Hudson has two campaign style 2 drawer chests that normally look like this:
These past two weeks though things have gotten out of control, because with Christmas and Hudson’s birthday came lots of new clothing and both boys have actually transitioned sizes which meant all of Hudson’s 2t items needed to come out and all of Ash’s 6 month clothing needed the boot as well.
After a massive clean out this weekend we were left with two storage bags of what we wanted to keep.
Still a crazy amount of clothing, because every outfit bought out some sort of memory for me and couldn’t be thrown out. We hope to have another child some day so I wanted to save items in case our track record continues and we have another boy and was even thinking that perhaps my sisters would want the clothes some day. Hence massive amount of clothing that I didn’t want to toss.
I took a step back though and realized that I didn’t need to save all of this clothing and started to dwindle down my piles so that I could do something good with the boys clothing now not in the future.
Enter Schoola a company that turns your kids no longer used clothing into money for their school. With Schoola you can go online and request a bag. When you make your request you will receive a prepaid donation bag that you can fill with whatever clothes you would like to donate and leave it at your doorstep for your mail carrier to pick it up.
When the clothes arrive at Schoola they will photograph everything and place it on their site for sale. Now anyone from around the country can shop your donated goodies and 40% of the proceeds benefit schools in your area. That means that for every $5 you spend $2 of those dollars go to a school in your area. Such a win, win! You get to clean out your clutter and you do good as well! So many schools have lost funding and many art and music projects have been cut so every little bit helps to get these programs back up and running.
Our bag is ready to go! Can’t wait to see how quickly our goodies and picked up by new owners and I have been having fun doing a little shopping of my own.
I’m sure you are all like me and have been bite by the new year organization bug. Make sure you request a bag today. The more people that donate the more money your local schools will receive so, make sure you pass the bag and spread the word!
P.S. In the spring Schoola will be launching a women’s section so you will be able to donate your clothing as well.

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
Fall is the perfect season to host an outdoor movie night in your backyard! It’s that time of year when outdoor furniture is still outside and it gets dark earlier than the summer which means your little kiddos can enjoy the movie night as well. It’s so nice to transform your backyard with cozy blankets, […]
Can you believe it’s already November? Before we know it Thanks No. 1 Modern bar cart with patterned sides that looks great as is, but would also look amazing painted a pop of color! Plus it’s only $157. No. 2 This lucite bar cart is a personal favorite of mine. Look at those chic lines! […]
For the longest time our backyard was mainly just grass and a little small area where we laid down some pavers so that we could set out a little plastic table/chairs during the summer. Not exactly ideal for entertaining. For the past couple of years we have wanted to build a deck and enjoy the […]
