Lets Talk CLOTHES!

Ok so if you know me well enough you know Children's Place is my favorite brand to buy my kids. I don't pay retain non-sale prices for Gymboree EVER... If its something at CP I like I will put in the extra money to get before it goes on sale... Normally their prices aren't that high unless its a holiday season. Plus I am always armed with my 10% on my credit card (its amazing how I don't have a balance too!) Plus whatever season pass they send me. SO I save save save when I buy Children's place clothes. I worked there for over a year and Skylar's closet was often filled with Children's Place clothes... and still is!

I don't really like a whole lot of Gymboree Clothing lines compared to Children's Place Clothing lines for Skylar anywho. I will usually find one line or two a year and buy it on sale or off of ebay.
Last year I was in LOVE with the Royal Garden & Schoolgirl Rock's line. I got Skylar a few pieces from each line. As well as some from Ballet, Holland Days, & Parisian Rose..

I do however like their layette sets and always have. I like the idea (as well as my kids like the idea of) Having a warm blanket to go with their clothes. I prefer them for newborns I guess they don't have the crazy color combinations like they do for the older kids lol. Plus I am picky on what Skylar wears (certain dresses and skirts, halter tops, tank tops etc)

So I've search and searched nearly daily on Ebay for Gymboree blankets that are inexpensive. Layette sets so I have more of a selection than what's just currently for sale. I have found two new lines that I love for William and One that also is too way cute! Flying lessons (which was from 2006) The good ole postman delievered William's first outfit from this line today. I also like Fly with Me oh its oh so adorable! So the search goes on LOL. I am still looking for a good deal on the blankets of other sets and a few other lines like Brand New Baby (with Monkeys and MAYBE Elephants) and the Husky Pup. How cute is that??

Friday Night Goodies.

I went to Gymboree while Rick was getting his hair cut. I got all this for $50 plus I got $25 in Gymbobucks. I also got another blanket and a t-shirt for Skylar. I actually got a layette cheaper than I would at Children's Place.





I really wanted this entire set but we are out of cash and time they are doing a floor change this weekend. I love love love Children's Place.

Coming Home Outfit

I haven't decided on anything yet

I am keeping my eye on Gymboree.com layette's, I would like to find a classic carters layette but I went to the outlet and didn't see nothing that was classic. I am a Childrens Place addict www.childrensplace.com

Maybe I should do something Military related since Hubby and Oldest brother are in the military? I like the idea of Big Sister Little Brother but its hard to find my 6 year old Big Sister t-shirts since she is a 6/7... maybe I can get them something matching off of cafepress.com or etsy.com

I was thinking she would wear it when he was delivered? Big sis/ Baby Brother shirt

Children's place is great for coordinating the whole family maybe something from there.

We live in the Rocket city so Rick and I are playing around with the idea of Rockets :)

We were going to the NASA Museum but here is something on Etsy Link

I love layette's I am a sucker for a cozy blanket




More Big Sister/Little Brother Ideas
Pillow Case Dress.... I wonder if I can customize this?

Baby Brother t-shirt or onesie

and this is my favorite outfit he owns so far
