It works every time.

Our girl's get away to TN if fast approaching (except for Mason - he is also included) and Kaylea really needed some new swim suites. I thought it would be fun to do some mother/daughter shopping. She is 11 and really not that into shopping YET. I know the day will come when I wish we could go back to these days.

As usual, she just wasn't feeling it and was in a bad mood. UNTIL - she started trying on the clothes. She turned into a completely different person. All smiles and giggles!! She even said "I look great in this"

She walked away with 3 new swim suites, 3 pair of earrings and 2 pair of sunglasses.

ME? I got a $11.99 cover-up.

Never underestimate the power of shopping to turn a bad day into a good day. I went to the store and brought home the happiest girl ever.
