Two Newly Empty Containers!!!

Two newly Empty Containers - A Slob Comes Clean

Today was the day for the much dreaded seasonal-clothing-changeover.

I had been putting it off, but was getting pretty tired of digging through the “stored” clothes on a daily basis. I’m sure that tomorrow the weather will be shorts-wearing-sunny, but since Thanksgiving is next week, it’s probably not entirely crazy to call it fall.

I’ve been purging as I go during the last few Laundry Days, and having already purged huge amounts of clothing clutter a few months back, it wasn’t as bad as it has been in years past. And since my 4yo has gone through a growth spurt and completely skipped a size, I’m not storing ANY of her warm-weather-things for next year.

So, with all of the purging that has been going on, as of right now (I say “right now” because I always end up finding stray un-stored clothes), I’ve gone from three storage containers for off-season clothes . . . to ONE!!!

Even taking into account that winter clothes are bulky and require more space than summer clothes, I’m pretty impressed!

    I did the clothes changeover and a basement cleanout. We loaded up my husband's truck bed (full size) and my car and went to goodwill to drop it all off. Whew!

    I did a little bit of this a few weeks ago, but now that it's almost EIGHTY DEGREES in Cali, I should probably redo it. *sigh*

    Congrats on sorting. I seem to be always sorting things and ending up with a larger garbage back of clothes to take to the second hand store, its like sheesh where are all these clothes coming from!

    First time visitor to your blog, and enjoyed reading!

A Slob Comes Clean is the completely honest (and never-ending) story of my deslobification process. As I find ways to keep my home under control, I share the truth about cleaning and organization methods that actually work for a real-life slob. And I'm funny.
