Confessions of a Clothing Hoarder Part 3



Before

I really didn't think I would be back this quickly for an update because I have been nursing a headache  for two days now but thought while I was sitting on the couch in the living room I should have the kids bring me clothes so I could fold them. My husband was on it like hotcakes to say the least. 

Sure I didn't get it all done, and have no idea why my daughter thought she should turn the dresser and put it on the opposite wall, but I was able to get a lot of clothes sorted and folded with some being put away. I even have a few bags of clothes to be donated. 

I still have a long ways to go but our bathroom closet which was filled with lots of coats, dresses, etc are now in the right places, as well as some of the clothes I had gone through being put away as well. A little at a time and soon enough it will all be done.

Confessions of a Clothing Hoarder Part 2

I wanted to give everyone an update and tell everyone that my daughter decided to move back down this way nearer to where we live so things were up in the air for a while getting my grand daughters room cleaned out and trying to set up a room for my daughter. 

Of course she was only here a few days before she was able to get her own place so the good thing about it is we were able to get two rooms done. The clothes of course just ended up down in the bathroom with all of the others to be washed and thrown on the heaps so they are just larger now. 

We did however cut down on having to look through two rooms for clothes so at least that is done. I will be putting those room up in a post as well. With my Fibromyalgia I kind of do what I can each day. It doesn't always include working on the same project. I am kind of all over the place. 

I know finishing one before starting another is better but I am just not made that way. My mind is pretty much the same always running on overdrive. While I am sick I make lists of what I want to get done and when I am feeling up to it I go, go, go, until I am worn out, doing as much as I can. Yes certain parts of the house looks better but there are still parts that need much attention. 

During this time we decided to combat our upstairs bathroom/pantry. This is a room where we keep all of my deals from couponing that are not food or laundry products, things used for beauty, or in the bathroom. This room also houses our games, and extra bedding. 

You can read more over on the Bathroom Pantry Post to kind of keep these rooms all separate.

I have a huge stainless steel kitchen island that these are used on along with other stainless steel items around the home and I give these a thumbs up because they never fail to deliver a really great shine with no chemicals needed.

Confessions of a Clothing Hoarder Part 1



I read a post tonight and it got me motivated. Not enough to start it this minute as it will probably take days or even weeks to get done, but I do need to get started somewhere. See I have to schedule everything around my health, mainly my Fibromyalgia which can mess the best intentions up.

I can literally make 100 or more outfits without any of the items being reused other then the bottoms. That isn't counting the clothes that don't fit me. To be honest I still have clothes from when I was in High School, and even though my oldest child is now 25. Some of the clothes are as old as he is. No joke.

So after reading this blog post from another blogger I really need to get on the ball and go through my clothes. I won't even go there with my children's clothes, or heaven forbid my husband's clothes. We need a complete makeover for all of our closets.






One look at my bathroom/laundry room and the wall of  clean clothes piled up in baskets that almost reach the ceiling that I haven't folded, that the kids have to look through to get clothes because I don't have the energy to actually fold and put it all away before they go tearing through it all for their favorite shirt.
















As for my husband's and my clothes, well they are overflowing out of the closet, stacked on the dressers, as well as over filling the dressers. I will attach a picture of the before below and then do several other blogs later showing just the work on our clothes alone and if I still have the motivation I will do the girls clothes of course with their help, to at least make it a little easier on myself.






I do know how all of the started with clothes at least for me. I grew up only having a few outfits because my family just could not afford clothes. So as a teenager I had a small income from babysitting neighbors children so I would hit the clearance racks as well as a place called the Purple Barn that sells used clothes near us while growing up to fill in and take over where our family couldn't afford. This started when I was about 12 years old.

We tell our children all of the time how blessed they are to have so many clothes to choose from. When my husband moved from his mother's to our home before we go married he literally moved in with one milk crate, yes the kind that holds 4 gallons of milk. That is all he had for clothes besides what was on his back. So he too when we had our own place got on the clothes wagon because even though he had clothes he never really had much.

So between him and I and then our 6 children we kept getting clothes. Yes I reused clothing from one child to the next but it didn't stop us from hitting great clearance sales and buying more when what we really already had was quite enough. So everything snowballed into what we have now.

I have to come clean in another area of our life too, half of our basement is filled with rubbermaid totes of clothes that are either too small or clothes for my daughters to grow into from their older sisters. I have saved the smaller clothes for my two granddaughters and even the baby clothes for future grandchildren. I will post pictures of this when we get to this. 

We are not quite hoarders just the kind of people who want to be prepared and overly in some cases. I have let go of all of our clothes for our boys unless there are a few we missed down in the basement because both of them have moved out and are on their own. Girls seem to run more heavily with our family and dresses never really go out of style so we hung onto all of those. I even saved shoes of different sizes each size in their own tote.

As you can read, we really need to thin out our basement, dressers, closets, and life. We aren't getting any younger, my health isn't getting better, and our clothes are starting to swallow us up. So join me in the days and weeks ahead on the journey to clean out our closets and take back part of our lives.

I want to be clear that before I worked outside of the home or came down with Fibromyalgia you would never find clothes around the house like this. This is one reason I have decided to get the family on the band wagon to cut back on what we have.

