It is awesome...and looks like they ship to Canada. You can sell them clothes and get either store credit or Target giftcards. You can also just buy...all clothes are very lightly used (or not used, still have the tags on them). It is very cute and trendy. So far, thanks to store credit, I've gotten two adorable dresses and one cute top for a grand total of...$1.74. All brand-name stuff I'd never buy new and cheaper than I'd get it even at half-off day at Salvation Army. And both the selling and return process (I did have to return something that didn't fit well) were really painless. For selling you don't pay shipping at all; only for returns. Anyway, it is great (and I promise I'm not a paid shill...just very pleased with it!)Jenny Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10133048572595109212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883970092765312318.post-78090357072621942562015-04-26T19:49:39.687-06:002015-04-26T19:49:39.687-06:00Oh, I feel for you about naptime.

The beginning of last week was so rough w/ consistently interrupted naptimes and then solo parenting through the evening with kids still awake and needing things and oh my goodness can I just please have some quiet time for myself!!<br />Sorry about the Boden dresses. :( I just bought a swimsuit from them and I think another size would fit better but I don't want to deal w/ their returns. Canada needs to start an amazing clothing line so you don't have to pay an arm and a leg for shipping!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03695179104841318390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883970092765312318.post-51750183215940270552015-04-26T18:26:51.130-06:002015-04-26T18:26:51.130-06:00Hey!

I hear yo...Hey! Thanks for the W.K. shout-out :) <br />I hear you on needing the afternoon break. We're in the same boat... too many kids, not enough rooms. Afternoon rest time is non-negotiable here, so every year or so as the needs change, we have to play musical rest-time rooms. I'm always trying to remember where everyone is located ;) Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09440812661317797011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883970092765312318.post-35893761345446808382015-04-25T13:08:31.326-06:002015-04-25T13:08:31.326-06:00Oh I want StichFix in Canada too!

Our 3yo and 2yo share a room, but not for naps. I lock the 3yo in there with some books and tell her she doesn't have to sleep, but she must stay in her bed and quiet. It mostly works. The 2yo naps in an extra crib in my bedroom and the baby in a pack & play in the "office." Which will probably need to be a bedroom eventually. My two older ones also share, and they have to find a quiet activity either in there or at the dining room table. But they aren't always great at the quiet thing, either. So most days it's okay, some days not so much. <br /><br />It's gloomy here, too but for us that means 70 so we'll probably qualify as warm. Stay cozy!

I love everything they do, but then they have to ship it to Britain, I have to pay excise duty on top of it (which would not be refunded), so clearly, I can't really send anything back. I've only dared to by ONE dress from them so far. But I love them all. So yeah. Terrible.Isabellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05399975452682018233noreply@blogger.com
