I am vulnerable today, dealing with some bad news. Knowing that we passed on something that could be used by one we love just made my day. Seriously. What a lovely thought from you. Thank you so much. I needed this, especially today. I don’t know why this made me cry, but it did. I am vulnerable today, dealing with some bad news.

I saved all of Baylee's clothes so when I had another child (hopefully a girl) we would have clothes. Low and behold we had another girl and the sizes have almost worked out perfectly! Hugs - Tiffany I LOVE hand me downs! I saved all of Baylee’s clothes so when I had another child (hopefully a girl) we would have clothes.

We were recently blessed with a huge amount of hand me down clothes and I was shocked to see the price tags still on many of the items. It took me 3 days to go through the clothes and sort them by size and season, but I now have lots of clothes for all of my kids(for the next few years!) and I also have 17 bags of clothes that were too small for my crew that I will be taking to a battered women's shelter tomorrow. Twice a year, I also shop at a huge local consignment sale....on the 50% off day :) We love free clothes here too!

Everyone brings their clothing about to be donated to the thrift store and they're sorted in bags by size (and we're talking adult clothing, too). The clothing is put out on tables and everyone can rummage through and get what they need, whether they donated or not. The clothes left over were then taken to a family church party, where they were rummaged through again. Whatever was left went to the thrift store. It was GREAT!!!