Clear Glass Bottles with Chalk Label



We have been using less chemicals in our home and these glass bottle have been a helping hand. We have one for air freshener made from essential oils, one with wood cleaner, one with a disinfectant, and one with vinegar and water which takes care of most of cleaning needs. The chalk labels are repositionable and there is never any guessing what is inside of the bottles anymore.

We used to use our old plastic bottles from other cleaners, with my husband writing on the bottle what was inside but most of the time the kids would be using the wrong cleaner to do the job because they all had writing on top of the original cleaner that was inside of it to begin with.

Now even though the bottles look the same they don't have to look and see if there is writing on top of what was inside it before because we can easily change the name of the product with the chalk labels.

You can find these glass bottles on Amazon.

The 2 pack of 16oz clear glass BPA free bleach safe spray bottles by Cornucopia Brands allow you to safely and effectively blend, use, and store your favorite homemade aromatherapy and essential oil blends, homemade cleaning sprays, cooking and marinades, bleach, lemon water, vinegar, spray bottle for plants, spray bottle for cleaners, the list goes on for these 16oz clear glass spray bottles.

But....We dont stop there! Whats a reusable 16oz clear glass spray bottle, without a reusable label? You cant relabel it with a brand new label every time you refill your clear spray bottle. So we added a 4 pack of reusable chalkboard labels to make it easy to quickly and easily label, wipe clean, and label again, whatever the contents of you clear glass spray bottle may be!

Simply choose the label you like best from your choice of the included 4, stick it on your clear glass refillable spray bottle, and you have a complete reusable bottle, that can also be labeled over and over!

You will find a multitude of uses arise when you start to use these amber 16oz sprayer bottles, for example:

-Vinegar and water mixture for natural cleaning

-Water and essential peppermint oil for natural bug killing spray

-Water and tea tree or eucalyptus for a perfect sauna sprayer

Clean Car





Looking for a great gift for a car lover or even just a set to have around to clean your car with. This two piece set, one mit with two sides, and one the same on both sides. You can wash, scrub, dust, and polish your car.

My husband prefers to wash our cars by hand but with now being disabled unless the kids do it for us we go through the car wash. I have found that the blue fluffy mitt works great for dusting around my home, and the other mitt is used along with the first for the kids to clean up the bottom part of car, or wherever they can reach. It isn't always perfect but they are always proud of their work.

You can find these mitts on Amazon.


What Exceptional Home has to say about their product.

  • *  Wash, scrub, dust, polish, buff, & dry all with these two mitts.
    *  Scratch-free, Streak-free, Lint-free
    *  Use these mitts in your Car, Truck, Motorcycle, & Boat Detailing.
    *  Our microfiber is the latest top-of-the-line version, so it is plush and doesn't catch on your skin.
    *  Use the sponge scrubber to remove unwanted bugs & bird droppings from your vehicles.

*Microfiber combines polyester & polyamide. Polyester gives the material strength & durability. Polyamide allows the fabric to be tremendously absorbent & quick drying. 
*Microfiber is smaller than hair, so there are many more strands at work cleaning per square inch than a cotton cloth. 
*Microfiber attracts even the smallest dirt particles, ones that cotton cloths would typically brush past.
Why This Cleaning Set Is Better 
*Use the dry microfiber fingers as a duster for your car or furniture. They get hard-to-reach areas such as grills & vents. 
*Use the wet microfiber fingers to wash surfaces large & small. 
*Use the sponge scrubber to remove unwanted bugs & bird droppings. 
*A complaint with other microfiber mitts is that they hold too much water & get too heavy. Because this mitt is 2-in-1, that does not happen. 
*Use the towel mitt for polishing, buffing, & drying your car or stainless steel appliances. 
*These mitts have a non-slip elastic cuff & comfortable inner lining. 
*In the home, your mitts can be used to Dust Furniture, Wash Windows, or Clean Stainless Steel.

Two Mitts Included For Either Your House Cleaning or Car Detailing Kit

Plants love this



Having a bigger garden this year made things a bit more interesting from breaking more ground, to keeping up with weeding, to making sure everything was watered properly.

Rhino Car Gear


Here is our Rhino Car Gear in our own vehicle and it fits great. Love that it holds liquids so that that there are no more bags soaked with drinks from the children. This also helps the children to remember to not put the garbage on the floor. 
When we bought our vehicle we said we wouldn't eat in it, but if  you are  busy family like ours that doesn't always work out so you need a place to put the garbage so that you don't end up with a floor that looks like the dump. 

I have seen many cars like this and just don't understand how it gets that way. Ours has gotten bad enough. We don't always look in the back where the children sit other to make sure they have their seat belts on. 

When we go shopping without the children is when we end up noticing how bad the floor is in the vehicle, and it is usually littered with snack wrappers, their water bottles, pens, pencils, markers, coloring books, and little toys. 

We now have the garbage under control now just to get something for them to put their gear in while traveling so it doesn't end up on the floor and we are all set. At least I hope so.

This bin opens, closes, holds quite a bit as well as being able to be sprayed off and left to dry if it gets grimy. Easy to install.
