It wasn't always possible to shop with the girls individually, but when I could, that was the best and least stressful way to go. They've always had very different shopping styles and needs. But as a working mom, we often had to shop as a group. I quickly learned to take breaks before the burnout started and to stop shopping Lindahttp://www.theothersideoforganized.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15694514.post-82963409658620121882010-08-21T20:02:46.857-07:002010-08-21T20:02:46.857-07:00Okay so you know how back to school shopping its T...Okay so you know how back to school shopping its TONS of fun when they are little and its new...(Luckily I am still in the fun stage, but friends of mine are not...) They are still just as opinionated but its cute right?? Then we get older, they get older and inevitably you have to survive it rather than enjoy it... except that shopping is ALWAYS fun for me, unless I dont' find anything to Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309127489577947682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15694514.post-25146738370280149722010-08-14T20:14:15.301-07:002010-08-14T20:14:15.301-07:00Great article on "10 Things a Teacher Wants Y...Great article on "10 Things a Teacher Wants You to Know."

I will keep your Manic list in mind while we are out.<br />I also have one more rule - we do very limited shopping before school. I will buy them a more extensive winter wardrobe in mid October when they have finished all growth spurts and when they have a good idea of what they really want to wear this year!!Making It Work Momhttp://makingitworkmom.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15694514.post-6527627554697751422010-08-10T18:43:57.171-07:002010-08-10T18:43:57.171-07:00Thanks for the tips.

I agree, paying full price is for suckers!
