Have you heard of the 365 Project? It’s an attempt to document your life in photos – One picture. Every day. One year. It’s quite the challenge, and I’m sure I’ll stumble at some point but I’m taking a stab. But, to keep myself motivated and interested (because my life really isn’t that interesting) I’m putting my own twist on the 365 Project. I am focusing on my kids’ clothes.
You read that right. Their clothes. Yep, every day I’ll share a picture of one or both of my kids and tell you a little something about what they’re wearing.
Shallow? Perhaps. But, let’s face it, my children have wardrobes that put mine to shame. They have some adorable stuff. Some of it they outgrow too fast, some days we never leave the house to show off their duds, and sometimes they make such a mess eating that an outfit doesn’t make it past breakfast. Because I can now share their outfits daily, the 365 Project is now my new justification for all their clothes. (Which reminds me, a big “thank you” to whoever invented this and gave me a new *grrreat* excuse.)
I have no idea how long I’ll be able to keep this up. But I do know my kids wear something every day. So I do have that going for me. I hope you’ll pop on over every now and then to check it out: The Shopping Mama presents… 365 Days of Children’s Clothes.
Do you have a Project 365 blog? Link up! I’d love to visit and check it out.
With thredUP moms can easily exchange clothes that no longer fit their children for clothes that will. Through pre-paid mail and home delivery, thredUP is fun, affordable and incredibly easy.
My little peach has been on a tear lately. Thankfully, some of the craziness that comes out of his mouth is funny because some of it? Not so funny. He is so darn defiant lately. And, being that he is now 3 and fiercely independent it will come as no shock to hear that the phrase he now says most frequently is, “I can do it all by myself.” But, actually, it usually goes more like this, “Noooooo. I can do dit all by myzelllllffff!!”
As I mentioned in other posts, we traveled with A LOT of stuff (understatement of the year) over the holidays. One of the best decisions we made was to check both our car seats at the gate so we didn’t have to lug them through the airports and security and so on and so on. (In my recent experience, checking car seats and strollers is still free even when an airline charges for luggage.) But, Preschool Boy is a small little thing and the FAA, American Academy of Pediatrics and NTSB suggest additional restraint to secure little ones in their own seats. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you it was much much easier to carry the 
CARES Features
The CARES is made of the same solid material as a seat belt. It’s a large circle that goes around the airplane seat and has two straps with loops through which you feed the provided plane lap belt. It creates what essentially amounts to a 5-point safety harness like you’d find in a car seat. The 
The straps are all adjustable so you can make it a secure fit for your child and it will easily grow with them. Preschool Boy seemed pretty content in his special seat belt and I liked that he was more safe using it than not. I also appreciate that it helped to keep in him place – he can be a squirmy and fidgety little dude.
