Moms: Is Chasing Fireflies a bunch of crap?

Pick out the two most expensive things, fill out the check, deposit it, buy the girls something new but inexpensive, then buy yourself something nice?

I have never heard of it.

Which is fine, because there is nowayinhell I would buy an $80 hunk of tulle.

I would wear all of that stuff.

I thought the post title was honestly about chasing fireflies. I was imaging all sorts of animal/bug activists writings posts about not chasing fireflies with your kids because it's cruel and inhumane. And then I flashed back to all of the torture that I did to the poor fireflies in my youth.

All this before I hovered and saw what the post was about.

I've bought things from there. Not overpriced things. I think one was a halloween costume that they had an even better price on than buycostumes.com, and possibly that's where the wooden work bench came from, which was slightly overpriced.

A lot of that stuff is way over the top. NMS, but hey.

That kid looks like she's begging for her dignity back

We have exactly one thing from Chasing Fireflies - a little red hen dress that my mom bought DD2 for some family pictures.

It's super cute and has worn pretty well.



I love their Halloween costume catalogs, but pretty much I just sigh and wishfully-think about ordering. Some of their dresses are adorable; a lot of their clothes are sort of stylish-retro or kiddie-fashion-plate-stylized. I think a lot of it is designed to appeal to grandparents with $$$ to spend!

p.s., that is not my kid. Because I am a shameless AW, here is my kid in the dress (with her big sister):

The CF halloween costumes are the same crap as regular costumes. Not worth it.
