T-Minus 491: Purging Baby Clothes

One of the hardest things to do has been to purge the baby clothes and the kids clothes. Every piece of clothing comes with so many memories. I can remember my daughter running down Main Street of Magic Kingdom in one outfit. The time we went to Niagara Falls in another outfit. The family Christmas pictures. Playing in the back yard. There wasn't a single shirt or outfit that didn't have some memory attached to it!

We decided to take pictures of our favorites and to put everything into three piles: Keep it, Donate it, and Sell it.

We took  A LOT of pictures! We had a nice assembly line going. My wife would set the clothes down and make it look nice. I would snap the picture and then move the item out of the way for the next item. In rapid fire we took many hundreds of pictures.

The clothes were packed away carefully and they are like new! If anything doesn't sell, we will either keep it for the May 2021 yard sale, or, donate it and get rid of it.

You aren't interested in reading about my tote stats, but, it helps to keep me motivated: Out of 270 totes, we have gone through 41. 27% of our totes are now empty! 6% of the totes are my adult daughter's belongings and she has been stopping by on the weekends to go through those.
