short, his 18 month clothes too long! It's cute.
We also have Baby Girl coming along in August. Unfortunately, since she is a girl, she can't wear C's old hand-me-downs. So, how do I save money on clothes for C and BG?
One place that I frequent is Kid to Kid. It's a store that has gently used clothing, furniture and toys. They even have maternity clothes. You can sell back your gently used clothing and then get new-to-them clothes for your kids. One trick is to hold on to your used clothing until it's about to come back in season and then take it in to sell. If you take winter clothes in the summer, they are less likely to give you any money for them. Another store similar to this is Once Upon a Child. I don't like this one as much because the one near me is kind of gross but, I've heard good things about other locations.
Another great place to get baby and kids clothes for cheap, as well as furniture and toys, is a consignment sale. I attended my first consignment sale this past spring and it was awesome! For those that happen to be in the DFW area Divine Consign is wonderful. The event is held in an auditorium or conference center and it's huge. It's held one weekend in the spring and one weekend in the fall. They have so much stuff that this year, they let people drop stuff off to consign on the second day. You can find name brand Gymboree and others for under $5. Some items still have the original tags on them! For this particular sale, if you are a first-time mom you can sign up and get in early to shop before everyone else. Thousands of people attend these events. Look for them in your area. When I went in the spring, I stocked up for C's wardrobe this spring and summer and next spring and summer.
If you are part of a Mommy group or have a group of mommy friends, a great idea is a swap. Get all of your mommy friends together and bring any gently used clothes and pile them up together for everyone to go through and take what they want. It's a great get together and it's always great for clothes to go to someone you know. You can do this with your adult clothes as well.
And as always, clearance racks. It doesn't hurt to stock up for next season by shopping this years clearance racks. Over Christmas, I bought C 3 pairs of jeans for $5 each at Carter's in sizes 18 months, 24 months, and 2t. Now we're set for jeans for the next 6-8 months!
What good tips do you have for saving money on clothes for you kids??
