Confessions of a Clothing Addict

As I walk around the house cleaning and getting things in order for back to school.  I am met with this beautiful table. 
 
Yes, those are clothes.  There are three bins stuffed in the closest.  They will hardly close because they are packed full!  I mean really, let me be honest and tell you that one of them will NOT close.  I have things sitting on top of it so the lid won't pop off. 
 Those clothes, well, they don't have a bin.  AND they won't ever have one!  They are going to some other little boy so he can love them. 
I don't know when it actually started or how it started, but it started!  I started buying a few pieces of Gymboree for Cade.  It was just so cute!  I remember my very first order online, and I bought every single piece from one line.  I loved it!  Then I found Janie & Jack - oh my!  It was bad!  If you are a Janie & Jack shopper you can probably spot a couple of their outfits in my pictures.  I remember calling Janie & Jack's in other states looking for pieces.  I knew which stores I should call to find cold weather clothing, warm weather clothing.  I knew which ones had the nicest employees.  I mean, I even had SA's calling me to tell me about sales and ask me if they should pull anything for me.
One day I found another brand to love - Mini Boden!  OH MY!  It was love at first sight!  I couldn't resist the clothing, and honestly I still can't.  I love Mini Boden and would dress the boys in in daily, okay let's be real again, I do dress the boys in it most days.  Sometimes I mix it up with a little Hanna Andersson.  Haha!  

Anyway, my whole point was, I don't know when this actually started or how it started taking me over but it has and it does.  Last night as I was cleaning and I saw the piles I decided I was DONE!  I am not selling all this stuff, I just don't have time.  Sure, I could make some extra money, but what would I spend it on?  DING, DING, DING...MORE CLOTHES!  So those bins they are finding a new home this week and I am vowing not to overbuy.  Please someone help a clothing addict out and make me stick to this.  First step admitting you have a problem! There you go, I did it!
