As a follow up to my pho-tog post the other day, here is a pic of Sissy helping me take a picture of the new Zig Zag Turkey (tested, but not yet listed). It was late in the afternoon so I had her lay the onesie across her chest so I could take a picture with the design in good sunlight! 
And now to my Walmart finds! I swear you can add a monogram to poo-poo and make it look good. I got these hooded zip jackets at Walmart a couple of weeks ago, and of course added my boys initials for a throw-on cool weather jacket. I’m not sure how much the jacket was? $14.97 maybe? They both wore them Friday to school. I found 1 wadded up on the floorboard of Jeff’s car and the other wadded up on the floorboard of my car after school. They take such great care of their clothes…
What I like about these sweatshirt jackets is that they have a very thick, soft, warm lining in them.
Pretty good quality little jacket from Walmarts!
I also got Garrison this camo long sleeved t-shirt for maybe 5 bucks. I got like 7 long sleeve t-shirts in a variety of colors (Faded Glory and Hanes) but he was most excited about this one, and of course I monogrammed it. He is 5 and not clothes picky, so he will still wear shirts that are monogrammed (and even some that are appliqued). I still have a stack of tees to “do” for him ~ brown, green, orange, white, etc.
Not too exciting of a post (sorry folks), but be on the lookout at Walmart (and Targette of course) for simple items you can monogram! Other good sources ~ Old Navy, Belk, JCPenney… Boys are hard too because everything else you see has bling or super heroes all over them. I love when I find plain stuff!
Last night Jeff & I had a fantastic date night. The kids spent the night with his parents, so we were able to make a trip to Target, dinner at one (of three) of our fave mexican restaurants (which happen to have live music which was fun) and we went to see the movie “Courageous“, which is a GREAT movie! It’s a must see for parents (and specifically fathers)! Take some kleenex. After that we got some ice cream/italian ice at Nancy’s and this morning we got to sleep in stay in bed past 6:30! I was actually awake by 7 but managed to pretend I was sleeping until about 8:30. We are having a few friends over to watch the Auburn/LSU game shortly so my kids are ready in their AU jerseys and M has on her cheerleader outfit. Have a great weekend (and dare I say “WAR EAGLE”!!)
WAR EAGLE!!! I got some cute shirts at Walmart(s) the other day too…ladies Hanes (I think) for around $5, nice looking with a feminine fit. I think Granamals left the pocket off their boys shirts for winter!!! I hated having to take them off! Perhaps they got the message b/c they had a lot of pocket tees on clearance.
I got my son a backpack for $7 at Walmart last week and put his name on it. Looks great!
Very cute! I love the camo shirt and the jacket looks great!
Love Walmart and Garanimals!
I enjoy your designs for my embroidery machine and was wondering if you could share some places where you can buy some long sleeve plain polos for boys? I’m hoping there is somewhere a little cheaper than Gap? My little guy is like a 4T so the ones at Walmart and Target are still a little big for him.
Thanks
I am not sure! I actually need to find some for my boys – maybe Belk, but I don’t know how they compare to Gap or if they come in toddler sizes?
I did the same thing for my little one on a hoodie a few weeks ago and it is precious! Target had a few hoodies for toddlers that were in solid colors for $8 if anyone is interested. I also got some plain turtlenecks at Walmart last week. The quality was great! I have a hard time finding t-necks. The girl ones even have gathers at the neck. I heard they are running low in some Walmarts already!
They were low on the white turtlenecks at one of our Walmarts this morning! I also noticed they had the same hoodies in toddler girls – light pink and purple (and black)!!
Please post pics from when you test embroidered poo poo. Thanks!
🙂 OK!
I picked up the $14.97 hoodie at WM for my 16 month old last night – I hope I can come up with something cute to applique/emb on it! I also think the turtlenecks they have right now are really cute and good quality but my daughter has a FIT with changing shirts right now so I think expecting her to wear turtlenecks this season might be a bit much – LOL!
