Love it! So happy that we got to see you guys even if we were ‘sans-Wayne’ And even happier that I decided to travel down the beach with a cover-up because there is no way I would have stood next to Misty with my abs exposed! Hopefully it won’t be 5 yrs until we return. We can always hope and pray to be stationed there again in another 3 yrs

I used to do that but I figured I was wasting money on it because they would go through a growth spurt and outgrow something so quickly or I was saving stuff that they’d never wear. I especially never do this with jeans. Plus, that would also mean that I would have to shop when it isn’t absolutely necessary. I hate shopping so I go when I have to which saves me money that way too I guess.

I am BIG on buying ahead (for cheaper) to save for later. I am almost brand exclusive, so that helps to predict sizing. I know how my go-to brand fits and luckily, if something is still too big, I can still save it for later, or, conversely, if it’s too small, there are two other girls who can wear it later. I always size down on bottom because I have skinny shorties, apparently (or their sizing is fairly consistently off; I think their sizing for bottoms is for kids in the 90%tile).

I generally only buy new clothes for Mallory and I buy too many, not really on purpose, so they aren’t worn too much, which means they are still in pretty good shape by the time that Tessa gets them. I don’t feel bad about buying new only for Mallory because when it’s time to switch clothes for the next size/season, all of the next size/season clothes are coming out of a bin where they have been packed away (Mallory’s are packed away too since I buy hers ahead most of the time). The only difference is that Mallory’s clothes have tags on them and the other girls’ don’t.

At this point, Mallory’s wardrobe is extending beyond one brand (Gymboree, which I can get super cheap if you watch sales/coupons/etc) and we are venturing into Lands End some (love how most of their clothes aren’t too cutesy) and the occasional Target (runs small or closer to true to size) or Crazy 8 items (fit like Gymboree).

The sizing drives me nuts though… maybe even more so with shoes!

My dad always used to tell me to go look it up when I would ask him how to spell something growing up. I never understood that. If I can’t spell it, how can I go look it up. Turns out, he didn’t know how to spell it either. lol

Perhaps these people that can’t spell need to go to the liberry and check out a dictionary.

You *do* realize that “congradulations” is a matriculatory pun, right?

Thank you! I need all the help I can get with my spelling! Some days spell check just doesn’t cut it!

I’d buy that t-shirt if it’s women’s fitted. If not, I’m going to pass (for myself).
