NANA SAYS SPRING BRINGS TIME FOR A CHANGE

As the season changes so does the need for different clothes and toys. Changing the closets to spring clothes can bring the realization a whole new wardrobe may be needed. Thus the new Moms and tots sales that can occur on many sites- thank heaven for social media. Many barely used toys can be sold or exchanged. Sharing of items that can be returned once they are no longer needed. Perhaps changing a room from a preschooler theme to a preteen theme with a coat of paint. Making an apartment in the basement for an older child that needs some privacy and the family needs a break from the child's demands. Some children have a way of upsetting the whole household but need to live in the house. Spring allows room for a garage sale, items to give to charity-many even pick up at the house or just giving away to friends and relatives. How many coats are needed in the overflowed hall closets? Purge, purge, purge! Decide on your family's priorities. Are you sports' buffs? Can you find sport equipment at an exchange store? Book lovers- give to used book sales or buy some books at one! Garden tools for children so they can help with their own little patch in the yard. Spring- great time to rethink your family needs, plans for the next few months.
