We got through the Chirstmas holidays and now are eagerly awaiting spring, with all the wonderful sights and scents that come with this season of rebirth.
Pleasanlty, I am reminded of my Gramma taking me for a new Easter outfit each spring. She worked at Eatons in downtown Toronto. Back then, Eatons had a cafeteria and the bribe for me to try un dozens of dresses was lunch out. She would let me push the tray around, collect my own sandwich, dessert and use the chocolate milk dispenser myself. Now that might sound silly to some of you but it made me feel grown up. After making my own decisions on what to eat and drink, I had to pay the lady at the cash, even though I was painfully shy. My Gramma was one smart cookie and knew I needed these experiences to get over my shyness, chocolate milk being the best part.
Tegan's mom, Chistina, has already gotten Tegan's Easter dress so I'll be searching for some other fun clothing. We are commited to only buying from companies here in Canada or the US. Please Mum is a based out of Vancouver, Ontario. Tegan has a snowsuite from them and the quaility of their childens' clothing is excellent. Often they have fantasic sales both online and in their retail stores. If you sign up for the newsletter you will not miss a sales event.
Shoes!! Goodness but Tegan had 18 pair of shes before she could even walk. That will be my next project, to find Canadian or US made shoes that are affordable. Say tuned for my next blog post.
