And can fold her own laundry! Sheesh! You wouldn't think a one year old could be a clothes horse! But to be fair- a lot of it needs to be packed away as she doesn't really fit some of it any more. It's just so hard to pack away some of these cute little outfits!!
Crack me up Alee! I was thinking the same thing this morning folding a mountain of laundry for Aria and Rianna! I saved a ton of clothes that Aria outgrew for Rianna and have been cycling through those. I just recently went through all the things that no longer fit Rianna and gave them away to friends and family, saving the really, really, precious things. I bought a few of those under-the-bed storage boxes and have them organized for different sizes; 2T, 3T, 4T etc. It has helped me stay on top of the mountain. Amazing!! Happy folding! ~julia

Hi Julia!
Our dollar store has some of those boxes! It looks like it is time to invest in some! Really when it comes down to it- Nora has just enough clothes- it's just hard for me to believe she is out of the 12 month clothes already! Wasn't she born yesterday?
Im feeling ur...umm..pain Alee...lol. Tori has gobs of clothes that I just can't part with and if it looks like it could even be remotely worn by a little man. I leave it out as long as I can. I think we mom's would have more if our clothes were as cute as the kiddos...lol hugs jessie
When life sends storms, remember to dance in the rain!
Wednesday gave me two huge boxes of sofia's clothes to pass along here in kentucky. With so many 'grandparents' .. those children have more clothes than they can wear (not to mention TOYS!) i am looking for gifts to give that won't end up in a heap in the basement or garage .. never played with. going to get lucas a big-flat-screen tv for his birthday this year. there's is only 3 years old .. but it is so cumbersome .. i'm afraid it is going to fall off the tv table onto one of the kids! i think this will be a gift that will keep on giving for several years!
i'm hoping the other grandparents will follow suit. but frank's parents love holidays and gift-giving .. sooo .. i'm not sure they will be able to 'quit'! luckily, they do tend to give money too .. and wednesday puts that into their savings accounts.
if wednesday has a little girl .. she is 'sittin' pretty' with sofia's clothes. lucas is soon 7 .. sooo she has given his clothes away for years. they definitely have special 'keepers' that she cannot part with too.
at least clothes and toys do find a good second home!
Seriously...I can't wait till Nora is a bit older
