Everyone at church gives us bags and bags of toys, clothes, bedding, etc. The baby ended up with 45 24mth long sleeve shirts this year. Did I mention that we live in a warm state!?

Their description of 'giving' included time and STUFF!! That's been a change for me, but in the last year, I've gotten much better about giving away stuff.

If there's a day I don't get to work on it, oh well.<BR/><BR/>I have homeschooled for nine years. I have enough curriculum for preK-12. On top of all that STUFF, I am a crafter.

Do you ever try to sell things or just always donate/give-away? I'm currently going through our baby stuff as we believe our family is complete and find it hard to just give away??? Any advice, especially with baby Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10016587694215979714noreply@blogger.com
