Re: whats your fav splurge for yor kids??
We take lots of vacations ( not only for the kids, but for us as a family in general)
Clothes ( I'm ridiculous with this  )
Photos ( again I'm ridiculous with this also )
And both my kids have a silly amount of toys ( and give my DS a ball and he's happy  )

Re: whats your fav splurge for yor kids??
Events and Outings and vacations. we travel a lot, not major things, but weekends away, we hit practically every festival that comes to town, be it church festivals, Octoberfests, etc.
I'm all out getting out and about and seeing things, even if it is just right up the street.
Both my kids have their own skymiles cards!

Re: whats your fav splurge for yor kids??
I don't usually buy them expensive clothes (I love Target clothes!), but I buy them both too much. DS is nearly growing out of 3-6 months quickly & he still has outfits he's never worn & things he's only worn once or twice. Same with DD. We'll find things in her drawers that she hasn't worn in forever because we forgot about it.

its so silly, but ice cream.
on our walks we pass an ice cream shop.
He's good, he doesn't ask all the time, but sometimes he does, so we stop in for a cone.
sounds silly, but I am a real cheap a$$.
spending 3.00 on a cone when that could buy 1/2 gallon kills me, but he's such a good boy we buy it and go sit by the train tracks.
so cute

Re: whats your fav splurge for yor kids??
I buy a lot of organic foods- but I don't consider that a splurge.
I splurge of Molly and Jason shoes. Molly just got the cutest pair of Micheal Kors boots...Jason has wide feet so it is hard to find him inexpensive shoes.
I also have Jason in Little Sluggers baseball lessons. It is a bit expensive and he could live without it so IMO that is a splurge.
And birthday parties..of course I could small in-home parties but I enjoy really having a big party for them.

It may sound boring, but buying DD organic milk, fruit and veggies. She would prob. be fine with regular. But DH and I both feel better about feeding her milk with no added hormones and certain fruit/veggies with no pesticides.
It is expensive, but it is a choice we have made.
Same here and also DD's bath products, lotions, sunscreens etc are mainly organic.
I also splurge on strollers (love my Bugaboo) and I love Geox sneakers.

Re: whats your fav splurge for yor kids??
Hmmm...I do some of the things mentioned already...
My favorite though is her Mustela bath & lotion products. Total splurge, as some less expensive brands work just fine...I happen to find the scents delicious and can't resist

Re: whats your fav splurge for yor kids??
All of Chloe and Jacobs activities- between the 2 of them it is a small fortune
Day Camp ( full day 9-4)-- worth every penny. It is very expensive!!! I already did the early bird for next summer!!!
CLothes- boutique style clothes for both Jacob and Chloe

Re: whats your fav splurge for yor kids??
Clothes, I can't help myself either. I only buy a few expensive outfits and then the rest I buy from target, Kohls, etc...
Organic food, of course I just started him on food, but I will be buying organic.
Professional pictures
We will always travel alot, but only because we are big travelers. I don't really find that to be splurging on the kids though, because it is something for the whole family.

Re: whats your fav splurge for yor kids??
Name brand clothes and shoes! My son probably has a Lacoste shirt in every color. I just LOVE the way he looks in them. My DD, probably owns every item from Denny's. I just love the style of their clothes. Shoes, forget it, you name it they have them!

Re: whats your fav splurge for yor kids??
toys toys and more toys! pretty much, if someone on here says their dc (around my dc's age) likes a toy, i get it. it doesn't matter how big or how much $$, i just want him to have everything. but i figure his baby bro will be getting use out of it too one day.
although they have a ton, i'm a bargain shopper for most of their 'play' clothes.
i do spend a ton on prof. pics and my own camera gear. but that's really for me.
josh did eat lobster on my bday this week too.

Re: whats your fav splurge for yor kids??
Clothes, with out a doubt!!! I am embarrassed to tell my mom and MIL now when i go shopping because they just think I am INSANE! Hailey has 15 pairs of shoes in her closet right now! In my defense, that includes rain boots, easter shoes, hand me downs, and anything from winter that still fit her. I would spend my last dollar on clothes for her and I know how rediculous it is.

Re: whats your fav splurge for yor kids??
This might sound dumb but Jacob loves the pretzels from the mall (Auntie Anne's and Pretzel Time). On Sundays I take him and buy him a pretzel and a drink. He loves it and asks for it all the time!

It may sound boring, but buying DD organic milk,
Dh and I do the milk too.. I dont want her having the extra hormones that are in reg. milk. Afraid of her developing the breast tissue too young.
