I have been trying so hard to keep up on keeping things clean and laundry done, but there are nights when I just need to SIT! Of course, it is those nights when the house seems to be the messiest, dishes are piled in the sink, laundry is sitting in heaps on the kitchen floor (because there is no room left in the bathroom) and the girls need a glass of water or have to go to the bathroom 50 times!!
In the next 4 weeks I am challenging my self to get rid of 4 garbage bags of 'stuff'. These bags will get donated to Goodwill or Salvation Army, but they will no longer be at my house and that is the goal.
This week will be my first week to get rid of a bag. So before this Saturday I will have one garbage bag of 'stuff' ready to go. I know clothes is a typical area to find things to donate, so that's where I plan to start. As I have been trying to keep up with laundry I have noticed just how many articles of clothing the girls actually have. I want to get rid of it, but there are so many cute things. I think to myself, 'she may not want to wear these, but the next one might.' So I don't get rid of anything. This needs to stop. I need to figure out a system to their clothes. This is definitely going to be something I look into.
Since you have all girls I think I would keep the nicest clothes. Why don't you purchase some of the vacuum sealed bags and label the bags...4T...3T. The bags will not take up much room since you have vacuum sealed them. You will also be saving money by having clothes on hand. The stained, ripped clothes you can cut into rags or simply toss. :)
