It's time for Making Your Home a Haven Monday hosted by Crystal at Biblical Womanhood. She says:
"Nothing can keep your home from being a peaceful haven more than clutter can, so in an effort to make our homes more of a warm and welcoming abode, we're declaring war on clutter this week."
Today I tackled my girls' clothes. Between things I buy them, hand-me-downs, and gifts from grandparents, my girls have a ridiculous amount of clothes. Today I went through their closet and dresser drawers and even the plastic bin I had set aside for Summer. I have worked on it ALL day (while the rest of the house fell apart around me). I made two piles. One pile of cute things in good condition and one of things that need repairs or are stained.
I thought it would be fun to combine getting rid of clutter with a giveaway, so I want to give away the "good" pile of clothes. They are mostly winter clothes, but there are summer clothes too. The clothes range from size 7/8 to 10/12. The following pictures show some of the items that will be included, but not all.
If you would like to enter, just leave a comment with a way to contact you (either your blog address or your email address). I will have one of my daughters draw the name. You can enter until Wednesday, April 23rd at midnight Central time. We will draw the name Thursday after school.
This is my first time to host a giveaway so I am really excited! :)

I hate sorting clothes for my 3 kids! It's such a huge job, but it feels great when it's finished. I'd love to win your clothes for my daugther. They're very cute.

What a super idea! Please count me in! Thanks!
I have just found your blog through Terri's blog. Lots of great ideas and I need all the help I can get! My little girl is only 4 but I keep any clothes I can get for her & we put them away until we need them. Great idea so please count me in! I look forward to reading more on here.

Thanks for the offer. My DD is 7, so she would love these. She doesn't get hand me downs like my little ones do. doug-tonya@sbcglobal.net
Clutter...yikes. This was perfect timing for me. I'm going to get busy with my own de-cluttering project today.
Thank you for the post.
Blessings,

What a great job - high five to ya! Please enter me in your drawing! My oldest is now in a size 7/8 and has NO ONE to hand down to her! :)
Oooh, and I have girls that size! I'm afraid most of their stuff fell into the stained pile.
Great idea for a give-away...My oldest would love these! We love to sort and move along items...giving them to other kids that we know. Blessings for all!

What a great idea! I found your blog through Crystal's, and have had fun reading! My girl is just that size, and would love some "hand me downs" as she is the oldest, and doesn't get them often.

I just "stumbled upon" (linked from another site, sorry, I don't recall which one), lots of inspirational ideas!
Cute outfits, maybe I'll win them!

Why don't you put a basket or hamper in your kids' rooms just for stuff to get rid of? Tell them to put clothes and shoes in there that they don't like or that doesn't fit any more. Then you won't have to do nearly so much work; you will just have to go through it periodically and toss the stuff that's not worth saving and then dole the rest out to younger sibilings or the yard sale table.
I keep a trashbag in our closet so as soon as we find that we don't want something, it goes in the bag; when it's full, I take it to Goodwill.
