“No” is just a part of life. It’s not the fun part and can be a hard lesson for our little (or big) kiddos to learn. As a parent, it can be hard to be the one teaching this lesson.
But we want the best for our kids and our family, sometimes that can mean we have to say no. I’m not sure anyone likes to tell their kids no. It’s definitely not my favorite.
But here’s the thing. If we want to be teaching kids about money then we need to teach them about self-control, especially when it comes to your budget.
Have you noticed how expensive it can be to buy maternity clothes? If you have ever been in the market to dress up your baby bump then I know you have noticed those crazy price tags!
I remember with my second pregnancy, first baby, (long sad story, for another time maybe) I was about 20 weeks prego and my mom and I decided to go to the mall to start buying some maternity clothes. Of coarse our first stop was in one of those super cute maternity shops. Whoa! Sticker shock would be an understatement!
I’m not sure about you but no matter how much money we are making in the future, I am not going to be spending that kind of money on my clothes! Especially clothes that will only fit me for about five months! I remember feeling a little sad thinking that I was only going to be able to afford maybe two shirts! How was that going to last me through me whole pregnancy?
We decided to look elsewhere! Have you ever felt the same way?
Don’t worry! I got your back! Or maybe I should say, I got your bump! (Cheesy! Sorry not sorry!) Today I am going to share with you all the tips I have used to save money on maternity clothes!
My husband and I are addicted to Craigstlist! I think I developed the addiction from my husband actually. The reason… you can find some amazing deals on there!
