This is How We Roll

My dear friend posted how they get back to school shopping done at their house.

Then asked how we do it. So, Here's the the Henry Herd low down.

2 kids, 1boy, 1 girl
Said boy will be attending our local charter school for Kindergarden
Said Girl is Homeschooling again for the 3rd year
All very exciting!

Said boy, happens to go by Ty. Ty is very particular about his clothing at times which can drive ME completely insane! The way things feel, the way they fit, the color etc. all issues for him pretty regularly. Said boy is wearing UNIFORMS So Ha! I say to you Ty, no more choices...However the price to be paid for sanity is high, 15$ per polo shirt, not to include the Khaki shorts (already had one pair and found 2 others thrifting for 1$ a piece) and solid color sneakers (found on Kmart special for 10$) Whew! Ty done!

Said Girl is becoming quite trendy... cutesy tops, skinny jeans, and gladiator sandals. Where did the little redneck go, heck I don't know. So due to home being school said girl, who goes by Faith gets to shop all year round. We simply pick things up as we see them on sale or in thrift stores. Not much else to say...

We have found it satisfying to remove things through the year that don't fit to our "give away" pile and then unload it all at our church's biannual free clothing event "No Strings Attached". Feels great to give it away with no strings attached, no tax right off or reward just pure giving, It's fun to see others be blessed!

That's it for us, nothin' fancy, no lengthy or expensive trips to the mall. Simplicity. Ahhh!
