Not a totally lost art! We have some church friends that hand down clothes to us for our kids. It is super helpful.

Then on most clothing we just have a few items a year to buy. AND SHOES. Always with the shoes! LOL
Thx

I love hand-me-downs and we've gotten so many things for the girls. It's way easier with girls too - I remember my brothers got stains and holes in their clothes so fast, barely anything made it to the next one. I think my MIL would pass down a lot more if we lived closer, but sending boxes to us are ridiculously expensive. If you're ever planning to visit SE Asia, let us know ~ I'm sure she'd ask to send a full suitcase with you!! LOL
