I had three baby showers when I was pregnant for my son–one from each side of the family and one from my co-workers. All those items got plenty of use as all three of my kids used them. Many of the other items I needed like cloth diapers and clothes for the baby in bigger sizes I bought from garage sales.

But, we also need stuff for emotional support – stuff to remind us that we are part of a generations old family, that we have accomplished significant tasks, seen impressive places and conquered difficult situations. Kids will naturally accumulate stuff, even when they can’t buy it. Humans need stuff. You want stuff.

However, I’ve decided that kids are big clutter creators. Another source of clutter with kids is gifts that well-meaning friends and relatives give. My husband and I both want our kids to be creative and to use their imaginations. Of course, the kids aren’t the only ones to be blamed.

There have been countless times I have seen nearly new, decorator pieces being sold for pennies on the dollar at garage sales because the homeowner decided to re-decorate. Instead of taking the family to a movie, have a home movie night with friends and family. I grew up with this, in theory and in practice.

Tell us about you and your family. Amanda currently homeschools their three kids. We realized that we wanted to travel as a family and the only thing keeping us from seeing the world was money. We sold extra items that we weren’t using through Craigslist and garage sales. Where are you from? What are your hobbies?

According to the July 15, 2010 Back to School Survey from the National Retail Federation, the average family spent around $600 per child for back to school needs, split between clothing (37%); electronics (30%); shoes (17%) and school supplies (16%). I love to shop garage sales. Involve Your Child in Planning and Budgeting.
