It's been a rough summer so far for the Gosselin 10. Since the couple, Jon and Kate, have announced they are taking legal steps to dissolve their 10-year marriage, many of Kate's business deals have been put on hold. First TLC announced that their popular show, Jon and Kate Plus Eight, is on hiatus. Then, her upcoming book, Love Is in the Mix: Making Meals into Memories has been delayed. And now, it seems her clothing line with Healthtex has also fallen victim to the Jon and Kate fallout.

Prior to the couple's seperation, Kate was working with Healthtex to create a line of kids' clothes. Walmart will be selling Heathtex's fall line in their stores, but Kate will not be involved with the line. It is unclear whether or not the partnership will rekindle at a later time.

Mid-summer sales are great, but only if you shop wisely. I've seen too many moms rush to the back rack of their favorite kids' fashion store and snatch up anything in their kids' sizes. Sure buying 6 pairs of $4 shorts really does seem like a bargain, but only if your kid is going to wear them. Most often, we tend to focus too much on the deeply discounted prices and not enough on what's practical, leading to overspending on items that will get minimal use. The smart shopper uses sales to maximize savings and diversify her kids' wardrobes. You must go into each and every sale with a plan of attack and only then will you truly save money.

My Plan of Attack for Mid-Summer Sales

• Before you hit the shops take a quick inventory check. See what your kids have and what they don't. Can they make it through the rest of the summer with their current wardrobes? If they've already covered their shorts and tees in grass stains that just won't budge, go ahead and pick up a few summer items, but try to find the best deals.
• Hopefully, your kids are already set this summer. If so, shop the sales but think ahead. based on your child's current size and typical growth rate, try to calculate sizes for next summer. Summer clothes are the most forgiving when it comes to buying ahead; a size up or down for shorts just varies the length, especially now that so many kids' bottoms have adjustable waists. Summer dresses can also be easily wearable for a couple of seasons.
• Grab year-round staples if you can find them. Socks, underwear, tees, pajamas and accessories often go on sale with mid-summer items; always try to buy these on sale and in bulk.
• Think about fall. I know it sounds crazy, but you can find tons of layering pieces in mid-summer sales. The same tank that is sold now as a summer top will be sold in the stores as a laying piece in fall. Tanks, tees and even summer dresses look great for back-to-school when paired with long sleeved tees, cardigans, hoodies and more.
• Last but never least, have fun. If you see something that maybe isn't the most practical item, but is on sale and at a great price, go ahead and treat yourself.

As the kids' fashion industry grows, more and more kids' fashion designers are putting out kids' clothes that for some, pushing the envelope. Some parents see nothing wrong with letting their kids and tweens express themselves through fashion, and let them make their own fashion choices. Other parents have strict rules. What styles do you hate to see on preteens? What do you find offensive or inappropriate on young girls and boys? Or, do you think it's all fair game.
