I know that special bond with your first born and will always cherish it, as well as the relationship with all my children.<br /><br />Second, I wanted to ask you about your clothing choices. I know that you all dress plain and wear headcoverings, and I was wondering 1)how you all came to that decision? and 2)Was it a automatic switch, or was it gradual? And also, what did your husband think about it, unless it was his decision?<br /><br />I hope I'm not being too personal, I'm wondering because, although our family does not dress plainly, nor do we wear headcoverings, we do dress modestly, meaning the girls and I wear below the knee dress/skirts or culottes (and no not the ones that look just like long baggy shorts, ones that actually look like a dress when they're on) and the boys wear jeans and usually just plain collared shirts. I've been wanting to simplify our wardrobe and eliminate the need for so many boxes and boxes of clothing and make it less complicated for the kids as well. I was thinking of picking a jumper pattern, or perhaps even a dress for the girls, and just toss the rest of their clothes. <br /><br />So I guess in addition to wondering about the reason for your choices, I'm also wondering what your clothing list consists of, mostly for your girls, as I'm not having a hard time keeping up with my boys clothing needs, and how much of each clothing item you suggest for each child? <br /><br />I totally understand if you don't have time to address this,(as if you have nothing else to do, lol) but if you do I would be so grateful...<br /><br />Talk to you soon...<br /><br />In His Grace, <br />saraNaturally Blessed Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15374570019873246461noreply@blogger.com
