Read The Label!

You know those little tags that hang from the collar of your clothes. Did you know that if you read them, they tell you how to launder that item? Shocking!!

Remember that adorable ladybug costume/jacket I bought a few weeks ago at the yard sale? I had tossed it in with some other red items waiting until I had enough for a load of wash. I never bothered reading that tag. I usually do, and now I know why. That jacket was a 4T. It was going in the closet to wait the years it would take until Sera could wear it. We don't have to wait anymore. It will fit her this fall now! All's good though. It only cost me $4.00, and it will fit her this fall. It's still cute, just much, much smaller now.

Lie flat to dry does not mean toss in dryer on low cycle.

As a bonus, here's a picture of Sera and me at Lily's birthday party last Saturday. I copied it from Lily's mom's blog last night.
