Two drawers of her dresser pretty much disintegrated over the holidays and the poor girl was living out of plastic tubs until we found a replacement.

This year, my older daughter outgrew last year’s snow boots and my younger daughter outgrew her snow pants and there’s snow in our upcoming weekend forecast. So instead of heading to a retail store, I hit my favorite thrift store (on a Wednesday for their 50% off sale) to see if I would have any luck.

The girls and I hit my favorite thrift store this week. Both girls got new (to them) sneakers and they were thrilled. And my oldest daughter got her first pair of Converse sneakers. They were also hardly worn and my daughter was thrilled. As usual, I found some great deals.
