[quote=Anonymous]I agree that the main thing is to own less stuff. For kids, we have only one week of clothes in each size, plus “Sunday best.”. I run a mini load every day so it’s plenty of clothes. Adults have slightly more just because we need a week’s worth of work clothes and a week’s worth of casual clothes and a week’s worth of workout clothes. Kids have 3 pairs of shoes each total—sneakers in their current size, rain boots and water shoes. In winter the water shoes get packed away and in summer the rain boots do, so day-to-day only 2 pairs. We put an armoire in our entryway, and installed a second rod down below for the kids’s jackets so our coats, etc. hang at adult height and theirs is 2’ off the bottom of the unit. We also added one of those hanging storage things for shoes and that’s where we put hats, bug spray, umbrellas, etc. all the little stuff you need handy. Beside this unit is a bench with shelves for shoes. For toys, we minimize what they keep and we purge 3 times a year—right before Christmas, right before Easter and right before kids’ summer birthdays. We have a big bin of magnatiles, a big bin of legos, a big bin of dress-ups, and art supplies. Anything else mostly gets purged eventually. In the kids’ room they each have a 12”x12” bin they can fill with whatever other junk/treasure they want. [/quote]
