When you have four kids, you have a lot a excess stuff that needs to go. Also, when own 29 houses and people move out, they leave stuff behind, so all this stuff has to thrown away, given away or sold. We use several ways to sell stuff. Sometimes we swap, or use Craig's list, post on garage sale sites or the old fashioned and have a yard sale. Yard sales are much, much more than just a sale. They are a time to work together, talk, hang out and meet people you normally wouldn't come into contact with in a normal work day. It is also a time to play with the kids and get your husband to do errands he normally doesn't do. The goal of the yard sale is to clear out stuff you do not need and make a little of the money back you spent on buying the stuff or in my case usually, to get rid of stuff in my garage left behind by renters. A huge plus is nice weather. It was cool this morning at 6 am, but a sweat shirt and coffee took care of the problem. As the day went on it grew warmer and we were able to shed our sweat shirts and enjoy the sun.
