Clothes Clothes Clothes....

So, I decided to go through the girls clothes today.

I came to the realization that both of my girls have WAY too much clothing.


Here is the thing:

Audrey...needs one footed sleeper PER DAY that equals 7. Thats it. I am way too lazy of a mom to dress her in actual outfits heaven forbid dresses. Yet, I find myself keeping all of these outfit around on the off chance that one day I will put her in these outfits. But I know I wont. Its just not realistic or functional for me or her. She doesnt want to sit around in a Hawaiian Print Halter top with ruffled jeans, and a faux fur hooded jacket...she wants to hang out it fleece footed Jammies.

Brynn...needs one pair of jammies and one outfit PER DAY. Thats 7 pants/shorts/shirt and 7 sets of Jammies. And a couple jackets and some socks.....and okay, maybe a couple dresses for parties and such....anything else is not funtional.

I am perfectly capable of realizing this so then WHY do I find myself holding onto all these outfits, fluffy dresses, baby overalls (seriously, a baby in overalls: why?), and jean jackets. I am not the kind of mommy that will ever dress my kids in these really really cute outfits. But I know I just wont.

I am about to put Brynn down for a nap...but I think, when she wakes I am going to get my girls clothes down to a MINIMUM...this is just way too much. I hope I can stick to this new found minimalism....

Good luck!
Natalie has way too much clothing as well, but I'm not going to get rid of any of it.
