How Shopping Secondhand Saves Families Thousands
Nobody tells you before you have kids just how fast they grow.
Intellectually, you know. You've heard it a thousand times. "They grow so fast!" But you don't truly grasp it until you're standing in a clothing aisle buying 18-month pajamas for a baby who just aged out of the 12-month ones you bought three weeks ago.

Karyn has been a mom for a long time. Three girls.

It was just Tuesday.
