It’s Cino de Mayo! For ideas on how to celebrate with your kids, check out the posts at Kaboose.com. You’ll find holiday history, craft projects, coloring pages, and kid-friendly receipes. Fun!Inspired by the day, I reviewed our (very long) list of children’s clothing designers and realized we don’t have any from Mexico! I did a quick search on-line, and wasn’t able to find any. If you know of Mexican children’s clothing designers, please comment – I’d love to learn about them.
Specials and sales to consider this week include: Additional 25% off entire purchase at Talbots Kids (tip: use with 60% off merchandise); $5 Tanks and shorts at Crazy 8 (tip: scan the website various 75% off items); Mini Boden Mid-Season private sale- save 35%; Pumpkin-Patch Mid-Season sale – save up to 40% (and don’t miss their continuing 70% off winter clearanc)
