My love hate relationship with clothes

So I am sure I am like 90% of women out there that love to get new clothes.  The way you feel in new clothes how they fit just right (before the fading, wearing and stretching).  I have become victim more times that I would like to admit for a deal on a piece that I just thought I had to have and then it has sat in my closet ever since. 

I have been trying to purge a lot this winter.  Not only things of my own, but things of my girls as well.  I have condensed my closet down to half of the closet (all of which use to be mine before baby #2). 

However there is still one mounding problem and thus my war against clothes...

The mounding pile of laundry I have every week.  It takes me either one day of all day washer and dryer running or a few times a weekend to get all the clothes washed.  Currently I am only doing laundry for 3 of the 4 residents in the house, but it is still a huge pile.  My main problem with this is that come next week I will have to do it all over again.  Arrrgg...  I am over the washing, drying, sorting, folding and if I am lucky putting away. 

I have been guilty on more than one occasion of just letting the folded laundry stay in the basket until it is all worn.  I have also left it on a large pile on the bed for more than a few days.  I think I am just going to throw it on  the floor in one room and let everyone have a free for all to decide what they would like to wear for the day.  May not work out so well, but you are getting my point.  I am OVER IT!

Enough said... moving on.

Finally have gotten my own computer and I am shooting for updating the blog more often and with pictures.  Can I get a yeah!  I have been spending sometime lately looking at blogland and I have made some observations.

1. There are millions of blogs out there written by some very witty, funny, crafty women that really inspire me to want to create.
2. I am becoming aware of the world of thrifting and I am looking forward to getting out there more this spring and summer.
3. A lot of people on their blogs are talking about becoming debt free and the process of creating beautiful homes on little to no budget... I am all ears.  The idea of being debt free is sounding better and better. 
4. Lastly, I need to get out my camera more.  I have been totally lame these last few months I will take a photo here and there, but need/would like to be much more consistent. So here goes. 

Today I took the girls outside for a little impromptu photo session.  We got a few good shots in the few minutes that I could hold their attention. 


Behold...

Enough for today can't go all in in one day.  Will shoot for more tomorrow.
