Hi JK, GLad you like our home!!! I love peaks into other peoples homes – love love love them!!! And Praise the Lord for Hand Me Downs… I don’t think we could ever cloth our kids without them!!! Providentially every time we desperately need clothes for someone and a Hand Me Down arrives to “stop the gap”… Hope you have a fabulous week over there!!!

Love the little sneak peaks into your happy home. I’m in the midst of changing over to winter clothes and I’m constantly amazed by all the clothes that arrive. We hardly buy any, but are blessed with lovely handme downs.

Hi S, Aaah the curiosity of the blog follower!!! The top shelves of the huge closet in our dressing room are devoted to our clothes… Have a good day!

Hi SleepyKnitter, I absolutely find the less we have the less we have to maintain and the fewer decisions to be made – everyone is happier for it!!! Have a good day!

Hoping not to sound stupid but where do you and your husband keep your clothes?

Thank you for the detailed response! Having lived in a variety of areas around the world, I do understand what you’re saying about living amidst poverty. / Recently I read a blog by an American mother of nine (I think) (Raising Olives?) in which she mentions limiting the number and type of clothing each child in the family can have, in order to spend less time managing clothing. After reading the blog, I tried that for myself, setting a numerical limit ahead of closet-cleaning time and then following the limit ruthlessly, and wound up giving away about half my clothing to charity. Much less to manage! Well worth the effort.

Hi Sleepy Knitter. No, each kid gets three drawers… the big kids three drawers are with their beds. So those drawers are for two boys and two girls – the girls are pretty interchangeable (same size clothes still) so they share their three drawers. #8 has hardly any clothes – being a person of very short stature and his clothes are in the flat box you can see in the finished-closet photo. Everybody has a pair of jeans, a pair of track pants and two pairs of shorts; two or three t-shirts, one or two sweatshirts and a sweater. We live in a part of the world where poverty is rampant and visible on every side, so I can’t really justify owning more stuff. Also we never waste any time decision making on what to wear, the decision is made!!!! How’s that for a super detailed response!!! Hope you have a great week!!!
