Re: How/what to pack - outgrown clothes

I didn't keep everything- I tossed the stained/really beat up clothes- but since DD has alot of clothes, very few got tossed.

We got space bags from Linens and Things- and put them all in there, and took all the air out and put them in the attic!

Re: How/what to pack - outgrown clothes

Like a lot of the PP, I am using the Rubbermaid bins and storing everything by age/size. Anything that was big, goes into the next size up's bin.

Just a PSA - don't use the BIG ziplock storage bags. My girlfriend did and when she went to use it 2 years later, everything was all yellow. She had to throw EVERYTHING away!

I have already passed along all DS's 0 - 3 month stuff and I'm just waiting from our frieds to move into their new place so we can give them the rest. She will keep everything in good shape and pass it along back to me if/when I need it.

I have no been keeping everything. I keep those that still have tags on, things we have brought him & things my sister & my dad have brought him. Everything else I donate. Even with this I 4 bins full. I think I am going to have to go through them again to get rid of some more.

I'm keeping them in the attic in rubbermaid bins sorted by size.



I love this idea of storing them by size!!!!



I sort them by size
0-3
3-6 amd so on

and I label them. I also do this with the clothes that my SIL gives me. So when DD was ready for 6-9 I pulled the bin down and it went straight to the wash.

Well my first question would be - do you plan to have more?

Me - I doubt it - so I am saving some stuff for friends if they want it. Things with tags still on I am going to try to sell on ebay or craiglist and if they don't go, I will take them to Once Upon a Child.

Right now everything is in 2 drawers in Alex's closet...


what is ONCE UPON A CHILD???

I keep everything and put it in bins according to size. I keep it in the attic and in the basement. Once we are done having children, then I will get rid of stuff. But not yet.

I had kept everything in bins according to size but it got too overwhelming so I either took them to Once Upon a Child, donated them, or passed them along to friends.
