If you're one and done...

leslies75 · February 2011

what's your plan for all of LO's stuff? I am storing so much clothes, but for what??? I sold the Jumperoo and am giving a glider/rocker away to a co-worker today...but there is obviously so much more STUFF. I am rather sentimental, but also not a hoarder. And of course there's this teeny tiny part of me that says, hold on to some stuff jussssst in case.

I still haven't been able to part with anything yet. The plan is to sell the good condition things on craig's list and give clothes away to people I know with babies or good will or something. I know I shouldn't have tubs of stuff in my basement just collecting dust but... I am not ready to give it away yet, probably because it reality stings a little.

I've sold all the things we don't use any more - cosleeper/basinet, bouncer, exersaucer, play mat, etc. - except for the clothes on CL. I got most of it for cheap or free to start with, so I'm less sentimental about it and more inclined to part with it. Besides with if there is a jusssst in case scenario, I'd get them for cheap or free again. The clothes I went through and kept a few favorites. I just have had less luck unloading them. Part of me hopes there is someone I can gift them to, but it's unlikely. I put all the money from the things we sell off in a piggy bank for Gabrielle for the new stuff we get her.

I would sell it on CL. I think the going rate is around $1 a piece.

And then use the $$ to buy something nice for your LO.... that'll make your feel better.

(I'm in jersey too... just in case you are thinking of selling?)

We sold the baby baby items and have been giving away or ebaying the clothing. I keep one special outfit per season in a storage tub. It allows me to really save the special items without hoarding!

I haven't parted with a lot of it because DH isn't fully sure we are one and done and there are days I am on the fence about it. Our plan is to wait till 2012, and then have a long conversation about it. If we still are 80% sure we are one and done I think we will sell it: via CL, ebay and consignment shops in our area.

Although we have not officially decided (ie, DH has not had a vasectomy) I have gotten rid of clothing to consignment & Craigslist, and only plan on saving sentimental items. The toys we plan to store at my in laws for my BIL when he has kids. Our house is too small anyway-even if we were to have another baby down the road by some miracle, we cannot fit dd's stuff here until then.
