Resizing Brooke’s School Shirt
One the first day of school Brooke’s teacher gave me a shirt saying it was her school shirt that she had to wear on field trips and she could wear it whenever she wanted as well. The shirt was a child’s medium and honestly probably would be big on my neighbor’s 11 year old. Brooke is INCREDIBLY picky with her clothes and only has a few shirts/short/dresses that she wears ad nauseam. She is very particular about new articles in her wardrobe as well. So I knew getting her to wear this tent of a shirt was going to be a crying meltdown struggle every time she ‘had to’ wear it to school. I took my moderate sewing skills and went about adjusting the shirt so it would fit her properly. She happily wore the shirt around the house after I was done. I think I did not to shabby of a job for my first time resizing a shirt.

Rainy Day Fun
We had another day of rain and very cranky children so we decided to try this trick.
Beach Day in September
The weather is perfect for a sandy beach day. Mild but not too chilly yet, sunny but not hot. Perfect weather for sand castle building, ocean toe dipping, walking/running on the boardwalk, looking at the shops, and playing on the beach swing set. We worked up an appetite so we went to Five Guys afterwards.
