Back to the Basics
Simplify your Children's Wardrobe
(just bc we are in a recession does not mean you get to shop at Old Navy)
Instead of buying 5 sweaters....just buy 1 from a local business
(Another perK: this will keep your home more organized)
Here are some of my favorite Local Picks from
Whimsies in Barracks Road
Can't get better than a pair of blue jeans (tractor brand...my favorite) and a box of Petit Bateau Long Sleeve Shirts

Obsessed with these Clogs....this could be your 1 big Splurge

A new brand that they are carrying is
SCOTCH SHRUNK....this is a really cool looking brand out of Amsterdam (worth the stop to check it out)

The Label is pretty amazing.....Not only do you get a paper airplane to make...you get a stuffed doll...a cool label and a great looking SHIRT

Everyone is trying to find slippers (especially Montessori Moms and Dads)
Whimsies has a great selection
Enjoy Back to School Shopping....and Forget about Target and Old Navy
I guarantee you will spend less if you focus on needs vs. wants
SHOP LOCAL
IT IS IMPORTANT
SCOUT TIP: Whimsies is having a 50% OFF summer clothing SALE....I bought Tilly some beautiful summer dresses (50% OFF) and then.... a great winter sweater to wear with the dresses. Shop SMART.
Please tell them SCOUT Sent YOU
PS Betsy is a Grandmother....so be sure to congratulate her!!
