Hangers for Slacks



These are great. This is the first time I have ever owned a set of slack hangers which I also use for my skirts. I love that I don't have to feed the whole garment through the hanger, I can just slip my pants or skirts on with ease.

These are heavy hangers that will hold your clothes well and keep them in great shape. I would like to say that you might not even have to iron your items when they are removed depending on the length of time they are actually on the hangers.

These hangers can be found on Amazon.




What Kitchen Classique has to say about their product.

HEAVY DUTY CONSTRUCTION: This set of 20 pants hangers is made of strong metal with a black rubber coating making them heavy-duty and non-slip. Each hanger is 5mm in diameter, can hold up to 20 pounds and measures 5.5 inches tall by 14 inches long--longer than most other brands!

-SAVE SPACE IN YOUR CLOSET: The slim and sleek profile of these hangers help you save space in your closet while keeping things organized. Fits most standard size closet poles.

-MAKES DRESSING MORE CONVENIENT: The open ended design of these hangers allow you to save time by easily slipping clothes on and off the hangers without removing them from your closet.

-SEAMLESS DESIGN: These hangers were made from one piece of metal and are not pieced together unlike other hangers that are more likely to fall apart. A completely safe rubberized coating protects you and your clothes from any sharp edges.

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.

      T-02S rechargeable motion sensing light



      I really like these lights by OxyLED and can't wait to see what they come out with next. This time I am telling you about the T-02S rechargeable motion sensing light. When I first opened this I was happy because they had me at the word rechargeable but then I saw the charging cord and thought well it is nice it is rechargeable but once you stick it to where you need it how do you charge it with such a short card. It would have been nice if they made it so a magnet stuck to the wall so you can take it down for charging.

      Well guess what? That is exactly how it was made.  I am in love with this. We put this one in our closet so we can see when we pick out our clothes. Easy to use charge, use, and install. It will go off in about 15 seconds once movement is not detected but  I found it to stay on for close to a minute before it shut off after movement  stopped.

      You can find the OxyLED motion sensing light on Amazon.

      What OxyLED has to say about their product.

      The T-02S is the upgrade version of T-02 motion sensor light, using passive infrared (PIR) technology to sense human motion (within 3m) by accepting the body's radiant heat, Wireless Motion Sensor Light turns on or off based on occupancy and ambient light level. It is designed to substitute a standard light switch and will thus provide a great deal of convenience plus much fun. Besides, its built-in rechargeable battery is also very economical and convenient for use.

      - Sensor Range: 120 degrees 
      - LED Qty: 20 LED

      Organization for your broom closet




      Years ago in our first apartment we had something like this and I have been looking for a good one ever since. Luckily Ohuhu came to my rescue with the perfect holder for our brooms, mops, and dusters.

      We had been storing our mops in the bathroom tub with the pails, and the brooms were stored in between the stove and refrigerator, always falling over, getting in the way when ever we were to take them in or out. Every Time we used the garbage or took it out they would all fall over.

      As for the mops well every time someone wants a shower they have to take them out of the bathtub and then remember to put them back when they are done. The Ohuhu broom and mop organizer installs quickly and holds our mops, brooms, and dusters well. You don't have to fight to get them to stay and when you remove them you don't have to pull hard to be ale to use them.

      Organization is key at any age really, now that I am getting older I like to have everything where it needs to be, I don't like having to look all over the house for the items I need. Even though we live in a huge house, we don't have a broom closet which was half the problem, but we do have a basement and there is a wall there that this fit into just perfectly. Now to find a spot for those pesky mop pails.

      Just the right size




      Being a Mom I am always and forever washing, drying, folding, and hanging clothes. We are always looking hangers that are small enough for our younger children's clothes that are well made and get the job done. 

      I like that these come in different colors for each child but wish that these too came with the option of cascading like the larger adult hangers Bria USA has. That would make them perfect.
