slow blogging brought to you by…

  • the cleaning out of my closet, under my bed, the storage shed.
  • the organization of all things junk.
  • the going through of all clothes collected in 6 years of having babies.
  • the washing and drying of all those clothes.
  • the sorting into 4 different giveaway piles.
  • the emotional upheaval that comes with giving away those baby clothes you’ve always kept for “the next one.”
