Funnily enough, I'm covering this (my love of shopping and the family dynamic) on the blog tomorrow as I introduce my latest giveaway. <br /><br />I have a female friend who hates anything too girly. She was lucky to have two boys but then a little cute girly girl arrived on the scene and she finds it hard with this side of things.

If I want something, I go in and get it and then get the hell out of there. I am not a browser and I'm certainly not one of those people who will compare items and prices across the whole city. I just want what I want and then I'm outta there. This is why I like to order stuff online where I can! ;-) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-60043091460487454102016-03-14T16:24:15.162-07:002016-03-14T16:24:15.162-07:00Sounds like my seven year old.

I only like browsing the shops if I have the money to spend, otherwise it's quite boring. <br />I don't think it hurts to broaden their horizons. The trick is taking notice and nurturing a passion when they find it. <br />It has to be something they want to do and love to do, and not something you want for them though. <br /><br />One Mother Henhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12928028285580684170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-5765019133617283102016-03-13T22:37:56.335-07:002016-03-13T22:37:56.335-07:00I am a firm believer in letting your child decidin...I am a firm believer in letting your child deciding what they enjoy. What I like often isn't what they enjoy and what they like to do definitely isn't my cup of tea. <br /><br />I don't really love shopping either. I much prefer to see my bank balance grow. #MummyMondaysKell | All Mum Saidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06123066992851547341noreply@blogger.com
