To save space we keep our off season clothes in rubbermaid boxes in the basement which means we sort through all of our clothes at least twice a year. I have a rule when I rotate my clothes that helps me be more objective about what I keep (rather than sentimental): "If I didn't wear it this year, I won't wear it next year! Get rid of it!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423302133297844372.post-34056587336286933932009-03-24T08:48:00.000-04:002009-03-24T08:48:00.000-04:00i REALLY like the idea of setting a timer. i am so...i REALLY like the idea of setting a timer. i am so good at getting side tracked when doing something around the house. thanks for the idea.<BR/> i feel like i do the kids closet all the time- for the sake of them growing so fast. but its time for mike and i to do the same! that will be a goal this week :) thanks<BR/>-lizAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423302133297844372.post-44082254762312444862009-03-24T08:05:00.000-04:002009-03-24T08:05:00.000-04:00Also, one more thing.

He tends to just stick with the clothes he is use to wearing. <BR/>I made the comment, "See, a little is actually a lot." You really don't need a lot of clothes & you have proof. You had a lot but did not wear half of them. You only wore the other half & it was a lot already. I try to remind myself that more is usually not a good thing. It just clutters my house & that creates work!!!Regina Coblentzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03054742665926592882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423302133297844372.post-76326373197500984362009-03-24T07:59:00.000-04:002009-03-24T07:59:00.000-04:00Thanks Courtney for the blog.

I even shampooed the carpet in the closet. It's embarrassing but it was very dusty. I don't get in the closet that much & dust the baseboards,etc. When Mark got home from work, I asked him to go through his clothes & get rid of what he doesn't wear anymore. I could tell, when I moved his clothes out of my, way while cleaning the carpet,that there is a lot of clothes I have not ever seen him wear. We discussed how we tend to keep clothes even though we have no intentions to wear them again. Wow... we both got rid of a lot of clothes. We have 3 large (30 gal.) black bags to give away. I felt so good last night after we got done. My upstairs also felt & seemed a little more "dust free" than it was before. I also got rid of purses since I am not one who likes to switch purses often. I will buy one & use it for 2 yrs before getting another one. So, why keep them when somebody else could use them & same with the clothes.Regina Coblentzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03054742665926592882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423302133297844372.post-10916880949810894822009-03-24T07:51:00.000-04:002009-03-24T07:51:00.000-04:00Thanks girlies - just 10 more closets in the house...Thanks girlies - just 10 more closets in the house to go argh!!
