A minimalist approach to kids clothing. If I had two girls, I don't think going minimal would go over as well as it did #boymom. We went from 187 items to about 45, and I'm sure we will continue to declutter, reduce and swap lots of items in our closets in the future. Thanks for watching, don't forget to like and subscribe!

It is amazing how having less makes life so much easier! I would rather have 10-12 things that I wash every couple days than have 100's of things that don't get used.

@margaretmatheny 3 года назад

Right? Honestly, why did it take me this long to see it? I take much better care of a few items and it's easier to keep track of them too. It's wild. thanks for being here!!

Love it. My LO was really sicky baby and we found 8 vests and 8 onesies was perfect amount. Even doing laundry twice a week and air drying everything was enough.

Can you make a video maybe about your mindset and how you go about purging? I have two boys (almost exactly the same ages as yours!) and i get so overwhelmed with the hand me downs and the excess but I’m not sure what to get rid of. I’d love to know how you mentally went about getting rid of what. Same with your wardrobe too! Love your channel!!

@margaretmatheny 4 года назад

Yes!! I’ll make one of those for sure!! Thanks for that rec and for your kind words! Means so much, truly!

Dear parents! When Your kids are very good behaviour all the time and always taking good care of their things, keeping their rooms very clean, loving their favorite things and want to make nice childhood collections of their things: books, clothes, toys, video games, clothes, DVDs and etc, then donataing is very wrong thing to do. If You have few space then storage boxes and shelves will help You out and Your kids will be very happy and thankful then, if they can keep their favourite things. Childhood things are very valuable and it is very sad, if they won’t see them anymore in their life. Every child should have the right to keep their things, if they can take good care of them all the time!!! Respectfully, Astra Viil ☺️🙏

I am so glad I found you’re videos! I am new to all of this! Came to the ACTUAL realization of “ok I need to do this already! I am becoming the mom I don’t want to be because of all the clutter. I’ve already started getting rid of things! I started a few months back with clothing because of losing weight! Then today I got rid of more clothes and I’m like how did I still have stuff that doesn’t fit me anymore? So stuff that still had tags that’s still in great condition I just want to give it away or sell it because some is still good stuff and I hate to throw it but that’s what’s causing this! I just keep it to give away and yet here we are

@HighLadyoftheSpiteCourt 2 года назад

We do this regularly but the only difference for us is that we actually won’t get rid of “excess” costs because for us in the pnw, it isn’t excessive. There are times where the most waterproof of coats get soaked, but then we arrive at a new destination and need to put on dry coats, so we will take two to three coats and sweatshirts on one trip. I think I’m probably not minimal with jeans either because diaper blowouts happen, and spills happen, and I’ve had to buy pants tooooo many times when I didn’t have enough. So we keep half their clothes in the car, half at home. And it can make laundry crazy but not usually

I love your decluttering and minimal life videos. Please make more. 😊

My boy has a small wardrobe and I absolutely love it.

@breerodriguez258 2 месяца назад

Love your channel! Is there an updated version of this now that the kids are much older?

@mrsgonzalez6490 2 года назад

I’m in that process Getting rid of excess Matilda Jane clothes . Also trying neutral colors instead but cute ones lol

@lorrainejoseph2220 3 года назад

I am also decluttering and minimizing the wardrobe from mu daughter. She has a lot of clothes. Some that dont fit anymore some that still fit but are damaged. And some clothes that well fit a month and need to get out. And clothes that she likes and fot. I put the items that we damaged in a garbage bag i put it outside the more poor people take those clothes for the kids and they can use them ir ment them of they are handy, i am not the smaller things i store when we ever get a second baby. But i doubt it that happens in this situation. And the other stuff i put in the closet and we throw some things in the garbage

@margaretmatheny 3 года назад

ah, sounds like quite the task! She will feel so much better, as will you. It helps so much.

@mariocartel544 8 месяцев назад

Idk if you deal with this but what do you do when people are constantly giving you massive amounts of hand me downs? My mom will bring over a big garbage bag of things she picks up in garage sales or clearance deals every few months then my sister gives me literally everything my niece owned and that girl has enough clothes to wear a new outfit every day andstill never wear them all. Im pregnant now too and dont know the gender yet but i am completely overwhelmed with baby girl clothes at the moment and my sister said shes got even more things to bring over. Also, ive probably bought my daughter 10 outfits all together and i think that was just when we needed preemie sizes to get us through. Im pretty minimal otherwise but im constantly gifted too many clothes for her. I appreciate it but definately way more than we will ever wear.

@wilkestrydom9229 2 месяца назад

I just take what I want, give the rest away or even sell it if I can. I never say no for hand me downs but it does get very overwhelming if not sorted through and dealt with immediately. There is a lot of people in need so shouldn’t be hard to find someone to bless it with!

@bridgetgough3710 4 года назад

I found your channel when branch basics shared your video. I've been binge watching your videos haha. I'm pregnant with my second boy and im curious about how you can have so few items when they grow out of everything so fast! My purging includes 5-7 items per 3 month period of the first year and then 6 month periods after that. So 0-3 yrs old I have quite a bit of clothes. I also don't want to give the stuff they grow out of away because I'm hoping to have more boys in the future. Sorry I'm just kind of rambling, I just don't know how to cut back so significantly 😬

@margaretmatheny 4 года назад

I saved a box from my first boy and swap when necessary!! Honestly I just put my second baby in larger clothes and haven’t had to swap much at all!!

@margaretmatheny 4 года назад

Also totally get that you want to save! Do what works best for you. I just decided to go with the tactic of buying minimal, wearing pieces out and replacing when needed! Barely bought anything for my second! Also know that you’re never “wrong”! Just do what’s best for you! Good luck momma!!!!

@jessicasullivan2182 4 года назад

all right girl I also have a 9 month old boy and a 3 yr old boy. how do you deal with laundry when this is all they have? laundry every day?! please help!

@margaretmatheny 4 года назад

I do a load a day/every other day! It's just part of my morning chore list while my babies play in their room(right next door to the washer and dryer). Normally it's a small load, but it just suited me better. I had the hardest time doing huge loads of laundry, my clean clothes would just sit there for days. ALSO, because they have around 7 tops each, they always have a few items that are clean if I skip a day. And, ya know, you do what works for you. If you need to keep a few more tops for them if you can't do laundry daily, then do that. You're not wrong! It's just what works and functions best for your fam. LMK what you end up doing!

@jessicasullivan2182 4 года назад

@@margaretmatheny that is a great point about the piles of clean clothes that just sit there... lol. I never thought of that. Ok... I'm considering. Thanks for the inspo! I always felt like I could declutter my own closet but not my kiddos :)
