Ever-engaged mothers eternally look for options to simplify their daily activities. It is not easy getting rid of outgrown clothes along with all of the other things your family, house, and job demands of you. An easy way of ridding yourself of baby clothes that your kids have outgrown organized is to use three boxes.
To begin with, it is of prime importance that the boxes are labeled, so that it is clear what should go in which box. It will help a lot to write something on the boxes that make them identifiable. Be sure to write the words "little Johnny's outgrown baby clothes" on them. One box should be labeled as "give away". Make sure you have the word "sell" written on a separate box. Now, on the final box, write the words "To be tossed". Use that throwaway box for your clothing items which cannot be fixed or have stains on them, but donate other clothing.
Those old baby clothes should be organized now! Go through the collection of clothes quickly. First instincts are mostly right anytime. Place each item in a logical box or bin. Check to see if the clothes are new and have not been worn. Consigning them to the "sell" list would be a fine option. If they are no longer going to be worn, but are still in decent shape, then these are the clothes for the "donation" box. Is that a big yogurt stain on that bib? Just put it directly into the '"to be tossed" box. Throw out the last box, putting it next to the trash and recycling bins. Instead of discarding away all those clothes to the garbage dump, it is quite likely that somebody might find them worth using and might pick up the box they are put in. They may even have a use for them for pets' bedding etc.
After the separating is finished, you should take the boxes or bins into the garage or car. If a certain person can utilize the "free" box, just bring it directly to them. If that isn't the case, then it's time for you and the box to take a trip down to your neighborhood thrift store. You should immediately begin trying to get rid of your "sell items" on web sites or trading spots in your area. There are consignment stores in some towns where you can sell your old baby clothes. Those stores have two options of either store credit or cash against clothes brought in by the moms. For trash day put the "throw away" box out at your curb. If you want to get rid of some items, place them into a box labeled "free" and it will soon be taken.
