Mommy Insider Info:

we were super surprised that the fall weather hit memphis so suddenly this year! (today's high is 68!) that on top of the fact that sutton's converse were drenched from a walk between rain showers on sunday and his "crocs" gave him blisters during school on monday drove us to the mall monday night for some much needed shopping.

i just wanted to let all you mommies out there know that dillards carries several striderite shoes at significantly lower prices than you will find in the striderite store! (disclaimer that i have only tested this at the oak court mall in memphis.) we scored these adorable suede sneakers for $29 (not even a sale price) when the striderite price was $40! dillards also carries lots of converse for $20 (great for kiddos with wide feet, fyi).

now, we just need to get the boy some pants that fit! poor kiddo is wearing cords from last year that make him look like he's ready for the flood of thunderstorms predicted for tomorrow!
