reduce, reuse, recycle

I'm taking a moment here. This is a photo of bags of baby and kids clothes in our living room. I'm donating them all this afternoon to a local church.  I'm taking Cameron and Jamie with me because we've talked about giving these clothes away to other people who need them.  I had a trip down memory lane as I sorted through everything. Baby clothes are so tiny!

Toys will be one of our next projects but they seem a little more difficult to donate due to all sorts of regulations around paint on toys etc. Any ideas out there?

So tough to give all those little tiny clothes away Miranda!! The toys shouldn't be a problem as they they have delayed the CPSIA regulations until next year.

There's a type of consignment store around here that will give me money for many of my clothes and toys. The ones that they won't take I will donate. I'll then put that money in their college savings.
