Shannon at [1] Rocks in My Dryer has written that she is switching her boys’ clothes from one season to another and is feeling at the end of her rope over it. She inspired me to write about my best ever seasonal - or size - clothing switch.

 Last week when Grandma Joyce and Aunt Karin were visiting, I sweet-talked Aunt Karin into joining me in Reid’s room while I went through her drawers. Aunt Karin packed up the clothes that I was designating as “too small” as I set them aside. She even got through a backlog pile of clothes that had been piling up.  When we left the room, Reid had drawers full of clothes that fit and were warm enough for the Ottawa fall and winter and Aunt Karin had boxes to pass along to friends and family who have smaller kids.

My recommendation for switching seasonal clothing:  invite your sister, tag team the project and get the boxes right out of the house. I usually falter on the last step.
