🧺 EXTREME DECLUTTERING KIDS CLOTHES TIPS | Simplify for a MINIMALIST KIDS WARDROBE in 5 Easy Steps

[@AtoZenLife]

How many clothes do your kids have?

[@katiethomas5889]

Less than some, more than others

[@AtoZenLife]

@@katiethomas5889 Middlimalism 😉

[@sierrabird2460]

Two boys 3 (later this month) and 8M I'm trying to become moderately minimalist because adhd 😂 I'm only saving a few days worth of kids clothes between boys enough that if I can't buy they'll be fine. Then adding just a couple things when they hit that side like pj's because they never last to be passed down.

[@lillianbrown6964]

Mine are grown. Oldest has around 15-18 tee shirts, daughter too many to count, youngest, has around 12. That’s just tee shirts. I’m inspired by minimalism rather than minimalist let’s just say 😉

[@TheWay-_Revelation-3.3]

Too many!😅 I have 2 girls and they love their accessories! 💍👑💄👒👠👜🧣👗💖 Hey another suggestion for the long sleeve shirts for your youngest, you could always cut the sleeves off and make muscle shirts for your boys, especially with it being so hot! Just an idea! Love your videos! You're doing a great job as a video creator & as a mama!💜 Sending love from Virginia, USA.🇺🇸

[@KhulanBatbayar]

I put a patch on my son's joggers using his socks with holes lol

[@anaalves3658]

Great idea 👌😁

[@beverlyness7954]

When my kids were young and lived with me, I love decluttering their clothes. I never cried. I was happy because that meant less stuff for me to handle and clean. It also meant getting more for them, but I didn't mind shopping for them and with them. I still help my 44 year old daughter declutter her clothes regularly. It's a type of organization that I love to do for everyone but myself. I've kept clothes for years because I hate to shop for clothes for myself. I have a box of old items that haven't fit me for years. However I started losing weight and plan to keep those items for a while longer to maybe fit in them again. My decluttering end goal is December 31, 2021. After that date I will redetermine if those items will be gotten rid of or if they fit and I can wear them again.

[@char5940]

I cut the sweatpants above the knee to make shorts for the summer! It gets rid of the holes and lets you continue to make use of the otherwise good piece of clothing. Edit: I should have waited and watched the whole video 🤦‍♀️ I just saw that you did the same thing!

[@AtoZenLife]

Great minds think alike 🤗

[@akelly2931]

Thank you for promoting textile recycling and mending! Textile waste is a huge environmental issue.

[@jessicabulloch5302]

I have 8 kids so I can relate to feeling emotional about decluttering when they have outgrown them. Especially the youngest, I think it's normal.

[@AtoZenLife]

Jessica Bulloch Wow, 8 kids = a lot of feels! 🥺 I’m curious, do the kids pants ever make it past the second hand-me-down? My kids are SO TOUGH on theirs! That’s why I always turn them into shorts, hahahaha.

[@debora4446]

What helped my a lot is that i first make piles of shirts, dresses, underwear, pants etc so i can see what i have in each catagory that’s make’s it easyer to choose what can stay and what i can donate

[@anaalves3658]

Good idea 👍😉

[@amandagrogen5153]

I do get emotional...I always remember how cute they looked..awww

[@AtoZenLife]

I totally feel you!

[@minusthesparkle]

Taking a picture of the clothes for memories helps me. :)

[@AtoZenLife]

That is a sweet idea! :)

[@NaptuRo90]

WOW! Never thought of that! #Genus

[@kristiLB93]

YES!!! I CRY WHEN I GO THROUGH MY KIDS CLOTHING!!! The sentimental struggle is real for me. I am great a purging things from my house on a regular basis - so much so, that my family jokes about not giving me anything because I will surely donate it. But that being said, I really, REALLY struggle with letting go of the clothing my kids have outgrown. I have several plastic bins filled with my daughters clothing. One with sentimental pieces both of my boys wore - little rain boots, and hats etc 😭!! I've even kept my nursing pump and accessories because I can't let it gooooooooo!! I get it. And yes, holes in pants are common place in our house (thank you Lord for active kids- I know I'm blessed!) My daughter has even more holey knees in her pants than my boys!🤣

[@SamanthaSweetAnne]

I feel you. We must be related because I can't let go of my kids clothes either.

[@Naffamily439]

You can also cut the sleeves off of shirts to make “tee shirts” or “tanks” for summer sometimes! And I like to lay a pair of shorts on the pants to use as a guide when I cut them.

