Also, we find families with kids older or younger than our kids, and we gladly solicit them to give or accept hand-me-downs. Why not recycle clothes too!!!?

Just had to buy her a lunchbox, and then the second year she really wanted a backpack, which lasted her through kindergarten, which isn't too bad considering the abuse she gave it. We may be getting handmedown clothes for my daughter soon too. My sister's girls are a year older and a year younger, but both wear the same size and are wearing larger clothes than my daughter. I sure won't turn them away! That’s how it was when I started my daughter in preschool too.

Her birthday is coming up soon and we are part of a community of families that pass clothes on so buying clothes is not something that we "have" to do plus her birthday and Christmas are coming up so there's another reason not to bu them. But the lunch bag was something I needed. I will be ordering something from "reusable bags" soon but like everything else it's a money issue.
