A Clothing Swap:

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? 
April, Aubry & Alicia came!
Drea admired a sleeping Elle. I think her baby fever is in full force! 
Sarah & Sofia hanging out in the dressing room:
Whoopie pies & brownies.
 Whitney & Randi chatting away.
 Paulina browsing:
 Madi trying on a pair of pretty flats:
(I wish I had gotten a picture of everyone that was there.)
Thank you, ladies for coming to the clothing swap. I had such a fun time with all of you!

  2. I'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!

    PS photos are precious!!!

  7. I LOVE CLOTHING SWAPS! I'm planning on hosting one in the spring, and I've already started collecting clothes! I've been to two before, and they're just so much fun.
