what a great idea! My kids have no choice on their fashion at the moment being 2 and 8 months but i’m sure it won’t be long before they are making stand. I’ll keep this idea in mind. thanks.

I have to say, I picked this up from Carol last year and it has been an enourmous life saver! I was stuck with a ten year old with no fashion sense and a lot of mismatched clothes and a six year old with no concept of dressing appropriately for warm or cool weather. I would send them back to change and of course after they would change they would leave those perfectly clean clothes laying on the floor or toss them in the dirty clothes so they wouldn’t have to pick them up… Arrgh! I keep two sets of ziploc bags, large ones that will fit jeans, long sleeves, and a sweater, and a smaller size for summer outfits. It has made packing soooo easy, too.

I think that is such a great idea! I haven’t run into problems dressing my kids yet because my son is only almost two an my daughter 6 months, but I can see this really coming in handy as they become more expressive. Thanks for the idea!

I did this sort of thing for myself when I was still in the Army (i.e. a t-shirt, underwear, and black socks per bag, kept it all dry and easier than digging in a duffle bag for individual items). I think I’ll try it again for myself and the munchkin for our Wisconsin trip, then I’ll know I’ve got us covered (excuse the pun!).

Hi - I found your site last week and have enjoyed it so far. Thanks for this tip! My kids are young (3 and 1.5) but I think this will work very nicely soon. Ellie is so adorable; my 3-year-old is called Ellie as well
