I love to give things to other people.

I have been lucky enough to have friends pass on their daughters' clothes to me for my girls. I have appreciated it so much. Some of the clothes were not my favorite, or weren't the right sizes, or were the wrong season. But it was so great to have people that thought of me and my girls. And some of the stuff was so flippin cute!

So as my girls outgrow their clothes, and believe me that is about every other day, I try to pass them on. Today, a friend came over and went through two huge bags of girl clothes for her daughter. I was so happy to be rid of it, and she was so happy to receive it. In case you didn't know, that is what one could call a 'win-win situation'.

Another thing that makes this 'passing of the clothes' thing so great is the amount of use each article of clothing is getting. I am not really a 'green' person, even though that is my favorite color! However, I am trying to be more eco-friendly. I have big plans for my family when we get back to the states: buying as many USA products as possible, membership to a co-op, etc. But right now, I am not doing as much as I should to save my planet and all that good stuff. So passing on clothes, and receiving clothes that are being passed to me, is my personal recycling 'thing' for now.