[@beverlyness7954]

I also wanted to tell you I started mending clothing the Sashiko way. It's the Japanese way of mending clothing to make it last longer. It was more about the rural poor communities that didn't have extra money for clothing so they mended in a visible way to stretch their clothing use. I wouldn't bother repairing too small clothing unless you want to sell them, but if they still fit, visible mending is really fun. The style is fun. There's lots of sewing patterns, lots of colorful thread to use, lots of different cloth to patch with. Very fun stuff. I patched 2 pair of jeans for my son who's 42 years old. Now he wears them all the time again.

[@shandke]

I’ve been decluttering/minimizing and I thought about making a tshirt blanket with sentimental tees. Then I realized I don5 really like them and my kids didn’t really want one. So I just parted with them! That was my most challenging minimizing task so far.

[@jvi6952]

Omg thank you so much for telling me about the H&M recycle program! I've been wondering for years what to do with stained/torn clothes!

[@suzyqfaves4736]

I’ve decluttered so much of my toddlers clothes the last year. Just like me, she just wears her few favorite pieces so I have stopped buying her random cute clothes. Now that her closet is slimmed down, i find that she had more enjoyment in picking out her own outfit for the day.

[@bmoremom8458]

Taking pictures in the best outfits have helped me catalog our memories. I’ve also created a seasonal capsule minimal (7 pants/shirts) wardrobes for my boy (replacing broken knee pants as needed). Moreover, I repurchase durable garments in bigger sizes for the next year when clearances come around.

[@AtoZenLife]

Pictures are a sweet idea! Thanks for sharing your strategy. ✨🙌✨

[@applecrumble6131]

I always try to fix the holes. It’s way better for the environment and works really well. ✌🏻 And no, I never get emotional about decluttering kids stuff 😊

[@AtoZenLife]

That is a GREAT skill to have, for sure - I’ve been wanting to try visible mending (I stink at sewing 🤭).

[@turnersblessedmess1434]

I have no problem mending. My issue is staining. I can’t stand stains.

[@AtoZenLife]

@@turnersblessedmess1434 We have those too. 😣

[@LadyEuh78]

Definitely cried over the tiny baby clothing!😢

[@natashatheresa]

I actually haven't considered the making pants into shorts. I'll have to do that - thanks for the great tips!!!!

[@sararose9664]

Yes I cry and I save so many special made items even if it’s a t shirt that says their name or “big brother” on it. I put clothes in their special boxes along with their art work, accomplishments etc. we are a family of 5 living in a small house that is about 800 sq feet. I’m constantly decluttering and going through our kids clothes to get rid of what they outgrow! I keep my kitchen minimal and only what I use and need. The kids rooms are super neat and tidy because when you have a small house you have to be on top of that! I keep their special boxes for each kid under my bed! Space saver! And I also keep my home decor to a minimum(easier to keep clean!) and I keep a minimal amount of Christmas and fall decor(only 2 holidays I decorate for) I have 2 bins for Christmas stuff plus the tree and 1 container for fall/thanksgiving/Halloween. I absolutely love your channel and love finding other like minded mamas out there ❤️🥰🥳

[@mamarhirhi7179]

I love and appreciate this SO much! I have two girls and the little one gets all the hand me downs. I have two bins of clothing they've both outgrown that I just cannot bring myself to part with. I'm currently reading Marie Kondo's book but I'm only 20 pages in. Thank you for your videos and inspiration!

[@AtoZenLife]

Let me know how it goes! You COULD always turn them into cute upcyles if you are handy... I have seen absolutely adorable quilts and scarves made out of old T-shirts! If not, tell them “thanks” and send them on their way. 🤗 Best of luck!

[@aishahlavigne7022]

I love ur video its so real and as a mom thats wht im feeling too..even to cutting worn pants to make it a short pants im not brave enuf to do it..feels like cutting my sons leg. Wht a hoarder

[@AtoZenLife]

We can work on that here, together.

[@Darvit_Nu]

We are fortunate to have a drop box area that we can take clothing that is ruined (too many holes, stained or too threadbare to save) and the facility recycles it for free into a new resource to keep it out of landfills! 🥰 For the most part, we aren't rough on our clothing but when we do love some beyond repair, we take them to the drop box.

[@themindfulsaver6584]

Love the idea to cut pants into shorts idea! My daugther’s leggings tend to get holes in the knees and I just cut a few to be shorts for under dresses. Thank you!

[@33snowgal]

I have four boys- all a couple sizes apart, the hand me down game is intense 🤣

[@ashleeb9690]

Me too!

[@sailors7398]

My aunt use to tell me and my mom that I looked poor because I had holes in my pants. She recently told this same thing to my 8 year old daughter for having a faded blouse and a tiny hole in her legging. I think this is why I’m constantly buying new clothes for my kids.. thinking that they absolutely cannot be seen in the same outfit. I’m stressed…. Then I’m left with a mountain of clothes that I’m trying to sort threw and I want to cry.

[@SamanthaSweetAnne]

Your aunt is jealous. If she thought you were poor she should have given you new clothes or money.

