A good way to make friends at your local thrift stores is to bring in your old clothing and donate it. When the 8-year-old grows out of something, it is likely that your son can then use it. Once you get home, you want to wash the clothing before putting it away. This typically occurs before school starts in July or August.

If you buy your child a new doll, make sure that you donate or sell another one of her toys or you’ll end up with a toy room filled with toys your children don’t play with. I failed at this with my first round of decluttering. Basically, every time you bring something into your home, make sure to take something out.

If you plan to donate it, will the organization use it for the purpose you intended, or spend it on perks for their employees? Most days I try to do some preparation with my sons, daughter-in-laws and grandchildren – to help them learn financial concepts and acquire the ability to wisely manage their money.

Once we made the decisions to get rid of a lot of our possessions (we donated them to the thrift shop), we also decided to be careful about the amount of clutter we brought back in to the house. We also say no to excessive activities for our son, and I say no sometimes to other obligations. We were tired of the clutter.
