so sweetly blessed

Well I must confess, I went shopping yesterday. And today. But before you look at the picture and gasp in horror... please read on.

It started out innocently returning a pair of Capri's my mom got Emma from JCPennys because they were a bit snug. I thought 'I'll go see if there is the next size up' and imagine my surprise when I noticed all of these large greens signs above the rack {1.97 final clearance} OH MY! And then a small sign next to it saying {ADDITIONAL 25% off} ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? Quickly doing the calculations.. that made all of those adorable things $1.48 a piece. I got Emma a few things, saw these darling red shoes for her for preschool and two pairs for Jake to grow into (yes, at only $1.48 as well). I was SO excited when I got to the register and my purchase was only $15!!! So I came home and proudly showed Aaron my finds and he was actually impressed! He is always impressed with my knack of finding good deals, but this was especially impressive to him. So much so that HE said maybe I could take a $20 and go tomorrow... {GASP} what a guy. So of course, we went again today. Even more things on sale. I decided today I would get a few more things for Emma and then get things for the kids for next summer. I love having a little stash of bigger clothes for the kids, makes me feel so prepared :) Anyway - I had to fold them all up and take a picture for you of course!


Yes I do realize there is so much more for Emma, but 1 - girls clothes are cuter, and 2 - the boys sale was one rack compared to the at least 10 racks for girls.

So the point to my amazingly long post about sale shopping? GO to your local JCPenny's! Seriously, the sale is amazing. WHERE else can you get NEW and adorable and trendy kids clothes for $1.48 A PIECE? Let me know what you find!

I think the most ironic part is... this is one of the first time I've shopped at Penny's for the kids... I'm a GAP and Old Navy kinda mom, but one can't really pass this up - and the stuff is way cute! Have I bragged enough?? Yup...
