Go Green... with your kids summer clothes

Everyone is trying to save MONEY!! Everyone is trying to go GREEN!! Buying summer clothes for your kids at a second hand shop isn't a new idea, but it saving money and going green at the same time. Recycling doesn't have to only be about your cans and newspaper. While living out of the country I learned that recycling or going green was also about using the things you have on hand such as; fruit in season and local products. This cuts down on the gas driving out of season strawberries to where you live or the wood used build a deck. This was a new idea for me! I had never thought about it before!

Sarah clothes I bought from Once Upon a Child. I found almost new clothes and name brands. Not pictured above, I also bought her 3 more dresses, 5 skirts 2 outfits and 4 pairs of shorts, and Joshua 2 outfits (I spent around $100). For Joshua, I asked friends who had little boys for their hand-me-downs. People were happy to give me their clothes. I received 5 trash bags full of 3T, 4T, & 5T sizes of clothes for him and they were FREE! Not only did this save a ton of money, we were also saving those clothes from ending up in a dump some where down the road.
