How to live your best eco-chic Mom (or Dad) life, and simplify your children’s wardrobe to save precious time and money.

Every parent will agree that the rate at which children outgrow clothes is alarmingly fast!  Clothes and shoes, lovingly bought for our children are too quickly moved out of their wardrobes to make room for new sizes. Children speed through seven sizes of clothing in their first two years of life, and will outgrow over 1500 articles of clothing before they are fully grown!  Knowing this, it is worth considering the best way to mindfully re-purpose your child's outgrown clothes, shoes and accessories so that they have minimal impact on our environment.

Here is our guide to a clean and organised wardrobe for your tyke, inspired by the great Marie Kondo (the Japanese tidying expert and author of The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up.) We hope that these tips help you to keep track of your favourite clothes and accessories so your tykes can get the best wear out of their clothing before they grow out of it.

Christmas encourages mass consumerism which prompts people everywhere to buy more than they need, and create a lot of excess waste. Making more mindful choices about how your family celebrates this year can make a significant difference to the waste sent to landfill at the end of the season.
