If we can put a man on the moon, develop wireless phone technology, and give people the abilityto pause live television, why can't we create a single machine that will wash and dry a load of laundry???

I came up with a great fix to a problem I was having. What do I do with all the holiday shirts and sweaters that Bacchus Jr. still can get into, but is inappropriate to wear to daycare or out shopping.

The solution:
Since Bacchus Jr. occasionally has accidents at daycare that require us to leave an extra change of clothes in his cubby, that is what I am doing with the out of season clothes. Now the clothes have an extended function and I can get more than two wears out of them. Sometimes I leave for work early and don’t know what he had on in the morning when Mommy Bacchus dropped him off. If I see him in a bright red christmas tree sweater when I pick him up in the evenings, I clearly know that he had an accident or spilled something on them. This is now my clue to get his dirty clothes out of his cubby so they don’t stink up the classroom during the next day.

An added benefit is that I have also taken some of these clothes over to his grandparents house and babysitter so they always have something just in case he spills water paint all over himself…..

I save my son’s costumes and buy additional ones when they go on sale. When my son’s friends come over to play they can have fun with dress-up in the backyard and pretend to be superhereos.

Like most parents, I like to save money whenever I can. I do a lot of clothing shopping for my son, but I have a system that works well. I buy a majority of his clothing second-hand. In our area, we have a couple of second-hand children’s clothing stores and I would bet that there is one near you if you just look for them. Since my toddler needs new clothes each season, I am constantly shopping for clothes every three months. It doesn’t make sense to spend $25 for one pair of department store jeans, when I can get five pair for that same amount. You would be amazed at how many designer brands that have been barely worn for a fraction of the new retail price. By purchasing a large amount of my son’s clothing in this manner, it allows me to reserve my new item spending for a few choice pieces I just can’t live without.
