Little Adventures

For the past two weeks I've been helping out at my husband's work. He recently got a new job and works for a company called Little Adventures. They make cute dress up clothes for kids and Lance is the Senior Marketing Manager for the company.

Every time they get inventory in they check (I believe) 100 of the items and if more then a certain percentage are defective they have to check the entire inventory. Well unfortunately their latest inventory had to many defectives from the 100 they checked, so they now had to check the entire inventory.

Lance knew I didn't work on Tuesday's and Thursday's so he gladly volunteered me to help out on those days, which I was happy to do. What's nice is they pay you to come do this so I didn't mind the extra income either.

There were two kinds of dresses and some headbands that we were to sort through and check for defects. The dresses each came in sizes S-XL and every size had 3-4 boxes, each with 50 dresses inside. If you do the math that's a lot of dresses to sort through, plus there were over 700 headbands!


This is one of the dresses we had to check. It's called Winter Beauty and it is so cute!!


I didn't think to take pictures till most of the inventory had already been sorted, but here are some of the boxes of dresses that still needed to be checked. It may not look like much but again each box has 50 dresses inside.


Here are some boxes of dresses that had been checked and were in good condition to sell. The other dress we had to check is the yellow one in this picture. I forgot to take a picture of that dress, but that dress is also very cute!


These two boxes are filled with all the dresses we found defective. That is so many dresses and what's sad is they just had little mistakes that caused them to be defective. The company will sell these defective dresses at their warehouse sale.


There were two other ladies who came to help with the inventory but they had to leave at 2:00 to pick up their kids from school, so I was left by myself for a couple of hours.


I had to get a picture of my handsome husband hard at work.


It was a lot of work sorting through all those dresses but I enjoyed my time there. It was fun getting to be with Lance all day plus meeting all the wonderful people he works with. I'm so grateful he got this job. Not only does he enjoy working at Little Adventures but the people there are great and treat him so good!

  1. Ugh-o-rama! So sorry you had to be in on that defective mess! I guess a little payment doesn't hurt, but I'm still not sure i'd do it!
