Clothing Purges

I've in the past week been working on clothing purges.  My hubby, Munchkin and I really do have to many clothes.  We many not necessarily have the right clothing, but in general we have too much.

On Sunday I did the Munchkin pile.  My sister was bringing over a few boxes of baby/toddler clothes that a coworker had passed along for me.  He is very nice that way which is awesome.  However I was running out of room to store all the clothing I have for my little guy (several people have given us stuff which is most appreciated but can be a little hard on the storage space).  So we lay everything out on the bed by type and size and did an evaluation.  There was stuff in the great pile from 6-9 months all the way up to 4 years old.  Mind you as the size goes up there is less stuff.   Little boys start wearing it out.

We kept a large amount of stuff, but were also able to put a bag aside for Goodwill and 2 diaper boxes for on of my sister's friends.  Now all I have to do is go through the too small stuff I have and divide it up for the people I will be passing it along to.   And I have to make a Goodwill bag of stuff I don't think my friends will use.


Next post......purging my clothes.

Oh those shoes I wanted :(

I was in New York City last weekend for a trip and thought to myself that it would be a great time to pick up a pair of those Vibram Five Finger Shoes.  So I looked up a couple of stores to check out and away we went during our touristy time as the store City Sports was in the area we were going.

Sadly they did not have the colour, model and size i wanted.  But they were very nice, let me try on the size and called their other stores in the city to see if they had any there.  Again sadly no.  But now I can order them online.  The only problem is that no one seems to have them right now.  They are super popular.  Especially black ones I guess.  Even the manufacturers site doesn't have them right now.

So I guess I will have to be patient and wait.  Ebay has lots, but in the wrong colour and in fake.

So of course I will check every day :)

Neat Shoes I Might Like

I'm going to look for a good deal on some interesting shoes that have been brought to my attention.  They are the Vibram Five Finger Shoes.  They are meant to have you walking as if you are barefoot.  A friend who runs recently got a pair and one of my coworkers also got a pair and loves them to bits.  I remember doing lots of barefoot walking as a child and think it would be neat to try them.

They seem pretty nifty and I think I want a pair.  Now to find a pair.  I'll probably have to buy them online, but that's the way the cookie crumbles.
