In 2010 I challenged myself to buying nothing new and it was a challenge indeed, but a wonderful one. Now that 2011 is here I'm going to share with you all that I have learned and hope to learn.

Uh-oh
So I'm a little disappointed in myself. This past summer I tried to score as many clothes for the next 9 months for both kids that I could. I bought TONS of stuff in their current size and the size up in appropriate seasons...you know the drill. I scored on lots of stuff at garage sales and from friends who have bigger kids. Well, today one of the things on my to-do list was to go through Miss A's "too big" clothes bag under her bed. It's a garbage bag full of clothes and shoes. Well, I couldn't pull anything out. There were 4 pairs of shoes for J Bear to wear this summer, 6 pairs of fleece jammies that are too big for Miss A and a few random things that are still way too big (5t).
She's moving into a 4t now and I remember thinking to myself this past summer that she wouldn't be in a 4t until summer 2011, because she had just moved into 3t in August. So, I have to go shopping soon and the thrift stores have slim pickings right now on in-season kid's clothes. Wish me luck :)
Is anybody else itching for garage sale season to get here???
I probably have a bag of in season 4Ts to give you - I'll try to go through L's clothes this week. :)
