Spring Cleaning part 2 :Outgrown clothes

-


Every year it's the same thing. The kids grow. Then we are left with the dilemma of what to do with all the outgrown clothes that we end up with. For some of this it's easy. We can simply pass down what is too small to the younger child. In my case I have a boy and a girl, so for the most part, that isn't an option. Here are some ways to utilize those clothes. 

This year I made 2 boxes. 1 box for the consignment shop and the other for donation. While most people probably do the same thing, i've came across some great alternatives. So if you want to maybe keep the outgrown clothes, here are some ideas: 
Keep the old clothes for patches. I've seen some really cool quilts made from shirts people's kid's have outgrown. 
A girl and a gluegun shares the cutest quilts made with baby's clothes, you can find out how to make one yourself here.
Another great idea is a program I discovered at H&M. Find out more about Garment collecting at H&M. 

And as always, I'd love to hear your ideas! Share below!!

If you have tried the Taco Bell Crunchwraps in the morning, you already know what inspired this. If you haven't. go to Taco Bell first, then try these. They aren't Taco Bell, but they are pretty good. These are semi-homemade. I used simply potatoes hash browns. For those of you who have time to make them fresh, I'm sure they would be even better. Ingredients. 1 sausage patty/or 2 slices of bacon 1 egg - scrambled 1 serving of simply potatoes hash browns (or make your own) cheddar cheese queso+salsa dip Brown the sausage and potatoes first (they take the longest) make your scrambled egg Get a tortilla (I use the burrito size ones for mine) Then assemble. I put the hash browns first, then sauce so the sausage stays, then sausage, egg and top with shredded cheese.  Fold and brown each side ENJOY!!  Do you like this recipe? Share it!
