5 Retailers Selling Uniforms (besides Walmart & Target)

It’s crunch time! There’s nothing like that sinking feeling when you can’t find your child’s size in a school uniform store. Here are other places to purchase uniforms from – besides Walmart and Target – and you can purchase online from all of them (except the last one). You may find more of a selection online too!

• Macy’s 
• Old Navy
• Kohl’s
• CookiesKids.com (online only)
• A to Z Kids Store – this is for my Atlanta residents who don’t mind coming to South Dekalb Mall. Great prices! 

*You’ll have to go to the traditional uniform store if you need embroidering.

Quick Twin Bed Rehab – Removing Stickers

I’m raising my boys on a budget!

So, I got the idea from my neighbor to ask my mother-in-law for the twin beds they kept in their guest room… the same beds my husband and his brother slept on. She was much obliged – overwhelmingly so actually. Apparently, not only did my husband and his brother sleep in these beds during their childhood – but their father and his brother also slept in said beds.

Translation: these are some old beds! But, I guess there is some sentimental value. Of course, my concern was their safety … and after checking it out, my husband and I deemed that they were okay. SO … now for the rehab.
