Easy Solution for Transitioning Seasonal Kids Clothes

Posted by MeckMom on Nov 12, 2008 in Uncategorized | 2 comments Yesterday it was a chilly 42 degrees here in Missouri.  Last week it was 72 and it wouldn’t surprise me if I woke up to a balmy 80 degree day tomorrow.  Around here, the weather fluctuates constantly in the fall and spring which can make it pretty tricky to keep your kid’s clothes under control.  There isn’t enough room in their drawers to store multi-seasonal options, so I...
