Soaking Up Summer


This is the last week of summer for me. My 8 year old heads to second grade next week, and my twins head to Kindergarten the following week. Trying to soak up the last of summer this week with one final beach visit and lots of family time. Summer 2015 has been a great one, but it has gone by FAST. How is it that 2+ months have already passed, and it's time for packing backpacks and lunches (ugh) again. Hope you're soaking up the end of summer, too...enjoy!

Consignment Sale Time!!!



It's time again for one of my favorite times of the year...Consignment Sale Season!! This week is when it all gets started both for the moms and the kids. Charlotte Warehouse Sale kicks off on Wednesday evening offering deep discounts on NEW women's clothing, shoes and accessories. And for the kiddies, there are LOTS of sales coming up in the coming weeks. Check out our Fall/Winter Consignment Sales 2015 page for details. The season kicks off with my fave (I'm biased, for sure), the Charlotte Mother's of Multiples (CMOMs) Sale this Saturday at The Park Expo & Conference Center.
