*Image above via TBBC, featuring an adorable jon jon, which will be available for $23 (incl shipping!) starting at 10 A.M. this morning.
Starting this morning at 10 A.M. EST, TBBC will be offering an extra 50% off and free shipping (!) on its sale section. This is always a frenzy, with pieces selling out in a hot minute. I would stock your cart just prior to go time in a few minutes and check out ASAP. My top picks:
+Polly play dresses (select patterns) — only $15 shipped!!! These are great staples for camp/school everyday wear. This is my top priority this sale launch! I want to get a bunch for mini. Also easy to throw on over a swimsuit on way to/from pool. I would take your daughter’s true size in this. I find the brand generally runs narrow but long.
+Night nights for girls or boys — these will certainly be the first thing to go, with some pajama sets as inexpensive as $15 (shipped!). I find these run narrow and snug, and they will shrink when dried (I always run through the washing machine and dryer), so I would size up. Hoping to snag these for mini.
+Sheffield shorts — only $18 in select patterns. These are so cute and have a short inseam (which I prefer). Run a tiny bit small.
+Sweatshirts — on sale for $17. These are such a great buy — an elevated take on a fall/winter essential. I love the fun patterns. This bow style is my favorite for mini, but they have a bunch on sale; I have this striped one in my cart for micro. Pair with white leggings (for girls) and jeans (for boys) for an easy fall look.
+Patterned slickers for boys or girls — I have bought a few of these over the years and you just can’t beat the prints. Adorable. I specifically like them for spring/summer showers because they are unlined. A lot of the other rain jackets we’ve owned are lined in cotton, which is great for cooler weather. These are very light. I always get asked after them when the children wear them!
+Dorothy day dresses — gingham, windowpane, etc. I really love this style because it can grow with the child. I’ve stretched to make this dress fit in one size across two seasons.
+Children’s luggage — the duffels are only $21! Great for travel. I’m hoping to snag one for each child for our upcoming trips this summer. Their weekenders are also cute – a tiny bit smaller but great for overnight trips or even camp, day trips, etc.
+Cheryl shorts — cute for camp!
+Select jon jons only $23! I am picky about patterns on jon jons because sometimes I feel the pattern, combined with the style’s cut, can read too cutesy. This checked one is adorable.

The TBBC sale is my Super Bowl!!! Just kidding, but you can’t beat the prices, especially for the high quality basics. I only wish there was more for the toddler boy squad (polos in particular)!
Ha!! I agree – it’s a great time to stock up. xx
Long time follower and very big fan here. I’m surprised that you haven’t said anything about Roe v. Wade being overturned. Did I miss that? Would love to hear your thoughts.
Hi Shauna – Thank you so much for the note and compliment. I’m so glad to have you here. I have thought of little else the past few days. At the same time, I have had a longtime policy of publishing my way through intense political and social periods with alternative content. I know this feels tone-deaf to some and like a relief to others. I empathize with both sides, but this, after a lot of reflection, remains my chosen approach.
Thank you again for your readership.
