Mom To 4 Cluttered Kids!!!!! HELP!!

by Kitty
(Bakersfield, CA, USA)

I am the mother of 4. We live in a moderate 3 bedroom house with 2 kids per room.

My daughters have a closet and drawers that are overflowing with clothes, and my laundry room looks like a war zone the more I clean the faster it fills up. I need help! How do i manage their wardrobes and the ever mounting piles of clothes in the laundry room?

I work 40-60 hours a week and sometimes I'm only home long enough to eat and sleep.

Sincerely,
Desperately Cluttered

4 Uncluttered Kids
by: Sandie

The first thing I would suggest is to give each child a laundry bag or basket on wheels if you live in a ranch house. Each one could be color coordinated so you know who's clothes are whose. This might help with the laundry room organization.

The next suggestion would be to see which articles of clothing seem to be their favorites. Go through their drawers and closets after about 2 weeks and get rid of the clothes that they have outgrown, worn out or never wear!! Keep the selection to a minimum from here on and you will notice a big difference in the amount of clutter that can be made with less articles of clothing.

Hope this helps.
