A Great (and free) "Shopping Assistant"

Wow, it has been one crazy week!  I don't have much time this evening and my brain is exhausted, but I am determined to keep up with this blog...so here I am with a quick tip before my head hits the pillow!

With warmer weather on its way I know a lot of people are shopping, so I wanted to share this little tool to make buying clothes for your tinies a little easier. It seems like every brand is sized a little differently, so I have trouble buying clothes for my son myself and it's even harder for others.  This is great whether you have your kid with you or not, and is also great to give friends and family members around birthdays and holidays.     

All you need is paper, pen,and a string.  Trace your child's foot on the paper, cut it out and write his/her name on it.  Then cut one string for their arm (sleeve) length and one for leg (pants) length.  Make a hole in the paper foot, attach the strings, and you have a handy guide to buying the right size clothes and shoes.  So simple!

I am making these for some family members since my son's birthday is coming up, so I used card stock, stickers, and ribbon that I already had on hand. 

Hope this helps you as much as it has helped me! :-)
