More great decluttering tips

Always in the process of simplifying and decluttering.

My biggest problem right now is clothing.

Too many clothes for everyone!

I'm not kidding about the 9 loads of laundry that need to be folded.
Or the 3 loads that have piled up by the washer to be done.

My bedroom is buried in clean laundry.
Which I should be folding instead of blogging about, I know.

But once I fold it - where to put it?
The drawers and closets are already full.

I have to switch out Isaac's 0-3 month clothes with the next size.
Isaac's bedroom is full of boxes of clothes.
Jack's need to be switched out too.

Greg has an issue with t-shirts and socks.
But I noticed he's paired that down to 2 drawers each.

I still have maternity clothes in my closet.
And t-shirts that have no hope of fitting me during my summer of nursing.
(Yes, I'm already dreaming of summer...)

Charlie. His clothes are okay but has acquired a mass of costumes that need to find a home.

There are 7 days in a week.
How many clothes does one person really need?

I still think about instituting naked day so that for at least one day a week - all clothes are washed, folded, and put away to stop the vicious cycle of dirty laundry making.

Ha! I LOVE this! This is so my house!! Constantly piling up baby clothes that are too small that need to go in the garage or attic. Finding places to put clothes for the 3 older kids so they can be easily accessed when the next kid grows into them.

As for the piles and loads? With ya there too! We built on an extra room that was meant to be a den/guest bedroom and basically it's become my laundry place. If the kids need clothes, that's where they go. To sort through the giant mound.

I'm all for a naked day. I want a day with nothing to wash and everything put in its place!!
