Hi Suzanne, I think since there is a 6 year difference between your youngest now and the new babies really go through the clothing and just keep your absolute favorites. Get rid of anything that is faded, stained or has holes in it. Storing the clothing between cold weather and warm weather helps to find things easier. Also think about the season and the ages the babies are going to be. Does it coincide with you other girls? Keep in mind also that friends and family will be giving you clothing as gifts. You don’t have to keep it all. Like I said just stick with your favorites and give to a friend or donate the rest. Hope this helps!

I have been working on this issue myself a lot lately. I think getting and having the bins on hand is my biggest issue. Off to the store I go tomorrow.
