The first day of school is right around the corner (for Baldwin County, AL, school started last Monday) -- I believe within the next 2-3 weeks most of the children will be back in school.  From what we hear, both the parents AND the kids are ready!  Summer is always nice to look forward to, but quickly gets boring without the regular schedule of classes, events and the like that the school year offers.

Our August newsletter is scheduled to go out today for those of you that have signed up to receive it.  It has come to our attention that we do have a number of readers of our blogs that simply want to read what's going on without actually signing up to receive our newsletters.  For those of you that just want to "visit" us, we  want to make available to you our huge sale of clothing patterns for plus size children.  These patterns are the most popular patterns from our PlusSizeChildren website and for the first time ever, due to the way the current economy has played havoc with jobs and income for a large number of our readers, we are doing a short term special offer on the patterns.  We would like to do our part in helping to get kids ready for school, so feel like making available our best sellers at a killer price would help to keep some of those dollars in the parents' pockets.

Check out the special pattern prices on our best selling plus size children patterns - like I said, this is the first time ever that we've made this offer, and probably will be the only time it's available (we're hoping the economy does a turnaround, so we all have a little more money in our pockets!!)  Thanks for checking them out, and we hope we're helping out with the school expenses.
