Little Sprouts Consignment Sale

This year is the second year I have been lucky enough to snag a pre-sale pass to Little Sprouts! Little Sprouts is an upscale children's consignment sale. When you hear consignment some people instantly think of a bunch of junk but let me say that is NOT the case at Little Sprouts!! The racks are full of great finds. Both times I have been I got some great finds! They only accept high end kid's clothing such as Janie and Jack, Gymboree and super cute smocked things. I am still kicking myself for letting a Maclaren stroller go for $80 last year. 

This year I got a smocked snowman two piece outfit for Christmas. A corduroy brown shortall with long sleeve shirt for Halloween/Thanksgiving (I am planning on having Eli's initials put on it), two long sleeved Ralph Lauren Polo shirts and a reversible down puffer vest from REI. I only spent $47!!! If I had shopped retail I would have spent $50 alone on the Christmas outfit. I will include pictures below, excuse the cell phone quality. The sale is still going on, opening to the public today! A link is below also!!

With Love,

Sewing, Smocking and Southern Babies!

I took a smocking class before Elijah was born but still had morning sickness so I only made it half way through the class.  I have been saying for a year that I am going to sign up for sewing lessons at Joann's.  I've tried twice but the classes book fast so I've missed out.  Since I've been looking for an outfit for Eli's 12 month pictures it's really made me wish I could have made something!  So if anyone out there sews or smocks I could use some encouragement/help/lessons!!

Things I Love

 Things I Love

I am still trying to figure out this Amazon gadget so please bear with me! I bought a Snack Trap from Toys R Us a few weeks ago and love it! Eli can grab his snacks out of the opening in the top and they don't all spill on the floor when he drops it or when I stick in the diaper bag!

Second product is a sippy cup. When we first started transitioning to the sippy cup I seriously bought every one at Target!! I found this just a few weeks ago, again at Toys R Us and it's by far my favorite!! It does not have a valve inside so it's not totally spill proof but rarely leaks inside the diaper bag! It keeps milk colder than other sippys because it is insulated. Of course Eli loves the cups because they have Mickey Mouse on them!

Consigment Time Again!

Last year I got the amazing opportunity to blog a review for Little Sprouts Consignment. Little Sprouts by far is the best sale for your time and money. They consign only higher end and in good shape clothing, toys and gear. I will be at the sale this year! Below is a link to their Facebook page and my review from last year!
