School has started in every part of the country by now, which means more and more kids are wanting the “trendy” items. Kids will want those trendy bracelets, hats, skirts, “the look”, etc. For those that have no clue what the kids are wearing this year, here is a sneak peek. Good luck!

Remember when Mrs. Banks sang,
We’re clearly soldiers in petticoats
And dauntless crusaders for woman’s votes
Though we adore men individually
We agree that as a group they’re rather stupid!
Cast off the shackles of yesterday!
Shoulder to shoulder into the fray!
Our daughters’ daughters will adore us

From Kensington to Billingsgate

We’re fighting for our rights, militantly!
Never you fear!
So, cast off the shackles of yesterday!

When I pulled up to her condo I realized my suitcase was not in my …read more

I realized my daughter is starting Kindergarten in September and there will be this mad rush for school clothes.
I can’t really understand why kids need a whole new wardrobe for school. I mean, kids get clothes all year long these days right? It’s not like in my Grandma’s day when she saved up enough to buy her children two pairs of shoes a year, for school and Easter Sunday.
I went garage sailing and picked up about all she’ll need for about $12. I’m not about to blow a couple of hundred dollars for this consumerist tradition. I picked up a …read more
