Today, Heather shares a handy denim (and money!) saving solution:

My active 3.5 year old boys have been blowing through the knees of their jeans well before the rest of the denim shows wear. And while ripped jeans may be fashionable, my boys are taking it to the extreme! I thus was happy to find that Lee makes a reasonably priced jean with a "double tough" reinforced knee, and I was even happier that they come with an inner adjustable waist to accommodate growth. The jeans are really holding up great and I have been able to find them at Sears and Kohl's. So while I still cringe with every jump, climb, fall, and slide, at least I no longer have to add new jeans to my shopping list!
