Yesterday I finally started the task of minimizing our closets. I thought it would be easiest to start with the clothes in the totes in the garage. I also thought that it would be the best idea to do it out back under the tree, then I have to finish and can't set it aside for another day. It should be easy right? Wrong!!! I have a serious problem. When I am pulling out all of Autumn's jeans and thinking, "If I can just get rid of all but 10 pairs." That means I have to cut out 35 pairs of jeans. Then thinking "which do I get rid of the gap ones she's worn once or the limited too ones she's never worn." It has been serious stress. I am a little too attached to my kids clothes, and am buying way too many trying to keep them in style. Hopefully things will go well selling them on KSL. I haven't even touch Molly's clothes. There are 4 totes and a giant box of just 18-24 months - 2T. I thinking I need a recovery program. I was very proud last weekend, though. I went to yard sales and the only clothes I bought were for Lorenne for school. None for my girls even though there were some really cute gymboree ones. I have made it a whole week without buying any clothes for any of us. That is an accomplishment for me. When you realize your kids wardrobes are worth more than both your cars put together, it really is a shock factor. So if anyone is looking for girls clothes I know where you can get some name brand stuff for really cheap. :)

Too bad we don't live closer or I'd take some of the 2T clothes off your hands. Good luck with your decluttering project. I know how hard it can be.
If you come across any cute boys clothes..... :)
I have some decluttering to do also....such a pain, but it feels so good when you're done. For some reason when I have too much stuff it makes me feel overwhelmed. I guess because there is so much to take care of. Getting rid of some of it makes you feel lighter.
Thanks for getting all the clothes for Lorenne. Buying clothes gives me stress. Glad I could help you satisfy your need to shop without getting in trouble. :)
