Are toys taking over your home?
The gift-giving/receiving season is here, and if you’ve got kids, you know what they’re going to get—TOYS!!!!! I loved getting new toys!! But parting with old ones was hard for me. (I knew I needed to, because I couldn’t stand it when they wouldn’t fit nicely in my toy box (lol), but it was hard!) If I would have known they could go to a good home, it would have been easier. I love these donation ideas for gently used toys, and I also love these storage ideas for the new ones coming in. Happy holidays to you!

Out with the old! It\’s Yard Sale time!
Happy Spring!! This time of year always reminds me of my mom’s annual Spring cleaning yard sales. They were such a production! My sister and I would go through our clothes and toys, we’d help her make the signs and set up the tables in the garage, and then we would pin a price tag on EVERY item! It sounds like a lot of work, but it was actually fun because we did it together. I’ve carried on the tradition and have held yard sales for the last 15 years. My son helps a little bit, and my girlfriend helps a lot. 🙂 It’s a great way to clear out the old and create spaces that are new. It’s extremely energizing and I highly recommend trying one this Spring!
