How I keep up with my children's growing feet!

Hi y'all!  :)
This morning I am going to share how I keep up with the near constant growth of my children's feet!
 About six or seven months ago one of my little ones started complaining that their shoes were hurting their feet. I checked their shoes and sure enough they were WAY too small! I found this great printable shoe sizing chart >>  "Size 'em right" Shoe sizing chart, printed it and was shocked to find his feet had grown 2 1/2 sizes since the last time I had checked!! 0.0
Since we try to avoid buying new shoes for children (because not only do they grow out of them quickly, they tear them up!), we try to buy the next shoe size up before they need them. 
Now what I do is once every 6-8 weeks I pull out my sizing chart, measure everyone's feet and write the sizes and date on a sticky note and keep it in my wallet. Now whenever I am at goodwill and they have shoes half off or a bunch of new additions to the racks I don't have to guess sizes and can buy for current needs and future needs if they have what I am looking for! 
Not only has it helped us avoid sore feet and squished toes, it has helped us save a lot of money! We spend $0.99-$1.99 per pair of shoes and $1.49-$2.99 per pair of boots, that is a BIG savings compared to even the clearance shoes at shoe stores or even Wal-Mart! 
I hope this information is helpful, until next time!
