107: 7 Ways to Stop Kids’ Clothes from Overflowing
Kids' clothes get out of hand FAST. Which is why in this episode, I share seven practical strategies to help you stay ahead of the kid clothing chaos. It's so refreshing when drawers close easily, laundry feels manageable, and weekends aren’t spent sorting piles of outgrown stuff.
You’ll learn:
• Why we accumulate too much kid clothing — and how to stop the cycle
• How a simple 3-bin system (Too Small, Too Big, Incoming) keeps everything organized
• Why setting clothing limits makes laundry easier and mornings smoother
• Smart ways to manage hand-me-downs without letting them take over
• How to deal with sentimental outfits (without guilt!)
• How to teach your kids to declutter and take ownership of their clothes
• The key to keeping new clutter from coming in
When we simplify our kids’ wardrobes, we free up time, space, and mental energy — and we teach our children that enough really is enough.
