A few weeks ago I saw Wifessionals, a mama/blogger that I follow on instagram, announce that she was hosting a Look for Littles swap. The rules were simple: sign up on her blog, indicating the gender/age of your child & you would be matched with another momma with the same age child. Then, contact each other, decide how much you want to spend & put together a "look" for their little. How FUN! And fun is right up my alley. Not only would I be able to shop for another precious baby, I would be excited to receive my own special package in the mail! The "Look" had to consist of a top, bottom, and two accessories (shoes, socks, hat, etc). I signed up right away & awaited my match!
A few days later I was given the information for my LFL (Look For Littles) match - a sweet mom from Texas! She has two boys, one a baby close in age to Dane. We emailed back and forth and discussed size, how much we wanted to spend, and exchanged home addresses. It was fun chatting with another young mom, even though she was miles away. We ended up talking about our kids, jobs & just giving advice & encouragement to each other. @tjwest21 - if I'm ever in Texas, I'm going to look you up! Maybe we can visit Southfork & pretend we are in Dallas?!
After emailing several times, we both set out to shop! We mailed our packages the same week & this is what I sent her little guy. I also included a note for her & some chocolate...because what mom doesn't like coming home to a big Reese Cup?!
The Look she sent Dane is precious! She included a sweet note to both of us with plenty of y'alls...a true Texan! I stuck it in Dane's baby book for him to read one day. And those suspenders?! No words. A few days later I received another package from my new momma friend - how sweet! I especially looooooove the boombox shirt. Little did she know I am a 90s rapper at heart.
Overrall, the LFL swap was so fun & something I would love to do again! I got to shop for another little, get something for Dane & make a new friend along the way. I call that winning.
Where are some of your favorite places to shop for your littles?
That is so cool! What an amazing idea. Reminds of the day of pen pals! :-) I love Old Navy for my dudes as they go through clothes like water, just wait until Dane gets mobile! Of course who doesn't love Baby Gap? I also love Carter's and Children's Place. However, we are totally blessed to get LOTS of hand me downs from my sis, and I will NOT complain about free clothes for my wild men. Tell Dane to stop growing so fast! Love you Mommy!
