I've had to make some huge changes after I got married for sure! Now my kids are having fun testing me in this area by always being so darn messy.Virginia Revoirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12426979985073932937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-14119511168670562582009-11-30T23:19:10.558-06:002009-11-30T23:19:10.558-06:00I save my kids clothes too.

I don't hoard but I do like to keep things from getting cluttered because then it makes it harder to clean house.

Just to save money and re-purpose.<br /><br />However the zookeeper is a keeper. he never wants to throw anything away and it came in handy when making a list of things that were stolen. Now he is pointing to that little incident as a major triumph for him. heheZimms Zoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07671798321373854716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-36532659380694731822009-11-30T03:11:32.858-06:002009-11-30T03:11:32.858-06:00I'm with Sue.

So, I have kept up that tradition hoping it means we get another baby. So far we have been blessed with hand me downs when we need them and I feel confident that will continue should there be a third baby Payne.

I think hubby and I are very much the same. We tend to keep things thinking we'll use them, then when things get too tight we do a purge and throw away or recycle everything that isn't nailed down. <br /><br />I kept all baby clothes until almost three years passed after my second kid and no next baby. After giving them all away I promptly got pregnant, of course! After that I decided that the best way to get another baby was to give away all the baby clothes ;-). With the third kid, and now with the fourth I have given away everything but my very favorites when they're outgrown. I know God will provide through hand-me-downs from friends if we have another - He always has. <br /><br />I do have all my maternity clothes, though, because they are too expensive to repurchase, since I have to order them from the US (most Japanese ones are too small).Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09508033779758406137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-43452210831168526512009-11-29T18:13:00.224-06:002009-11-29T18:13:00.224-06:00I'm way to much of a hoarder and my kids have ...I'm way to much of a hoarder and my kids have gotten it from me.

I save old socks, cut them up and use them as rags, nylons to use in the garden, empty plastic coffee cans for EVERYTHING, and compost all veggies, fruit, coffee grounds, and newspapers. When it makes sense, I save jars. We don't have a nearby recycling center, which I really hate. <br /><br />CBD--I know God personally and I'm fairly confident that he has better taste.Mary O.
