Are you trying to live a more simple life?
I constantly look for tips, strategies and ideas to make the life of my family more simple. Although my daily schedule doesn’t show it, I am not a fan of busy-ness. At all.
Join me over at Homemaker’s Cottage today where I am guest posting! Kristy hosts a Keeping it Simple series each week, and today I am posting on how to simplify children’s clothes.
I firmly believe that the beginnings of an efficient laundry routine starts with paring down clothes.
Head on over to Homemaker’s Cottage for a little dose of simple.

I absolutely agree! I’ve watched our friends be swamped by their children’s clothes and yet the kids always chose the same 3-4 outfits to wear. This was all brought home to me when we used to travel around the world as a job and would live out of two suitcases (one for me, one for hubby) for months on end. I won’t lie, I got tired of wearing the same clothes, but it made me realize how much excess I had at home. Although my husband and I do have a large closet now, I have been able to clean it out to the point that I know that I wear everything in there on a regular basis. If I haven’t worn it in a year, it goes out. It’s also helped save me money because if I don’t really LOVE something I find while shopping, I don’t get it (and also – if one item comes into the closet, one item must leave the closet – another great rule!). As always, I enjoyed your post – keep up the good work!
Blessings!

It does get old sometimes wearing the same sets of clothes over and over…I totally agree! Due to our very small clothing budget and my lack of love for clothing clutter….I’d rather be bored with the same things.
At this point in my life at least.
One day I’d like to have a nice selection of things to choose from!
Thanks for commenting!
