The 4th of July is usually marked in retail as the ‘end of summer.’ Most retail stores start clearing out their summer stock to put out their fall items. Any seasoned mom will tell you that this is the time to buy ahead. Buying ahead is harder when the kiddos are just babes, but as they reach toddler and preschooler status, it becomes much easier because their growth starts to stabilize.
So the time is upon us! Start seeking out those deals! Looking for summer clothes for next summer now will save lots of money!
All month at BirminghamMommy.com we are going to be featuring tips and bits of knowledge for new moms. We already do this throughout the year, but you’ll see a lot of it this month. And we don’t know everything!! Please comment and let us know your opinion!

We have a friend who is a bit of shopping mastermind… one might call her the “Shoe Oracle.” We have been chatting about wanting a comfy summer shoe that wasn’t a flip flop. Our Shoe Oracle found a few options.
The first option is the Volatile Sandal, this one is the Voo Doo style. The bed is foam and wonderfully comfortable. No slippery feelings from foot sweat. (Don’t lie, your foot sweats.)
The other option is the Dr.Scholl’s Dance Clog or Mule. I’m a Mom…!? just purchased these and has great things to say about their comfort. In her words, “They truly are comfy, will go with everything and are so ugly they’re cute… Best of all, one less pair of shoes that make my legs look like stumps!”
Added tip: Shoefly in Homewood is having a great sale on their Volatile Sandals. They also carry the Dr. Scholl’s.
