Specialty Shoes

Seems like every soccer season, be it Spring or Fall, I'm in the market for a new size in soccer shoes for at least one of my girls. Luckily, Kyla has been able to wear her sister's hand-me-down soccer shoes for the past couple of seasons, but this year, Kyla's feet have caught up with her big sister's feet.

Since I began shopping at Goodwill, I noticed a huge collection of specialty shoes for kids, like cleats and tap shoes. So, if you are in the market for kids' specialty shoes, check out Goodwill first!

I bought the pink Nike soccer cleats for Kyla this week. They were $5.00. In fact, all of the shoes shown in this picture were $5.00 or less.

Great Shopping Week

I am so excited about this week's finds!

Since we're going to Disney World in May, I have been looking for lightweight backpacks or fanny packs for the girls to carry. I'll be honest here... I've not been looking THAT hard, but I decided this week, I need to get busy in my search.

Today, I totally scored on this convertible backpack/purse for Elisan.
Remember when I found this exact purse in baby blue in December?

Now, we'll be carrying the same purses at Disney. I love Kipling because it is lightweight and durable. Perfect for a trip. And at $3.99... you cannot beat that price!

I also found this for Kyla. Since she's six, I knew a fanny pack would be more suitable for her. Here's what I found for her today. It's not my favorite, but I know she loves "The Little Mermaid" and since we'll be at Disney, I thought it was very appropriate.


And finally, I found this great workout tank and shorts by Adidas. The guy at the GW didn't know how to price the tank top, since it was not considered a "blouse" so he said, "Will you take $.99 for it?" I said, "Um, YES... and can I go back and get the other three I decided NOT to buy?"

Haha, I was joking... sort've.

Anyway, I got the tank, running shorts and another "Faith Girlz" book for Elisan all for $8.50. Not bad!

Christmas Challenge! Day 22

As most of you know, I try to hit the gym at least 4 times a week. That is, provided it is not the week of a the biggest holiday of the year! Or, the week after... I'm just sayin'...

I buy ALL of my workout tops at GW. Yep, every one of them!

I typically only buy Nike brand. I love Nike brand tops because the material is far superior and it holds it shape and color. I have NEVER paid full price for a Nike brand workout top. Never. I could not pay $25.00 (or more) for a top that I'm going to wear to the gym and sweat in. These tops run around $3.99/each.

I've not been as successful in finding shorts that I love, but if you are looking for a "new" workout top, try GW!
