Monday Mommy Tip - Control Clutter with Yard Sale

October 29, 2007 | By Marie In A Mom's Life, Monday Mommy Tip |

You can control clutter by throwing a yard sale. This is especially helpful if you have little kids because you know how quickly they accumulate toys. Give your little ones an incentive to sell and let go of toys they no longer use and play with anymore by letting them keep the money they make from the sales of their old toys. This can be a fun activity that you guys can do together - going through all the toys and figuring out which ones they have outgrown. This is a good way to teach kids about business and money. This is also a great way to control the clutter in your kids room.

I absolutely LOVE yard sales, especially this time of year! The weather is just right! Not Hot, a little chilly, but perfect!

I am thinking on my tip so far still!

What a great idea, I am always finding more and more toys of theirs and clothes that just don’t fit and sometimes its a pain to list everything on eBay. Thanks for the tip
