If your family is anything like mine, then you’ve probably gathered a few too many “treasures” over the years. It is so easy as your family expands and grows to gather all kinds of things that you will probably never need or use again. A solution? A huge yard sale that allows each member of the family to go through all (and I mean all) of their belongings and come up with items that they can sell. Having a yard sale is a great way to simplify belongings that have accumulated in your home. The first step that my family always takes in having a yard sale is sitting down for a family meeting.
We discuss what kinds of items we might be able to sell and we choose a perfect weekend for the event. After our family meeting, we begin going through our possessions.
Once we have agreed upon all of the items that we will attempt to sell, we begin the process of pricing our items for the yard sale.
If you and your family are looking for a great way to simplify your home and to do a great activity together, look no further than doing a yard sale. It is a great way to strengthen family relationships and teach your children and yourself important skills about living simply.
