Saw a post on Freecycle for someone looking for 6-12m baby girl clothes. What do you know, I just sorted through our little one's things and had a bag full of 6/9m clothes, just waiting to donate. It felt good to know that they were not going to waste, that they were no longer taking up space in my home, and that they were going to bring smiles to another family. I'm sentimentally attached to a few of the items, but that's why we have pictures.

Spring has definitely launched us into a bit of cleaning. We're changing around our space to get the most bang for our buck. More play area, less chaos. A number of things are no longer needed or desired, so that's going to be helping with my numbers (I hope!).

Oh how I love Freecycle. Not only did I get myself some broken crayons for free (for the wee one), but managed to get rid of some things that we've had lying around. Joy!

I am really falling behind these days! I'm not exactly sure how many items per day I should be averaging, but I'm guessing I should be somewhere in the 400s by now. Alas.

However, I did make someone's day today on Freecyle, which in turn made me rather happy as well. We just received quite a few hand-me-downs for the wee one, and we were finally able to hand-me-down some things ourselves. Yay!
