Sentimental item your child outgrew but can't seem to part with? Have some fun and enjoy it with them! Have your teen read you that Dr. Seuss book they love and have some fun!

Exploring may keep them off the electronic devices and who know - maybe they will find some things they forgot they had and entertainment for the day - found!

You probably will want to set some ground rules like….you can't sell your sister's stuff, anything in the fridge, etc.
Don't forget to check the garage, basement yard or even the attic (make sure it is cool when you check there!) for treasures to tag! To give you some items about what you can put in the sale, here is a list of what to find in each of our 2 buildings:
