I held a clothing swap last weekend for 15+ girlfriends of mine and I. What's more fun than shopping 15+ closets?! We enjoyed champagne mimosas, fattening sweets and each other's company and everyone left with "new" duds! I can't wait to host another swap for the spring!
At the end of the day, we bagged up about 10 garbage bags full of clothes that will be donated to the Destiny House.
Dustin helped wrangle the kids, set up the tables and even offered to watch the toddlers upstairs so the other Mom's could have a kid-free hour or two. What'a guy.
Amanda, Sofia & my Mom came to help me set up..... Isn't Amanda a little hottie?
Landon wasn't interested in all of this girlie stuff.
Tracy & Kristy came and nursed their baby girls with me.
Oh, you didn't realize they were breastfeeding? Yep, they are. Who knew you could feed your baby,
without a cover (gasp!) and STILL be totally modest about it?

Thank you, ladies for coming to the clothing swap. I had such a fun time with all of you!
I love seeing pictures of you taken by someone else. Especially nursing your beautiful baby girl. Wow. It IS so modest, and you are glowing, you're so beautiful Chels. I love you so much and really admire and look up to you.
ReplyDeleteI've never been to a clothing swap, how exactly does it work? Do you trade something for something or is it just a free for all?? I've been thinking of doing that too!
ReplyDeletePS photos are precious!!!
