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!

Congratulations! I've done the clothes changeover but didn't get rid of anything!! Bad Bad!!
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!
A fantastic result.
One of my most dreaded tasks! Will have to save that for a weekend since I work 5 days a week!
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*
Come on over and say hello! Check out my daughter's attempt at playing "beauty parlor hairstylist"-ugh, why my son is having surgery, my FREE Wii, or my Tackle this Tuesday!
