Day 1 - Basement boxes/kids clothes
This took me a LOT longer than I had anticipated. Here's the start picture...sort of.
I really had only planned to work on the boxes of children's clothing. I considered myself pretty good at keeping things sorted, labelled, and put away. I don't know why I ever thought that of myself. I would just get done...or think I was done...when I'd find ANOTHER box filled with 3 different sizes and with both boy and girl clothing. ACK!!! I also haven't had the pleasure of dealing with cold weather/warm weather clothing either before now. Warm weather year around has its perks!
I got the majority of the cold weather clothing packed away, the warm weather clothing clean and in the proper drawers, next winter's clothes sorted and ready to be switched out this coming fall, and all the tiny baby items stowed away for possible use in the future. Whew!
In the end I have this:
3 boxes of clothes to be sold or donated.
1 bag of unuseable, torn, severely stained, or paint smeared clothing.
And a nice stack of boxes full of clothing and baby items ready for future use!

My house is still in shambles (its usual state as you will see in the days to come) but these boxes are squared away and my children have drawers full of clean clothes for the Spring and Summer.