[@michelleprice5945]

My son always puts holes in his knees ..he's 10! I loved the counting voice!!! Cracked me up.

[@AtoZenLife]

We have more pants WITH holes than WITHOUT. 😭😂 I guess active kids just keep being active!?

[@katerinamaenpaa2342]

I have a pile of pants with holes in them. They were the boys favourites so I was thinking if I should fix them or throw away. Now I know what to do, with summer coming, they can use more shorts 👍🏼 Thanks for the idea, why I haven’t thought of that before! Ps. I’m also one of those people that get emotional getting rid of the smaller ones clothing 🙈

[@anaalves3658]

I remember fixing my nephew's pants when he was little, my daughter is the same, but in the weirdest places 🤔🤷. I sticht them up and she is happy with that.

[@Agoodname4u]

I like to go oldest to youngest. That way I sort the younger kids *after* seeing what just got passed on to them. :)

Thank you for all of your videos. I am curious as to what happens at Christmas and birthdays for the boys with the presents they will inevitably receive from family and friends? I am beginning my child toy de clutter journey tomorrow and thought about this a lot. We have a lot of family and they all love to get them something for Easter, birthdays and Christmas and I’m anxious as to how I would navigate those conversations and situations. I also have two boys but they are starting to look at brand names now that the older kids at school wear brand names stuff. I think in Europe the mentality is much different to western kids in terms of brand name stuff but I also wonder how you navigate those situations? Any advice or experience in those situations would be most welcome! Thanks again for sharing your story. It’s very inspiring and makes so much sense.

[@lmseaman]

Knee holes are how I learned to mend pants. Most of the kids pants have reinforced patching inside them by about mid-school year.

[@astraviil3043]

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

[@catherineb8658]

Sorry I know this video was posted a while ago but I just found your channel and I have a question for you or anyone else reading the comments - at what point do you involve your child in the decluttering process? I want to teach my stepson to declutter and let go of things so I involved him in doing his clothes but he was very fastidious and wanted to get rid of so many good things just because they had a grass stain or a loose thread. He's 7 and gets soooo many new and hand me down clothes from relatives. I don't know what to do 😅 it was painful to me that what he didn't want to get rid of were old, small and holey and wanted to get rid of new, good things for really weird reasons, but I also want to involve him in these choices and respect his choices

I'm definitely getting to the point where kids clothing will make me cry. He's only 19 months, 3 feet tall, and running and climbing the oven door. Where did my baby go? I love my little boy to death! 🤧🤧🤧 I give myself permission to keep my favourite pieces. Then, when I revisit them, I'll gradually whittle down my collection to an amount I'm willing to store long-term.

[@AtoZenLife]

I know how you feel! If you are crafty at all, you can save the clothes and make a quilt out of them later - it’s such a cute idea, but that’s way beyond my skill level. 😅

[@lillianbrown6964]

@@AtoZenLife great idea

[@tcarrasco4498]

My girls are so emotionally attached to their stuff, especially clothes. They remember clothes I’ve put away for the season or because it’s too small and needs to be passed on to the next child and will ask to get them out. I know I need to declutter some things without them seeing, but how do I help them through their emotional attachment so they’re not crying about clothes we needed to get rid of? And how can I graciously deal with people who are continually adding to the clutter and excess (gifts or hand-me-downs; which are sometimes useful and needed but often we could do without)?

[@alliecatarts]

I get super emotional too!! It's so hard for me to declutter. I sold a few lots on ebay but still have tons left. I will definitely try your idea to say goodbye and let go. Have you kept any items for sentimental reasons or projects, or do you get rid of everything once it no longer has a purpose? I saved a lot of clothes in hopes of making a memory blanket but I should probably just let go. Why is it so hard!? Also, Goodwill and most other thrift stores also do textile recycling. You can just drop off with the rest of your donations and they will sort it. They get paid for them too so it's a win-win for everyone.

[@daviddaviedavidson]

You can cut the picture on the front and sew it onto a bigger size shirt :)

[@daviddaviedavidson]

Or also on a blanket quilt style. Use the same colo(u)r thread as the blanket. Then he can still use the blankets blank side in his teen room.

[@Michelle-by9fp]

Heck yea I cry. I still have some too cute to donate and too sentimental to sell clothes from my daughter that are size 12 and 18 months stored in her closet.. she is in a size 3 now 🤣

You could take a photo, make a quilt, a scarf, or many other upcycles if you are crafty! Or keep a FEW specials in a memory box for her.

[@Stephyrodolfo]

Just FYI Unless the items you “recycle” are 100% a certain material (For example 100% cotton, or 100% linen) with not even a .1% of any other material… your item will not be recycled and it will end up in the landfill. H&M along other stores do something called greenwashing, unfortunately.
