Westgate Plaza

Besides coming to Grow with Me, have you shopped around at Westgate lately? You could easily make a day of it if you are shopping alone, and at least a good half-day with the kids.

So here's the plan: while you are checking what fits and what doesn't for winter, put the best aside to sell at Grow With Me. Then come on in and drop it off right before lunch. While you are waiting for us to go through your things, take the kids for something to eat at Barry's Bagels, or over to Star's Cafe or The Old Siam if they are more adventurous. When you are done with lunch, head over to Just Baked to get cupcake desserts. Now that the kids' tummies are full and they are on that sugar high, let them frolic with the kittens over at University Aquarium. And you might as well pick up a treat for your furry critter at home. When the sugar has worn off, spend some quiet time reading at the library and pick up a few books for home. Run a few of your own errands at Rite Aid or Staples or Hallmark. Dare you try TJ Maxx? Well, they've behaved so well, go ahead and take them into Learning Express so they can pick out some items to put on your holiday shopping list. Then head on back to Grow With Me, and use some of the store credit you just earned.

Voila! Half the day is gone and what a fabulous afternoon you've all just had! Hope to see you soon.

Happy Holidays

So the holiday season has begun. Halloween is over, Thanksgiving is on it's way, and before you know it the winter holidays will be upon us. And apparently snow is predicted for Friday (glad I'll be in Texas for the weekend!).

Are you ready? Why not reduce your stress level and start buying early. I actually squirrel things away in my closet all year long and then see what else I need about this time of year--those new "likes" and big buys. And I would say that a good portion of what I buy comes from resale stores, some of it still brand new. Of course, the younger kids don't know the difference between new and used, and the older kids don't really care as long as it is something they like. If you start early and put your name on the Wish List, you can save a bundle of money.

We're getting ready for the holidays as well. All our holiday-wear is going out on the floor. We have put some absolutely adorable dresses on the racks! And we have all sorts of really cute stocking stuffers, including wood pencil sharpeners and matching pencils, wind-up toys, tops, mini-Slinkys, Silly Putty, and Christmas Duckies (the old-fashioned real rubber kind).

So why wait? Come on in for some holiday shopping, put your name on our Wish List if there's something in particular you are looking for, and then you can relax and enjoy the holiday season!
