Wordy Wednesday w/ Linky: Teaching toddlers to shop

Filed Under: Motivated Moms, Small Town Living Tagged With: motherhood, shopping, toddlers, wordy Wednesday 17 Comments

It’s Wordy Wednesday and below is a linky for you to share your Wordy or Wordless Wednesday post. First see what how our daughters learned to bargain shop this week. Living 100 miles from a shopping mall, the girls don’t have shopping experiences on a regular basis. But they are learning to shop, prairie style. 
Miss E has a shopping cart and goes grocery shopping in our pantry. But after seeing her “drive” herself around with her groceries on the stairway, I thought it was time I took the girls shopping, prairie style. 

We didn’t drive to the mall, just the consignment store 27 miles away which is loaded full of authentically prairie items, like Jello molds, funky furniture and much more. 
While the girls played, I found treasures…
totaling less than $20.  Prairie style shopping 100 miles from a shopping mall has it’s benefits. What’s your favorite bargain you found lately?
Feel free to link up below and share your Wordless or Wordy Wednesday post. Visit the others linked up and have fun connecting. I absolutely love every single one of your posts and comments. 
Linking up with a few favorite Wordless Wednesday blog friends…

    Love your finds! My recent bargain was a $5 table and chair for my little man. He loves it for snack time and coloring, etc.

    I try to take my son with me weekly, but I don’t live that far from a mall and such, so teaching him is a little easier. I LOVE a bargain… make sure to stop by later this week (Friday) and see my blog about the bargains I get at local thrift stores and such! Its worth “bookmarking”

    That is such a neat idea and I loved that you took them to a place where they wouldn’t get overwhelmed and shoved around by other shoppers!

Welcome to the Prairie…

I am a mom of three kids and a wife to Nathan. Together we live on the North Dakota prairie, 97 miles from a Starbuck's. I share about family, food, farming and the prairie that I love. I used to commute 98 miles one-way to work but it required too much coffee. So now I am home, consulting, speaking, writing and primarily, juggling family life.
