Frugal Summer Jammies

I remember a friend telling me about this a while back, but forgot about it until I read it on another blog (think it was ParentHack.com). Men's or boy's boxers make great summer jammie bottoms. Buy them a bit bigger than you think you might wear (or your child might wear), stitch up the little hole in the front nad there ya have it! I bought one package of 4 (it was a bonus pack which are so prevalent right now before school starts) and it was only $5! I originally about them for my oldest son, but they were too small. My youngest dd tried them on and they fit her perfectly! They are camo design, but had two pairs of blue camo that look great for a girl too. My youngest son wears the other camo designs and they are huge on him, but he will grow into them somewhat next year. Pair these with some t-shirts bought on clearance or that youmight already have and it works nicely (I suggest buying the t-shirts a bit bigger for a growing child so they last a bit longer than just this summer). My sister used to do this to years ago and she and my mom would tye-dye them....very cute :)

I love my crockpot/roaster. I have a 10 qt. roaster...which is very hard to find. While at a thrift store, I found an exact match to the one I already have...woohooo...$20.00!!! Stainless steel and black! I am putting two chickens in it this a.m.
Also, on the boxer thing....aren't you an 80's child or close to it? That was what we WORE out in public.....very big and very baggy....drove my mom NUTS! Actually, I think it is what started the below the bellybutton pant thing....lol. I'm off to garage sale...have a great day!
