Patagonia Winter Sale Starts Today!

Lots of you have been googling and trying to find out when the 2011 Patagonia Winter Sale starts – well it’s on as of today 1/19 through 1/26.  Get 30% off some pretty awesome winter gear for baby, kids, and adults.  Check the Patagonia sale  out for some great deals!  I might snap up a few things for Cameron for next winter – and baby girl too!

That’s a picture of Cameron last winter in his baby long underwear (it still fits!!) and I also got him a super warm winter jacket.

No Snow Pants for Baby? No Problem!

I consider myself a frugal person – I had no problem shelling out for Cameron’s Patagonia baby puff rider jacket because I knew he would wear it every day.  But buying an entire snow suit seemed excessive.  Afterall, would he really need it?  Well, yesterday I was wishing I had some waterproof bottoms for him after our first sledding trip in Fort Greene Park.  I mulled it over while Cam was taking his nap, and came up with a solution for our afternoon outing : I put him in a garbage bag from the waist down.  Not the most attractive solution – but it worked!  His jacket and mittens kept him dry up top, and the bag covered the rest!

FYI – the Patagonia winter sale is back on – with discounts of up to 50% off.  This includes baby stuff.  Cameron has both the Puff Rider Jacket and the Baby Capilene which I am thinking about buying again for next year!
