It was shinier than the sun🌞


“I don’t like that outfit.”

My daughter and I were at our favorite clothing store. She was tearing through the racks like a hungry lion.

She had to find the perfect outfit.

I asked her. “Okay, what about this one?”

She gave me a shoulder shrug.

“Oooh, this one is awesome!”

My eleven going on twenty-year-old girl held up a shirt shinier than the surface of the sun.

I think I went a little blind.

"This one is PERRRRFECT!"

Yes, there's two times a year my kids get clothes.

Usually around Christmas time with winter pajamas they outgrew from last year.

And back to school time because they have holes in all the shirts, pants, and socks from last year.

The shocking thing is an article from Time Magazine said most parents are spending $800+ per kid this year.

😬😬😬

Yea, that's a big no thanks.

You don't wear your receipts to show-off how much you spend.

And quite honestly, no one will remember what you or your kids wear...ever.

Yes, you can still be fashionable and wear cute clothes, but these are the smart ways to save money on back to school clothes.

Give today's post a read for the 5 tricks my family uses each year.

With 5 kids under 11, we average $200 total ($40ish per kid) with coats, underwear, socks, shirts, pants, and shoes.

After you learn what we do, let me know if you do the same or if there's another way you save big every year.

With love,

Micah

Happy Wednesday, Reader! Last year, we were sitting on the front porch, the kids holding their little sparklers and waiting (not-so-patiently) for the neighbor's fireworks to start. When the first sparkler lit up, my youngest whispered, “It's like Jesus' light.” It caught me off guard. Because in that moment—surrounded by the noise, the humidity, the chaos—I saw what he saw. Awe. Wonder. Light in the darkness. And I thought, our freedom really is a gift from above. That night reminded me how...

Last week, I found myself scrambling to organize a last-minute family event. Between juggling schedules, meal planning, and keeping the kids entertained, I was feeling overwhelmed. Then I remembered something small but powerful—a printable planner I had saved from my favorite shop. That little sheet helped me map out the day in minutes. Suddenly, everything felt more manageable. The kids were happy with a fun activity sheet, and I could breathe knowing I had a clear plan in front of me. This...

Happy Wednesday, Reader! Every 4th of July, after the hot dogs are eaten and the sparklers have fizzled out, my crew knows exactly what’s coming next… Pajamas. Blue Bell ice cream. And a patriotic movie. It started one summer when my youngest was scared of the fireworks. Instead of going to the big show, we pulled out a blanket, snuggled on the couch, and I told them the story of when aliens attacked America on the 4th of July. (Yes, it was Independence Day movie with Will Smith, but they...
