- 1st Hack is to sort through your kids clothes and toys at least 2x a year. That means you switch out seasons of clothing, Get rid of worn-out or never worn clothes, and rotate clothing sizes removing any clothes that are too small. Also go through their toys and get rid of any broken or things they no longer play with.
2nd Hack is to minimize the quantity of clothing and toys each child has.
we allow 7 play shirts, 2 holiday shirts, 3-4 pants, 3-4 shorts, 3 Sunday/dress pants and shirts (boys), 3 Sunday dresses (girls) and 10 socks and underwear.
Parents tend to buy their children a lot of toys and clothing trying to show them love, however getting your kids too many toys or clothes is actually putting a bigger burden on them then they are able to handle.
Toys are a little more difficult to put an exact number on. It can vary depending on your Childs age and ability to manage their toys. Also we consider a collection of dinosaurs or a bag of blocks to be one toy. We do also have some toys that some of the kids share or are more of community toys. like they will put all their nerf guns together and share them all, or their cars, dinosaurs, or even costume/dress-up.
Be careful with too many community toys that a single person doesn't won though. It can get where no one takes responsibility for them. I do have a daycare/playroom separate that does have a lot of toys in it, however the only time the kids are allowed to play in that room is with adult supervision where it is more of a training ground to teach the kids how to take care of the toys after they play before getting another toy out. After daycare hours or if no adult is present in the room, the children are not allowed in that room so it avoids the room becoming a huge mess that the kids can not handle cleaning up.
She is clear, gentle, unapologetic about rules and limits. I aspire to be like her.
This is what we are doing this week! When we can’t have the whole house cleaned in 20 minutes, it means we’ve got too much junk! We have 11 kids so it adds up quick.
My 9 year old daughter just came to me a couple of days ago asking if we could just get rid of some of her stuff. She said it's too hard to keep clean. This was so great to come across, perfect timing! The sheet Lego idea is simple yet genius 👏
You are a fantastic mum. My kids are a lot older but I have always told them buy new clothes means you have to give some clothes to charity xx
I need this. I now understand my son when he comes to me telling me he hates cleaning his room because it's going to take so long and has a HUGE meltdown. Because it's soo overwhelming because of how much they have between 2 in a room. Well now I'm motivated to get rid of ALOT. like a lot!! We're moving next month. So im in need of this fresh start. This will definitely even help me stop nagging soo much at my poor kids all day about their room. I'm low key a hoarder cuz it's hard for myself to get rid of things that cost a lot to get for the kids but i need to remember it's not healthy for me nor them.
I'm interested in how you organize clothing inventory. Do you have a system for hand me downs?
We do this at Christmas too. The more they give away, the more they can receive! We will donate, sell and pass along so much.
Smart!!!!As a kid who struggle to organize their things and I had a difficult time getting my boys to a point where they were good at managing their things. As I’ve gotten older I’ve learned that less is more. I actually went through my clothing and got rid of 80% of it. I don’t miss a single thing! Thanks for sharing Nancy!
I’ve done the sock thing for a while. Best hack ever.
Is there a vlog out there about feeding, cooking, prepping and serving meals out there?
Just found this channel. I implemented the laundry one. So glad I found this channel!
Great video! I did this with my kids clothes in the spring and you are right it is so much easier for them to maintain. We are still working on toys but we have made a lot of progress. On another note I did my pantry after watching your last video and that came out great! Keep the videos coming, your solutions are the most realistic and maintainable that I've tried.
Wow! The lego hack is genius!
Love your strategies!
Thank you for this video YES!!! My husband and I always disagree on this he says because we have a lot of kids they need their “stuff” but I think they can have their own stuff but not to the point of messy rooms all the time

I have the same philosophy now from your first minute of the video too. Once my children’s rooms are getting too out of hand too often, its time to get things out, both old clothes, toys and random possessions. My second thing is no more room playtime. We have a large house, yard and playroom. They can play there. Rooms almost strictly for changing and sleeping. But i also have very little ones that take naps in these rooms. Thank u for your invaluable knowledge nancy.
Omgg you LITERALLY!!!!!! changed my life thank you so so much
Great system! Thank you! ❤️
