[…] Host a clothing swap. Gather all your friends and have a clothes swap. Everybody can bring their kid’s old clothes that they have either outgrown or are simply tired of. It gives you and your friends the chance to catch-up and socialize while refreshing your kids wardrobe and saving money. Bonus: gather your friends who wear the same size as you do for a clothes swap of your own (I did this 5 years ago and it was a blast. You can read more about it HERE). […]

What a great idea. I’ve heard of clothing swaps but the charity aspect is great. Love the catsuit.

No wonder we’re such good friends! Great minds think alike 😉 Can’t wait to hear the big news. You’ll have to make some room for the little one, that’s for sure. Our intire main floor has now turned into a small Toys R Us for Kyle. So soon now for you – I can’t believe it. I’m so excited for you guys. xoxo

You are too funny. I so woulda loved to be there, I think Jeremy would’ve wanted me to be there too!! I am thee biggest hoarder he’s ever met. He can’t believe how much clothes I have….when I think I really have nothing to wear most the time! 🙂 I think I only recently got rid of some stuff you past on to me many many years ago. hahaha
I also have to comment on the hoarding of the class notes and love letters, what a good laugh -as I have done the same (threw everything else out and just kept some of those) I did get rid of some irrelevant ones…but still I had a good chuckle to myself and could all of a sudden see us sitting on the floor of your room or my room going through some of that stuff, and adding to it!!
I am loving your blog by the way, some great advice…getting nervous and excited for the big day- less than 3 weeks to go. (hopefully!!)

Ohhh! Tnx for sharing Dawn! Such great ideas. I will def try to do something like that for next year. Maybe we will do it twice a year as well. I like the kids clothes idea too – just have to get our friends going on that 😉 miss you.

awesome night Maya – wish I could have been there to try on the cat suit!!! In squamish we do it in the fall and the spring! Over the years we’ve added (and taken away) men’s clothes as well as kids clothes or shoes. We’ve also started to showcase a local artizan for the evening to show off their homemade collections for purchase, or foodie’s homemade goodies, etc that they usually sell at the farmers market. SO FUN and everyone leaves a happy camper 🙂 great post!
