Halloween

Halloween is in two days. My littlest one is going as Little Red Riding Hood. My oldest three don't feel the need to get in full costume anymore. They're too "old" for that now. Too mature. OK, maybe just too old.

I suggested wolf masks and chasing their little sister down the street but they didn't go for it.

Enchantments

I just opened up a Kitsy Lane boutique (jewelry and more)! It's called Enchantments and includes oodles of jewelry and pretty scarves.  It also includes some pretty things for your little one too.

Since I love great coupons, I created one for anybody wanting to shop for some bling.  Right now, you can get $20 off a $45 purchase using coupon code TXHJL7GBKR.

Mini Fashionista

I have a little fashionista! My youngest is all about fashion.  Her Christmas list was mostly clothes and at seven years old, that's different.  I expected a ton of toys.

I see many shopping trips in my future with her!

Shopping for Kids Clothes

This past week, we've had an awesome Indian summer.  However, it's supposed to get chilly again by the end of the week and that means - my kids need more clothes.  They always need more clothes (little buggers won't stop growing).

My two youngest (ages 6 and 10) are pretty easy to shop for kids clothes.  In fact, most of the time I just buy their clothes and give them to them and they love them.  They trust me to pick out their clothes (for awhile yet anyway).  Little kids clothes, like these pants from Ellos, are so sweet!

My 12 year old son requires stylish jeans, of course, like these Ellos jeans paired with an Ellos Checked Shirt (he loves checked shirts).  He has the longer, stylish hair (that I always see his female classmates playing with) and the same girlfriend for a year - - he's got to have it going on with the clothes too!

My teenage daughter is into boots this year (she takes after her mom because boots are MY thing).  She loves boots - high boots, ankle boots, heeled boots, flat boots.  Yes, she has all of the above too.  In fact, I have bought her more boots than I've bought for myself (good thing I can squeeze my half size bigger feet into her boots, ha ha).  I am thinking my teenager would love a pair of these boots from Ellos. They'd look great with her jeans, which she needs more of (plus, they match my winter coat too and then mom would be stylin' along with her kids).

So, it is off for some shopping for kids clothes before the extreme cold hits.  It's pretty outside now with the moderate temperatures and the leaves turning colors.  Beautiful!  However, it is only a matter of (very short) time before the kids will need cooler weather kids clothes - lots of pants and long-sleeved tops - and the warm weather clothes will get put away.  Ellos has some great choices in kids clothes!
