Doing this
project is fun, I really do hope I can keep it up for the whole year, as
I guess the main purpose of it is, is to take a photo of Theo everyday.
In terms of Theo's clothes, I guess I just enjoy creating outfits for
him, but I want to challenge myself to make the most of what we have for
him already and try and curb my slight obsession with shopping. We do
most of our shopping for him in the sales, and it's pretty rare that we
buy full priced clothing for him. When he was younger we used to get
most of his clothes from charity shops, or nearly new sales, but for his
age range it seems harder to find these days (perhaps because toddler
boys wear out clothes more?)
I've been avidly reading
Free our Kids about
Harriet, a mother who is going to try and go a year without spending
(unnecessary) money on her toddler. I agree whole heartily with lots of
her opinions and 'rules', especially with the toddler food and clothes
aspect, and while I would love to do the same I don't think I have the
same will power (at the moment!), but I'm willing to try to make small changes to the way
we live and spend our money. I loved
Sarah's
attempt at making her own snack bars, and yesterday me and a friend
made some child friendly biscuits (with a lot less sugar!), which went
as we made it into an activity for the toddlers to part take in, but
unfortunately I didn't take any photos as trying to 'help' two two year
old is enough work! But anyway, it's a start.
IF only we were nearer, we have such similar taste we could just rotate outfits!!!
