I have now tackled and conquered the kids bedroom closets. Oh my, it feels very good. I took out all the clothes that no longer fit T and packed them away for T2. I decided to try something new. Instead of putting the clothes in boxes marked 0-12 months or 12-24 months I decided to instead put the clothes in boxes marked sleepers, shirts and pants. This way when I dig though the pile of pants to find all the 6-12 month pants I know that once I reach a pair that is 18 months I don't have to dig any further. Does that make sense? I think this will work much better than sorting through boxes of assorted clothing items. In addition to this, I also sorted all the clothes that are too small on L and T2 and packed them away in boxes to bring to the consignment store. I am quickly realizing that three kids can get a bit expensive so I am going to try and make some of my money back from their clothing and baby items that T2 is quickly growing out of. It feels so good to know that once T2 is done with something I can get it out of my house rather than having to store it for an indefinite amount of time. That is the ultimate purge :)
So, here's a little sneak at the closet organizing. I could not bring myself to take pics of what they looked like before I cleaned them so you will have to just take me at my word when I tell you that this look WAY better.
First is L and T's closet. I must admit that it looks pretty tidy because most of their clothes are in the dirty laundry basket.
Summer clothes are packed away in a box. Also, each of the kids have a Memory Box that we put special things in that we think they will want to have one day when they are all grown up.
Next is T2's closet. This little boy has a lot of clothes.
I know that I already posted about the basement but I didn't get good "after" pics. So, here is before...
.... and here is after.
Another before.....
..... and after :)
