Kids clothes are so stinking cute. I can’t tell you how many times something has cropped up on my Pinterest feed or I’ve seen a blog post and flipped at the awesomeness of something before realizing it was made for tiny humans and I could not, in fact, get one for my own closet (I know, I’ve talked about this before).

This is tragic. But luckily for me, I have two tiny humans who can wear the super cute things I squeal over. Right now, I’m totally feeling the spring stuff.

Yesterday was beautiful. We had the windows open. We went out jacket free. We talked about planting flowers and making a fairy garden. It was glorious—and it better not have been a cruel April Fool’s Day joke from mother nature (can you see me shaking my fist? Because I’m shaking my fist).

I want SPRING! And I want to wear springy clothes! I’m talking shoes without socks. I’m talking lighter weight shirts with just a cardigan and a scarf. I’m talking bright colors. I’m talking NO MORE CRACKED HANDS!

Are you with me?

I’ve decided that even if the warming trend is not an actual trend, I’m going to start dressing myself (and my girls) as if it is to try and will spring into existence.

Sound good? Good. Because I found a ton of unbearably cute pieces to work into your kid’s spring wardrobe. Even better is the fact that a couple of these goodies are available for adults too. SCORE!

I’m a sucker in a lot of ways. Yesterday my seven-year old informed me that while I am a sucker, I’m a smart one. I’m not so sure that the two can go hand-in-hand, but I’m definitely a sucker—and I appreciate her trying to soften the blow of that reality.

Right now I’m a big fat sucker for super cozy handmade kids fashion. They get major bonus points if they’re squeal-worthy and I kind of want to wear them myself. I’ve been seeing tons of cute scarves and hats this season that I want to own in big girl size, so I took to Etsy and spent way more time than one should poking around and compiling some of the cutest and coziest things out there.

And, of course, I rationalize my plummet into that deep dark hole by sharing all of the goodies I found with you…

*This is a sponsored post, but even if Old Navy wasn’t paying me, you better believe we’d be doing our back to school shopping there.

So, um, it’s August already. I’m not really sure how it snuck up on us so quickly, but it’s here. And suddenly everyone is talking back to school. To me, it seems a little premature. My little bubs doesn’t officially become a second grader until the second week of September.

But still, you better believe if there’s some sort of sale happening this cheap momma is diving in headfirst no matter how premature it might seem. When I heard Old Navy (one of our favorite stores) was having a $10 and under back to school sale (through August 14th, btw) I packed up the babes and drove on over.

I’m a big fan of a good deal. I’m not an extreme couponer by any stretch of the imagination, but I don’t buy anything without looking for some sort of coupon or discount code–especially if I’m making a purchase online. When Coupons.com offered me a $50 gift card to The Children’s Place to put together as many looks as possible, I took it as a direct challenge.

My little one does not need any clothes. In fact, between hand-me-downs from her big sister and friends, I should really weed some things out for donation or to sell to places like thredUP. Samantha, however, was in serious need of some summer options.

So, on Memorial Day weekend–when there were some great sales!–I headed on over to The Children’s Place in search of pieces that could mix and match effortlessly. We ended up with these three looks (and Ellie’s bathing suit!).

My favorite part is that Samantha can put together so many different looks with these pieces and a few others she already has (like say jean shorts or a white tee) and I know she won’t clash too terribly. She’s at the age where she wants to put her outfits together herself and they sometimes still make me cringe a little. Or a lot.
